It's game of the year, not hype of the year

GOTY not going to the only game to break the store or payment processor of steam, Xbox, psn, and Nintendo already made the whole thing seem silly

It’s a turn based.

So are chess, Magic The Gathering, and Dungeons and Dragons. What’s your point?

Chess has staying power. D&D might. Magic has less staying power than Pokémon. I wolnt even remember hearing about expedition 33 in 5 years

The fact that Silksong did that is insane to me, there was so much hype
DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 7 hours ago
Agreed. As much as I don’t care about Silksong either way, having “so many people wanted me, I broke the storefront” on your resume has to count for something.

Silksong is an excellent game but it’s absolutely not in the same league. COE33 is a much more sophisticated game with deeper story and advanced artwork.
Not to mention it was 1/3 the price so they could sell many more copies, which would be reflected in server load. COE33 was also more of a slow burn, not really that hyped. None of that makes Silksong a better game.

IMHO fart sniffing pick and the only person I know who will play it is a persona fan.
The description and trailers don’t seem revolutionary or mind blowing. Just a pretty turn based with a story that EA or Ubisoft didn’t half ass. BF6 just went on sale for $40 from $70 and is the best selling game of the year.
The whole thing feels very token and fake

So you didn’t play it, and yet your opinion is more important that that of those who did. Got it.
redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 minutes ago
And never will. The total selling point is “a deep story” and but I haven’t heard single specific that sounds deep or even interesting.
You come off like the kid who insisted I play Persona. It’s not that deep, try some more adult media. We have a guy here on Lemmy who highly recommends A Brave New World 🥲

e33 is a fantastic game and is well worth your time

I’ll never play it and miss nothing. Just like Persona.
