Vampire Survivors winning GotY against this kind of competition is positively surprising.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Joke awards.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Well deserved for GoW Ragnarok winning the public voted Game of the Year, it's such a great game

Why are you so angry?

Where did you get that idea? Not liking something makes you angry?

I saw your other post in the E3 thread. You just seem unhappy.

How was that e3 post angry? Saying good riddance makes one angry? Unhappy? Are you going to go through my entire post history to find angry posts? Only angry one was in the gpu thread.

Okay, bud! Okay.

Why is it called 2023 awards when it's for games in 2022?

 

[solidus12]

PlayStation keeps delivering. You love to see it.

 

[yurinka]

To give their GOTY to Vampire Survivors is a joke and they lost any credibility with this. Other than that, the other winners make sense.

Eh, sure.

It's one of those that just lines up that way, problem of having the show in the first quarter of a year, so the 2024 show will cover the majority of 2023 released games.

I mean, I feel like it's a breath of fresh air from the endless awards for Elden Ring and God of War with Horizon sprinkled in. Why do you feel Vampire Survivor winning that award is a joke? Purely curious.

 

[poodaddy]

I enjoyed my time with Vampire Survivors, but it didn't grab me quite the way it did some people. Gameplay loop just got old kinda quick. Good for the devs though.

 

[ByWatterson]

Vampire Survivors is a wonderful little game but come on LOL.

Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok, and Tunic all exist.

Silliness.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Great to see fun, gameplay focused game taking a win.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Shameful GotY choice.

 

[mrmustard]

Great to see fun, gameplay focused game taking a win.

It's a great and super fun game, but the gameplay is actually just moving the left analog stick.

 

[Danjin44]

Dont worry I will be judge of that!!!

I'm sorry the result is not good...

Spoiler: Your hue is too clouded.

[Robb]

Pretty cool to see Vampire Survivors take it, it was definitely a top contender for me. Such a surprisingly great and addictive game!

 

[tommycronin]

Anyone who's played both VS and Ragnarok can tell VS is the clear better game.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Never heard of Vampire Survivors and I’m largely abreast of gaming news. Wonder how that slipped by.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Yeah.

Who would've thought simple mechanics can be fun, right?

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Damn, Splatoon 3, Xenoblade 3, and Sonic Frontiers didn't even get nominated for Best Music. Guess if it doesn't follow Western tradition or Jazz, it isn't music!

 

[GymWolf]

Well at least stray didn't won shit, the industry is still not completely irrecoverable yet.

Lmao at angrbora best performance.

 

[GymWolf]

Never heard of Vampire Survivors and I’m largely a breast of gaming news. Wonder how that slipped by.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Lmao at angrbora best performance.

I was gonna say it but yeah we all know why she won over fucking Freya or Sindri lmfao. Like I said joke awards. Indies can win goty thats fine but not when they are just gimmicky afk types of games compared to games that put effort in story, audio, design, etc. or even over indies that put a ton of effort in those said things, like cmon. If popularity wins why not just give it to fifa then? Fucking trash.

 

[reksveks]

Like the salty comments.

BAFTA still has the best process imo out of all of the awards.

What is the process behind angrboda winning the award over way better voice actors with harder, more nuanced roles to act in the same game?

Best process my filthy ass, we all know why she won...

 

[reksveks]

Do you know how the Bafta process works?

Best process my filthy ass, we all know why she won...

No you assume why? Just like someone here assumed that Everything Everywhere All at One won Best Picture cause of the cast.

Also people have subjective opinions on performances/reviews and it's not really that important. I also didn't say that the process makes the Bafta any more important or always correct.

I can tell what was their process when they chose one of the most unremarkable voice performances in the game over thor, odin, freya or sindri.

If their process was the best process, she would have never won, you know it, i know it, let's be real here...

So I am going to imply that no, you don't.

And you are just assuming the juries conversation, that's fine. Let's leave it there.

We can fake to be clueless on why she won over WAY better voice actors on the fucking bafta, sure thing dude.

Clearly you dont either since you cant say why she was picked over better/experienced voice actors. Nothing in your pdf explains why, so enlighten us.

 

[reksveks]

Can't be bothered re-arguing the fact that reviews of games/performances are subjective.

Feel free to continue with your POV that everything can be objectively analysed.

So youre saying the bafta awards are subjective instead of being objective as any award should be? Which means its hugely flawed and any half-assed game/performer can win as long as they have social points or are a minority? Thank you for proving us why the awards are, as I said, a joke.

 

[Wildebeest]

Elden Ring best multiplayer title.

 

[ChoosableOne]

I think they gave an award to Vampire Survivor for taking the walking simulator genre to a whole new level.

 

[RoboFu]

One of these award shows should give Mario Kart 8 a life time achievement award. It’s basically a senior citizen video game that’s still charting.

 

[GymWolf]

You don't need a cringe story and hollywood actors to make the best walking simulator ever.

So proud of my fellow italian developer who made the game.

I am saying that all awards and reviews are subjective (especially true when it comes to media criticism) and that to some people is a part of the value of them. I don't know how this is new information but underlining this to hopefully make it make sense.

You just assume that if X didn't win or X did win, it was for Y reasons, feel free to do that.

You guys and your weird culture wars.

 

[Roberts]

Vampire Survivors wasn't my GOTY (It was Grounded - it so sad that it being on EA for two years robbed it of any chance to win awards), but it was definitely top5. Probably the most instantly addictive game I have played in forever and that's what counts, doesn't it?

It was actually because Sony didn't pay them enough to give the award to GOW:R ...

Vampire survivor was some of the most fun I had last year to be honest. Good job on the developers proving gameplay over graphics any day.

No tastes in game confirmed

Vampire survivors better than the rest? Only an idiot would agree with that and I liked the game and barely liked ER. You also have no idea why I called it a joke since u didnt bother reading the rest of the replies in here.

 

[MagnesD3]

Vampire Survivors agenda push is a scam...
