It is once again time for the Shill Awards. Designated shitposting thread, and bellyache about the state of "gaming" as a whole. Geoff's site is currently sucking dick at the moment (https://thegameawards.com/nominees) and even Ghost Archive is throwing up errors.

Here's the category everyone cares about:

Of particular note is the fact that, aside from the Sonyslop, indie games swept the nominations:

However, if you sort by publisher it's more abundantly clear who owns this show:

(Also AC: Shadows' only nomination was for Innovations in Accessibility. Figures, you'd have to be disabled to like that game. :lit:)

Why do they refuse to limit the nominations to one per game?

Funny, the gamejournos would rather nominate Critikal than Asmongold.
 
(wet farting sound made by putting palms of hands against mouth)

Also, not even a voice nod to the Breaking Bad guy for Dispatch? Damn.

Edit: oh, and Look Outside was robbed.

No Europa Universalis 5? Very niggerlicious.
 
My vote is for HK:Silksong, but Expedition 33 seems the most likely to win and I’d much prefer that it does over the non-aforementioned nominees.

Also, vote for the funny peanut to win best e-celeb

Here to out the Dorito Pope before he sucks Koji's inverted asian cock live on stage. What a mess... the fact DSII is even up for GOTY shows the man's fetish openly and for all to see. Get this wannabe hollyjew asspat ceremony out of my games industry. AFUERA!

Place your bets for every category.
GOTY: Clair Obscur:Expedition 33. I'd rather Silksong, but that's not happening.
Best Game Direction: Death Stranding 2. A consolation prize for Sony.
Best Narrative: DS2 or Ghost of Yotei. I really don't care about the winner here.
Best Art Direction: Clair Obscur. Maybe Hades 2, but I doubt it.
Best Score & Music: I actually think Christopher Larkin will get this.
Best Audio Design: Clair Obscur or DS2.
Best Performance: The 3 nominations for Clair Obscur make me think it won't win it. Uhhh... Ghost of Yotei VA.
Best Independent Game: stands to reason that whatever indie wins GOTY wins this, so Clair Obscur.
Best Debut Independent Game: what a blow out. Clair Obscur.
Games for Impact: nigger category.
Best Action Game: Hades 2 or Doom: The Dark Ages.
Best Action/Adventure Game: Silksong. It's going to win one of its best x game categories. Most likely this one.
Best Role-Playing Game: Clair Obscur. See my prediction for best indie for my reasoning.
Best Sim/Strategy Game: FFT or Civ 7 because those are the recognizable ones to whatever "judges" exist for this show.
Best Fighting Game: 2XKO because it's the one with seemingly the most discussion around it right now.
Best Family Game: DK Bananza or Mario Kart World. Tendie privilege.
Best Sports/Racing Game: Mario Kart World. Definitely Mario Kart if it wins the family category.
Best Multiplayer: BF6 or Nightreign. Leaning towards Nightreign due to FS still having clout.
Best Ongoing Game: Marvel Rivals. Still hot today without being as stale of a topic as Fortnite.
Best Community Support: BG3 or NMS. The "end-goodening" of NMS is one of the most nigger-cattle narratives to come out of gaming ever. BG3 is a former GOTY with free updates.
Best VR/AR Game: Alien or Deadpool. Recognizable IPs.
Best Mobile Game: Umamusume. Most popular one this year.
Innovation in Accessability: Niggasuke has it in the bag.
Best Adaptation: A Minecraft Movie. They'll do it to be hip with the chicken jockey memes.
Best Esports Game: nigger category.
Best Esports Athlete: nigger category.
Best Esports Team: nigger category.
Content Creator of The Year: double nigger category.
Most Anticipated Game: GTA 6, a game for niggers.
Keep in mind this is who I think will win. Not who I want to win.

they better bring back statler and waldorf to shit on them the whole time

 
E33 is by far the safest bet for GOTY because it wasn't a faggot mess, were by journoscum HADES 2 would take the cake but they have to pretend to be of repute.

i don't think dorito pope wants to waste money on them, he might bring some other cameo though with him trying to turn the gayme awards into a OSCARS like shit.
 
I really hope that the Devil May Cry “adaptation” doesn’t win, if only so I don’t have to see Adi Shankar act all smug about “beating the fanbase.”

I’m guessing that Expedition 33 will win. A good choice, but I also fear that it will be used once again as a way to put down JRPGs by the media.

Also, I’m surprised to see so many people on other sites be so dismissive of Donkey Kong Bananza, calling it a “game for toddlers and Nintendo manbabies.”
 
Nintendo has such a fucking shitshow for development now, Donkey Kong Bananza is great.. but there was a time they were banging out hit after hit after hit every year, and now Mario is like a Bicentennial release, and even then half of them are straight baby games, their direct satellite dev's like Gamefreaks couldn't make a good game to save their souls and are entirely held up by brand loyalty.

Eh, guess its not like the rest of the industry is doing better, AA studios and straight up Indie Studios are rocking their shit, smaller studios like the ones who made ARC Raiders and E33 are clowning on multi-billion dollar 500+ man teams.. the Jeetification and Soyification of the mainstream industry is complete.

E33 and Silksong are the clear winners of the year, I know that fag will want Death Stranding 2 to win but it was middling.
 
This year I'll be playing a drinking game where you take a shot every time you see a black male/white female interracial couple depicted in any of the game advertisements shown.

It will probably win because the gamejournos loved the very dated social commentary with the Green Day song.
