Meh, but Veilguard being nominated for best narrative is where the real joke lies.

Meh, I'd chalk that up to dry British humour. Like, "you call this narrative?"

(Yes, I did play it. I kinda wish I hadn't, because it ruined any little hope I have for the series.)

He's implying that because it's a British Award show that a British studio MUST win something, which is odd because Thank Goodness You're Here also won something so surely that should've covered the "DEI" :messenger_winking_tongue:

Oh good grief. lol...thanks for the explanation.
 
Astro is GOTY, but man do I happy for Still Wakes the Deep. TCRs storytelling talent is so under appreciated

Hop on board the fun train

But seriously, where's our hard mode? I will play this game from start to finish again if I get a hard mode
 
It was the best game I played last year. Platformers like this and Mario Odyssey make you feel like a kid on Christmas day again playing an N64 for the first time. You can't put a price on that.
