Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Release Date 09/26/2024 This is how I know GOTY is bullshit. Game hasn’t even released and its nominated for GOTY.
Why isn’t Echoes of Wisdom in the “upcoming” category? It doesn’t release until the end of the month.
Because game awards are a marketing gimmick
To be fair, it’s probably the only game I’m going to buy at launch this year.
The rules and the preferences of the judges or what has not won before makes Game of the Year look kinda like shit. Like indie games and fps games without narrative have no chance?
the public vote only counts for 10% of the final vote
This is bullshit. This year has proven better than any other that there is a wide discrepancy between what gamers vs “critics” think is good.
That 10% is only there so that you can participate and feel involved; awards are mostly money schemes and industry people patting each other on the back.
I vote for Concord. I didn’t buy it, I didn’t play it. But seeing Sony fail so spectacularly was massively entertaining. GOTY material indeed.
UPCOMING
Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Go home Polygon, you’re drunk.
If you were to judge based on this list, this would be a poor year for video games
Is there something like this, but only for indies?
Really? Astrobot? Bullshit. Sony probably paid for that. Also a yet to be released Nintendo game, and the 4 billionth slight variation on the most overrated final fantasy of all time. Whoopdeedoo.
I’ve heard from shit tons of sources that Astro Bot is straight-out good, yes
Lol, downvoted for sharing genuine opinions people I personally know have, as well as sources who are super willing to call out corporate garbage for what it is loving it, like Stephanie Sterling
Other than being a nostalgia-reference filled and well put together time waster it’s not that special. It’s very inoffensive and it runs well. Maybe that is enough for most people to indulge and enjoy.
I don’t think it GOTY material but I don’t hate it. It’s certainly fun and has tons of cute details.
