GOTY is It Takes Two

 

[Tenny]

after the $$ they received from epic go dry, they will want to sell more copies

That's true but i'd like to have all of my games in one place tho.

I don't torrent games because it's a pain in the ass to find one without viruses or without having to seed.

that's why you use the usenet or one click hoster.
but i don't think the mods/admins going to like it if we talk about it furthermore.

 

[the_randomizer]

the repacks from the "not boy thats not fat" (i cant say the group name here i think? ) usually are good, includes everything just install and play

Still don't trust them, plus some ISPs can get nosey and nail ya for doing it.

 

[ZeroFX]

Still don't trust them, plus some ISPs can get nosey and nail ya for doing it.

No reason why not trust, just analyze the files if you're paranoid, about isp's yeah... if you're american (or some parts of europe) take care with torrenting lmao... ah, the land of freedom.

 

[orangy57]

lmao watching the cuphead trailer and some madman commented ">GAME JOURNOS NEED NOT APPLY"

 

[TunaKetchup]

Alan Wake bros... we're back.

 

[ertaboy356b]

Best Multiplayer is a couch coop?

 

[anhminh]

Does Genshin count as mobile game if it release on PC at the same time?

 

[the_randomizer]

No reason why not trust, just analyze the files if you're paranoid, about isp's yeah... if you're american (or some parts of europe) take care with torrenting lmao... ah, the land of freedom.

And Comcast is the only ISP that's fast around here, and they suck.

 

[chrisrlink]

if best naritive went to IT2 that would be both ironic and sweet justice

 

[Fugelmir]

This event sure was woke. Won't be watching that leftist-funded brainfunk again. I'll stick to the summary

 

[Viri]

About half way through, this shit is pretty boring and a let down. I wish this event was 2 hours, lol.

 

[RichardTheKing]

• Best eSports athlete is Simple
• Best eSports esports team is Natus Vincere
• Best eSports coach is KKoma
• Best eSports event is 2021 LoL World Championship

We care about this...why, again?

And the pre show is over with the reveal that Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is out on Switch, PC, and PS4. Comes March 17th

Again, where is P4 Arena, the prequel?

Best indie game award is for Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Bleurgh.

Monolith is working on a Wonder Woman game

Why bother? We still don't have a good Superman game, and he's way more iconic than this princess of misandrists.

Epic Games exclusive for Final Fantasy VII Remake coming to PC

Fuck off and Die, you Epic bastards; stop doing exclusivity deals. Compete properly!

Best mobile game goes to Genshin Impact despite coming out last year

This is a category worth mentioning...why? Screw that avaricious and gameplay-poor platform.

Breath of the Wil-like Tchia coming 2022

That means it's gonna be horrific, with an empty map, horrid art style, and frustrating limited stamina and equipment fragility...ugh. Please, stop doing "BotW-like" games.
Also, there's no 'd' at the end of 'Wil' there - oops.

Best action adventure goes to Metroid Dread

Joy. It so deserved this win, instead of something fun like Persona 5 Scramble (which came out in Japan last year, and only in English this year, but bloody Genshin Impact came out last year and won this year, so why not P5S?) or something.

 

[Kioku]

I'm confused. Why did Genshin Impact receive best mobile game when it came out on other platforms?

 

[Stealphie]

This event sure was woke. Won't be watching that leftist-funded brainfunk again. I'll stick to the summary

woke is when women, black and gay people

Again, where is P4 Arena, the prequel?

doesn't p4au include all of P4A's story

 

[Viri]

Legit question, do people enjoy music performances at award shows or big events?

 

[RichardTheKing]

woke is when women, black and gay people

doesn't p4au include all of P4A's story

No idea; never did get to play P4A (or P4AU) back when the PS3 was the current console.

 

[Xzi]

Space Marine 2 seems like it could be good. Not a lot of other new reveals that have really blown me away.

 

[KingVamp]

I think having some performances are fine.

 

[Scarlet]

I'm confused. Why did Genshin Impact receive best mobile game when it came out on other platforms?

Is that not impressive in itself that a game of that scale released on other platforms has perfect parity with its mobile release? It is a damn good mobile game.

 

[RichardTheKing]

Is that not impressive in itself that a game of that scale released on other platforms has perfect parity with its mobile release? It is a damn good mobile game.

"A damn good mobile game" is equivalent to "a damn shiny turd", so that's not exactly singing its praises...get rid of the stupid 'resin' limiter and the gacha elements, and it'd be a far more appealing game.
