Ludwig Votes on The Game Awards

[@DankBobRoss]

Ludwig unintentionally finding why it’s so hard to get a consistent dnd group is so funny to me

[@Ser--]

It is difficult even for people who don't value their time at thousands per hour.

[@Soleilasens]

Hes a manchild

[@masonsmith3358]

he's American I though he was French bc he never shuts up about it

[@maddognw7951]

This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen

[@UnfeelingMonster]

Why not both?

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

@@UnfeelingMonster Cause unless you have one parent born in France and one from the USA you ain't. Americans do this weird thing where if their grandparents are from say Ireland or Italy for example yet their parents and themselves are born in the USA they somehow are from that other country, nope you are 100% American.

[@fluxcube]

3:53 As a hardcore D2 fan, this stung. I think it has deserved it in the past, but holy FUCK did Bungie drop the ball recently. I cannot believe Destiny got nominated right after completely gutting the Community Team. Bungie is a laughing stock rn imo

[@miirico5398]

It is actually a fucking insult to the people who worked at bungie for D2 to be nominated as best community supported and a spit on the face to its playerbase from all the balls drop this year, it is just fucking wow.

[@der_saftmon]

I'm seeing at least one pretty viral(like 50 upvotes, give or take) going post of D2 players switching to Warframe every 1-2 weeks on the subreddit. So yeah... Bungie's a laughing stock. And to think I wanted to start playing it at one point.

[@Icediamondsx]

That one chatter when Lud was voting Streamer of the Year... "MOUSE YOU COWARD" Had me rolling 💀💀💀

[@R3TR0J4N]

AHAHAHA I saw that 😂

[@GlacialRaven]

7:24 BG3 really does give you the DND experience

[@arstan8092]

I think Ludwig had a point on the multiplayer for bg3 would be true if it was almost any other game than bg3, but bg3 is heavily pushing on the dnd community where the multiplayer is absolutely amazing for. It is meant for people who play dnd and dnd takes along time and requires hours upon hours. So it is just perfectly targeting the community which they made it for. It is there to give the dnd experience, and it does it fantastically. So because of what the game is the multiplayer is perfect for it.

[@hendreor.m6685]

I couldnt watch people playing the game in multiplayer cause most of the people were like chaotic (example everybody goes different ways,like ,no team work except in battles)

[@arstan8092]

@@hendreor.m6685 that is kinda what i fine endearing with it. You have the freedom to work together or not and just have fun. What you are talking about that is something which is extremely dnd feel overall. People have the freedom to do their own thing. Now do I think it works great for streaming? Maybe not, but it is really fun for many others. Best multiplayer does not mean beat multiplayer to stream.

[@R3TR0J4N]

Dynamic narrative and reactivity for a multiplayer game, might be 1st ever? Or I'm wrong 🤔

[@arstan8092]

@@habama1077 I completely disagree in a sense. I agree that a lot of the people playing it are not from dnd but the people originally targeted by the game was dnd playeea, the coop was built with that In mind and is perfect for exactly that. I do not really see how they could have made a better coop for the game than what was done.

[@Skeiths]

To say that Lies of P is ugly is insane, like I get that it's not as good as Elden Ring, Bloodborne or other souls games but to say it's UGLY is just wild to me.

[@totallynotanerd9571]

twink bloodborne had some moments where i was just stunned silent with the spectacle. ive played the game to death and simon manus' grotesque transformation always gives me chills(even though he is annoying asl). nameless puppet is also pure eye candy to me with the amazing appearance and the attacks with the trail. chefs kiss.

[@Flash-FireCC]

Hi Fi Rush deserves to win an award this year. Was one of the best games to come out in early 2023 and proved that there are still games that are made with heart and soul.

[@hare75]

It really deserves to win some category but except best action cuz armored core 6

[@social_anthrax]

I played it last week and got really sad that I didn’t vote for it, it was an absolutely stellar game

[@devon1835]

I did indeed 100% every mainline Yakuza game in under a year (minus 3 but am actually in the process of getting it done)

[@chrismancini9539]

Sweet, I’ve played Zero and Kiwami in the past and have been thinking about revisiting the series, would you recommend a full series playthrough?

[@devon1835]

@@chrismancini9539 A full series playthrough? absolutely, it’s one of the best narrative experiences out there. A full 100% achievement series completion i would avoid unless you are a heavy completionist, it’s a rough journey that way lol

[@Ijustusethistocommentstuff]

Going through them all right now (Plus Ishin), and both Ishin and 3 are just complete SLOGS of games. I know there's the light at the end of the tunnel by the name of LAD, at least. Ishin's story is pretty good, but the heavy RPG mechanics basically just being a worse version of Monster Hunter's without the monsters or the hunting has dragged the ENTIRE experience down.

[@ilan_profile]

Ludwig mentioned Quackity, I can finally be happy

[@88CDawg]

0:08 That's actually a really good point.

[@hannahappa]

Ludwig be like: haven’t played it but I’ll vote for it just because Also feel like he put down Mario wonder WAY too much considering it basically revitalised 2d mario - this isn’t me saying I think it should win nor do I think it will just saying it deserves the nomination if anything

[@R3TR0J4N]

Armored Core had gameplay variety, replayability, and freedom. Thats just players choice and NG+ alone. Deserve a win

[@ez336]

AC was goty imo easily. Guess we just got the underated opinion.

[@JadonTheEternal]

not voting ff16 in music seems like a sin to me, Soken is one of the greatest video game composers rn and he never misses.

[@miirico5398]

This. While I admit the game is just decent the fucking music of that game is just mind boggling AMAZING and while I also admit some games also had amazing score FF16s are just out of this fucking world.

[@lucas_lipp]

Soken absolutely deserves avery award for FF16's soundtrack. the music is absolutely phenomenal across the board

[@benthasome]

What the heck is ff 16, sounds like some Japanese RPG with book's amount of text

[@lucas_lipp]

@@benthasome Not fully sure what you mean, but it's Final Fantasy 16. You can technically read about a lot of things, but all the cutscenes are fully acted and the gameplay is very action-y, so it's pretty different, in comparison to the classic titles.

[@benthasome]

@@lucas_lipp I still didn't know what ff16 meant, now I know, never was interested in Final Fantasy franchise, I know it's probably good, just not for me

[@julianbecker4351]

Isn't holocure still in Beta?

[@mrthicc980]

I hope they include a worst game of the year category where the winner gets slapped by Geoff Keighly for making a terrible game. Also please get rid of the esports stuff and replace it with AA game of the year, best horror game, best developer of the year, most underrated game of the year etc etc anything instead of that.

[@quosmo7721]

hi mr thicc 970. thank you for comment. unfortunately this shit wasn't funny. nothing about your comment added anything positive to my life and I think you should delete it.

[@ria57]

The eSports section brings in numbers (I think) and also where else would eSports have its moment to get an award? I don't know of any other award show that would be a good fit for covering esports

[@mrthicc980]

@@ria57 esports can make it’s own little award show for those who care

[@dz8327]

Or just add those categories instead of taking away existing ones? Bit of an extreme take there.

[@mrthicc980]

@@dz8327 That can work too, only problem is regardless of what you do people will be angry, like if they added more categories people might start to complain that it goes on for too long yk people with different timezones for example.

How TOTK is not even in "best audio design" is honestly so sad. There are plenty of videos to watch about how insane the sound design in that game is. But to give you a surface level example, how the sound of your footsteps changes based on what you are wearing

[@PotatoToon]

Game awards nominees have always been pretty sketchy, games or people that should or shouldn't be there is just to be expected. The sound design you described is also in BOTW and i think this is why it is not there.

[@shawnthomas6492]

Thats the bare minimum for sound design tho… Alan wake 2’s sound design makes u feel like there are things around you, there are twigs snapping, thunderous storms, and just heavy atmosphere and ambience. If a phone rings in the game or a knock on the door occurs, I have gotten up to check my phone or to go open the door because of how real it sounds

[@Interestking]

6:41 I'm glad to see that someone else had my same reasoning for voting City Skylines II. XD

BG3 does nothing new, but does classic rpgs so fucking well

[@EpicTacoSenpai]

technically it does. or well. brining back something that is true. and its havinga polished finished game with alot of content not being sold as an expansion. something to todays kids but something thats classic. it will change the way these game companies start shitting out actual good RPGs because they wilkl try to follow their footseps

4:23 bro. The guy who said "Ff14 didn't release an expansion this year" as a reason to say it doesn't deserve the award, like bro. Every 4 months the game gets update patches with new content, and the game even had 2 massive conventions this year in NA and EU to celebrate the game and community (JP next year too).
