The Game Awards 2019

[Mortmal]

Disco Elysium is better than ToW but I cannot support this travesty of awards.

Me neither but its not like your vote really counts anyway .
Its incredible how good the press coverage disco elysium got , something that never ever happens for any indie rpg or adventure game even artsy ones not a word anywhere let alone any award. That really help to have some oligarch backing you up .

The devs advertised for months that they are communists therefore they are on the good side of the oligarchs.

 

[Catacombs]

PR, media coverage, word of mouth chatter. The whole thing is a platform for selling ads, publicity is Keighley's operating capital.

Fuck PR and advertising.

Eventually the codex will make their top 10 - 15 must play rpgs of the year and we'll forget about this.

Speaking of which, when is that suppose to come out?

Isn't the artist's father an actor?

Only one way to find out, we have prima junta who was involved in development as he says and Kasparov a full fledged dev. Well in fact i suspect junta was the postman bringing mail to their studio and Kasparov the janitor, they were drinking some coffee together ,that's what they call being involved in Disco elysium development...

Still a strange decision, they don't even mention the expansion in the voting screen. And an expansion for an MMO is in my opinion hardly an "RPG of the year" candidate.

It has a minimum of 35 hours of content, that's full-game material-enough for me.

That is an expansion. They should have made a best dlc/expansion category,not use it as game lol.

 

[cvv]

This. They should've replaced Best Direction with Best Gameplay Design, add Best DLC/Expansion and also Best Game for Children and move all the Nintendo/anime crap there.

 

[Roguey]

It's a full game's worth of content that requires another game to play. That's not unlike Wizardry 2 and 3.

So are many expansions. It is not a fucking game!

Witcher 3 Blood and Wine won dorito award in 2016.

Half of this whole fucking shtick is compromised of esport garbage, and you argue about classification?

 

[Bigg Boss]

The main thing I take away from this thread is I need to play Sekiro.

 

[Will Zurmacht]

How many shekels did Microsoft have to pay to have Obsidian's latest dud put up for GOTY lmao.




Disco Inferno in any field it can go in, Resident Evil in the rest (nostalgia vote).

Good to know that critically and comercially successful games are called duds now.

2-deep-for-me parody post or...? The most vapid trash sells like hotcakes these days, and the more vapid it is, the more it appeals to the typical consumer. Suppose it shows Micro$oft's faith in the title that it was included in the $1 trial bundle.

And feast your peepers on some of the representative high score reviews from Metacritic:

There is no doubt The Outer Worlds is almost a masterpiece. Sure, it could use some work here and there, but it's a perfect delivery system for the hungry human imagination that longs for the stars.

The Outer Worlds is consistently compelling throughout, and it's a superb example of how to promote traditional RPG sensibilities in a sharp, modern experience.

Nothing. They just had to fill it full of checkbox characters spewing Twitter Hashtag nonsense to get their shoo-in.

 

[vortex]

The new Batman game will be revealed made by WB Montreal.

 

[Wyatt_Derp]

The new Batman game will be revealed made by WB Montreal.

Any funny guesses on what the title would be?

Forever?
Ultimate?
Dark Descent?
Final Justice?
Joker's New Last Greatest Return Revenge?
Robin's gender reassignment?
Riddler's Race?
Mr Freeze's Snow Cone Blast?
She-man?
Gotham (K)Nights?
Penguin's Keto Diet Challenge?
Catwoman and the BDSM Dungeon Battle?
Part 5?
Mad Hatter's Totally not-pedophile simulator
Dr. Arkham's sore asshole?
Bargain Bin GOTY Edition for 10 bucks?

 

[Will Zurmacht]

Best Game for Children

There is a family category which I immediately interpreted as "children's game." Funny enough all the entries were Kidtendo and weeb shit titles.

Dud means financially unsuccessful. You can think the Transformer movies were trash, but they're weren't duds. Same with Outer Worlds, which seems to be very successful both critically and commercially. It's not a dud, even if you think it's crap.

 

[Terenty]

Everything goes to Death Stranding except where Disco Elysium is.

Edit. Not including Disco Elysium in best art direction and score&music is the biggest joke of 2019

Also, Death Stranding should be nominated for best multiplayer

And where is the biggest pile of shit nomination for Outer Worlds?

 

[Jaedar]

We're just shitposting, no one really cares.

Eventually the codex will make their top 10 - 15 must play rpgs of the year and we'll forget about this.

This is so fabulously optimistic I can't even. Has there been any year with 10 must play RPGs?

I'd settle for one, but I can't even get that.

 

[Gerrard]

Ring Fit Adventure is the only game actually deserving GotY.

Did codex ever made lists? All I see are definitive polls that every codexer agree with.
