well the awards were based on character and main plot. those categories clearly beat elden ring, but for overall game? elden ring slams ragnorak into the ground. it has more replayability, more gameplay features, online multiplayer and isn't platform exclusive. (btw elden ring won goty anyway nerd)
Charlie, it is mainly the toxic parts of the genshin community, or really any game community that will attack you for not voting their game. If you like a certain mobile game and want to vote for it, more power to you. Most of the genshin reddit seems pretty chill with whoever you are voting for.
Elden ring had a bigger impact on gaming and me personally then GoW will ever have. The first time entering the map and discovering just how big the game is without a walk through was the most memorable experience in my life. Discovering and learning a bosses movesets or trying out interesting and unique weapons was just amazing. You can have your opinions but nitpicking everything about a game to prove your point just infuriates.
Discovering Siofra River was one of the biggest jaw-dropping moments in gaming for me. And then the game went and sends you to Caelid when opening that chest in the ruins and you're like "holy shit this is a big map" and then you beat Godrick and go to Liurnia and say the same thing and continue to do so until Mountaintop of the Giants
Elden Ring really just repopularized what Dark Souls 3 already did I think, I loved the game but I think God of War Ragnarok has a lot more to offer in terms of uniqueness. Elden ring is a fantastic culmination of the souls games and blood borne with a more ambitious map and a shit ton of great bosses, but it really is just bigger. Ragnarok tells a story in a way I've never seen a game tell a story before, it managed to tell a story about family in redemption while you git beat the shit out of by a dude with a lightning hammer and struck a balance no other game has pulled off yet. Whats better is up to opinion but impact on gaming would have ti go to GoW for me
@Chris Johnson elden ring is overall a masterpiece but the bosses were just a major step down after 3 consecutive games with many phenomenal bosses that didnt need the most insane visuals to be memorable
Edgerunners vs arcane is a tough call. Edgerunners made me want to play cyberpunk again, but arcane hooked me in without making me feel the need to play league at all
@13 faces lol, thats not how it works, its the opposite, the fewer ratings the easier it is for it to get a high rating. the top show on imdb is planet earth which has less ratings than arcane but is nr 1. go cry again boozo
Everyone remembers "Death can have me when it earns me", and rightfully so... But who here remembers this gem: "KRATOS! YOU'RE ON FIRE!!!" "It will pass."
Personally when it came to like best game for newcomers I went to the Quarry because you don't need to really understand game mechanics other than react to things and look at your options and you play the game there is no technically bad choice since it's a choice base game I feel like those who vote last of us are already Last of Us fans who get another person who hasn't played last of us to play that game and God of War is literally a sequel so I don't know why it's in that category cuz I watch berleezy and he proves what I think about Ragnarok and that is simply you will get lost on references if you did not play the game completely
I think I would have personally chosen Edgerunners with how much it totally resurrected it’s source content. Completely turned Cyberpunk from shit to the shit.
Elden ring and GOW are 2 different games and its hard to compare the 2 so its more of who has perfected their game more but in reality its not its who's game type is more popular which elden ring crushes god of war at. Its an open world with a master piece design, an insane amount of bosses and little easter eggs, secret places to go to and multiple endings too. The boss ost's are know to be unique and amazing. Plus you can spend alot of time playing it and still have a ton of stuff to do in it which is what you want the most from a game etc......... Its like everything you want in a game is there. GOW is an amazing game too except its just a strict story and certain stuff you have to do to finish the story and thats it. Everything else is god tier too, but elden ring's game style is just miles above.
@Gavin Schaber its combo of what I said and what you said. Also if you think about it my point and your point are the same thing pretty much so yh you're right
funnily enough ludwig and cutie bought their ways into that category, i dont see enough people calling out how sus that this couple are both in the list when many other creators were so much better.
elden ring music was god tier imo, but i understand why people would overlook it because its hard to pay attention to the music when ur trying ur best to roll out of waterfowl dance
It’s cuz the only people who are serious about wanting a certain game to win are no life basement dwellers, in reality Sonic and genshin impact shouldn’t win anything they’re both trash.
1:35 as someone who's loved God of war since i was 2 years old watching my brother play it, no they didn't ruin kratos they clearly improved him that guy just has a childish mindset of if jts not the same it's worse we would be tired of angry kratos as shown in gow ascension
Tbh Charlie did the voting right also for best indie game cult of the lamb was super good but it wasn’t anything special plenty of games just like it I woulda chose sifu it was just really good
im so surprised that splatoon 3 won best multiplayer going against overwatch 2 and modern warfare 2. personally i do think that splatoon's multiplayer is better than both of these games and i put 4 times as much hours into splatoon 3 compared to either of the other games, but i figured by sheer number of players that splatoon 3 didnt have a chance against the free to play cross platform giants that are mw and ow
@bananashapedorange oh God your hilarious. I’ve played every single fromsoft game as well. The difference between us is that you are the actual embodiment of the reason why everyone hates us fans. You talk like a redditor and that’s not a good thing. “Infantile” God man stop being so cringe. I play Xbox but if u wanna get your ass handed to you then lmk. I’m sure you will just use rivers of blood anyways.
@Gray Stark I can guarantee I am better at the game than you are. no really. because your comment somehow suggests that elden ring is a challenge. elden ring is an infantilely easy game. I have beaten ds1, ds3, bb, and er. actually, if you're on ps4 drop your gt and I'll pvp you. the game is mid. I'm sure your first fromsoft experience left you feeling magical but I assure you its all copy and pasted from previous experiences.
@bananashapedorange well sucks to be wrong. And it’s hard to argue when everyone disagrees. Just cause you couldn’t make it past the first boss doesn’t mean the game is bad. Get fucked
@Bigdude 0007 fake news? the fake news is that elden ring is a "perfect" game, its low quality. might be enough for people who don't even play souls games, since the entire game is just pandering to that audience. if you like it, cool, but such a cheap idea doesnt deserve goty. it deserves to be forgotten
THANK YOU CHARILE. Tbh, Edgerunners was fucking great, but I have to say Arcane. Edgerunners flaws are just a lot more apparent than Arcane, even though I feel like the finale of Edgerunners was great in a subversion of expectations
@13 faces EXPLAIN, MATE. Like, I ain't trying to be rude (sorry if it comes across that way), but if you're gonna say something about a show, so many people like, at least give some example. And hey, while you're at it, tell us a better animation show/adaptation. Edgerunners is good, but for every flaw Arcane has, Edgerunners has a lot more of it.
@Jay Scott Thanks for the definition. I feel like you don't need research to know what ADAPTATION MEANS, but clearly some people are stupid and truly do.
God of war pretty easily should win I’d say it’s 70-30 split with elden ring and I doubt there’s anything else worth mentioning right now Lolol. I mean if dying light 2 had come out like that e3 demo from like 3 years ago maybe there could have been some competition but as per usual the video game is a way overhyped B- than too much was promised and mostly cut out of the final version. Ragnarok didn’t do that clearly. They set a standard and exceeded it which is probably why for most all open world games are the same thing…that said elden ring was great but personally I enjoyed 30 hours of ragnarok more than 160 hours of elden ring and that has to mean props for god of war and also it’s unreal the polish that Sony games get without a million delays and bugs. Look at dying light 2 and cyberpunk for examples of what everyone else was doing while god of war crushing it.
If the Joystick Awards are anything to go off of them Elden Ring will landslide. I'm aware our votes don't matter for this shit show but for the Joystick Awards it does, and Elden Ring got double the votes as God of War and was so good it SOMEHOW won best multiplayer.
Can we take a second to appreciate that RL was able to get Charlie to overcome his fear of flying, across the ocean no less, for the first time in 5 years
Huh? Pretty sure that flight made it worse dude. There was crazy air turbulence and that kinda freaked him out. Also a reason he wasn't feeling like meeting anyone there.
Thanks for mentioning the Sonic Frontiers OST being missing. Actually such a shame, it's definitely one of the best Sonic Soundtracks ever and thats saying something considering the series.
@Obi the BEEF tbh man, I really don't give a shit about any awards & I don't understand why anyone really does. I don't understand awards for any kind of art, and games are now very much a form of art. Art is subjective & that means the only opinion that matters is yours/mine/any individual's. Any comments I've made are based on my understanding of how awards work. Even from that perspective, I don't think either of those games should have gotten any recognition whatsoever. They're both total duds in my opinion - I've said my pieve about Sonic, as for Scorn, I think it's outright plaigerism - that's not 'influenced by' Giger's work - that's bits of Giger's work straight up copied & re-jigged. I'm a huge Giger fan, I sell art, have worked with a lot of his stuff & been a lifelong fan. I'm appalled at how they stole his creations & made a lot of money off the back of it - the stolen art is the only reason that game got the attention it did. I'm surprised his estate didn't sue. They bloody well should have.
@Dave Milligan In my opinion, the game doesn’t need to be that great to even be nominated for the best audio designs / soundtrack. Sonic Frontiers has offered one of the best soundtracks in gaming history. Gameplay is pretty basic for open world yes, but soundtrack really made up for it’s solid 5 islands open world and pretty fun combat system. I think it is a crime for Game Awards to not even nominate Sonic Frontiers for that section.
@Greyson Crowe it's a very divisive title. It's a 4/10 for me & as I said before, it's all subjective. If you love it, great - my opinion isn't more valid than yours. I sell art for a living (in many forms) and have for almost 30 years (I started when I was 13) and I think video games are art - if films are, then games are too. So art is subjective & that means no one can really be right or wrong - as I explained before I was absolutely AMAZED people liked this as all I saw was people trashing it as I did it - but as we all know, social media is designed to be an echo chamber, thus we're heavily fed content in line with our own views.
@Chris Perez as a matter of fact I am actually. so I shall not stfu as you have requested. It was also a harmless question get out of here with your high and mighty tone.
@YXIGXOA bruh, its option. imagine you are paralysed or smth, just tell someone to pick the personality traits of the chars to best suit your experience and you got the game played the way you wanna see it.
Honestly as a Xenoblade fan the real win isnt the chance of winning I know its literally impossible what I am happy for is that sweet rendition of the main theme we are gonna get
Again, I'm fine with you giving awards to God of war, but you're not even acknowledging Eldon Ring. You're not going to acknowledge the score of the soundtrack to Elden Ring? They're literally whole Clip-Share channels dedicated to analyzing the composure and score to the olden ring soundtrack. It's a whole community by itself. Geez man
If Elden Rings wins that’s like saying Demon Souls Dark Souls Darksiders wins how weird how they fooled lots of lord of the rings fans it wasn’t the lord of the rings game by using the name rings I played it it shouldn’t win the god of war horizon forbidden west should win why didn’t bandai make it dark souls 4 not to many people like that kind of game
@Marché oh really you don’t say then why doesn’t it say on my PS4 it’s the game of the year oh yeah you must of had a dream it won I believe Sony more then anyone else who won I guess I don’t need to tell you what game won since others told you which they shouldn’t of let you figure it out on your own
@Mazen Elmusa that just proves to me you got a PS5 console the others don’t it’s not hard to see the game of the year game on the PSN store these idiots just don’t own a PS5 still stuck with their old gen PS4 xbox one
@Marché if Elden Ring won why does it say on my PS5 store Horizon Forbidden West won and is the game of the year are you saying Sony PS5 store is a lier 😂
@The Noob Network Yea i dont disagree I wasn't disappointed by the time of god of war but I beat elden ring with ranni ending and some other endings complete for a first play through in about 50 hours but now have over 100 from new game + and other things
@The Noob Network it's also a much deeper narrative that isn't spoon fed to you a lot of its narrative comes from other npcs and tidbits in writing and dialogue and exploration over gow. Elden ring has still kept me entertained more than the 40 or so hours gow has given me. It's not the same at all and the narrative and lore that elden ring and dark souls and bloodborne have had has been a sweep in narrative. It gives something rather than just using real time cinematics to tell the story.
@squishy sausage I don't think play time has ever been a category. God of wars length to me is perfect and tons to do. Elden takes long mainly from the difficulty to me.
ragnarok is not open world like elden ring is elden ring is the perfect open world game with so much more play time. the only reason Ragnarok wins in so many other categories is because there was no categories about play time and things like that it was just which game had better sound or art or story line. and especially for story line ragnarok is literally a story game. Ive played both ragnarok and elden ring and personally elden ring is the better game I have 100s of hours on it but ragnarok is also a very great game
9:34 no man's sky easily wins the vote for me without even thinking about it what they did with the game is just amazing and the work they put to make it good is actually insane
The problem with no man's sky for me, especially now, is that bethesda's version of it is already scheduled for release, and since it's gonna be basically the same thing, just hopefully finished by the deadline... No Man's Sky had it's time, and they missed the mark, not sayin' it wasn't an amazing game way ahead of it's time, but it shouldn't even be in the runnings, regardless of how supportive it's community is.
@kuhaku I have to disagree on that one. The team size is so vastly different. While also pulling out NMS of literal hell, they were bombarded with death threats and their entire workspace completely flooded, losing so much work.
I'm sorry, but I feel Charlie didn't really even listen to most of the elden ring ost's, God of War ragnarok had a great soundtrack, dont get me wrong, and although it was hard, Elden just brings it with the music, it's just more memorable and impacting, the depth of the notes, the choir, it just barley beats ragnarok for me, but I'm still understanding that he or others chose ragnarok, but cmon, Maliketh ost, Godfrey ost, GODSKIN OST, I can go on, but like, cmon you can't tell me the boss ost's aren't super memorable, haha, but eh it's all in fun, it's just my opinion 😅
@Zero totally a good pick. It’s probably the better show. I went with edgerunners mainly because it actually came out this year and I knew it would be hard to beat Arcane. They’re both must watch shows for me tho
When it comes to best adaption, my vote went to Arcane. I loved both Arcane and Cyberpunk but ultimately Arcane did more "adapting" then Cyberpunk. Sure Cyberpunk's world was practically one to one with the game and the theme was same but the story and characters were completely original. Which isn't surprising since the player character can be literally anyone who does whatever they want. Arcane on the other hand, not only got the world down but also worked with existed characters, fleshed them out well, and had a compelling story.
I like that whenever one of the options was Ragnarok, it was usually in the middle where your eyes would be drawn to it, almost like they knew what everyone would pick for most of em.
Sad that Charlie hasn’t played Xenoblade. Absolutely steals the show when it comes to the OST. Understandable it wouldn’t win GOTY, but still super happy it got nominated
@Prisoner849 After GoW Ragnarok I went back and started watching SG1 again thanks to hearing the voice so much. I haven't watched it since I was a kid and I'm genuinely surprised at how creative the writing of each episode is. It manages to be badass and wholesome at the same time.
It's really just cool to see Xenoblade get nominated for things, especially since it'll get to go in the medley. Shame so many people disregard it on sight because of Dunkey and "anime bad"
Regardless if you were trying to pin the blame on his fans specifically, majority of the hate still feels directed towards Dunkey. One thing I appreciate is that he just gives his own opinion and isn’t swayed by shit, that’s what makes his reviews enjoyable.
I'm with Charlie on one thing: GOW Ragnarok did not ruined Kratos's character... On the contrary, they perfected it in an emotional level... Especially when he narrates the events from previous games.
@E.king5897 Strawman: an intentionally misrepresented preposition because it is easier to defeat an opponent than a real argument. I wasn't arguing with anyone, didn't have a opponent, was only sharing my thoughts and not misrepresenting anything, therefore not a Strawman. It's sad how hard you're trying.
A Plague Tale Requiem is being really overlooked due to being released so close to Ragnarok (similar to Forbidden West and Elden Ring). I’ve completed 100% all 4 of them and a lot of awards going to Ragnarok I feel Requiem should seriously be in contention for…. Especially best Sound Design/OST. Like you said it’s hard to go against Christopher Judge (esp as a Stargate fan)…but Amicia from Requiem hands down is the next best for me. I almost wish it came out a different year because I feel like it really deserved many of these awards. If it was marketed a lot more so as many people played it as Ragnarok I think there would be a ton of serious debate in regards to its contention for the awards. Has anyone else played it through fully and feel similar to me?
A week late here, but I honestly think Odin's voice actor (Richard Schiff) stole the show for me. I think he should've been nominated over Atreus by a mile.
100% - I like Atreus as a character and the actor did a great job of portraying him, but there are many other characters in the game that have better performances imo. Probably had to do with screentime, which of course features Kratos and Atreus the most
@ThereInTheTrees _ I understand that you have a preference, but if speed was on that list he would win by a margin you can't imagine due to his almost cult-like following and influence lol. He's simply just more popular and influential. I'm just stating facts. I too prefer streamers with wit and clever jokes, but I'm going to be real with you, this is a popularity game. Speed just has more influence. He has been caught up in a lot of controversy, and he still has a bigger following than this jerma guy people speak of.
@Huey myself and most everyone who has some level of maturity, prefer structured jokes and decent personalities over someone who barks and screams. It can be entertaining, I’ve laughed at Speeds jokes before, he just isn’t on the level of quality to be a top tier streamer. Especially due to the fact he isn’t above scamming his audience
@ThereInTheTrees _ he also got recognized by the biggest sports organization in the world and had his song to play in the world cup. He is influential whether you like it or not lmao. I'm also not a huge fan, but I'm also not delusional
Imo scorn had a very unique way of getting around enemies, literally most if not all of the time you could just avoid the enemies by not attacking them, just be patient and they'll go somewhere else and despawn by going through a tunnel of flesh of sorts
I like it when in god of stray horizon forbbiden scorn ring requiem frontiers they said I am going to go super god of war ragnorok tm. Eldenring tm. Mode
God of War: Ragnarok has accessibility features outside of NPCs telling you what to do within one minute of observing that a puzzle exists. For example, "High Contrast Mode" assists people with photosensitivity and low-vision, it has great subtitling, and an assist mode for seeing navigation points easier, like the fixtures you need to fling yourself with by using the blades of chaos. Accessibility isn't just for people who don't solve a puzzle in three minutes.
In terms of game adaptation to movie, I think believe that Arcane takes' the cake mainly because of story depth in the characters and development. Cyberpunk was just good in general.
The score for me was a close one but I'm giving it to Hellsinger. My reasoning is simple. I go by which one trasmitted the intended emotion better or made me feel that intended way even harder. In GoW it's for sure Raeb's Lament, it's fucking perfect for every single place it was used in. A masterpiece of a song. But Hellsingers Dissolution is on another level entirely, not the best song in gaming this year, the best song I've heard this entire year period. Deserves more praise than this event can give it.
I almost had a heart attack from disappointment when he didnt vote for lego skywalker saga or cyberpunk edgerunners. I agree with most of this list none the less.
I don't enjoy Call of Duty. But the one good thing I've always had to say was that their sound design is really impressive. From the few games that I did play.
Someone let charlie know that until november 29th, sonic fans are voting for sonic frontiers to be nominated for best ost in the steam award since it didnt get nominated here. His support would be great
IMMORTALITY is honestly a masterpiece, not something that could ever be played on major streaming platforms due to graphic nudity so the amount of traction and notoriety it gained this year was limited but if you haven't played it you are seriously missing out
9:34 no man's sky easily wins the vote for me without even thinking about it what they did with the game is just amazing and the work they put to make it good is actually insan
If The Last of Us Part II can sweep the Game Awards with basically little merit than God of War: Ragnarok can surely sweep the awards with actual merit behind it.
What I find so interesting is that for a lot of people. Elden Ring was their game of the year, yet in every other category GoW Ragnarok took the cake. To me, that tells me this. Making the best possible game isn't about Game Direction, Narrative, Art Direction, Music, or Audio Design. It's about creating the most memorable experience possible. These things matter, of course, but they're not everything. We don't want an elevator, we want stairs.
@Sleepy Kurisu open worl with dungeons and caves, and bro said that like its a bad thing, gtfoh, go back to playing walking simulator. Dumbest shit I've ever heard
@E.king5897 well it's more fucking stupid to like a game with a dry ass fucking open world with dungeons and caves repeating the exact fucking same level design and having some random ass peice if loot at the end that's either not or will help your build and don't even get me started on how fucking lazy the boss designs were they had so many of the same fucking boss in one game and how they played was the most shit in every fucking souls game they literally just fucking spam moves other souls games taught you how to fight against a boss with their move sets on top of that the Open world is so fucking hard to navigate with no location discovering compass and finally the mediocre lore how does a game get so much extra time to be worked on and the lore ends up being mid I played through the entire game and other then 7 areas and 1 boss everything was shit
I gotta say I love Genshin. Hoyo really have put lots of efforts to their game and 3.0 patches really made the game as candidate for best ongoing game. Really hope it'll continue to strive for the next few years.
I want to see Gow Ragnarok win cuss usually I don't care about a game's story but this game made me care. Gow Ragnarok wins in presentation since it's essentially a playable movie Elden Ring wins in game design / gameplay
agreed on Kratos' character, its very easy to illicit an emotional response by killing off characters or destroying things the audience likes, but to have the entire experience so wrought with emotion without having to rely on shock value and while instilling meaningful messages in the player, is something to behold.
Im a huge Dark Souls fan and I was very hyped for Elden Ring and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but in retrospect it felt the atmosphere and story telling to be very lackluster.
When kratos said
"So what am I supposed to be? Some kind of- god of war or something?" Really made me cheer outloud.
@Josh Sir you are in a youtube comment section there is no such thing as original
@Josh Sir you are in a youtube comment section there is no such thing as original
I love the part when says its war time and then he ragnoroks all over the place
@Josh Sir you are in a youtube comment section there is no such thing as original
@Josh Because they're losers and have no life. There only purpose in life is to annoy people.
Charlie gives game of the year to Elden Ring and then gives every other award to Ragnarok lol
Lol thats what happened literally in the game awards charlie is jesus confirmed
Yoooooooooo that’s just how the actual Game Awards turned out, lol
@Lucas this is kind of what just happened. Something can win in most categories but players can still get more overall enjoyment from something else
@Michael literally shut up you are just mad you didnt get GOWR you won in the worst categories you are literally using chinese copium
well the awards were based on character and main plot. those categories clearly beat elden ring, but for overall game? elden ring slams ragnorak into the ground. it has more replayability, more gameplay features, online multiplayer and isn't platform exclusive. (btw elden ring won goty anyway nerd)
Charlie, it is mainly the toxic parts of the genshin community, or really any game community that will attack you for not voting their game. If you like a certain mobile game and want to vote for it, more power to you. Most of the genshin reddit seems pretty chill with whoever you are voting for.
@imutt x Oh no,
Retard alert
Twittard alert
@imutt x In your opinion
genshin just sucks though
Facts here
Elden ring had a bigger impact on gaming and me personally then GoW will ever have. The first time entering the map and discovering just how big the game is without a walk through was the most memorable experience in my life. Discovering and learning a bosses movesets or trying out interesting and unique weapons was just amazing. You can have your opinions but nitpicking everything about a game to prove your point just infuriates.
Discovering Siofra River was one of the biggest jaw-dropping moments in gaming for me. And then the game went and sends you to Caelid when opening that chest in the ruins and you're like "holy shit this is a big map" and then you beat Godrick and go to Liurnia and say the same thing and continue to do so until Mountaintop of the Giants
Elden Ring really just repopularized what Dark Souls 3 already did I think, I loved the game but I think God of War Ragnarok has a lot more to offer in terms of uniqueness. Elden ring is a fantastic culmination of the souls games and blood borne with a more ambitious map and a shit ton of great bosses, but it really is just bigger. Ragnarok tells a story in a way I've never seen a game tell a story before, it managed to tell a story about family in redemption while you git beat the shit out of by a dude with a lightning hammer and struck a balance no other game has pulled off yet. Whats better is up to opinion but impact on gaming would have ti go to GoW for me
@Chris Johnson elden ring is overall a masterpiece but the bosses were just a major step down after 3 consecutive games with many phenomenal bosses that didnt need the most insane visuals to be memorable
Who here is doing the nitpicking?
Crazy Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne are better 😂
So happy to see Xenoblade 3 at least getting a nomination. Hopefully it convinces more people to play the game.
Edgerunners vs arcane is a tough call. Edgerunners made me want to play cyberpunk again, but arcane hooked me in without making me feel the need to play league at all
@Corey personally i disagree. i think the writing for the characters in arcane was just phenomenal. but of course every one has their own opionion
I loved edgerunners omg it's great but I still have crippling depression from the ending
@13 faces lol, thats not how it works, its the opposite, the fewer ratings the easier it is for it to get a high rating. the top show on imdb is planet earth which has less ratings than arcane but is nr 1. go cry again boozo
@Olle Spengler because with 3x more ratings that is 3x more opportunity for the show to recieve high ratings. Cry about it.
@13 faces it has 3x more ratings and is still much higher rated, cry about it.
God of War wins in every measurable aspect except world, but Elden Ring is just a stroke of sheer genius and that wins GOTY for me.
You have got to play Tunic. Looks like a Zelda clone on the surface but it's in a league of its own, easily one of my favorite games of all time.
Everyone remembers "Death can have me when it earns me", and rightfully so...
But who here remembers this gem:
"KRATOS! YOU'RE ON FIRE!!!"
"It will pass."
@Giovayo wasn’t that from call of duty 1?! Lol
"Have you considered a tactical retreat?"
How about “OOOH, There’s frost in me neck stump”
its even better when kratos says "im fine it will pass, stay focused"
“You’re on fire, but you already knew that.”
Personally when it came to like best game for newcomers I went to the Quarry because you don't need to really understand game mechanics other than react to things and look at your options and you play the game there is no technically bad choice since it's a choice base game I feel like those who vote last of us are already Last of Us fans who get another person who hasn't played last of us to play that game and God of War is literally a sequel so I don't know why it's in that category cuz I watch berleezy and he proves what I think about Ragnarok and that is simply you will get lost on references if you did not play the game completely
I think I would have personally chosen Edgerunners with how much it totally resurrected it’s source content. Completely turned Cyberpunk from shit to the shit.
Elden ring and GOW are 2 different games and its hard to compare the 2 so its more of who has perfected their game more but in reality its not its who's game type is more popular which elden ring crushes god of war at. Its an open world with a master piece design, an insane amount of bosses and little easter eggs, secret places to go to and multiple endings too. The boss ost's are know to be unique and amazing. Plus you can spend alot of time playing it and still have a ton of stuff to do in it which is what you want the most from a game etc......... Its like everything you want in a game is there. GOW is an amazing game too except its just a strict story and certain stuff you have to do to finish the story and thats it. Everything else is god tier too, but elden ring's game style is just miles above.
Yeah, one is a game and the other one is a movie.
@Gavin Schaber its combo of what I said and what you said. Also if you think about it my point and your point are the same thing pretty much so yh you're right
I think it's just a matter of taste and opinion honestly. I liked Elden Ring and God Of War. But to me my game of the year is Xenoblade Chronicles 3
That part where Kratos said "I do not need a snack" was funnier than it had any right to be
funnily enough ludwig and cutie bought their ways into that category, i dont see enough people calling out how sus that this couple are both in the list when many other creators were so much better.
@C and then he said "it's redditing time" and then he reddited all over the humor
*I'M BETTER THAN CHARLIE, MY CONTENT IS BETTER!*
That part where Kratos said "Lois I am now going to activate my Epic Style and do the nae nae. May Christ have mercy upon your soul." was indeed Epic.
Kratos: I do not need a snack
Sindri: said like a man who needs a snack
elden ring music was god tier imo, but i understand why people would overlook it because its hard to pay attention to the music when ur trying ur best to roll out of waterfowl dance
@JustGames Explore more platforms? What do you want it on? It's on last gen, current gen and PC.
I honestly think they'll never top Dark Souls 3 soundtrack, I dont just mean souls games I mean gaming in general
It’s cuz the only people who are serious about wanting a certain game to win are no life basement dwellers, in reality Sonic and genshin impact shouldn’t win anything they’re both trash.
maliketh theme goes so harddddddd
Haven't heard of the Elden Ring musics. Because I don't play it. Maybe they should explore more platforms to get more votes.
1:35 as someone who's loved God of war since i was 2 years old watching my brother play it, no they didn't ruin kratos they clearly improved him that guy just has a childish mindset of if jts not the same it's worse we would be tired of angry kratos as shown in gow ascension
To be honest, I feel like Danielle Bisutti should’ve been nominated instead of Sunny Suljic
Tbh Charlie did the voting right also for best indie game cult of the lamb was super good but it wasn’t anything special plenty of games just like it I woulda chose sifu it was just really good
Can we all just agree that Christopher Judge already won the voice acting award?
@Greg Recovski no….😐
@SnubCabOOse same i voted for him. he sounded youthful without sounding annoying and delivered some pretty cool scenes.
Yess
honestly anyone on raganrok could get the va award tbh
@Jack Hayes wrong
On strict performance and dominance Mk Leo should absolutely be here as best player
im so surprised that splatoon 3 won best multiplayer going against overwatch 2 and modern warfare 2. personally i do think that splatoon's multiplayer is better than both of these games and i put 4 times as much hours into splatoon 3 compared to either of the other games, but i figured by sheer number of players that splatoon 3 didnt have a chance against the free to play cross platform giants that are mw and ow
If Elden ring wins it’ll be like “ thou art of passing skill, warrior blood must truly run in thy veins, tarnished”.
@bananashapedorange oh God your hilarious. I’ve played every single fromsoft game as well. The difference between us is that you are the actual embodiment of the reason why everyone hates us fans. You talk like a redditor and that’s not a good thing. “Infantile” God man stop being so cringe. I play Xbox but if u wanna get your ass handed to you then lmk. I’m sure you will just use rivers of blood anyways.
@Gray Stark I can guarantee I am better at the game than you are. no really. because your comment somehow suggests that elden ring is a challenge. elden ring is an infantilely easy game. I have beaten ds1, ds3, bb, and er. actually, if you're on ps4 drop your gt and I'll pvp you.
the game is mid. I'm sure your first fromsoft experience left you feeling magical but I assure you its all copy and pasted from previous experiences.
@bananashapedorange well sucks to be wrong. And it’s hard to argue when everyone disagrees. Just cause you couldn’t make it past the first boss doesn’t mean the game is bad. Get fucked
RISE YE TARNISHED. RISE
@Bigdude 0007 fake news? the fake news is that elden ring is a "perfect" game, its low quality. might be enough for people who don't even play souls games, since the entire game is just pandering to that audience.
if you like it, cool, but such a cheap idea doesnt deserve goty. it deserves to be forgotten
I loved it when Kratos said "yes it is me, the God of War" and godded on everyone
@nawt its dead meeming time
let this meme die its not even funny anymore
I loved when Kratos said is God of Worbinn time
You're missing out not playing Mario vs Rabbids 2. I love the xcom style gameplay
u gotta play neon white. The dialogue is (I think intentionally) extremely cringe, but the gameplay is incredible
Good video Charlie!😃
THANK YOU CHARILE. Tbh, Edgerunners was fucking great, but I have to say Arcane. Edgerunners flaws are just a lot more apparent than Arcane, even though I feel like the finale of Edgerunners was great in a subversion of expectations
@13 faces EXPLAIN, MATE. Like, I ain't trying to be rude (sorry if it comes across that way), but if you're gonna say something about a show, so many people like, at least give some example. And hey, while you're at it, tell us a better animation show/adaptation. Edgerunners is good, but for every flaw Arcane has, Edgerunners has a lot more of it.
@Chris Perez End scene of every act
@Jay Scott Thanks for the definition. I feel like you don't need research to know what ADAPTATION MEANS, but clearly some people are stupid and truly do.
@sillylittlesheep Jax Wow, slow down there buddy. Ain't need to get all rallied up
@sillylittlesheep Jax Which would still be Arcane, but I see what you're saying
Was there only 5 games released this year cause wtf are these nominees 😂
@The Senate I approve this message, call of duty modern warfare II 2009 is a fantastic game
@The Senate i meant the 2022 version tho
@Not me i agree, modern warfare 2 2009 is a great game
@The Sherlock call of duty mw 2 is a great game
@Binh Ha Does that include call of duty?
No way he said genshin was good
I gave destiny the best community support because they still play it in the first place
God of war pretty easily should win I’d say it’s 70-30 split with elden ring and I doubt there’s anything else worth mentioning right now Lolol. I mean if dying light 2 had come out like that e3 demo from like 3 years ago maybe there could have been some competition but as per usual the video game is a way overhyped B- than too much was promised and mostly cut out of the final version. Ragnarok didn’t do that clearly. They set a standard and exceeded it which is probably why for most all open world games are the same thing…that said elden ring was great but personally I enjoyed 30 hours of ragnarok more than 160 hours of elden ring and that has to mean props for god of war and also it’s unreal the polish that Sony games get without a million delays and bugs. Look at dying light 2 and cyberpunk for examples of what everyone else was doing while god of war crushing it.
As an Apex player, that game doesn't deserve a single nomination for how awful it is now.
If the Joystick Awards are anything to go off of them Elden Ring will landslide. I'm aware our votes don't matter for this shit show but for the Joystick Awards it does, and Elden Ring got double the votes as God of War and was so good it SOMEHOW won best multiplayer.
Can we take a second to appreciate that RL was able to get Charlie to overcome his fear of flying, across the ocean no less, for the first time in 5 years
YES LET'S APPRECIATE THE EFOORT
Huh? Pretty sure that flight made it worse dude. There was crazy air turbulence and that kinda freaked him out. Also a reason he wasn't feeling like meeting anyone there.
@Luketzen You've commented more times than you have subscribers
@Jorbsmen Petersdude I can relate flew alot in college, thought it was so cool, not anymore..
I used to love going on airplanes when I was younger, but I like it less and less every time I fly.
Thanks for mentioning the Sonic Frontiers OST being missing. Actually such a shame, it's definitely one of the best Sonic Soundtracks ever and thats saying something considering the series.
@Obi the BEEF tbh man, I really don't give a shit about any awards & I don't understand why anyone really does. I don't understand awards for any kind of art, and games are now very much a form of art. Art is subjective & that means the only opinion that matters is yours/mine/any individual's. Any comments I've made are based on my understanding of how awards work. Even from that perspective, I don't think either of those games should have gotten any recognition whatsoever. They're both total duds in my opinion - I've said my pieve about Sonic, as for Scorn, I think it's outright plaigerism - that's not 'influenced by' Giger's work - that's bits of Giger's work straight up copied & re-jigged. I'm a huge Giger fan, I sell art, have worked with a lot of his stuff & been a lifelong fan. I'm appalled at how they stole his creations & made a lot of money off the back of it - the stolen art is the only reason that game got the attention it did. I'm surprised his estate didn't sue. They bloody well should have.
@Dave Milligan I'm just saying you shouldn't be surprised Sonic was nominated considering Scorn was nominated for something even though it's dogshit
@David Jr well, the way it usually goes is a soundtrack to a game that's generally loved across the board. It's a very divisive title.
@Dave Milligan In my opinion, the game doesn’t need to be that great to even be nominated for the best audio designs / soundtrack. Sonic Frontiers has offered one of the best soundtracks in gaming history. Gameplay is pretty basic for open world yes, but soundtrack really made up for it’s solid 5 islands open world and pretty fun combat system. I think it is a crime for Game Awards to not even nominate Sonic Frontiers for that section.
@Greyson Crowe it's a very divisive title. It's a 4/10 for me & as I said before, it's all subjective. If you love it, great - my opinion isn't more valid than yours. I sell art for a living (in many forms) and have for almost 30 years (I started when I was 13) and I think video games are art - if films are, then games are too. So art is subjective & that means no one can really be right or wrong - as I explained before I was absolutely AMAZED people liked this as all I saw was people trashing it as I did it - but as we all know, social media is designed to be an echo chamber, thus we're heavily fed content in line with our own views.
11:03 There was no sh00ter category this year because people made fun of video games this year left for right
Funny how most people pick GoW over Elden Ring for most categories yet pick Elden Ring over GoW for game of the year.
i think arcane winning best adaptation is a no brainer tbh
Accessibility goes to The Quarry, the game can literally play itself.
@Chris Perez
Chris Perez replied: "YXIGXOA are you disabled? If not stfu lol" deleted comment
@Chris Perez as a matter of fact I am actually. so I shall not stfu as you have requested. It was also a harmless question get out of here with your high and mighty tone.
@YXIGXOA are you disabled? If not stfu lol
@empty Vessel 空の i get that its an option man but im just saying to save a few bucks just find a video with no commentary then boom 60 dollars saved.
@YXIGXOA bruh, its option.
imagine you are paralysed or smth, just tell someone to pick the personality traits of the chars to best suit your experience and you got the game played the way you wanna see it.
I loved the Horizon games more than GoW and Elden Ring... but I am a casual.
I easily pick Edgerunners over Arcane. This is the 2022 Game Awards and only one of those shows released in 2022.
I vote for Bill Clinton
Honestly as a Xenoblade fan the real win isnt the chance of winning I know its literally impossible what I am happy for is that sweet rendition of the main theme we are gonna get
@Melkor Stormcrown idk man I got bored of elden ring in 30 hours, have like 100 hours in xc3 and still have a ton to go back and do 🤷♂️
@Melkor Stormcrown pretty fun game to us
@Melkor Stormcrown clown
@Melkor Stormcrown cool.
Its a bloody boring game wouldn’t play it if someone paid me
Neon White, an anime speedrun FPS, seems like such a guaranteed game for Charlie to enjoy I'm actually shocked he hasn't played it.
I'm better than penguinz0
Again, I'm fine with you giving awards to God of war, but you're not even acknowledging Eldon Ring. You're not going to acknowledge the score of the soundtrack to Elden Ring? They're literally whole Clip-Share channels dedicated to analyzing the composure and score to the olden ring soundtrack. It's a whole community by itself. Geez man
Nerd
Where’s the Bill Clinton option
If Elden Rings wins that’s like saying Demon Souls Dark Souls Darksiders wins how weird how they fooled lots of lord of the rings fans it wasn’t the lord of the rings game by using the name rings I played it it shouldn’t win the god of war horizon forbidden west should win why didn’t bandai make it dark souls 4 not to many people like that kind of game
@Marché oh really you don’t say then why doesn’t it say on my PS4 it’s the game of the year oh yeah you must of had a dream it won I believe Sony more then anyone else who won I guess I don’t need to tell you what game won since others told you which they shouldn’t of let you figure it out on your own
@Mazen Elmusa that just proves to me you got a PS5 console the others don’t it’s not hard to see the game of the year game on the PSN store these idiots just don’t own a PS5 still stuck with their old gen PS4 xbox one
@Emad Starns I’m with you Elden Ring wasn’t the game of the year these silly kids are just mad their favorite game didn’t win
@Marché it’s not the end of the world I’m sure your favorite game will maybe win after 2 years
@Marché if Elden Ring won why does it say on my PS5 store Horizon Forbidden West won and is the game of the year are you saying Sony PS5 store is a lier 😂
NMS Support is light years ahead of FF14
I feel like if you take all the accolades ragnarok could get over Edlen ring it seems like God of war should sweep haha
@The Noob Network Yea i dont disagree I wasn't disappointed by the time of god of war but I beat elden ring with ranni ending and some other endings complete for a first play through in about 50 hours but now have over 100 from new game + and other things
@The Noob Network it's also a much deeper narrative that isn't spoon fed to you a lot of its narrative comes from other npcs and tidbits in writing and dialogue and exploration over gow. Elden ring has still kept me entertained more than the 40 or so hours gow has given me. It's not the same at all and the narrative and lore that elden ring and dark souls and bloodborne have had has been a sweep in narrative. It gives something rather than just using real time cinematics to tell the story.
@squishy sausage I don't think play time has ever been a category. God of wars length to me is perfect and tons to do. Elden takes long mainly from the difficulty to me.
ragnarok is not open world like elden ring is elden ring is the perfect open world game with so much more play time. the only reason Ragnarok wins in so many other categories is because there was no categories about play time and things like that it was just which game had better sound or art or story line. and especially for story line ragnarok is literally a story game. Ive played both ragnarok and elden ring and personally elden ring is the better game I have 100s of hours on it but ragnarok is also a very great game
9:34 no man's sky easily wins the vote for me without even thinking about it
what they did with the game is just amazing and the work they put to make it good is actually insane
The problem with no man's sky for me, especially now, is that bethesda's version of it is already scheduled for release, and since it's gonna be basically the same thing, just hopefully finished by the deadline... No Man's Sky had it's time, and they missed the mark, not sayin' it wasn't an amazing game way ahead of it's time, but it shouldn't even be in the runnings, regardless of how supportive it's community is.
Yeah I voted nms
@kuhaku I have to disagree on that one. The team size is so vastly different.
While also pulling out NMS of literal hell, they were bombarded with death threats and their entire workspace completely flooded, losing so much work.
if you see the history of ff14,i bet it's equal or probably even better than no man's sky,the story of their rise from the fall was fantastic
I'm sorry, but I feel Charlie didn't really even listen to most of the elden ring ost's, God of War ragnarok had a great soundtrack, dont get me wrong, and although it was hard, Elden just brings it with the music, it's just more memorable and impacting, the depth of the notes, the choir, it just barley beats ragnarok for me, but I'm still understanding that he or others chose ragnarok, but cmon, Maliketh ost, Godfrey ost, GODSKIN OST, I can go on, but like, cmon you can't tell me the boss ost's aren't super memorable, haha, but eh it's all in fun, it's just my opinion 😅
Nerd
Edgerunners vs Arcane was for sure the hardest pick this year for me.
@Zero totally a good pick. It’s probably the better show. I went with edgerunners mainly because it actually came out this year and I knew it would be hard to beat Arcane. They’re both must watch shows for me tho
Ik it already happened but I picked Arcane because I didn't watch edgerunners sadly 😢
@DaSourOrange bad taste
I picked sonic tbh lol
@D0TGhost yes thats what i think exactly. You worded it perfectly
No Mans Sky community support is on another level. They deserve it for sure. Surprised Charlie hasn’t heard about that
@Captain Clutch that’s a funny way to view things 😭
They deserve no awards because all they are doing is repenting for the shit show they tried to give on launch
FFXIV
@Javier V. just because i said he has his own opinion im meat riding him? u are weird man 💀
@sebastian berganzaget off his dick man lol I love critical but he can be pretty ignorant sometimes
it is called recency bias
When it comes to best adaption, my vote went to Arcane.
I loved both Arcane and Cyberpunk but ultimately Arcane did more "adapting" then Cyberpunk. Sure Cyberpunk's world was practically one to one with the game and the theme was same but the story and characters were completely original. Which isn't surprising since the player character can be literally anyone who does whatever they want.
Arcane on the other hand, not only got the world down but also worked with existed characters, fleshed them out well, and had a compelling story.
I like that whenever one of the options was Ragnarok, it was usually in the middle where your eyes would be drawn to it, almost like they knew what everyone would pick for most of em.
@Martin Lervik ye, I just thought it was ironic that despite that fact, it still happened to be center frame for most of the categories
It is in alphabetical order
Definitely laughed audibly when Charlie said “this is the biggest divide since my left and right butt cheek!”
It feels like Christopher Judge put his heart and soul into Kratos. The acting in Ragnarok was amazing
(I dont know the actors name) Atreus actor also, he is underrated thats why i voted him
Sad that Charlie hasn’t played Xenoblade. Absolutely steals the show when it comes to the OST. Understandable it wouldn’t win GOTY, but still super happy it got nominated
I think ragnorock is the on for me. As Charlie said it was an overall cleaner experience and was far more enjoyable than that of elden ring.
Regardless of which is your favorite, you deny that this has been a killer year for your gaming.
@Captain Facetious i found it but thanks
@thdukgras You could try going to the URL in the video
How do you vote?
no i dont
They’re just gonna leave a chair up for Christopher Judge so he doesn’t have to walk so far to get his awards
Imagine Christopher Judge walk like Kratos when he receive his award
*I'M BETTER THAN CHARLIE, MY CONTENT IS BETTER!*
@YeaMan Who's Paige?
@Prisoner849 After GoW Ragnarok I went back and started watching SG1 again thanks to hearing the voice so much. I haven't watched it since I was a kid and I'm genuinely surprised at how creative the writing of each episode is. It manages to be badass and wholesome at the same time.
@Tyler Klein why reply to bots?
you need to finish forbidden west
It's really just cool to see Xenoblade get nominated for things, especially since it'll get to go in the medley. Shame so many people disregard it on sight because of Dunkey and "anime bad"
@It did not cut deep enough 💀
@The Hydration Man 🤨
@It did not cut deep enough agh!! I have been destroyed!! 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
@The Hydration Man good, donkey sycks ass
Regardless if you were trying to pin the blame on his fans specifically, majority of the hate still feels directed towards Dunkey. One thing I appreciate is that he just gives his own opinion and isn’t swayed by shit, that’s what makes his reviews enjoyable.
Tunic is downright criminally underrated.
fr, I prefer stray but Tunic is amazing
Arcane was absolutely amazing but if Edge Runners loses this year it's literally rigged
I'm with Charlie on one thing: GOW Ragnarok did not ruined Kratos's character... On the contrary, they perfected it in an emotional level... Especially when he narrates the events from previous games.
@E.king5897 Strawman: an intentionally misrepresented preposition because it is easier to defeat an opponent than a real argument.
I wasn't arguing with anyone, didn't have a opponent, was only sharing my thoughts and not misrepresenting anything, therefore not a Strawman. It's sad how hard you're trying.
@Greyson Crowe ok read it again but slower. Like its crazy how ur not getting this
@E.king5897 I did. It's not a Straw man.
@Greyson Crowe read ur own comment then open up a dictionary, then read it again
@E.king5897 how so? How is it a straw man? I never used it in our as argument.
what about when the tarnished said "I am the elden ring"
A Plague Tale Requiem is being really overlooked due to being released so close to Ragnarok (similar to Forbidden West and Elden Ring). I’ve completed 100% all 4 of them and a lot of awards going to Ragnarok I feel Requiem should seriously be in contention for…. Especially best Sound Design/OST. Like you said it’s hard to go against Christopher Judge (esp as a Stargate fan)…but Amicia from Requiem hands down is the next best for me. I almost wish it came out a different year because I feel like it really deserved many of these awards. If it was marketed a lot more so as many people played it as Ragnarok I think there would be a ton of serious debate in regards to its contention for the awards.
Has anyone else played it through fully and feel similar to me?
A week late here, but I honestly think Odin's voice actor (Richard Schiff) stole the show for me. I think he should've been nominated over Atreus by a mile.
was atreus' voice acting/acting that good though?
100% - I like Atreus as a character and the actor did a great job of portraying him, but there are many other characters in the game that have better performances imo. Probably had to do with screentime, which of course features Kratos and Atreus the most
I think the actress who plays Amecia in both Plague Tale games is actually really slept on tbh.
Just coment on how people should play this series... I prefer this over GOW
it's a crime for Jerma to not be nominated as best streamer of the year
@fish guts Ayo, agreed
@ThereInTheTrees _ I understand that you have a preference, but if speed was on that list he would win by a margin you can't imagine due to his almost cult-like following and influence lol. He's simply just more popular and influential. I'm just stating facts. I too prefer streamers with wit and clever jokes, but I'm going to be real with you, this is a popularity game. Speed just has more influence. He has been caught up in a lot of controversy, and he still has a bigger following than this jerma guy people speak of.
@Huey I never said he wasn’t influential, this is a conversational if he is the best streamer of this year - he’s not
@Huey myself and most everyone who has some level of maturity, prefer structured jokes and decent personalities over someone who barks and screams.
It can be entertaining, I’ve laughed at Speeds jokes before, he just isn’t on the level of quality to be a top tier streamer.
Especially due to the fact he isn’t above scamming his audience
@ThereInTheTrees _ he also got recognized by the biggest sports organization in the world and had his song to play in the world cup. He is influential whether you like it or not lmao. I'm also not a huge fan, but I'm also not delusional
Imo scorn had a very unique way of getting around enemies, literally most if not all of the time you could just avoid the enemies by not attacking them, just be patient and they'll go somewhere else and despawn by going through a tunnel of flesh of sorts
I like it when in god of stray horizon forbbiden scorn ring requiem frontiers they said I am going to go super god of war ragnorok tm. Eldenring tm. Mode
God of War: Ragnarok has accessibility features outside of NPCs telling you what to do within one minute of observing that a puzzle exists. For example, "High Contrast Mode" assists people with photosensitivity and low-vision, it has great subtitling, and an assist mode for seeing navigation points easier, like the fixtures you need to fling yourself with by using the blades of chaos. Accessibility isn't just for people who don't solve a puzzle in three minutes.
In terms of game adaptation to movie, I think believe that Arcane takes' the cake mainly because of story depth in the characters and development. Cyberpunk was just good in general.
Why is QTcinderella on the list and not my boy Charlie?
The score for me was a close one but I'm giving it to Hellsinger. My reasoning is simple. I go by which one trasmitted the intended emotion better or made me feel that intended way even harder.
In GoW it's for sure Raeb's Lament, it's fucking perfect for every single place it was used in. A masterpiece of a song.
But Hellsingers Dissolution is on another level entirely, not the best song in gaming this year, the best song I've heard this entire year period. Deserves more praise than this event can give it.
This year's league final was absolutely insane. Best esport by far.
Never forgetting the Cologne CS final this year, an absolute banger of a match it has everything.
It is
eww, league
dude, varus pickrate went up astronomically because of 1 SINGLE ARROW. it's fucking bananas
I almost had a heart attack from disappointment when he didnt vote for lego skywalker saga or cyberpunk edgerunners. I agree with most of this list none the less.
"this is the biggest divide since my left and right buttcheek" is the greatest charlie line ever
How do i always read comments like this when theyre saying it
I don't enjoy Call of Duty. But the one good thing I've always had to say was that their sound design is really impressive. From the few games that I did play.
“Xenoblade 3 has a very enthusiastic community on Twitter- Very much so doesn’t like Dunkey”
Understatement of the century LMAO
God of War: Ragnarok deserves Game of the Year award.
Someone let charlie know that until november 29th, sonic fans are voting for sonic frontiers to be nominated for best ost in the steam award since it didnt get nominated here. His support would be great
IMMORTALITY is honestly a masterpiece, not something that could ever be played on major streaming platforms due to graphic nudity so the amount of traction and notoriety it gained this year was limited but if you haven't played it you are seriously missing out
9:34 no man's sky easily wins the vote for me without even thinking about it what they did with the game is just amazing and the work they put to make it good is actually insan
If The Last of Us Part II can sweep the Game Awards with basically little merit than God of War: Ragnarok can surely sweep the awards with actual merit behind it.
For me personally, I’m just happy to have made it through the great hollowing and gotten a game that not only paid off but exceeded my expectations.
What I find so interesting is that for a lot of people. Elden Ring was their game of the year, yet in every other category GoW Ragnarok took the cake. To me, that tells me this.
Making the best possible game isn't about Game Direction, Narrative, Art Direction, Music, or Audio Design.
It's about creating the most memorable experience possible. These things matter, of course, but they're not everything. We don't want an elevator, we want stairs.
@Sleepy Kurisu open worl with dungeons and caves, and bro said that like its a bad thing, gtfoh, go back to playing walking simulator.
Dumbest shit I've ever heard
@Ducky Duckington and I'll never go there again. They don't offer anything that great. The best item you can get is the mimic.
@Hugh Jass ok, but could you respond to me with a list of what makes it BAD, so i can pick apart your argument so you find out why it isn't?
@Scott Becker you went there because of questlines and endings. Thats your issue, you describe meaningful rewards as quests you do.
@E.king5897 well it's more fucking stupid to like a game with a dry ass fucking open world with dungeons and caves repeating the exact fucking same level design and having some random ass peice if loot at the end that's either not or will help your build and don't even get me started on how fucking lazy the boss designs were they had so many of the same fucking boss in one game and how they played was the most shit in every fucking souls game they literally just fucking spam moves other souls games taught you how to fight against a boss with their move sets on top of that the Open world is so fucking hard to navigate with no location discovering compass and finally the mediocre lore how does a game get so much extra time to be worked on and the lore ends up being mid I played through the entire game and other then 7 areas and 1 boss everything was shit
Dying light 2 should have been in best audio design.
Should've been in "trash-tier game of the year"
Definitely laughed audibly when Charlie said “this is the biggest divide since my left and right butt cheek!”
I gotta say I love Genshin. Hoyo really have put lots of efforts to their game and 3.0 patches really made the game as candidate for best ongoing game. Really hope it'll continue to strive for the next few years.
L + ratioed
@ItzKerbecs indeed. Yu Peng Chen is a music genius.
the SOUNDTRACK bro.
I want to see Gow Ragnarok win cuss usually I don't care about a game's story but this game made me care.
Gow Ragnarok wins in presentation since it's essentially a playable movie
Elden Ring wins in game design / gameplay
agreed on Kratos' character, its very easy to illicit an emotional response by killing off characters or destroying things the audience likes, but to have the entire experience so wrought with emotion without having to rely on shock value and while instilling meaningful messages in the player, is something to behold.

@mkwpaul EXACTLY!
Exactly. I cried during the death but there were some moments that were so beautiful holy shit I was sobbing
@mkwpaul Well to be fair most of Kratos' character comes from the spinoff games, which most people haven't played.
He hyped up Sifu everytime but didn't vote for em a single time 😂
Im a huge Dark Souls fan and I was very hyped for Elden Ring and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but in retrospect it felt the atmosphere and story telling to be very lackluster.
It's really such an amazing thing to see the two GOATs of two biggest esports became this sort of antagonist
2022 is such a year for gamers
Honestly Tunic is so slept on, I'd recommend anyone to try it. Maybe someone should get Charlie to play it
Why GOW just came out recently and it get to participate this year GOTY why don't give ppl a little more time have a fulfill experience
im so happy that he brought up sonic frontiers music, i take that as an absolute win.
