Don't know how you can win game of the year for a game with such a nonsensical story. There is literally no plot. Just a social media/meme juggernaut. This had no business beating GOW

ER was gonna win esp if GoWR didn't get it.

I do agree that the story of FromSoft's games can be :dahell: tho

I heard there was no real story. Surprised it got the GOTY.


The lore for ER is super deep they just don’t spoon feed the overarching narrative to you.

Lore Hunting is a huge aspect of the game for a big part of the player base and there are still new theories and secrets being discovered regularly. It’s another reason why the game has had so much lasting power since release.

Gaming isn't a storytelling medium, I get it.

Elden Ring deserves to win best game but Souls 'lore', which basically boils down to item descriptions and fan theories, should not be considered a full narrative, it provides context, but it isn't a story.

Elden Ring beating GoW for game direction, GoW beating Plague Tale for narrative and Gran Turismo 7 for sound design:dead:

I don't know how people watch that shyt :russ:

Plague Tale Requiem’s narrative was my main point of contention with the game. They tried way too hard to steer it the direction of TLOU2’s misery simulator and didn’t pull it off with half the amount of nuance.
