Now, there's no need to bash on games for no good reason. I don't know if Death Stranding is a good game or not, but from what I've seen it is definitely not formulaic, it's unlike anything else out there, for better or worse. Sekiro I suppose is more formulaic, if we can consider the Souls stuff a formula, but it was still a notable game in its own right. The ones that definitely didn't deserve to be there were Control and Outer Worlds, I hadn't even heard of either of them prior to their nomination. Everyone speaks so highly of Fire Emblem, I guess it could be mentioned in for one of those, and personally I think Astral Chain should've gotten the nod too - it losing out to DMC V on the action game category possibly indicating that DMC itself was robbed of a spot too, everyone loves that game. I actually have no idea what Outer Worlds and Control were doing in there, to be frank. And by the way, I'm a From Software hater. It's all about knowing when to put your bias aside, and I wholeheartedly believe Smash should have been game of the year, no bias. |
Wasn't bashing? Just said they are formulaic and don't really bring anything new to the gaming industry. If you include those games then they should include games like CoD, lol. Smash is formulaic to a certain extent but the developers of that game seem to push the boundaries of what is possible with that formula. Same with games like Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion. I just personally don't get excited for PS/Xbox games anymore. It's a yearly basis of copycat Action/Action-Adventure/Shooter/Sports games from those consoles. And I still can't believe the way the categories that Nintendo won were handled.
