Best Soundtrack Category is a disgrace, you can tell most people just put their fave game in every category so pretty much most of the awards are GOW/Elden Ring/etc.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Ultimately I do think the Elden Ring and God of War nominations for most of those categories are justified. But if you then want to complain about The Game Awards or something you’re a fucking hypocrite. The GOTY nominees are just about the same.

I mean they both are masterclass in terms of music and audio

I've said it before, HFW's sound design get's overshadowed by its top tier graphics.

Highly underrated all the mechanical and synthy sounds, especially the music changes when it battle with machines and the synth samples thrown in it. Some of the best battle music I've heard in a game.

4pm est. you guys take longer to tally votes than Arizona.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

One more day...this is exciting. Sad to signalis miss most of the awards, but I'm rooting heavy for High on life and vamp survivor in their categories outside of GOTY. Would have liked to see immortality instead of HFW... but that game was very niche in a public voting system.

How is Cyberpunk nominated for anything in 2022? That shitshow came out in 2020, no?

Who will win the elden ring of the year award?

Biggest ER cuck of the year?

I'd vote for Horizon Forbidden West.

I voted HOL on this one.

I voted HOL on this one.

I voted Vampire Survivors. By the time you're done with the first hour, you know you'll be playing it another 30 (at least).

Who buys these games and not play them? How the absolute fuck?

I got a PS5 physical copy of Horizon Forbidden West from Gamefly for like $25 over black friday, and haven't got around to starting it yet. So... I guess I'm part of the problem.

If you aren't buried in a game, give it a shot. Great game.

My thoughts too - I think Stray is the shortest game here (at 6+ hours), but I know Vampire Survivors and Elden Ring are both like 60-100 affairs.

Still on Horizon 1

 

[jshackles]

God of War lol. Never change GAF

 

[Wunray]

Doesn't GOW:R have forced walking sections?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Oh elden ring deserves a sequel? Lol you think FROM is just going to let the IP die even though there's been critical acclaim and gangbusters sales?! Y'all suck who voted for this.

 

[Dick Jones]

Still on Horizon 1

[Punished Miku]

I voted Tunic

 

[Saber]

I'm actually impressed Cuphead is on 4th place. It should be higher, those new bosses are hard as fuck.

 

[AJUMP23]

Ragnarök makes you run around in these terrible Atreus sections. Especially the one though jodenhiem. Ride the yak, feed the yak, collect the fruit, listen to my dumb story. Please let me skip this.

I like these choices. There are a lot of ways that developers can respect your time

 

[Dick Jones]

Nice to see FF get some love. Underneath all the Chaos memes it's a solid game

 

[-Zelda-]

Yeah this is going in the direction I figured it would. Ciao!

I'd love to hear an explanation on that one

What direction did you want it to go.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This one tripped me out because I personally felt like Ragnarok made me wait & watch more than actually play throughout the entire experience.

Some games offer a ton of content with not a lot of filler, providing good value for the money. Some games are brief but budget priced or included with a subscription, allowing you to experience them without overstaying their welcome. Some games only take a little while to sit down and play each time, but have a surprising amount of replay value. All of these respect the player's time in their own way.

I think it was supposed to mean it doesn't waste your time with filler or grinding. There is a best value category. Oh well
