This site right here is the only 'review' gaming website I give 2 fucks about. If you guys want to watch a streamer or whatever review a game, great have at it. I trust 0% of reviews that are not here.

Streamers are nice because they're playing the game live, so even if they say shit like "oh this is so good", you can clearly see if it's a pile of shit. Another way to tell if they're only saying it's good cause they're being paid is if they stop playing the game entirely once the sponsored time is over. There's also some streamers that don't care that much and will shit on games they're actively being paid to play if they don't like it. Overall this isn't as much as a review as it is watching the game being played so you can draw your own conclusions on the core gameplay mechanics and such, which I find useful enough. I don't have any streamer I actually follow and I just click on random ones in the middle of the list on twitch and see what the game is about.

I'm still really pissed that they ruined Dragon Age to the point I don't think I'll play it for free. This LGBTQ / Faggotry shit needs to die in a fire.

I mean, we knew it was going to be like this before it was even released. Remember the first teaser? We all dog piled on it because it just looked like a bad fucking game. You could already tell it was going to be "woke" even then. When it finally did release, fuck.. we had no idea just how much LGBT bullshit was in it.

I mean, you had to really be desperate to buy the fucking game is all Im saying. The people that I saw playing the game are the same "white dudes for Harris" because their "partner" controls them. Granted, I still think a lot of those faggots still voted for Trump in secret.

If you have any love for the series, do not play it ever. Even if the gameplay was like DA:O, Taash was replaced with a male DA:O/DA2 Qunari, and the rest of the characters refrained from talking like current-day 20-somethings from San Francisco, the story still shits all over everything that came before it. There are retcons galore, lazy writing that basically just wipes out Ferelden because otherwise they'd have had to figure out how to import player choices from previous games, and the the 'true' ending is some of the worst slop that anyone ever pulled out of their ass and takes the 'shitting on the older games' thing to an entirely new level.

The game would be still only be about a 3/10 even with all the degeneracy removed. And that's assuming you got the 'everyone dies' ending to put the series out of its misery, and not the hidden ending that comes from some obscure side quest shit. Knock another point or two off if that ending really is going to be canon going forward.

I think it's fine for that as a platform where people can show off their games. You can ignore the actual awards, like you could before when it was only "game journalists" giving them, cause they were just as worthless back then. And making the awards votes from random players only would absolutely not be any better either, as it'd just be popularity contests which in no way reflect the quality of the games. It's all just pointless, unless you're trying to please your shareholders you really shouldn't care about awards for games(or movies or music).

Don't care about the rewards, they can all take there agenda and sit on it. But when the only place you can possibly see upcoming games are the companies own shill-fests, fuck'em.

That's what E3 was though? You can just get the summaries and watch the individual trailers on youtube later too, don't have to watch the actual gameshow stuff. I rarely watch them directly(partly because of when they air but also cause I can't be bothered waiting through all the yapping and the actual award shit), I just check reddit the day after and see which trailer is popular. Pretty much all these announcements are also like 6months to over a year from release anyway so it's not like they won't be spamming more trailers until then, most bigger games release with like half a dozen of trailers and even indie games usually have several, and I'm not missing out on knowing that GTAVI is coming in 2026(tentatively) or that they're still making Hollow Knight Silksong or whatever news come out, especially not by a day.

I would guess that if they can't even spell the name right it has zero chance of winning anyway.

I'd give it to Metaphor, but if I had to place a bet on the winner my money would be on Elden Ring, seeing as they changed the rules specifically to allow DLC to qualify for a GOTY nomination.

Astro Bot got way to many noms, I think. Pure nostalgia winning out. Balatro seems a bit out of place.

Balatro is a great game. I have no issues with it being on the list. I expect Elden Ring to win though.

For those who actually voted, you should go check if the site registered those votes. Mine got wiped and I had to re-vote. The site was kept failing during my first try.

its just a really weak year it seems.

astro bot I hear is good. but not exceptional. just good in a time of shitty games. Balatro everyone that plays raves about.


look at this shit
Best RPG

*Dragon’s Dogma 2 (Capcom)

*Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree (FromSoftware/Bandai Namco)

*Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (Square Enix)

*Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio/Sega)

*Metaphor: ReFantazio (Studio Zero/Atlus/Sega)


Rogue trader not even nominated. which sure, it was buggy at release. but had all year patching. and it was a weak year. look at the crap that was nominated. metaphor is the only one that deserves to be there.
