Only robbery was for Best RPG. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was, by definition, THE RPG! Other than that, I was expecting E33 to win. I preferred Hades 2 for my GOTY, but E33 was still a great game.

As far as announcements go, strong opening with the likes of Star Wars: FOTOR and Divinity, but......the second half announcements were kinda on the weak side by comparison? Stoked for a new Ace Combat, finally, and Mega Man, but are those really second half of a show worthy? Then that choice for a closer

My main surprise was the lack of Sega outside of that great Total War reveal. After the release of Shinobi, I figured 1 or 2 of the IP revivals would've been shown off here.

Not that I gave the video game version of MTV Awards much credence but NG4 deserved best action game but whatever.

The budget was only 10 million according to sandfall

Still annoyed that they not only nominated Clair Obscur for both indie awards, but also gave them the actual thing. Categories supposed to be for small dev teams with small budgets just trying to create something and put it out there... Imagine how that feels for the Blue Prince devs to lose that award, or rather, how it would've felt for them to win it. Instead the show became a huge Clair Obscur circlejerk-fest to the point that it got a little embarrassing, I know Sandfall is technically an independent team and they took a gamble on this game but they had a huge budget compared to other indies. They still deserve most of the awards they got, just wish this event would've given some light to smaller studios - especially on the awards that were supposedly made for them.

E33 did win for ost and bf6 won for sound design

Clair Obscur E33 deserved it however. 

Death Stranding 2 should have won best art direction and there should be a separate award for best art. Cause they keep awarding for art and not direction. Regardless of whether it makes sense to the story there are floating, streamer climbing game assets in many areas of E33 and a whole heck of a lot of refused assets and even then Yotei should probably win a best art award with Death Stranding 2 taking a best graphics award. 

I didn't even play much into KCD2 and I know that should have won best RPG Just based on the emergent story, the choices and complexity of it. 

Sound also needs two categories. E33 should have won best OST and perhaps Battlefeild deserves sound design.

That's why it won. There over 1.4 billion people that would have voted.. they tend to only vote for their own games and nothing else. No game can compete with that ..

Most indie games (especially debut indies) are made on less than 1% of that.
