The Game Awards 2023 Nominees | Announcement Thread

[KiryuRealty]

Yup, I remember those E3 presentations where Sony would have three clear categories of exclusives "exclusive = true exclusivity, timed exclusive = money had to hold the game from other consoles for some time, console exclusive = the game is on PC but not other consoles" .... and MS only had "exclusives", trying to fool people into buying their console on mis-representation.

Never forget "I wouldn't say it's a timed exclusive, but it is a deal that has a duration".

Most Xbots were around for that, they are just in denial of reality and repeat the party line that Xbox, for whom the term "moneyhat" was coined, never paid for all the exclusives they bought to try to kill PlayStation in the 360 era, or all the marketing deals that led to shit like COD DLC being held back for a month on PS and the GTA IV DLC being delayed for PS3 for a full year and Rockstar not even being allowed to acknowledge they'd come to PS3 until a few months before their releases on the platform.

That's really the worst part of it, the blatant dishonesty of Xbox marketing and the complicity of those they buy off. The fanboys are only aping the behaviour of their beloved Phil.

And they all pretend like exclusive deals is some great evil that PlayStation invented.

Someone created an HD Remaster

They fucked up, Xenoblade 3 had ladt year's nom, not Xenoblade 2.

I just love the inability to comprehend the idea of natural exclusives, the situations where market conditions or system capabilities just make it either impossible or just bad business for a game to be on multiple platforms.

Some Xbox fans think all Sony exclusives since the PS1 were paid for, which is utterly absurd.

This is amazing for a game that everyone was praising but didn’t bother to play. Xbox fanboys don’t belong in gaming or GOTY Discussions.

I wouldn't say it's surprising it's a very niche genre despite all the praise it got , I'm not personally interested in it but it's sad that Microsoft decided to take it away from other systems because it could've been alot more successful especially Nintendo it would fit right at home on the switch

So they were bragging about 2 million players….while over 1 million players didn’t even play for more than an hour?

I feel bad for Tango, HiFi Rush deserved a lot more, no wonder Mikami bounced.

Hmm Spidey 2 is the only new game SIE publish this year, except for FFXVI which SIE publish in some countries

Been a dry year honestly.

Horizon COTM as well. But 2023 is the best year to be dry, there was way too much. There are several games I’ve bought day 1 and still haven’t started

 

[Johnic]

When will they announce Shill of the Year noms?

It'll take a few more years to accumulate all the nominees. Xbox has so many that it'll take a while.

They simultaneously want to bully everyone by throwing money around and buying everything in sight and play the victim by blaming everyone else when things don't go their way.

Xbox tax = gaming community's unwillingness to accept the mediocrity the Xbox fanboys celebrate, which is unfair in their eyes. What they fail to realize is when Xbox organically releases something worth praise they will get credit but until then...

A game that nobody remember anymore…

Shit like that from MS internal sources is something to remember when people wonder why their fanbase is so insanely toxic.

 

[historia]

Hmm I did some research, for the record, both Sony and Nintendo has at least one game since the event was initially started back in 2015.

2015:
Sony: 1, Nintendo: 1, and Kojihack lose that year muahahahhahaha
2016:
Sony:1
2017:
Sony:1, Nintendo: 2, Nintendo won that year
2018:
Sony: 2, Movie game won that year.
2019:
Sony:1, Nintendo: 1, Kojihack lose that year muahahahhahaha part 2
2020:
Sony:2, Nintendo:1, Gorilla win that year
2021:
Sony:1, Nintendo:1, Green base "got" one but still a multiplatform after buyout.
2022:
Sony:2, Nintendo:1, good Miyazaki won that year.
2023:
Sony:1, Nintendo:2, Zelda of the year lessgo



Nothing much but I love seeing the green base got left out for 10 years staright

The whining is coming from inside the house

Beyond the pale pathetic coming from their own first party studios to behave like this. I saw where an xbox super soldier said the Game awards is purposefully excluding xbox because theyre not wanted or something.
