imagine spending 80 Billions to get validation in the industry and no one gives a shit about you

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Should win this year

And next year has DS2 and GoY

[Klosshufvud]

Yes yes that's impressive, but what's even more impressive is the fact that From Software being a single studio seems to dominate the GOTY lists year after year after year. Sony has dozens of studios under its belt. From Software is just one or two dev teams.

 

[bender]

It wouldn't be my pick as it lacks replay value but it was a fun ride while it lasted and brought back so many fond memories of Sony's past. I'll allow it.

 

[TintoConCasera]

TGA was over the moment TW3 won over Bloodborne.

 

[tommib]

What a sad list of games when you put them all together like that.

 

[jm89]

Another one

 

[ap_puff]

The fact that Returnal was never nominated is a travesty

 

[bender]

What a sad list of games when you put them all together like that.

For popular games, going by my own interest metrics, 30% (Bloodborne, Death Stranding, AstroBot) is higher than what I'm used to.

 

[Hrk69]

 

[Senua]

Another one

Surprised Nintendo is so low

Should win this year

And next year has DS2 and GoY

There's a rumour that a DLC is going to win, weirdly.

 

[Buggy Loop]

And next year has DS2

DS1 is the biggest sleeping aid I have ever bought. Still installed in case I have insomnia.

 

[Hookshot]

Wannabe Oscars gives most nominations to wannabe film company.

I'd put money on Metaphor as I think the love of From and FF7 might work against each other.

You can like it now that it’s on Xbox and not pretend to hate it. Join Mattyp, Dench, and Adam’s Apple

 

[Hookshot]

What did they have this year? Some remakes and b tier stuff.

 

[Gaiff]

There's a rumour that a DLC is going to win, weirdly.

They altered the rules just for that. Watch them change them back next year.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

There's a rumour that a DLC is going to win, weirdly.

I don’t see it happening. ER won GOTY two years ago and Erdtree isn’t really doing anything new enough to justify it as a GOTY

It’s just a shorter, less interesting version of the base game

 

[Buggy Loop]

? I don't have an xbox

 

[Senua]

Death Stranding was a unique and awesome game, it didn't click with me at first either so maybe give it another go. It's one of my favourite games of the last few years

 

[bender]

Echoes of Wisdom is fantastic and I thought all the previews of that game looked dull as dishwater.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

These are always fun. You clearly care since you came to this thread, mirror in hand, to see in the reflection just how bunched your panties are.

No surprise. In this regard, only Nintendo competes/wins most of the time.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

? I don't have an xbox

Yes you do, you just don’t know it

 

[Senua]

Poor James is going senile, he means well

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yes you do, you just don’t know it

We all rats now. Thanks Phil.

 

[Bloody Crow of Cainhurst]

Wannabe Oscars gives most nominations to wannabe film company.

Which "movie games" did Sony put out this year? Or could you simply not resist shitting up this thread?

 

[NeverYouMind]

With the exception of FromSoft's Bloodborne the games made prior are much better.

 

[BigLee74]

Wow first comment

So you’re the self-appointed therapist for anyone with an opinion? Must be exhausting to read so deeply into things when it’s really not that deep

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Meanwhile another well known publisher hasn't been nominated even once

 

[HeWhoWalks]

No, I just like to point and laugh at the dolphins who swim in their own bullshit and play dumb when called out.

You clearly care, or you wouldn’t be in here.

I never understood that sentiment. You can not like the results, but don't say nobody cares when you obviously do.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Yes you do, you just don’t know it

I'm sure I should be hyped for Kojima fever dreams of being a purolator delivery man with the most vomit inducing story script he could muster because he's a fucking hack

Its really just the hate on Sony... that made me buy it at launch on PC with my cash, just to end up not liking it... because Sony. Such a big brain move there. Everyone is against Sony right James?

Death Stranding was a unique and awesome game, it didn't click with me at first either so maybe give it another go. It's one of my favourite games of the last few years

Every time I tried it, I just feel like the game is not respecting my time. I immediately think I could be playing many other games in my backlog that will satisfy me better with the little time I can put into an evening for a game since I have 3 kids and its hectic.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

I never understood that sentiment. You can not like the results, but don't say nobody cares when you obviously do.

Exactly. Then he’ll be one of the first ones crying that this place is a hivemind when he could have just out of the thread to begin with.

 

[midnightAI]

Yes yes that's impressive, but what's even more impressive is the fact that From Software being a single studio seems to dominate the GOTY lists year after year after year. Sony has dozens of studios under its belt. From Software is just one or two dev teams.

And doing it with the same game

 

[Hrk69]

No, I just like to point and laugh at the dolphins who swim in their own bullshit and play dumb when called out.

From self-appointed therapist to the self-proclaimed dolphin whisperer now? Impressive.

I’ll keep ‘playing dumb’ if it means dodging whatever highbrow wisdom you think you are offering

 

[ToadMan]

I thought its ironic they called Sony a wannabe film company, when Sony is very much being a film company, nothing wannabe about it.

It didn't occur to me this was yet another tired swipe at cinematic games lol

The same game with different templates isn't the flex you think it is. Neither being nominated for DLC lmao.

 

[NeverYouMind]

He does standup comedy?

 

[Klosshufvud]

As if Sony AAA titles haven't been different flavors of TLOU for the longest now. Including the game in your avatar, which was sadly butchered from its origins to appease to a more drama oriented audience.

[Hookshot]

Did you read the OP or just the title? Astro bot tried something different* but absolutely failed to make any impact with Sony console owners.



*For Sony, it's a blatant rip off of 20 year old Mario games.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Man, Sony wracking up so many World Records in 2024.

Most amount of consecutive awards and shortest life span of a AAA game that spent 8 years in development and hundreds of millions of dollars.

Concord fell so Astrobot could soar. Maybe. I don't know.

 

[Sanepar]

That is the diff xbox fanboys can't understand.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Damn, Spider-Man, GT7, Astrobot, Helldivers II, Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Horizon!

All different flavors of TLOU folks! Whodathunkit!!
