Spider-Man 2 Fans Upset After It Won Nothing at The Game Awards Despite 7 Nominations - IGN

Fans have taken to social media to vent their surprise and frustration after Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 failed to net a single win at The Game Awards 2023 live show, despite being nominated in seven categories.

What went wrong??

 

[Esppiral]

There were better games that's what happened.

 

[analog_future]

After all the hype of "Starfield vs Spider-Man 2", it's kind of amusing that neither of them made much of an impact in pushing the industry forward.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

It was only okay in a year full of bangers.

 

[mansoor1980]

it didnt need to

 

[cireza]

Wasn't there a Best DLC Award ?

This is a joke.

 

[R3TRO]

Cause it was overrated repetitive garbage.

 

[Markio128]

A lot of great games didn’t receive an award.

 

[FoxMcChief]

It was only okay in a year full of bangers.

This. Sony had a bad year, in terms of software releases. Hopefully next year is better.

 

[AJUMP23]

Too many Mary Jane missions.

 

[Mister Wolf]

It's nothing special from a visual, musical, or narrative standpoint. Insomniac are the McDonalds of Sony's developers.

 

[RoboFu]

Well it wasn’t that great

But it’s good enough just nothing exceptional.

Plus you can’t take these awards that seriously.

 

[LakeOf9]

I mean, it was a crazy competitive year. Resident Evil 4 won nothing. Tears of the Kingdom won only one award.

It happens.

It was still a great game.

Except one sold 5 million units in 11 days and was nominated 7 times.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I'm pretty sure this is the first time Sony didn't win an award since like 2017 or something. It was a good run.

 

[Zones]

And the 96 MC Zelda game only got 1 award in total.

So my question to OP, what's your point?

P.S. Topic purpose in a nutshell...

 

[DrFigs]

it was that great, there were just better games

 

[T_T]

>What went wrong??
Is this a 4chan bait thread?

 

[analog_future]

Except one sold 5 million units in 11 days and was nominated 7 times.

ok? Still did nothing to raise the bar.

 

[BennyBlanco]

People turned on spiderman 2 even faster than they did ragnarok.

 

[NickFire]

It didn't have enough loading screens.

 

[YCoCg]

I mean, it was a crazy competitive year. Resident Evil 4 won nothing. Tears of the Kingdom won only one award.

It happens.

It was still a great game.

And amazingly, Cyberpunk 2077 won an award!

 

[Dazraell]

This may be just me but I was really disappointed in Spider-Man 2. They really nailed some things like refining the combat, but it had so many things I found as boring, annoying or outright frustrating. It felt like a safe sequel that didn't really did too much to fresh things up, reused about half of the map from the first game, had a really boring story and weak writing, absolutely awful MJ missions, and completely missed the mark in utilising the potential of its main villains

I don't think it's a bad game or anything like that. But just mediocre

 

[Draugoth]

The game is a carbon copy of the original that doesnt innovate in anything like the predecessor.

 

[mckmas8808]

ok? Still did nothing to raise the bar.

But what if the bar is already raised to a high level and a game keeps it at that level?

 

[shaddam]

Atleast it was nominated. Not like Hogwarts Legacy

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Still recovering from Starfield eh

 

[Punished Miku]

I was most shocked it didn't take Best Narrative.

 

[tmlDan]

why is there a thread for this, who's gonna make the Starfield failed to win an award let alone get nominated at the game awards.

It was an extremely competitive year, no shame in not winning.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

What went wrong??

is coffee good for you?

 

[DForce]

After all the hype of "Starfield vs Spider-Man 2", it's kind of amusing that neither of them made much of an impact in pushing the industry forward.

Spider-Man 2 was hyped as a good game.

Starifled was hyped as one of the best games ever, a generational defining game.

What's amusing is that Starfield didn't live up to hype and most reasonable Sony fans didn't expect Spider-Man to win over BG3.

Starfield just got a "guy hates game" thread. It's one of the most popular games on these forums.

we need to stop doing that

 

[geary]

This is a joke.

Even if it was one, CP2077 would have grabbed it

 

[The Cockatrice]

It has my vote so who cares what others think? Why do you care OP? Enjoy your games stop worrying about corporations. They dont give a shit about you either.

 

[Calverz]

And the 96 MC Zelda game only got 1 award in total.

So my question to OP, what's your point?

P.S. Topic purpose in a nutshell...

I didn’t write the article and couldn’t find a thread on it. Stop crying.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

It was a good game, but there really wasn't any category that it deserved to win over whatever game won.

I'm sure this is a very good faith thread and the commentary in here will be reasonable though.

 

[Elios83]

Lol desperate console war thread

 

[Calverz]

Still recovering from Starfield eh

Better luck next time eh

 

[Gambit2483]

A lot of great games didn’t receive an award.

Yea, very true. That's generally what happens when two games practically sweep the entire awards.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Better luck next time eh

 

[sendit]

Not surprised. However, a GOTY nomination isn't anything to shrug off. Baldurs Gate 3 is just too good.

 

[Zones]

I didn’t write the article and couldn’t find a thread on it. Stop crying.

 

[Fake]

They need more MJ sections next time.
