Gonna try to start the Crown Tundra today.

I’m betting Animal Crossing Takes Game of The Year.

-Game Breaking sales that continue to dominate every other game on that list

-Massively popular franchise and genre.

-Appeals to everyone

-Hours of content built in with lots of freedom of expression.

-Solid free add one that truly enhance the experience.

-Greatly innovates the franchise it’s from and arguably the genre.

-Beloved by Many with thousands of people pouring thousands of hours into it.

-Gave people the lives they didn’t have this year

-Bought everyone together.

Feels pretty likely that it could take it as no game can define this year better then NH imo.

If that happens, how well do you think TLOU fans will take it? I'm only mildly scared about the prospect.

Honestly, people who hate TLOU2 aren't any more mature about it so either way won't make much difference.

So Age of Calamity spoilers are out and I'm kind of bummed out about it.

Spoiler

Apparently the game has a sad "ending" early on, but then BB-Egg goes back in time again and creates another new timeline with a happy ending.

I kind of expected the creators to chicken out and give us a happy ending even before we knew Time Travel was going to get involved, but I'm really disappointed. But what upsets me the most is that I feel like it really undermines the tragic undertones of BotW if you go "Never mind all that! Here's an alternate timeline where everyone lives!"

It's okay for a story to have a sad ending. Just leave a glimmer of hope so it's not all too bleak. A final stage where Zelda goes to seal away the Calamity on her own would have been a perfect way to end things but alas everyone must live.

It’s been four years since my second favorite Pokémon games, Sun & Moon came out.

Four years

I hate time, y’all.

FOUR YEARS?

Dang, it felt like only two years ago that I purchased Sun and Moon.

 

[KillerCage]

Wait, Personal 5 Royal is a nominee for "Best RPG" but not Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition?! What in the *ing * is this *ing *?

...

Spoiler

HOW DID I MISS THAT!?

I! AM! AN! IDIOT! BOX!

 

[Z25]

No idea, I never was really interested by that franchise and their fanbase seems kinda of toxic. At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter what they think when they aren’t the ones deciding the result.

 

[Deleted member]

I haven't played TLOU II, but the whole discourse and how harsh the workers were treated really distanced me from the game.

 

[KillerCage]

Lets be honest; The Last Of Us (Part 1) is overrated (great story, mediocre gameplay).

Feeling old there, buddy?

 

[BlondeLombax]

Ironically, I've heard that the second game goes in the complete opposite direction; solid gameplay, but a story that... y'know, I think I'll keep mum on that bit.
That said, I've never played the franchise myself, so I doubt I'm legally allowed here.

 

[Noipoi]

Who would win game of the year?

A six hundred gazillion dollar epic with photo-realistic graphics, an intricate and deep storyline and heart pounding gameplay?

or

haha aminals go brrrr

 

[Deleted member]

Is Devil May Cry based on Dante's Inferno?

 

[Noipoi]

Take me back, dog. I wanna be 14 again.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Only voting for Ori and the Will of the Wisps because that's the only game in the entire thing I have played.

And I don't follow esports.

Man, I was in my last year of high school at that point! One of my favorite memories with Sun was letting some girl in my Creative Writing class pet one of my Pikachu in Pokémon Refresh after I noticed she was distressed. I dunno how much it helped, but it was still a tender little moment regardless.

I wouldn't call that overrated, considering how most fans are pretty aware and honest about gameplay's shortcomings. If anything, it says a lot about the storytelling of the game, seeing how it basically carries most of the experience.

Personally, I think good writing can make up for subpar (and occasionally, bad) gameplay, even though it's not a popular opinion by any means lol.

Here, take this:

Cat 1 wants to play with strings.

My sweatpants have drawstrings.

Needless to say, one of us is having more fun.

Here goes another 10 years of Zelda timeline crafting.

Also, did the legit, actually split the timeline? The one game where all three timelines converhed into? That's... odd.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I love how dynamic the Belcher family is. Favorite character atm is either Bob, Tina, or Louise. It's a tight race.

 

[TheMightyP]

You're telling me Xenoblade and Origami King didn't get nominated for best soundtrack, but TLOU2 did.

Ok.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

You're telling me Xenoblade nor Origami King got nominated for best soundtrack, but TLOU2 did.

Ok.

Its obvious these folks are too blinded by the amazing cinematic graphics to not notice the awful story that bad fanfiction in the form of a game sequel had and the fact it has TLoU in its title.

Man, it is annoying how there is always this bias in The Game Awards.

For 2018, it was Red Dead Redemption 2.
For 2019, it was Death Stranding.
For 2020, its TLOU 2 for sure.

 

[Deleted member]

It's Karamelle time

 

[PeridotGX]

I haven't beat a game that released this year (I've only even done one from the past few years).

Mario Galaxy is probably my GoTY

Didn't Death Stranding lose like every award though

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, it wasn't as biased as Red Dead Redemption 2. I think it won once. But it was still nominated a lot.

I'm aware about the news about Capcom being hacked by ransomware which really sucks, but it seems like there is another game being leaked:

Spoiler

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Highly predict they will unveil Street Fighter VI at the end of next year.

I like how they circumvent the “goofy husband, attractive wife” cliche that’s so prevalent in cartoons by making both Bob and Linda equally goofy.

Bob and Linda are made for each other.

I also didn't like Linda at first, but she's growing on me.

Which leaves Gene... still not sure how to feel about him.

I hope that they learned their lesson with SFV and don't release it with several key features missing and a bare bones character roster.
