How am I going to follow the story if I don't play the first first?

The story in the TLOU2 is a start to end… it gives you the background you need to play.

That is why it is a new game lol

You can buy it today, play it without ever buying TLOU and get the whole story of the game.

Do you do t know the difference between entry games and DLCs?

I'm one of those true gamers, you know. They come out with Horizon: Forbidden West and while the graphics look sweet I can't just SKIP Horizon: Zero Dawn, can I? It's a continuation of the same story. Why would I just skip ahead?

It's like you say about the Elden Ring DLC... you need 30-40 hours because who's going to CHEAT by skipping right to it using online guides? Well, if online guides are cheating I'm certainly not going to SPEND MONEY to skip ahead in a game's story to part 2 am I? We're not CHEATERS, right?

@ethomaz fighting the good fight.

Personally I would nominate an Expansion.
Shoutout to two of my biggest childhood games: Starcraft: Brood War and Warcraft 3:The Frozen Throne.

These true gamers that cheat to reach the DLC fast than actually it was designed using guides? Lol

Or tell people that Tears of the Kingdom is the same game as Breath of the Wild when even the whole game engine was new, to not say story, gameplay, weapons, events, areas, characters, etc?

I don’t believe you.

Who said I did that? I was arguing to you it's possible. Because you said it's REQUIRED to play for 30-40 hours, and that's not true. I did not argue that's how I did it.

[Gediminas]

if i could, 6 games would take 1st place

 

[Nym]

Concord is clearly the winner there, one of the largest losses of all time

looking more objectively, biggest losers are Dragon Age and Suicide Squad when you take into account the Studios involved, IP name and budget.

Game and studio trooned out 41% style almost immediately LMAO I think that takes the cake

Hey, stop editing your posts, I almost miss this stuff you say. I didn't say TOTK is the same game as BOTW. I called it BOTW DLC. I think it's very large, very well done DLC. I don't know what new game engine means, it's the Lunchpak one they used for splatoon to my knowledge, plays exactly the same as BOTW except it has silly physics stuff. New story? SOTE has that. Gameplay? SOTE has that. Weapons? SOTE has that. Events? Not sure what this refers to, like what are the TOTK events? New areas? YES, SOTE is entirely new areas, all of it, 100%, TOTK is not 100% new areas, it has new areas though, for sure. Characters? YUP, there are no repeated NPCs in SOTE, no bosses you saw in the base game either, TOTK is full of NPCs and enemies you fought before though.

If I can't select it from an OS main menu then it's not a 2024 new game experience. This is very important to me.

Loved Concord but who the FUCK came up with that design for Bazz

 

[Johnic]

If we're not vigilant about this then we could be looking at DLC cosmetics packs as COTY guys

Man, this year was great. 100 FIFA points won GOTY! My favorite!

 

[Cool hand luke]

Not enough Xbox (like every year). Nothing Nintendo. Everything playable on PS5=WORST YEAR EVER for Crybaby Buttkiss, chief editor of IGN

[arvfab]

Neither deserves GOTY, the left one, because it's simply not worth of the tiltle, the other one because it's a non-standalone expansion.

 

[Gediminas]

Still, it is a DLC and shouldn't be nominated as GOTY.
That said, it is great DLC, no one is denying that.

 

[Vertigo]

“Standalone” lmfao.

I see the semantics game evolving…

ALL Destiny expansions are standalone and bought a la carte.

So… what’s the next argument?

I definitely think it's a weird criteria. Everything you need to do to enter the DLC is part of the DLC story it's not like it's some ridiculous requirement what they're asking you to do it's not arbitrary.
