Veilguard LOL

 

[drganon]

Game journos desperately trying to pump up veilguard.

 

[Fake]

The joke that keeps happening. Modern journalism at the peak.

 

[killatopak]

Infinity Nikki really THAT good? I’m actually very interested in it. I’m just turned off by the gacha/mtx.

Anybody play it here? I want some impressions.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

Veilguard GOTY.

 

[adamsapple]

• Infinity Nikki

Damn, they really did do Stellar Blade dirty, lol.

 

[Saber]

Let me guess, Veilgard will win this contest because IGN soycucks couldn't handle it not being at GotY.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I clicked on an IGN thread title. I feel so dirty.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Damn, they really did do Stellar Blade dirty, lol.

They gave a 9 to Infinity Nikki and a 7 to Stellar Blade, so I suppose it makes sense for one to be included in this GOTY list and not the other.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Veilguard LOL

Check cleared.

Yeah I was directly winking at the GAF topic someone made for that comparison lol

Ah, lol. I missed that one.

 

[Deft Beck]

Infinity Nikki came out less than a week ago and it's a GOTY candidate?

 

[Banjo64]

Veilguard.

It's pretty chill although I'm not super far into it. GOTY seems like a real stretch though.

 

[Thief1987]

It must be pretty discouraging for the devs of these games to end up in the company of garbage like veilguard.

GAFs hate boner for Veilguard is amusing and almost as silly as Era's hateboner for Hogwarts Legacy

Silly comparison.

 

[Arsic]

GAFs hate boner for Veilguard is amusing and almost as silly as Era's hateboner for Hogwarts Legacy

Both are mid games lol.

 

[Hrk69]

Veilguard but no Yakuza?

(yes, I'm going to bring up Yakuza every time)

 

[drganon]

The difference is that the nutcases on era want to ruin lives over hogwarts. Gaffers just think veilguard sucks and isn't worthy of being in goty conversations.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

The same IGN who unanimously stated that Xbox was having a better year than PS and the only game exclusive to Xbox came out after that video... and it's only time exclusive...

The actual top 5 best was already voted by around half a million voters

What's Your Game of The Year 2024 So Far? - IGN

The first few months of 2024 have had some big hits already. What's your favorite so far?

www.ign.com

1 Wukong
2 Elden Ring DLC
3 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
4 Stellar Blade
5 Space Marine 2

Without counting DLCs, Helldiver would had been in 5th place. Looking at the chart now Stalker 2 seems to be doing well at 7th place so it might have been higher if he was released sooner. Infinite Nikki is at 58th place but again it should be higher if it was released sooner. Both Infinite Nikki and Stalker seems to be good games.

My personal top 5 would be
1 Space Marine 2
2 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
3 Stellar Blade
4 Granblue Fantasy Relink
5 Wukong

Which is pretty close to the top 5 voted by most people with only Relink being the odd one.

a horribly written game vs a decent written game.

Yeah, it's not as ridiculous as Era but still pretty silly.

Difference is if you posted on Era about its "hate boner" for Hogwarts Legacy you'd be banned. Folks can say whatever they want about either here so I'd not take that for granted.

 

[M1chl]

Indiana Jones but not Stalker?

 

[proandrad]

A list of 14 games and no Stellar Blade or Sparking Zero what a fucking joke.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Stellar Blade??? You can tell the "IGN California Agenda" in full effect again.

To be fair, if you felt like bioware ripped you off after 2 and inquisition, would you give them a third chance? Critics praised those games as well.

All those corny ass games and no Stellar Blade?

Stellar Blade getting shunned by all these assholes is outrageous.

His doing nothing but stupid false equivalences. This case does not in any possible way equals to what Reera does.

This, that user is already known as one of the woke supporters so it's no surprise that they'll do the both side thing which is what they usually do to not make it obvious.

And it was never ever equal in the first place since one side are completely insane, disgusting, and upside down and trying to normalize and worse push for things that should have never existed or normalized in the first place. While the other side is just angry at the insane and twisted sick stuff they push and rightfully so. So no matter how extreme the other side gets, they'll never be as bad as their opposite insane era counterpart which pushes for things that are completely upside down and wrong and should not be.

It's not a fair this vs that side like which sport teams vs a different sport teams, a mma fighter vs another mma fighter, apple vs orange, which food is better, which game is better etc which are normal debates. But the woke crap isn't like those cases because it's something that should have never existed in the first place when the world was more sane and normal just a couple of decades or more ago.

Think we all know that negativity towards Veilguard isn't about the gameplay. It is primarily about the over the top trans messaging that's in the game that has turned a lot of folks against it.

 

[balls of snow]

Nice Times game of the year getting recognition.

 

[Mephisto40]

Everybody needs to vote Dragon Age Veilguard just to show the world the absolute clownassery that is IGN

 

[Ribi]

I want PoP to win for the memes

 

[Sooner]

FF7 Rebirth and Astro Bot.

Definitely not Echoes of Wisdom. That game was a colossal disappointment.

 

[Deft Beck]

Whats wrong with that?

It came out this year no?

So whats the problem

It's just absurd that Stellar Blade, a game that generated much more buzz and conversation, gets snubbed while this game gets a slot for just showing up.

I haven't played either

At least we at GAF can at least mention Veilguard by its name without getting permanently banned.

That alone says it all who the nutjobs actually are.
