The Game Awards are joke as usual

[ValentB]

Best Story:
Yakuza 8 nominated even though it's the worst, the dumbest and most depressing Yakuza story.
SH2 remake nominated despite it being a 1999 story. By this logic, where's Persona 3 Reload then?

Best art direction & Best music:
No P3 Reload, no SMT V Vengeance?

Best sports / racing:
I know that Test Drive Hong Kong isn't the best game but it's still miles ahead of boring broken overpriced annual junk. Nominees are literally "Mostly negative" on Steam.

Best action game:
Where's STALKER 2?
Why do you even nominate and held awards in Nov-Dec instead of Jan-Feb next year?
Is it gonna make nominees next year then?

Same question for Indiana Jones in best Action/Adventure.

Best adaptation:
LAD: Yakuza nominated..............
Awful AF fanfic parody on fanfic parody. That's what that s**t is.

Most wanted game:
No KCD2......Scared of Christianity in your games?
But for some reason they think Ghost of Yotei is smth people eagerly wanna play.

why are we not voting through Steam anymore lmao

The Game Awards and The Steam Awards are two separate things that just happen to both be near the end of the year (okay maybe it's not that much of a coincidence)

This happens every year, where something releases in December but can't really count towards the year it releases in, and isn't really considered for the next year either I think.

Am I the only one who thinks the game selections keeps getting weider and weirder every year for The Game Awards?

I LOVE elden ring. But the shadows of Erd tree is AN EXPANSION.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF GAMES RELEASED EVERY YEAR. good and bad ones ofcurse.

BUT THE JURY IN GAME AWARDS ONLY KNOW 10 COUNTED ON 10 FINGERS.

The Steam Awards nominations start November 27th (end December 4th) during the Autumn sale...

And remember, the Autumn sale starts the day before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving in the US is always the 4th Thursday in November.

It all comes down to which publishers are prepared to pay the asking fee to promote their game. And given he wants to trademark the term "Game Awards", he needs every penny he can squeeze out of them.

It's The Game Awards, what did you expect of Geoff Keighley, the sellout?

:nkCool:

Yep the only reason Metaphor is there cause SEGA chose to promote this game heavily everywhere.

Otherwise such "weeb" game would never be there among USA snob elitists.

something we always cared about in gaming?.

Who "we" and since when Ghost of Yotei is on top-5 most wanted 2025 games?

Pirate Majima game gets much more buzz than that.

Wait until you see the Steam Awards later this year.

I think (and hope) RDR1 gets Steam GoTY.

Gonna be funny to see triggered anti-wokers crying how RDR1 "is for democrat hair-pink Ukraine NATO WEF soros supporters". All because their wuxia furry monkey 6 hour tencent slop didn't win.

It also can be viewed as a pretty "good" circus with all these silly 's and all. Even thought their whining(opinion) are just annoying and pointless in general, it's still kinda funny to see such things time to time

As are "reviews" from most game journos.

Same "journos" that nominated Wukong for GoTY? Same ones that nominated Elden Ring for most wanted 2022 game and then let it win GoTY?

Seems like you're on the same page as those leftist journos. So why hate against them?

I have no idea about those things you say, because I don't give a rat's ass about those journos or about these award shows. Mainstream journos are basically extensions of marketing departments. Mostly. They deserve to be hated because they are liars.

They're not wrong. Awards, gaming sites, reviews from such sites, it's all part of marketing. It's so they can place them on their ads and store pages, touting "x awards" or "9/10 Best game" lines.

It's simply the industry helping itself.

Ye I know, I'm just saying that those who call themselves "anti-woker dissidents", they should be against any big games that media are pushing.
Yet they're crying for Wukong that is backed by half of western media, all chinese media and sponsored by tencent. Not to mention having "woke" content they despise.
