Owlcat must be seething that they were snubbed for that lineup. Two Bandai Namco mediocrities but not them.
My negative assessment of Deathloop came when I saw a gameplay video showcasing its extremely awful AI.

What?
Eighteen perfect scores. There's no way that is remotely true. Presstitutes know that we know that they don't play these games they shill, so what else are their lies for than to conceal? What are they hiding? A bad game. Its not as if one can trust codex, either. There are shills for trash games here, like apparently nuArkane can count on Alexander DeLarge.
I know zero about this game and see a ton of hype around it. Is it a game made by and for black people?
Ah yes, the very niche developer known as Nintendo.
Metroidvanias have made a huge comeback. I don't think Metroid or Castlevania are "niche" titles, at all. And beyond that, this is a (shitty) awards show to showcase which game is best in class, not which one is the most normie-appealing.
It's old school console in its premise i.e. you have to kill a number of people and have a limited number of lives to do it; if you lose your lives, you start over. Time passes whenever you load another area and if you don't kill everyone you're required to within the time limit, you start over. No quicksaving or loading to a previous save (unless you're manually backing them up). In order to make casuals/normies/journos not rage quit over this, there's only one difficulty level and most enemies are brain dead (see video posted, though they have allegedly improved it) so it is not old school console at all when it comes to difficulty. The main character is a black guy because Black Panther made a billion dollars, proving that predominantly white audiences won't avoid something just because it has a black main character. Journos like it for these reasons.
Not exactly fair bc many of those user reviews are low bc of technical issues, framerate and, of course Denuvo. Much like on Steam.
While it's a "Hype Award" you'd expect to see weird experimental titles in there. No, have a bunch of big name sequels.
