Games are too big! I feel like just playing these 6 games only would take me longer than a calendar year (half of which would be Metaphor, I'm sure).

[Besticus Maximus]

They don't understand that Wu Kong was legit fucking brilliant because they talked themselves out of playing it on spurious grounds.

Stellar Blade too. I'm a giant weeb and I have to profess and convert new believers, Wu Kong is as good or better than anything that came out of Japan that isn't Elden Ring DLC.

It should probably win for the art direction alone tbh.

Can someone afterwards make a compilation of all of them sperging over an inconsequential GOTY list? Appreciate it.

[Daffy Duck]

So want Wukong to win just to annoy them and watch the meltdown.

I’d guess they’d want that weeb rpg to win followed by Astrobot then FF7

[Nintex]

Well if you don't nominate games like Space Marine II, Tekken 8, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero and Dragon Quest III: 2D-HD for some retarded reason you end up with a dumb list like that.

User Banned (1 Month): Sinophobic Commentary

That Wukong GOTY nomination be like:

So moderators agree that the game is present on the list by sheer virtue of its high quality? Finally, some common sense. I think another Era poster said it best:

It is funny to see how some people are salty about the game's success. All the devs did was make some nasty online comments, and people acted like it was some kind of Activision/Blizzard kind of deal. Not saying that those comments have nothing wrong with it, but the impact is really minor in nature.

Oh wait...

What a dire year for videya games.

I wouldn't know. I haven't played any of these. Actually, I don't think I have played a single game that came out in 2024

balatro is fucking incredible

it's so tightly designed, perfectly scored, addictive, gameplay in its purest form

it's like tetris

This is a gross take. Get out of here with the vote shaming. If people couldn't support a genocide enabler at the polls, that's their business

Trump withheld aid to Palestinians that Biden restored in 2021. Biden held back arms and threatened Israel. In the other thread people were saying Biden will rot in hell for what he did. We're about to really see how bad it gets for Palestine. All those protest voters are going to reap what they wanted. It's so sad.

Funny how of all the people voicing their displeasure on DLC being eligible, you reply to the woman to tell her that her no one cares about her opinion. 🙃

Yes. Or not introduce Adolph Hitler and his high command of Holocaust architects to the game as a tech tree reward. Because of how they tried to kill every Jew on the planet a few generations ago and antisemitism is currently in vogue again among Christians. I feel like it's fairly obvious.

lol this forum is so fucking retarded man hahah. he says "christians" but in reality it is the white left-wing hamas dickriders and muslims, and is either too retarded to say it or just afraid to

The far left. Famously religious. 

[DavidCroquet]

If you know someone who voted for Trump, cut them off, shun them, inform their employers and never let them live it down.

If you know someone who chose not to vote and thereby enabled Trump to win, well, we all have, like...opinions and stuff man. Just be chill and go with the flow! Like, vote-shaming is hella uncool man...the vibes are just not it...some people are just radical! They don't really "do" accountability and whatever. What are you, some kinda narc?

EDIT: Also peeping in that thread reminded me of this dynamic

Pre-election:
: Biden is bad on this issue, but Trump will be worse.
: We're not talking theoreticals here. Genocide is happening Now!

Post-election:
: Biden is bad on this issue, but Trump will be worse.
: Oh so NOW you care about Genocide, talk about MASK OFF. Just like an opportunistic Liberal to care about an issue only when it scores points in some internet argument!

I always say if you don't vote you don't have the right to complain.
It is your one opportunity to change things. Even if you write in Mickey Mouse in protest that still counts as a vote of making your voice heard.

Why would you throw away the one important perk of living in a Democracy?

disagree, you do not have to have a hand in creating something in order to complain about it

like saying "if you didn't get a job working for marvel and work to fix their internal culture and storytelling, you have no right to complain about marvel movies"

if you paid for something, like a movie ticket, and quality is not satisfactory then you can complain

and we all pay taxes

an individual vote doesn't even matter in most states, there are avenues to actually having a difference on the election if you're willing to devote time and energy to it, it's not "all" you can do, an era-type person could easily move the goalposts and say if all you did was vote then you don't get to complain either

Astro Bot will win many awards and then Sony will shutter the studio because it only sold 1.5 million copies

Don't put that evil on Astro!

I bet they actually made good money off of the game. Japanese developers are a lot cheaper to higher than EU/US, and you can probably crunch them til they pop. It certainly made more money than Lego Horizon!

Yeah, but they are not doing a live service game or epic AAA sad dad game, so fuck them.

Disagree. 

The Marvel example isn't relevant because you're a customer not a stakeholder. 

Not voting is more like being a Disney shareholder and not voting in AGMs and then complaining about the direction Marvel movies are taking under the current leadership.

What the hell did I do...again? Last time I was just searching for chainsaws and ended up with ass shots for the next 6 weeks. I was just about to search for some VOIP stuff for work (seirously I was) but then all the Thumbnails are just...well you know what it is. But how does it know? I'm trying to work over here YouTube, just play morning sport show highlights when I'm at work please.


It seems searching for random shit doesn't fix the issue as well as it used to.

just broadly everyone has the right to complain about anything they want at any time, I'm not sure who thinks they can enforce denial of that right
