[THEAP99]

Congratulations to SuckerPunch for winning these smaller awards at least

 

[S73v3]

Sony is never lacking in AAA japanese exclusives :^)

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Remember all the uproar over the lack of respect and authenticity around release?

That's racist...just because it's Japanese doesn't mean that it's smaller. /S

 

[Imtjnotu]

Just started playing this. This is my GOTY

 

[Valedix]

Just started playing this. This is my GOTY

Same.

 

[THEAP99]

Maybe this will make Sony invest in japanese type of games since everyone is scared they're always ignoring japan

 

[Imtjnotu]

Same.

I'm roughly at 15 hours of play time and man. The combat. The skill tree. The voice acting. The story.


GOTY

 

[bender]

I'm really happy for Sucker Punch. They've always felt a bit like the red headed step child. It seems they've really elevated their game and knocked this out of the park.

 

[DonJorginho]

This is tied with FF7 Remake for my GOTY.

 

[finowns]

Last of us was lame. The Japanese said so.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

So deserved.

Still salty it got robbed at the TGAs

 

[Hayabusabruh]

The game is so well made. It reminds me of Sushi.

 

[THEAP99]

It had the lowest critic score out of any of the nominations at TGA and you should be happy it even got nominated. It is not surprise to anyone it did not win considering 90% of it is decided by critics.

In term of production value it's certainly an AAA for western market but for Japanese market it's a niche.

Critics, you say?

So... robbed?

 

[-Arcadia-]

B-b-b-cultural appropriation

Smart people appreciate a respectful homage to their culture. Glad to see we still have a bunch of those in Japanese gaming.

 

[THEAP99]

Critics, you say?

So... robbed?

No, not robbed. The awards have always been decided by critics. For the game to have been robbed, one of two things would've had to happen:

- The awards are decided by fans
- Ghost of Tsushima have a higher critic rating since launch that's comparable to the other games nominated

I'm heavily impliying critics underscored it and so the same critics didn't give it the goty at the tgas.

that does not mean it was robbed.

 

[Yoboman]

Finally picking this one up for Christmas

Open world games generally aren't my cup of tea so hopefully it lives up to the hype

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

It does to me! GoT is goty!

Have fun and let us know how it goes.

And remember, trust the divine wind!

 

[mikefrails]

I'm going to try it again. I went into it after a few other story based games and felt burnt; didn't want to blame the game so I stopped.

 

[Vick]

Based Japan.

I'm roughly at 15 hours of play time and man. The combat. The skill tree.

Just wait till you unlock Surging Strikes..

 

[HE1NZ]

Based Japan shits all over the woke virus.

 

[SEGA_2012]

I am happy to see Fall Guys and Animal Crossing on the list.

Six posts on the first page patronising the developer, the game, and its fans. Pace yourself.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Remember all the uproar over the lack of respect and authenticity around release?

Those people are insane.

 

[Kumomeme]

we need more game of culture appreciation like this, than political agenda game.

 

[Boss Mog]

Thanks Japan for not taking the knee to wokeness and triggering the fuck out of at least one member of the TLOU2 defense force .

 

[Boss Mog]

So deserved.

Still salty it got robbed at the TGAs

It won the people's voice TGA which is really the only one that matters.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Well deserved. It was my personal GOTY.

 

[Fredrik]

Yeah I’m surprised people don’t realize what kind of underdog Ghost was at TGA, it did lots of things right but check this list and keep scrolling down until you find Ghost, currently sits at #96 based on the critics score.

Best Video Games for 2023

See how well critics are rating the Best Video Games for 2023

[[Sigma]]

Not surprised. Japan understands.

 

[carlosrox]

I still really wanna try this game out and it's apparent improvement on PS5 make it even more tempting.

Backlog is just too massive, there's too many damn games to play.

 

[Boss Mog]

It had the lowest critic score out of any of the nominations at TGA and you should be happy it even got nominated. It is not surprise to anyone it did not win considering 90% of it is decided by critics.

You mean the woke critics, who don't even play games, didn't give a game with no black people or trans people a high score? Well I, for one, am shocked! Good thing nobody gives a shit what woke critics say except salty social justice warriors then. What matters is what gamers think and when you look at the user scores on metacritic it's pretty clear what gamers think of both GoT and TLOU2 and it's why GoT won the people's voice TGA.

 

[K.S v2.0]

It had the lowest Ma'am score out of any of the nominations at TGA and you should be happy it even got nominated. It is not surprise to anyone it did not win considering 90% of it is decided by paid off soy cuck reviewers.

FTFY.

Fortunately, Jin is not a ma'am.

 

[kretos]

MY GOTY

 

[prinz_valium]

GZ, great Game

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

It won the people's voice TGA which is really the only one that matters.

ooohhh yeah

 

[Komatsu]

Congrats to Sucker Punch - a groundbreaking honor, really, given that they not only snatched the titles as a Western developer, but as a Western developers coming out with a title set in Kamakura-era Japan.

 

[kyussman]

Are the loonies over at Resetera still outraged that a western dev took on a Japanese tale like this.......despite everyone in Japan saying it was fantastic.....probably,lol.

 

[acm2000]

japan votes for japanese style games, mind blown.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Dammit is this the best game ever or a by the numbers standard open world formula game but in a feudal Japan setting?

I can't get a straight answer out of you people

(shakes and slaps GAF)

 

[Mexen]

Wow!

You can't be serious : GoT Is probably number 11 in that list with over 405.000 copia sold and It would be possibly some position higher if Famitsu had a more complete accounting of Digital Sales. It's the second best selling Ps game of the year, after FFVII remake. How Is this niche ?

Oh, it's ok, that will get rectified in the sequel, they'll add a trans black samurai that is banished from xer bigoted village, some bigot sushi, an ugly lesbian samurai to replace Jin and say fuck you to the patriarchy and it will get all the awards. Easy peasy.

 

[The_Mike]

Maybe this will make Sony invest in japanese type of games since everyone is scared they're always ignoring japan

"Japanese creators praising a Japanese game"

I agree tho, fire Druckmann and replace him with tenfold of Japanese devs instead.
