If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

I didn’t like Sekiro that much. The world design wasn’t as interesting as Souls games.

Smash, RE2 or Death Stranding should have took it.

Not as good as Dark Souls 1 maybe, but literally no videogame is.

I think Sekiro is as good or better than DS2 or DS3''s level design.

I haven’t played those since they didn’t look interesting to me but I believe you.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

Here was the best gaming tweet:

That's at least better than some of those repeated ads throughout the show.

I mean I guess that's a neat Mario Maker iteration of world 1-1 but the best gaming tweet of the year?

as a reminder of how good this year was, i don't know if any of these indie/AA games even made the VGA cut:

baba is you, judgment, pathologic 2, gato roboto, katana zero, eastshade, AI: the somnium files, river city girls, elsinore, trails of cold steel 3, hypnospace outlaw, etrian odyssey nexus, code vein, life is strange 2, operencia the stolen sun, afterparty, remnant from the ashes, concrete genie, later alligator, bloodstained, blazing chrome, my time at portia, wargroove, islanders, children of morta

i think even a couple of AAA games didn't make the cut, was the division 2 given any nominations at all

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Oh yeah, where the gently caress WAS Baba is You? THAT is actually the best indie game that came out this year. I don't even remember it in the nominations during the show? Wasn't that a game in one of the categories on the website?

LIS 2, concrete genie, wargroove, and division 2 all got a nomination somewhere

i didn't hear their names at all so they must've been awards that were not announced on the show

Pet me.
Sekiro is a great game of the year choice. Outer Worlds close second, Smash maybe coming in third.

Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.

Actually didn't play either of those, although i want to! There's so many games out there.

I can only speak for myself, so as someone who is absolutely gay for the dark souls series, Sekiro rewrote the rules in my dark souls brain, and fighting each boss for me had the same impact or hype that i would get from playing a final boss in another game.

Finally getting the hang of it was awesome and I got the same feeling i did with Dark Souls 1, where I would actually pay DLC for more content.

Personally I didn't get as hooked on Sekiro as other Souls games but I think it's cool Fromsoft won because they are the coolest dev out there and it's a great game. Death Stranding and Metro Exodus were the best of the year to me though.

It's so so good. Like, I didn't expect the remake to live up to my expectations but then a friend and I grinned like idiots through the whole thing.

Sekiro is fine and good. So is Dark Souls. I had a sad realization a while back though that nothing will be as good as Bloodborne was. It was a perfect storm of factors that'll never come together again.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

And yet it came out the same year as Witcher 3 so didnt get any awards.
