God of War is masculine? You have to baby sit some dumb kid who won’t shut up the whole game.

So dads arent masculine? Huh, gaf's takes are getting dumber with each day.

 

[Warnen]

#2 seems appropriate

Since they took and number 2 on the franchise.

I was half joking in that I don’t necessarily think it deserves the GotY award, but it sure as hell deserves to be in the top 15.

I wasn’t joking about it would’ve been in many sites’ lists if it had a butch lesbian protagonist though. You know it’s true. But hey, it’s hilarious seeing you going to bat for Kotaku and defending their integrity and impartiality.


I thought it had some really satisfying and visceral combat and some real adrenaline pumping action scenes. IDK lots of times these kinds of games don’t hold my interest but I enjoyed the hell out of SM2 from start to finish.

If anything fits your description it’s probably Stellar Blade.


? I got bored of God of War 2018 in like 45 minutes and never paid attention to the series after that. Not sure what you want me to explain.

I can see why people think stellar blade is generic t&a game but it's so much more than that with great world, combat, music and just vibes.

I still plan on trying it when it comes to PC, just going by what I’ve heard around here. Glad to know there’s more to it than T&A

add fatherhood to things gaf considers woke

#2 is definitely a good spot for this turd.

I personally give zero fucks about Kotaku and don't see this as anything other than your typical Bioware bias by the American press for the past what? 15 years?
I think the unapologetically masculine crowd getting triggered over some action TPS game not getting into these GOTY lists is way more hilarious.

Can’t take anyone serious who thinks Astro Bot is #1

And this is what a person with a cat in a cap on his avatar writes. Where is this world heading...

 

[LectureMaster]

Stellar Blade says hello and merry christmass (not my pic lol)

Of course it's not yours. Your heart can be only filled with one woman.

Mouthwashing?

In terms of story it's anti-Veilguard. Incredibly well written, well paced, short sweet and to the point. Allows the player to make assumptions here and there and honestly has a significantly better understand of the human condition than Veilguard could ever dream of.

Biggest negative in my opinion is

Spoiler

It's a psychological horror game so no big jump scares and that's great until it decides to go too far in the phychological aspect and trip the fuck out. Then there are slight jump scares and it ruins the pace for me but that's the end of the game and it's not that big a part of it.

 

[Stamps1646]

I assumed Mouthwashing was a VR oral simulation game for solo levelers.

Absolutely read that video as Trash.

I heard good things about 1000xRESIST. Of the ones I played, I would say Metaphor, Animal Well, Helldivers 2, Astro Bot, and Like A Dragon deserve to be there. Hoping to play Silent Hill 2 soon.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Star Wars Outlaws and Veilguard, but no Wukong.

I think Outlaws is actually pretty good at least.

No Stellar Blade? Who made this list!??

Yikes, ya’ll

 

[Little Mac]

Regardless of the list, I’m seeing Animal Well mentioned everywhere lately. I’m guessing it’s good?

[Sooner]

This is the result when you judge a game based on your political views

Seriously. The entire plot of Astro Bot was nothing more than a Donald Trump campaign commercial.

 

[Shiny Pepe]

Holy shit Veilguard at number 2

 

[Damigos]

Seriously. The entire plot of Astro Bot was nothing more than a Donald Trump campaign commercial.

You re funny man

 

[Superkewl]

Mouthwashing?

Apparently some wokey woke game, why I suspect Kotaku likes it.

No Stellar Blade? Who made this list!??

Looks like they're about to set up the next heist in GTAO.
