Well he's already throwing his hands in the air with OD. "Fuck, I don't know. It'll probably be shit. Leave me alone." I'm paraphrasing there but that's the gist.

Physnit or whatever the fuck it's called sounds like his attempt to tap into Metal Gear because people won't stop asking him about it. Will likely be his best project since MGS3.
 
Just big competition. Guy makes what he wants, theres not a bigger flex in industry than that. He knew how people felt about DS and he just doubled down. Let him sweep nezt time with Physint

A lot of hate here for Kojima, but i don't think they are as successful at their jobs as Kojima is in his.

No award means nothing for me, i know i had fun playing the game for 162 hours and i hope for more eccentric and different games from Kojima and other developers.
We bitch about GaaS and Fortnite / CoD / whatever clones and then we bitch about fresh ideas.
 
I think DS2 deserves two awards. Best action adventure which is strange that went to silksong and for best director which went to ex33 director. I think Ds2 not being a commercial success really hurts thoae chances to win those awards. Both silksong and ex33 sales are much better than DS2.

Doom Dark Ages won more awards than Kojima and Ghost of Yotei

I'm more annoyed by this. Dark Ages winning any awards against any decent game this year is bullshit. And I fucking loved all doom games except for Doom 3. In regards to DS2 and Yotei, they do borrow alot from the previous game, but they still better than most Sony's sequels. Award winning material? I dunno, but sure as hell better than Dark Ages. This is like Diablo 4 winning awards the year it came out.

Assassin's Creed Shadows

EA Sports FC 26

While I'm not surprised Expedition 33 swept every category, I do feel that DS2 should have won Best Game Direction. I think Kojima did a better job tying the unique world and gameplay elements together into a more cohesive experience, which is what the award is supposed to be for.

I felt that is the one place DS2 was actually better than E33. But when there's a darling game that is winning everything, it's easy to understand how DS2 could be overlooked for a nuanced category.
 
Kojima is making games to be recognized as a great movie director.

GOTY games are made for people actually playing video games.

Even without E33, there were far better games released this year.

Death Stranding games are impressive in their artistic direction but they are very fragile as a video game product.

Have my hopes up for Physint though !

Death Stranding 2 flopped so badly in sales, both Sony and Kojima production are so ashamed to disclose the sales numbers because of that.

One of the main factor that judges look into. Commercial success. Ds2 is not commercial success. Maybe just 2 mil? Or 3 mil is being too generous.

Considering the only games like DS2 is DS1 and its still in contention for game of the year says alot about the man's vision and his teams talent.

The rest of the games were just reskins of things prior.

Even KCD2 which I think is slowly becoming my GotY is just a much better made Bethesda game.

Unfortunately hes one of the last true auteurs from the old guard of gaming putting anything of merit out anymore.. youll miss it when he resigns and we are left with the stagnant putrid garbage that gaming currently is.
 
Death Stranding is pretentious crap designed with the sole purpose of winning these silly awards, so to see it snubbed in every category is satisfying.

MGS3 is my favourite game of all time but the man needs to go back to his roots. He's had way too much smoke blown up his ass.

OD has always been a troubled project, at first a cloud game for stadia only then to essentially be "cancelled" then MS got it to he cloud game for MS, and then its shifted seemingly to a regular horror game then shifted again to an anthology project with different directors.

I think he has known the writing is on the wall for that project, hes just enjoying the MS money while he can

Comments like this tell me that no one actually plays DS2.

Because anyone who played the shirtless bro final boss battle playing rock guitars in a street fighter showdown would know the game is anything but pretentious 🤣

I liked DS2, but it was meh compared to the other nominees. Played E33 and hated it, but it's still better. Even Silksong, that frustrating POS game is better. DS2 is wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle. It's unique and memorable, that's about it.

I played the first one for 5 hours then get bored. That's my cutoff point, if any game "gets good after 10/20/30 hours" then it's not a good game. The second is much of the same according to this forum.

And it is absolutely pretentious. Pro globalism nonsense that Americans are too dumb to understand according to the man himself.

If you fill your cast with Hollywood actors, you're only fishing for awards. There are loads of talented actors within the industry who could've done a better job. Had anyone heard of Roger Clark or Rob Wiethoff before Red Dead Redemption?

Never coming back to LA where he's friends with the host, a host who has a good skill at making connections and has a good bridge to big name actors?

People here are too focused on the awards when they should be asking if Jeffrey Wright, Milla Jovovich, Gemma Chan, and Jason Momoa are going to show up in his next game.
 
Still my GOTY, but I haven't got around to E33 yet, and I rarely concur with critics or the mass-market!

Even before GTA6 was delayed to 2026, he risked it anywqy and he lost. Not to GTA6 though but I guess he secretly knew he can't win this.
 
The guy could hide himself in a basement of an abandoned office building on one of the moons of Jupiter and still there would be people making threads to downplay him. Sad, silly but inevitable.
 
To me, he's one of those game directors who needs a publisher to reel them in a bit for financial success. He's clearly very talented and could make another action focused open world MGS that wins a goty. But I think he prefers going a bit more obscur (pun intended)

I love Death Stranding and it should have been GOTY 2019.

But his issue is that his eccentricities are no longer novel, and GOTY leans heavily into surprise success or quality.

E33, Astro Bot, BG3, and many more winners were surprising in their existence, success, or quality.

Kojima would need to make a non-Kojima style game to win, really.

E33 is a good fresh idea, DS is not. We already had better walking simulators and construction games. Subnautica is better in every way except for the graphics.

I won't argue that E33 is a good game that deserved the award, but if DS is not fresh, then E33 is one more turn based RPG in a pile of hundreds out there.

Whatever makes E33 fresh in its genre, DS has ten times more reasons from a quality point of view to be fresh in it's own.

good luck trying to convince... there are people unironically (at least it seems that way) calling DS a walking simulator, saying it has no gameplay

Why are you people running a cult about this person, why are you obsessed with him, why would you feel empathy for someone who wouldn't even waste a thought about and not give a shit about whatever happens to you? :pie_diana:

The "gameplay" begins closer to the middle of the game with base raiding and is an extremely poor alpha version of MGS5. All the freshness of DS — "an indie game with an AAA budget for graphics".
