After looking at the GOTY nominees list I realized that this was kind of a poo poo year for games. Overwatch is cool I guess :shrug:

There were tons of amazing games this year. They just aren't part of this stupid show.

I genuinely don't get why people are slobbering over Kojima so much now.

He's a cool dude but people are fanatics about him right now even though his game have always been deeply flawed due to his own personal "touch".

Is this an awards show or a trailer show?

Its advertising disguised as an award show.

It turns out even when he can make whatever he wants Kojima is still making a game about PMCs and the future of warfare.

This is about as low as the bar can be set.

Don't get me wrong, Overwatch is a pretty good game you can pick up and play, and it feels satisfying when things go your way, BUT


The hero rhetoric? It's a competitive game.

Seriously it annoys me that Blizzard is acting like Overwatch has some amazing heroic narrative when it couldn't be further from it. There's nothing heroic about what you do in Overwatch. You just shoot other people to accomplish some vague, pointless goal. All the story in the shorts is completely disconnected from the game itself. There's no good integration of story and gameplay, which is what a game should strive for.

Overall I think the funniest part of the night was watching the incredibly awkward verbal blow job the announcer gave Kojima.

or games could just be fun

Of course. Overwatch was fun for awhile too. Blizzard acting like its any more than a silly shooting game is the problem.
