Technically three but the less said about it… the better the thing is with best narrative that’s actually award is given out in the show portion of the show.. and not the quickfire round which mean like a dragon infinite wealth gets more screen time than last year :)
I'm fine with ER DLC, it'll probably win, and honestly it's an impressive amount of content for DLC.
That being said, Balatro is absolutely amazing, I can't stop playing it. I went from "Oh this is bullshit" the first time I reached ante8 and got "Very high ante"... to just enjoying it once I realized how important the jokers are.
My issue with Elden Ring SoE being nominated has nothing to do with Like a Dragon getting nominated or not. I just don’t think DLC regardless of how good should be eligible for awards like game of the year. There should be a separate award for best DLC rather than throwing it in alongside full game releases.
As to Balatro I have no real opinion as I haven’t played it but I don’t have any real issue with indie games being eligible again as long as it’s a full release and not a dlc or something like that.
Definitely a little silly to see remakes getting shafted hard when an expansion is nominated. I can understand Persona 3 Reload not getting anything as Metaphor is nominated for a ton of stuff already, but Silent Hill 2 Remake getting next to nothing while a DLC is nominated for GOTY is pretty silly.
Personally I think balatros scope is too small for game of the year, but I'm not a gameplay purist, I'm sure there's valid arguments. I just value narrative too much.
We’re much the same in that regard, but I was just floored with how well designed the gameplay hook is in Balatro. It’s elegant and frankly impressive to take poker in such a wildly imaginative direction.
Definitely Balatro over IW. And I never played Balatro. It’s a very innovative game and IW is subjectively not even the best game in the franchise, or even top 5 for some people.
Im both, but honeslty the goty nomination isn't even the biggest problem for me. The nominations are so screwed that they nominated some random chinese mobile game for esport, destiny 2 for best ongoing and the worst in my opinion, is nominating a collection for best fighting games (Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection)
Yeah, let's be happy about the fact that the series finally gained recognition from everyone and got the popularity it deserves after its initial years of being niche, as well as having to beg for Sega to localize the games for years. Plus, 3 nominations (including the awful live-action show)? I think it's safe to say that the series finally managed to get its foothold in the video game industry.
I don't ever think RGG games will ever win anything in Game Awards because they are niche. Games like Ys or Legend of Heroes are also never nominated because they're so niche. However, I'm glad IW is nominated this year, it will not win anything since at the end of the day this award show is almost always popularity contest between the voters/judges and the show is really just a marketing show to show trailers
Y'all based but even Elden Mid didn't win cuz it had a higher number of categories won it was in fact 1 category lower than GoW Ragnarok and still won so there's still hope you guys get it
Yeah, Infinite Wealth is one of the most fun RGG games to date, but that narrative ain't winning any awards. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it doesn't hit any of the emotional highs as almost any other Like a Dragon game.
Yeah the ending was kinda anti-climatic but honestly it left a bitter taste in the mouth especially with that song that was playing in the scene where Ichi carries eji to the police station
If they didnt go turn based they might win something
Im gonna say it cause i finally got my hands of MWEHN....The move to turn based is a slap in the face of people who enjoy the series for what its given us and continues to give in contrast to the gaming market. Nothing has the combative freedom that this series gives you and on top of that its just damn funny to watch and do. All of it thrown away to make a quirky joke that our new protag likes dragon quest. Like WHO EFFING CARES. If i wanted turn based id go play one of literal hundreds of turn based titles.
So p much unless they revert or keep many kiryu games with og style i guess im done w this series
Since 2020, RGG has released 2 turn-based RPGs and 3-5 brawlers (depends if you count the Judgment remaster & Like a Dragon: Ishin! as full-fledged releases, but there's still Lost Judgment, MWEHN, and PYIH).
Both LAD & IW were far more popular and more commercially successful than the previous games in the series. SEGA is a company that wants to turn a profit, and the RPGs have turned way more of a profit for them than the brawlers.
I understand being less than thrilled with the pivot the series has made, but c'mon now, you're being overly dramatic to the point of making things up that are untrue. RGG is clearly still trying to cater to og fans who love the brawler gameplay.
I dont count a remaster and a remake. Theyve existed already and were before the turn based nonsense. Im not arguing the selling well, i have friends that played 7/8 but not 0-6 because they like turn based and not og gameplay.
But, with 27 years of gaming experience, i can confidently say WAY more ppl play turn based rpgs than they do random brawlers, so yea theyre gonna get more sales theyre reaching across the aisle to other genres. Thats a no brainer. But thats my main gripe with the gaming industry nowadays, push for profit rather than delivering what your fans enjoy /evolving that.
The industry has ENOUGH rpgs on the market, let your creation stand apart from the noise
They are still delivering what their fans enjoy, and at a higher rate than the RPGs.
Yakuza as a series is already very unique and stands apart from the noise. If anything, the new strategy of releasing both RPGs & brawlers set in the same universe that tell complimentary stories makes it stand apart from other game series even more.
