I'm okay with anyone saying it's a Game of the Year (not personal Game of the Year, but general majority Game of the Year) contender, but I would like to actually discuss why or why not.

lol....bullshit

The actual gameplay videos look like more of the same from the first two games, which were both really good, but certainly not Game of the Year material. Anyone who feels that way is likely a massive fanboy.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This. I got banned from the Brunette thread because I posted a picture of Joan Collins. Did I make a thread moaning about it and arguing Joan Collins still being a GILF?

No. I grew some balls, moved on and fapped to Joan Collins.

Dynasty Joan Collins?

If only we could all strive for your level of discourse.



Oh wait. Never mind.

That's legitimately how I feel about those games. And I'd have been willing to discuss why, with genuine opinions, if anyone had asked.

 

[Silver Wattle]

"Why is no one taking MY side? I'm the victim!"

 

[The Cockatrice]

I would never say that a game can't be ones personalGame of the Year. But, again, it feels disingenuous to suggest that when people generally call a game GOTY that they only saying that's it's their personal one, unless they specifically call that out. Especially just as a semantic, and unnecessary given that I think it will be good, defense of a game.

Again, I see no logic in your statements. GOTY has no universal/unique meaning. When we say the word goty, it's almost always personal unless specified that its a goty at a show/publication. If I say Ana de Armas's ass is AOTY I dont expect, nor imply that its for everyone. That'd be absurd.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Aye, the Beagle Boys bought NeoGAF right from under me!

Those ducks will set things right.

I got nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Cashon]

Yes.

Oh.

The level of discourse is below the basement as soon as you use terminology like that

 

[rofif]

Imagine being butthurt from being banned from a thread. Move onto the next one.

Imagine not caring about your passion

[Cashon]

I wish my life was so full of free time that I can get banned from a thread discussing a videogame featuring a man who thinks he's a spider and then create a new thread as if we are supposed to seriously discuss the severity or lack thereof of said offense that lead to you getting banned in the first place.

I wish that for you too. Life's too short to not have free time dedicated to things in which you're interested.

 

[March Climber]

I don't think any of it was contradictory though. I do think the game will be good, I do not think it will be Game of the Year. I did feel that I had to continuously define, with greater and greater granularity, what Game of the Year means due to others being disingenuous (I hope) with their replies.

That's all logically consistent.

Genuine response: The issue is that your standards would mean GoTY games should always be the innovators and we have seen on multiple occasions for this to not be the case. Sometimes GoTY is just a really, really, really well polished game that people enjoyed front to back. There are a lot of innovators in the indie space that don't even get mentioned in GoTY conversations.

lol....bullshit

He's mourning, don't go too hard on him:

Personally, I think Game of the Year should be based on, contrary to what critics like to say, the sum of its parts and how well those parts will hold up over time. In that respect, Starfield should come out on top due to having more to do and see, in addition to having an actual story.

 

[Cashon]

I disagree. The language is strong to reflect my opinion on the genre. Writing doesn't have to be rote.

I mean... it's the same as people who watched literally any gameplay of Starfield and thought it would be a gamechanger. It looked and sounded like Fallout in Space, yet people were trying to call it a Game of the Year. That was clearly a case of fanboys hoping that Xbox could pull out a massive win. This is the same as that, with Sony (especially because Sony hasn't had that strong of a year).

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

"interested"

 

[Cashon]

lol....bullshit

Do I really, really have to define Game of the Year again, in context? Why do you choose to ignore that?

 

[Danjin44]

I cant understand why people love to go this heated argument over what will win GOTY......who the fuck cares!? My GOTY based on the games I enjoyed, I dont give rat ass what VGA shows consider GOTY.

Lets say Spider Man 2 wins GOTY, still not gonna make me want play that games since I'm not in to Marvel/DC comic crap. Only one reason I watch VGA shows, because of trailers and nothing else.

 

[rofif]

What lol

If that’s a main hobby of this guy and it is certainly for a lot of us, then wouldn’t being taken away from social discourse on your fav topic be potentially even more hurtful than not playing the game?

Social aspect is very important. We as humans are social and sharing our hobbies with others are extremely important. Be that streaming, forums or posts

 

[hepfom]

[DeaDPo0L84]

Imagine not caring about your passion

Imagine your passion is arguing with strangers about videogames you have absolutely no stake in.

You REALLY can’t imagine that people are passionate about their games on possibly the most enthusiast forum?!

Imagine thinking Forspoken is a good looking game.

Imagine thinking Forspoken is a good looking game.

Imagine thinking it’s not because you believe stupid memes.
It’s fantastic looking and playing game. Not only good. Don’t be so petty or I will rap battle your ass and then your mom

 

[Cashon]

He's mourning, don't go too hard on him:

Yeah, I was seemingly wrong about that. The critics have seemingly spoken and none of Starfield's combined features will outweigh the fanfare of Tears' sandbox.

You won't get it this time too

For health purposes a good recommendation for most things, even your passion, is healthy moderation.

Well, you said it yourself:

[Danjin44]

There is nothing wrong with passion but most of GOTY so called "discussion" boil down to flashing meta score at each other and faboysim comments and it ends when bunch of them get banned from thread......I'm sorry thats not "passion" thats just straight up stupidity.

Imagine getting banned for discussion about fucking game of the year.. a award that for some years means jack shit minus 1...

 

[German Hops]

 

[Topher]

Well, you said it yourself:

So he can be wrong about Starfield, but anyone saying the same about Spider-man 2 is a "massive fanboy".

Do I really, really have to define Game of the Year again, in context? Why do you choose to ignore that?

Because of the above....

[VN1X]

You know that part in The Network where he goes "My life has value!!" in reference to all of the dumb minutiae people occupy themselves with?

This is a bit like that. Only I fear some of you are so far down the rabbit hole of "videogame reception" that it's simply too late.

 

[Cashon]

Well, you said it yourself:

I gave specific reasons for thinking that, based on my own experience with previous Fallout games. I would've had the same opinion if the game had been third-party.

 

[64bitmodels]

It is so fucking funny to me to see one of these acc suicide threads and see that the cause was yet again some dude who got way too tilted over a warning from mods or a thread ban.

You know what happens when i recieve a notif about a deleted message or a banned thread? move on with my day. Why let it bug you so much? You're not even banned from the forum as much as it is one thread, out of like 900k. There are other places to passionately discuss gaming out in this forum let alone the internet

I get passion, but when that passion is close to getting you banned, you're not really helping yourself here
