I was under the impression things like allowing blind people, or disabled etc, with accessibility features was what this category was for?
Pretty sure it has nothing to do with DEI woke crap.

Accessibility for disabled gamers is part of “equity & inclusion” and was originally one of the main focus of that dept.
Only recently did they shift focus to gender and race-swapping to fulfill that checkbox.

Yup. As far as I know accessibility is about actual accessibility options: Adjustable hud size, text to speech options, customizable controls, colorblind mode, holding down a button instead of mashing, etc.
The "most woke game" award it the "games for impact" category.

Silent Hill 2, 5 GOTY nominations, but not in the running. Yet ones with 4 are.
And a DLC over another game like Helldivers 2 with the same noms.
Retarded.

That category has a noble idea but sadly especially in the west there is so much for pushing and forcing agenda.

Okay fuck it, I'm sorry yall but I love this list. Even Unicorn Overlord gets recognized. Veilguard basically nowhere(accessibility) and I mean, fucking right.
The only thing to bitch about is maybe Erdtree kicking Silent Hill 2 out of goty, but honestly, if that is the worst thing that happened, we won bigtime.
Another rare incel victory. To come in here and complain....about this!?

Real test here is gonna be how the actual show is this year. We all expect it to be a three hour toy commercial. That aside, it remains to be seen how virtuous and left-coded the show will be. Will we have people accepting awards through windows with surgical masks? Will we get entire segments about the gay dude who has no legs and vitiligo opening up an indie studio or some shit?
Will there be a plug for an online gaming focused "boys club national hotline," in case somebody calls you a noob and says they're gonna fuck your mom. How many indie titles with anthropomorphic furry proxies will be debuted?
These are all fascinating things to essentially make a counter out of. If TGA 24 is shown to be more game focused and less game DEVELOPER virtue signal nonsense. Something happened in the US recently, I think something with a McDonald's worker, and it's produced sweeping changes already in public figures' behavior and level of condescension, so let's see how it's gonna fall this year, bros.

I felt completely lost with the content creator and esports categories. It’s like a side of gaming I will never care about.

True...was mostly a weird year sofar. But if you go by popularity just sales wise...it should be Wukong and nothing else, right?

After seeing some people saying P.T. is the best horror game of all time.
I can't say i'm shocked to see a DLC being a nominee for GOTY.

If you go by popularity Fortnite, Minecraft, GTA V or whatever would win every year-

No, as games only release once in a certain year.

Hey, we now have DLCs as GOTY contenders, why not old games every year next?

No need to apologize to me, I just said I think that’s what’s going to win (not that I agree with it).
That said, why’s it a joke to you? It reviewed very well and has a much wider audience than either game you mentioned.
pudel
Member
Yeah...why not just abort this whole shit show....absolutely agree.
I know a lot of people here like the game. For me this game is basically on Nintendo level childish...give it thousands game of the year awards....I wouldnt touch it. And what do you mean with wider audience? Astrobot sold 1.5mil copies....Wukong sold alone on PC 20mil copies...I dont know how much additionally on consoles. There is nothing even close to these numbers this year.

Wukong shouldn't even be nominated.

I wouldn't count on GTA. Death Stranding is as safe a bet as there is though.

Baffles me how anyone can actually think this is an awards show for actual merit.
It's all about whatever can put the most cash in Geoff's back pocket.
Also:
'esports athlete'.

Thinks Microaggressions are Real
Also, we're all so distracted with Elden Ring DLC in GOTY category, when the most fucked up omission is No Man's Sky not nominated for Best Ongoing Game.
The game had like 5 updates this year alone(including Worlds Part 1 & Aquarius), added 8k support for PS5 Pro, cross-save, managed to increase player count. All of that at absolutely zero cost to anyone who owns the game.
Dawntrail, widely considered one of the worst FF14 expansions, an expansion that wrecked a bunch of jobs, sidelined some of the game's best characters and introduced one of the worst characters in video games is up there.

Wukong is definitely some kind of joke.
I have feeling GTA 6 will have a trailer in TGA 2024. But I could be wrong.

I could be misremembering recent history but Rockstar usually does their own thing when it comes to marketing.

The list is pretty much as expected. Rebirth, Astro Bot and Metaphor were nailed on as most predicted.
Elden Ring was going to be included if it were eligible, which it now is, and Balatro was seen as an outside bet of sneaking in.
Wukong was only included to appease the Chinese and rabid grifters on Gaming Twitter until game day in a few weeks. Then when it inevitably doesn't win, they can rage all the way through until Xmas about how the CCP were robbed.

Kinda weird to limit GOTY to just 6 games. Could’ve gotten rid of the DLC and just throw in the other 4 games with 4 noms to make it 10 games.
Anyway looking forward to The Game Ads 2024.
This is rigged!!!
