Only Kojima's girlfriend 's matters.

Wired?

More like weird.

One dude could not choose a GOTY. I wonder how publications with a committee for choosing GOTY would manage that.

Pentiment is a great game like bungee jumping is a good activity, meaning, it's specialized for a certain type of person who enjoys specific things (reading games in this case).

Does that make it worse? I don't know. I like it, but I have to be in a certain mood to play it. I have to play it before I go to bed or something when I am winding down. That takes it down a notch for me.

Is "reading game" now a genre?

I have to say I disagree and that if Elden Ring rightly wins, most people will be very happy.

Not really. Its high quality, but IMO lacks the je nous se qua of the other contenders.

What did you just call me...?

I don't think it makes it worse, I also get those period and especially after a particular type of game (text heavy ones), I need to have a 'mindless' game and those games (including the great vampire survivor which can definitely get a bit mindless in the last 10 minutes of a run) aren't necessarily better imo.

It goes back to reviews are just very subjective not only to tastes but also personally circumstances.
