Just a friendly reminder that The Last of Us II won "Game of the Year" a few years ago in 2020; a game that EVERYONE hated, even the woke (they said it was too dark and violent) that nobody even talked about three months after it was released. Ghost of Tsushima came out that same year. This year, Hogwarts Legacy got completely snubbed just because it was loosely associated to JK Rowling, even though most people enjoyed it across the board and it had massive sales numbers (even if I and others like me never played it.) Yet a game that was released broken three years ago and still never managed to live up to expectations, Cyberpunk, can get a nomination. If anyone thinks the Game Awards aren't as corrupt and f*cked-up as the rest of the modern games industry, then you're 100% part of the problem.

The game eventually releases and it's honestly one of the most boring games I've played recently. You can feel that pieces are missing and that they cobbled what little they had together to recoup some of the costs. So be warned about whatever this new thing she's selling appears to be...

For instance, she created the Safehead enemy for The Evil Within, which is arguably among the most iconic enemies in video games.

[@lordphill807]

Makes me think about when people post a pic of the biggest releases of a recent year and say how insanely good that year was. Meanwhile in that same picture, that years best offerings are a few good-great games at most, with maybe the occasional masterpiece. Few if any of those games will be remembered in the years to come. It's honestly dumbfounding how the people posting these images have zero memory of past eras. Just about the entire late 90s-2000s pumped out an absurd number of greats and classics with lasting legacies. When current year comes along with a couple good-great games, normies act like it's an unprecedented event and the greatest ever year in gaming.

It's bad enough that games are becoming so "kiddie", like they're actively being made for a) kids, b) nintendo spergs wanting to relive their childhood. Personally, I think the worst thing about the game awards (and most award shows in general), is that they're trying to make it comprehensive to the entire industry. Let's be real, the people who play FF7 likely don't give two shits about Forza, and the people who are creaming over Fortnite Lego aren't interested in Path of Exile 2. All this results in is people caring about the 1% of the game awards that caters to the things they enjoy, and ignoring the rest. Some of these fandoms just have so little overlap with any others that it makes these shows a complete joke to almost everyone watching. Nobody I know watched the awards.

I have watched Neil's gaming streams. He comes across as a lovely, empathic guy. He really does care about the fans. I thought his speech was a tad cringe, but I think his heart is in the right place. Also, didn't you know Synth, according to the ads here, there are zero white people in England.

[@GeraltofRivia22]

For minute I thought you meant Neil Druckman and I was so confused.

[@FoxyFoxlyn]

@@GeraltofRivia22 Oh lol, god no. Can't stand that cuck. I mean Neil Newbon, the voice actor of Astarion who won. Amazing performance. Best way to see his story, is to romance him as a redemption dark urge. Was a fantastic dynamic. There is a scene on his personal quest in act 3, his performance was amazing. He said they did it one take. But then again, he is a thespian, like Alan Rickman was.

[@Thedownliner2015]

Fully agree. Every 'World Premiere' was basically a cutscene with no gameplay and every award category and how it was presented was a joke. Like Hollywood, TGA are now just a corporate event to shill more crap and push more hype. And the biggest kick in the teeth to the gamers they were trying to appeal to? They blocked Hogwarts Legacy from being nominated for anything because of their Politics!

[@KratostheThird]

It’s because of JK Rowling. She was a seething leftist 10 - 20 years ago, now she supposedly some right wing conservative that modern day leftists despise. It’s just pathetic.

[@krasmasov6852]

@@KratostheThird She was never a leftist. She was always a liberal who has recently migrated right after embracing her bigotry more and more. Her work demonstrates her liberalism, though, in that it's actively anti-leftist. It's why Harry Potter is such shit. God forbid changing the status quo that led to the rise of Voldemort in the first place. No, reinstate the ministry of magic that enslaves elves and discriminates against goblins. The dysfunctional ministry that made it easy for a fascist to gather followers who were rightfully upset at the powers at be. HP is liberal trash.

For real though, deaf people love music just as much as everyone else. I know you're just joking but there are actually people out there who think not being able to hear properly stops you enjoying 120db of bass.

I don't understand why they don't wait until like march of the next year to do a yearly award thing so you get all the games that came out in that year. How can you do a 2023 game award show when the year isn't even over yet or you can't include some games because they came out past september that year? Also: e-sports killed gaming. Worst thing to happen to gaming in the history of gaming.

[@mrshmuga9]

Because it was never about the awards or honouring the industry first. That was just an excuse for creating it. The reason they air the show in December is so publishers can advertise sales for Christmas shopping. And having a game on sale that won an award might draw people in even more.

[@Shieftain]

I'm not really a multiplayer guy, and even then I don't think cring-e-sports is THE worst thing to happen to games (it's up there though). The worst thing to happen IMO would be the prevalence of the druckmann types (which really took off in the past decade ever since the release of tlou1), much like their prevalence in other forms of media IYKWIM.
