That's why I said videogames aren't a storytelling medium, because "gamers" will defend games with no real story because they like the game play.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 Plagues Tale for narrative and Gran Turismo 7 for sound design
I don't know how people watch that shyt

Every single artistic medium that exists has the potential for storytelling, art isn't defined by fan culture.
I know. But try telling them that.
Found a youtube playlist of all the trailers, I'm not watching the game awards
this would’ve been the smart thing to do but I was dead set on “winning” another steam deck so I watched the whole thing…they need to chop off like an hour or so smh
*edit*
this is missing a few trailers from the pre-show that aired from 7:30-8PM…it’s one in particular I was looking for but I forgot the name…I’ll have to go back into the thread and look for it
this is the game I was talking about…in hindsight tho it doesn’t look that exciting…

Y’all are equating “cutscenes” with “story”.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.

Story can be told in lots of ways. That’s what makes gaming unique.
Elden ring has more “story” than most games. It’s just up to the user to uncover it.
I missed the FF16 trailer last night.
Game looks crazy

The way Elden Ring uses item descriptions and NPCs to tell a story is not comparable to other games. It's not cohesive and at times is completely nonsensical. It lacks progress, character development and direction, it's a great game, but it has a thin story that shouldn't win any narrative awards.

Play Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, it was made with people like you in mind.

It's a lot easier to get into than the other Souls games for the most part.

LOL
the message i got from this show is that xbox doesnt actually exist
I disagree, it is a storytelling medium, regardless of it's idiotic audience.
There's people who defend trash movies and books too, maybe they love the action of the movie, or the author of the book, rather than the content, it's what we do.
Agreed. People who think that equates to a story on par or better than a story that does incorporate those elements are blinded by how much they love the game or don't know how much better those other stories actually are.

Probably stalled because of covid, they were talking about this on the digital foundry podcast, certain team got absolutely fukked by the pandemic based on where they were in development.
