I'm sorry but..."Veilguard writing is a matter of taste"? More like lack thereof in case of the lady that was defending it... I honestly didn't think ANYONE here would be insane enough to suggest Veilguard as GOTY. I'm just gonna assume she has a concussion or something...
lmao, Greg is hilarious, but yeah, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is game of the year. Can't believe it barely got any love at the game awards, I personally think it's just, all around, on another level as far as games go this year.
@ that’s dope! glad it’s getting that recognition, just feel like it’s the total package as far as games go this year. feel like it not being on PC hurt it a bit, but Astro Bot isn’t either so idk.
3 hrs in this argument for ff7 rebirth i love. I thought the whole time “how is this game made and real”. The side content and open world is optional. I skipped most of it. Amazing masterpiece
Andy's right, Metaphor is ugly as fuck. when i first played, i turned it off after an hour because it hurt my eyes. Insane aliasing issues, super noisy shaders, over abundance of magla particles everywhere etc. My girlfriend came into the room once and immediately said it was giving her a headache to look at. I pushed through it in the end and got used to it, but it's rough as hell. its skates by on art direction just on characters and UI flare
I'm also glad somebody here has DA The Veilguard as their game of the year. While I'm not done with it yet, and it's not my personal GoTY, I'm having an amazing time with it. It's my first full DA game outside of about 20 or so hours of Inquisition which could be why seeing as how I have no history with the franchise but the hate for the game has me so confused at times. Outside of a few cringy dialogue sequences and questionable story beats, I'm loving it, the story is entertaining and I love the cast of characters. The combat is easily my favorite thing, decided to go Warrior on my first play through and it's just a blast, can't wait to try Rouge and Mage. Outside of combat I love how my Rook feels like the main character of the game and not just a character I created, Bioware did a great job at making your character feel like the main character for sure. Overall a great game, and the hate is wild in my opinion. Can't wait to finish it.
Astro Bot is one of the best platform jumping games, but I really disagree with TGA's approach to balancing between media and players. The media clearly tends to favor creative works from major game companies rather than the gameplay itself. According to many media standards, there are a lot of independent games each year that are better choices for awards, but the media often chooses to ignore these games.
The invisible walls you complained about in Wukong in terms of level design are only in Chapter 1, which is mostly linear. They largely disappear in chapter 2, are gone by chapters 3-5, and chapter 6 is semi-open world. The level design changes from each chapter. Destin didn't do the best job selling the game or corrected this when you brought it up. I was yelling at the screen lol. I implore you to try getting back into the game you so can see for yourself why its so beloved.
I really wish you would have had Maximillian Dood to talk about rebirth. Has great viewpoints on ff7 as well as games in general especially fighting games
49:41 andy with the best take right there, elden ring shoulda took best art direction, metaphor is not it. If rebirth was on there, woulda picked that over everything else.
I'm really with Andy on that one, Metaphor is UGLY. The description of art direction includes animations and I'm sorry but besides the anime scenes which are few and far between, the animation work is just not up there with Rebirth whatsoever. Certainly not up there with From. People get wowed by the UI, but the best part of the art for me is the character portraits. The in-game models are just so middling.
god the comments at the girl who voted DAV as goty was something else lol i think ya people forgot is was her personal goty no one cares if you think it was bad game she liked it and that what matters
and that's fine. the game objectively was OK. she thought it was game of the year....I mean fine. not that deep. BUT defending the writing, and saying it's a matter of taste...says more about her than about the game.,
Greg Miller won.
Who?
The Oreo guy?
Damn i have a lot of time without hearing him
As a Pakistani tekken fan watching this, big +100 points to Blessing for mentioning Pakistan!!
Andy sounding like Sean Harris when he was talking about Erdtree at the beginning of the stream… cracking me up
Starts at 2:57
Thanks boss

Greg turned this into a Roast 😅😅😅
Astro BOT is the Game Of The Year in my head and at The Game Awards. Marvel Rivals is the Game Of The Year in my heart.

It won a bunch if golden joysticks

FF7 Rebirth is GOTY.
Fight me.
Time and place, hobo. Let's go.
@@SupahNerd *FFVII battle theme starts*
Doubtful. But some gamers love cash grabs.
@@kritikalgamer If you truly think Rebirth is a cash grab there's no way you've played it lol
@misterhoobomaster I'm not going to argue irrelevant information. I've had FF7 fans admit it is a cash grab, but they still like it.
Greg won

Jirard joke is hilarious
Janet FTW! She always puts the work in.
My favorite game was nine souls. Its hollow knight with sekiro combat. Sad didn't get any recognition
Astro is my GOTY but I will say I am interested in trying a few of these I missed like UFO 50 or Dragon Age
UFO 50 is really great but also very difficult since it’s all 80s games
My one takeaway from this… everyone from kinda funny is funny af.
dragons dogma 2 was goty and it isn't even close
I love Andy the best haha
Oof what a cheap shot from gregg with that completionist+skill up picture 😅
Cool to see Adam Cole 😮
All i played this year was dragon age and ff7. Ff7 is my goty.
TETRIS won, just like every year. what is everyone talking about?
2024 game of the year is indiana jones

Nah, DLCs don't deserve awards over new projects. Absolutely deserve the praise, though.
@@Kingdom850 just in terms of what they nominated at game awards but i agree dlcs should only be in a "best expansion/dlc" category

Too long

can you invite asmongold here? lol
No
that would've been amazing lol, but yeah media hates asmon, they won't risk their brand by collabing with asmon
I don’t hate Asmon and am not concerned about my brand. Sure, I’ll ask him next year!
@@AlanahStreams next year as in January 2025 or after next year's game awards lol?
