Reminder that these are the people who thought Untitled Goose game deserved GOTY over Sekiro, RE2 Remake, Control, Outer Wilds, Luigis Mansion 3, Disco Elysium, etc

No audio nomination for FF16 is a crime

Can’t take this awards show seriously with this GOTY list. But to each his own…

Someone please explain the general mindset of the person who 1. played through Cocoon in it's entirety. 2. Enjoyed it enough to put in on a list.

It's basically a Diablo Traversal Simulator . You know the annoying puzzles that are in some games? Well imagine a game that is ONLY that. With walking in between.

Joke awards

 

[BrunoCoel]

Zelda best Narrative?

 

[Punished Miku]

Another nomination for Spider Man 2 best narrative. Best one all year.

 

[Fake]

Why game nominee's are so joke? Are because the people that made don't play games?
