The Game Awards 2023 | Baldur’s Gate 3 Wins Game of The Year

[5n0man]

And we can look at a number of our peers on this site shytting on Spider-Man 2(Wokeman, Sameman 2). Didn't stop that game from getting nominated...

I don't remember any controversy surrounding Wokeman 2 other than a few xbots on this site angry about Starfield.

There was no controversy outside of this site.

Can you post some of this controversy around fakkitman 2?

I'll keep the same energy when I see the same energy.

nap wilding but spitting facts.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Go read the official thread if you don't remember the insanity around the reviews for that game. There were reviewers who gave the game a good score while spending the entire review talking about JK Rowling's opinions and talking about how you're transphobic if you buy that game.

It feels like you're exaggerating. Post a link to 10 reviews that did *exactly* what you're claiming.

Hogwarts Legacy may end up being the top selling videogame of 2023 and gets no love at the Game Awards due to the politics of an author who made zero contributions to the game. Alan Wake 2 benefits from recency bias. RE4 being on the list is just complete nonsense. Zelda and Mario games always get a free nominations, so no point even arguing merit. I've always found the Game Awards nothing more than a show to watch trailers, even when it was hosted by Spike TV.

I figured its worth posting again. Don't worry its time stamped.

 

[5n0man]

Hogwarts legacy not being nominated for ANYTHING at all is suspicious as fukk no matter how you slice it

This is all I'm saying.

And it's not a coincidence when the same people who wanted the game to be boycotted were the same ones voting on the nominees.

Blame JK antics and not the game and people that don't like her

[King Sun]

Oh i see why @5n0man is mad


The story, besides being rooted in anti-Semitism (a global “cabal” is trying to end slavery but that's bad because the slaves like being slaves), doesn’t even feel compelling. It feels muddy, a minefield of unanswered questions and unexplained motivations. And speaking of which, the characters often flat-out state their motivations, but they don’t feel believable or even particularly coherent. It says it’s Hogwarts, but it doesn’t feel like Hogwarts. Even despite the controversy around Rowling herself, the game feels like it was put together to tap the eager nostalgia of fans without any attention to making it actually worth playing.

 

[5n0man]

I just realized hogwarts didn't get nominated because the gaming industry hates JK Rowling.

Blame JK antics and not the game and people that don't like her

That's exactly what I did, and you retards tried arguing that it wasn't true. But now you admit it was.
