Would have preferred Bloodborne, but ori's art is pretty damn good

 

[diaspora]

Ori beating Bloodbourne was obvious.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Phil totally changed the winner.

 

[Maddocks]

Bloodborne robbed.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Absolutely deserved

 

[Lazulic]

well yeah, cant have phil say bloodborne lol

 

[Thorakai]

Not exactly a wide range of radically different art directions...especially given how many different arts styles were presented this year.

 

[Bsigg12]

I used to love Harmonix but this is God Damn embarrassing.

GH Live on Rift would be so much better. At least they have real crowds.

Wouldn't have worked unless it was filmed with a 360 degree camera setup.


Also, hell yea Ori!

 

[boclfon479]

Bloodbourne or Ori have to win. None of the other options really stand out IMO

its a good thing ori won, its literally the only one of those games that has a different art style than "realistic looking"

 

[Zyae]

ORI

 

[Crayolan]

A terrible selection of nominees for this category, but at least the one that actually deserved to be nominated won.

 

[Sydle]

Well deserved. : )

 

[Vire]

lol the guy shouting Ori ahead of time.

Good choice.

 

[RoKKeR]

YES ORI WWWWOOOOOOOO

 

[Giriath_89]

Well deserved. And haha "XBOX!!".

 

[hughesta]

First award I'm legit salty about. Should've gone to Bloodborne.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Fuck yeah Ori. Fantastic game.

 

[AllenShrz]

Over Bloodborne? hummm OK, I'll allow it.

 

[Obliterator]

I mean Ori is gorgeous so I can see them deserving it for sure

 

[CloakedPuppet]

A lot of the truly shitty and cynical replies in this thread are a testament to why I have decided to seriously ration my time on Gaf and other places. Life is too short to expose oneself to this kind of cynicism. Get out there and create something or do the world a favour and shut the fuck up.

 

[Skrams]

I was hoping he would feel a little silly announcing a PS4 exclusive like Bloodborne as the best art direction, but nah.

 

[Nista]

I'm happy that Ori won that, it's a very lovely game.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I assume Bloodborne is winning nothing then

 

[thepotatoman]

Was that a bad list of nominees or was this year really lacking in art design?

At least the winner definitely deserved it.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Bloodborne got badly robbed. Someone calls the cops please.

 

[SenseiAsad]

ORI!

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Its gotta be ori

 

[Delio]

Ori really deserved that.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Good for them. Ori has amazing visuals.

 

[Technosteve]

Cash them checks

 

[-shadow-]

Spencer is legit awesome!

 

[BenHargrove]

Bloodbourne or Ori have to win. None of the other options really stand out IMO


Edit: Yay

I should play Ori.

oh man it's 50% off.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

That's a surprising pick, but I'll accept it. Beautiful game.

As long as it wasn't Batman.

 

[Inkvoterad]

B-but Bloodborne was the only game on that list with notable art direction.

 

[rakkadakka]

Ori absolutely deserved to win this.

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol...telegraphed by who was presenting. bloodborne should have won

 

[Extra Sauce]

I'm not sure the Game Awards understand what art direction means.

 

[Stinkles]

Phil Spencer's posture always weirds me the fuck out. Why does he always stand like he's facing a hurricane?

Oh my god I'm showing him this post.

 

[WrenchNinja]

WOW WHAT A SURPRISE

 

[GreyWind]

Well deserved.

 

[koolaroo]

Man I wish they didn't have teenagers so close to the stage.

 

[Metalingus5150]

Bloodborne getting robbed left and right.

 

[Strider]

Yep. Ori is gorgeous. Good choice.

BB winning GOTY so you guys gotta stop complaining it's not winning these other awards lol

 

[Primethius]

Bloodborne got robbed, HARD!

 

[ChosenPredator]

ORI is like an art orgasm so well deserved

 

[neurosyphilis]

I wanted Bloodborne to win so bad, just to see how awkward that would've been.

 

[Justinh]

Glad Ori won something.
