You're telling me a dlc that requires you to play the base game is nominated for goty? goty is a joke.

 

[winb83]

It's gonna be Astro Bot. No JRPG is winning GOTY. It's too niche a gerne to allow that that rules out Rebirth and ReFantazio.

 

[CM_Burns]

Its just as good as wukong, there’s a weird pushback to the game though.

i agree erdtree was like an 8/10, it wasn’t nearly as good as the main game.

I still haven't played WuKong. Stellar Blade was very good but didn't have enough level variety to be a clear GOTY imo. Great combat and soundtrack though.

 

[Hood Critic]

Wukong

I ain't mad if it don't win, just glad it got the nod. Too many people wanted to act like it wasn't heat rocks because they struggled.

remember when that dude snuck on stage with the Elden Ring team

Biggest wasted oppurtunity of all time.

how do you get the chance to go on stage with Miyazaki and not troll people that ‘bloodborne 2 is coming soon’

 

[ALonelyDad]

Thats crazy they nominated 2k over it

2K despite it being trash is still over most sports games just due to their past work. None of the sports games provide as much detail and content like 2K do but all of this has been in 2K for years so they just get it from past reputation even though the game itself has been boring in recent years. I think College football should have got it because people loved it and it sold well.

No Hellblade is CRAZY

 

[GoPro]

Can someone tell me wth was around with DD2 besides the traveling, which you can somewhat circumvent by obtaining portcrystals? It got the same Metacritic as SH2 (86), better than BMW (81), yet was snubbed out of everything. The amount of fukkery DD2 has is legendary. The uniqueness of a shared pawn system, pawns catching nuclear covid, good story with hidden endings, traveling at night vs day, varied combat styles, crazy ass boss fights.

I'm lost

Incentivises Mtx for basic things, bad performance, horribly written story and characters, pawn system needed more work, encounter design was ass, post-game was incredibly short, difficulty was imbalanced leading to the game being incredibly easy 3/4th’s of the way through, no memorable music outside of the main theme, they didn’t do anything unique to make it worth playing new game +, not enough enemy variety, etc.

game feels like objectively it should have been rated nearer to a 76 on mc and im my own personal opinion even lower. I think most people just realized that post release when the hype cooled off and it wasn’t elden ring part 2

the fact that Itsuno just dipped from capcom is like icing on the cake. Like good luck for yall waiting on some substantial DLC like the first game got

I was just coming back in here to post that I forgot it got a RPGoTY nod. So I'm cool, but hold on

MTX - easily avoidable and purely for people who wanted to cheat themselves. Though yes, it left a lot of people salty at release.
performance aight aight. But the game is gorgeous, and I'm 4090 ganggang. Iono about the plebs
Story - Astrobot? ER?
pawn system needed work?
imbalanced latter difficulty? In Skyrim, you can literally become a god through crafting, and it got GOTY
I'll give you music and enemy variety

I guess they should've made the boss fights where you had to die a thousand times until pattern recognition sets in.

MTX - easily avoidable and purely for people who wanted to cheat themselves. Though yes, it left a lot of people salty at release

for example, the game hits you with Dragon’s Plague. They are basically telling you to commit the next 5-8 hours farming stones to bring back quest npc’s or you can just Spend 1 or 2 dollars on them in the store.

Story - Astrobot? ER?

Yes, when you make story and cutscenes a big part of your open world rpg people expect it to at least be coherent and have some payoff. I didn’t see half the characters i met in the first town for the rest of the Story. I’m still not even sure who the cat lady on the box art is supposed to be lol

pawn system needed work?

Yes, lifeless dolls that just constantly repeat the same shyt ad-nauseum, throw themselves in water or off a cliff mid quest, and walk around with herp. I’d rather have real party members with individual personalities instead of 3 lifeless dolls walking into walls for 60 hours.

imbalanced latter difficulty? In Skyrim, you can literally become a god through crafting, and it got GOTY

TBF skyrim doesn’t have skill based combat either. In fact the combat is like the one above average thing in this game, when it ends up hitting a ceiling around level 15 there’s not much else to look forward to. When im one-shotting dragons by level 20, you know it’s something that needed more thought. You can’t compare a game like this to skyrim that has way stronger role playing elements to it

guess they should've made the boss fights where you had to die a thousand times until pattern recognition sets in.

Naw, they should have just had better balancing and more unique encounters, bosses and regular enemies. I’m gonna be honest and say I don’t even remember much of the boss fights in the game because almost every single one of them you fight out in the field as regular mobs.


these aren’t nitpicking to nitpick because capcom already went back and updated a lot of these issues since release. I just know I’m never going to play the game again because it still has a lot of core issues that can’t be patched out

 

[The Mad Titan]

Been telling y'all for years Geoff and the Game awards is a joke.

If he did get random 1st looks I wouldn't watch it at all.
