Why is FF XIV nominated - for best RPG even? That game has been released (half) a decade ago and is an MMO.

They released an expansion earlier this year.

 

[vortex]

Possible new announcements:
Bioshock 4
Ken Levine's new game
Fable 4

Elden Ring reveal

That expansion also happens to be the best single player (trials need other people, you can solo everything else) Final Fantasy in eighteen years or whatever. Not even just for an MMO, but for a game, the story in the expansions has been really good.
Sadly, that's all FFXIV has going for it. I'd enjoy it a lot more if they'd drop the MMO façade.

Also the Arkane founders have a new studio and are planning a reveal of their first game. Could be interesting.

 

[Xeon]

I kinda thought the Fable games belong to Microsoft or something, so would have been the ones to reveal it in the XBOX show they did.

This isn't anime for you:

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.

There's an award for the best gaming tweet of the year

 

[whydoibother]

Where's the poll? I want to vote here, and we can compare the Codex results with the actual results.

 

[Xeon]

Just read that voting barely has any influence on results which is kinda funny.

Winners are decided by a blended vote between the jury (90 percent) and the public (10 percent).

Then why fucking bother asking people to vote?

 

[Viata]

To prove gamers are a bunch of retards.

Then why fucking bother asking people to vote?

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

 

[sullynathan]

Just remember that Kojima is on the Jury of the award show where his game has the majority of nominations.

 

[karoliner]

This shit is more rigged than the elections in an african country.

After Doritosgate he came to the correct conclusion, that gamers are so gullible, that it's easier and more lucrative to be openly corrupt than trying to hide it. Kudos to him, he made his show a fixture in the gaming industry and on the Codex.

 

[cvv]

It's not even about open corruption, more like pretending events like that matter. As if the result wasn't completely and utterly irrelevant.

There is no such thing as "the best game", I'm not even sure there's such a thing as "a good game". There are only games that I personally like and those I don't give a shit about. And no award is going to help me decide which is which.

It's a copy of what other creative industries (music, film) do.

But this is:

Everything made in Japan that I don't like is anime
Everything made in Japan that I like is not

Depends on the industry. For example there are some awards for cars based on measurable criteria, like value for money or breakdown rate. Or the ESA best electronic products of a year awards are fairly good guide if you want to buy a quality TV or a sound system. But yeah, in most cases it's mainly about creating a hubbub and then using it to sell ads, especially when it's accompanied by a big, flashy, live event ceremony.

 

[sullynathan]

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.
