I have a friend who’s addicted to Balatro, and they have shown me everything in the game. It genuinely looks fun, but isn’t for me. I enjoy story driven action games (something similar to classic Halo). Hope those that do buy the game enjoy it
I feel like the worst thing about The Game Awards is the fact that some people legit believe that the GOTY Winners should be treated as gospel and that the losers(and every other game that released in the year) should be considered “hot garbage”(looking at Y’ALL in particular, TLOU fanboys)
Only thing the game awards exist for is making a group of the pseudo intellectuals and game journalist feel good about the next mid game they've decided praise today. Only thing that matters from it is the trailers they show off. Whatever game you enjoyed the most this year, is your game of the year.
I'm just confused why Sonic X Shadow Generations isn't present on it. Because I could see Shadow's campaign especially going well on the visual side. And the music.
When you look long enough at all of the categories and the games that inhabit them, you can get an idea of which games earned their spots and which game studios bought their spots. Just like every other mainstream award show.
Ok you don't have to like stellar blade or space marine, but to put mobile card game and a dlc in a place of those games in GOTY category is just pathetic.
@@dinar8749 I rarely watch video game related content unless its drama content since the extent of my videogaming is just game development and playing games I enjoy tbh
There was this PlayStation fanboy on Twitter who was shitting on Space Marine 2 and the guy called Fritanga called him out and said "Since when does Space Marine 2 get thrown under the bus?! 😦"
It's actually amusing that most if not all of the games in the indie category are not indies. Seriously, can they not tell an indie from just a game made by a small team?
Metaphor is fucking peak it in a just world it would sweep all 6 categories it's in, easy goty and one of the best jrpgs of all time. Also it should've gotten a nomination in voice acting but that category is always giga biased towards realistic games with motion capture rip.
@@ryankfg4762 I never said Persona 3 Reload should be a GotY contender, I just meant it should be nominated for those aforementioned two categories. I do hope Metaphor ReFantesio wins Best Narrative though
Balatro became a Mobile game after the success of the PC and Console game. So just because it’s shows up on Mobile doesn’t automatically mean it’s a mobile game. If we use that logic then grand theft auto trilogy are mobile games.
Would you count hades and vampire survivors mobile games since they were ported to pc first, Saying BALATRO is a Mobile game is crazy it’s a mobile game but a fully mobile game
I'd give community support to BG3 because I've had a good experience with them. Made a bug report and the next day receive a response with a temporary fix. They also put modding on console and are planning to add cross platform which is pretty dope for me and my friend since every other week he's on console. NMS is a pretty good choice too.
At this point every time the game awards comes around I've only played like 1 game from the entire show because the rest aren't worth the money or just aren't interesting lol. I'm good with my older games.
@@Yourfat247yeah but it’s not a mobile game when it was on PC and console first, it was ported to mobile later on but that doesn’t mean it counts as a mobile game, that’s like saying hades is a mobile game when it got ported on there, if it was AFL journey then that would count as a full mobile game but that’s not the case for BALATRO
Cyberpunk 2077 was due to death threats by fans and 2.0 fixed everything and an S tier DLC. You mean, we should have awards for not releasing a Star Wars outlaws
Balatro isn't a mobile game. it's a simple game, sure, but it wasn't made for mobile. it first launched on Steam and then on consoles. i don't even think a mobile version is out yet, even though they did have talks about bringing it to phones. edit: nvm i'm silly, the mobile version *is* out.
Congratulation, sneaky. Now you officially understand my resentment towards the game awards and electronic software Association. But the highway for resentment goes so long then that.
If you think that then why doesn’t it fit the bill? Games are supposed to deliver a particular form of fun, and Balatro does that better than most games on the market.
@ I legitimately think it’s the best game of the year. But it doesn’t fit the bill that award shows usually look for. Sort of like how a comedy or a horror will never win best picture.
The snarkiest tuber talking about the goty love your content sneaky cacti 😂 glad you voted infinite wealth for its narrative imo it's one of the most convoluted narrative
Why Silent Hill 2 isn't a Game of the Year contender is baffling and very disappointing to me. How an Elden Ring DLC stole its rightful spot is a joke. I am hoping either Astro Bot or Metaphor ReFantesio win Game of the Year, more so Astro Bot. The latter is a testament to how game development should be going forward, for others to emulate i.e more sustainable development cycles, with relatively more modest budgets and team sizes. I hope Metaphor ReFantesio wins Best Narrative and Stellar Blade wins Best Music/Soundtrack. Edit: Conversely, Star Wars Outlaws does not deserve to win any awards whatsoever.
Balatro is a PC game, went to consoles and then was ported to mobile last… no different to how slay the spire got the same treatment (both of which are amazing games). Balatro being there is also just a funny reminder how awful this year was for games. An indie game made by predominantly one guy because he likes poker, is being put above AAA titles and in the same bracket as this year’s AAA titans, deservingly in my opinion. It won’t win but the fact Balatro getting that big of a spotlight makes me happy.
There were only a few games that I loved stellar blade and astro bot to name a few i was interested in playing black myth wukong but never had the chance to play it yet maybe someday in the future 😊
Sucks that pizza tower, Mario & Luigi brothership, sonic gen remake, Mario kart 8 deluxe, blade and sorcery, bonelab, and ori will of the wisps didn’t make it on there.
Just to say BALATRO IS NOT I REPEAT NOT A MOBLIE GAME!?!? I don’t know why people say it is when it really isn’t, it was ported to PC then consoles then mobile, like they assume it is just cause it got nominated for best mobile game and instantly became popular on there. Think I’m wrong search it up on what platform BALATRO got ported to first.
5:40 I'd go DIABLO IV, its sound design and overall game design make it playable for blind people. It also has different settings for blind people aswell I think
My observation/overall Just have the categories of Best Remake (game changing elements) Best DLC in game Best Remaster (game graphical enhancement) A little attention to details for games is a good thing to focus on. Even for games I’m unfamiliar with? I just blind guess the best looking game. But apparently Game Awards care the overall package. *sighs* Disappointed.
I mean, I am aware what I am saying now is bit off topic but I already knew it wouldnt be that good anyway since sonic X shadow wasnt nominated for any of the award even though I'd argue its the second best platformer released this year not only that its much more impactful than all of the games that nominated to "games for impact" category
Someone correct me on this but im pretty sure baltaro is on switch it might even have its own nintendo themed level again havent played the game idk but sure i saw it on the eshop and nintendo life do cover on it
I can't speak for everybody else but I personally enjoyed gaming this year I still didn't finish visions of mana yet because I'm going through everything I want to get every single achievement Yes online connection sucks always online I think that is dumb but other than that My gaming experience been really good
Balatro isn't just a mobile game, and it's truly excellent. I have no issues with its nomination. Indies deserve the chance to be represented for GOTY too. Erdtree is another story though. No way should that be there.
I'd rather stick to the real games that I have in my library throughout gaming history. And we all drove here for, a magnitude of salt combined with ponies, Nintendrones, Xbots, the critical crybabies The Annoying Orange derangement syndrome, throwing rotten produce to at some of the biggest losers of of gaming especially core members and Associated members of the electronic software Association, Blaring the stereos with "F Hollywood", and of course game announcements that anyone can looking forward to it and I for sure ain't going to look forward to another AAA video game I can get you to take that much. But at the same time, I have no choice but to give some people like Phil Spencer and other Old Yeller treatment. 0:01
9:10 Zenless sone zero was actually amazing i think the only thing people hated from it was the TV sections and some of the odd designs. Other than that it’s a pretty good game it’s actually from hoyoverse which while a bit greedy make some damn good mobile games. Wuthering waves though sucked cheeks it ran so bad people still are making fun of it for running so bad.
3:06 what is this? It’s like they ran out of ideas so we bring up our old game if he really doing that why not put on the candidates bugsnax why don’t you like? I know it’s hasn’t been updated in like three or two white pacifically they put our old game on here, God

To be honest, this game of the year award is just covered with just slop including games which hasn’t been out since years ago, but to be honest, this one 14:30 i’ve just a bunch of flashtubers and one vtuber is pretty funny😂
10:10 I’m guessing outlaws is nominated because one of the only positives people agreed on was the world building aspects. We got to drive in beautiful places
balatro wasn't a mobile game though? it came to mobile AFTER it had already blown up on pc.
ah, fair enough
I have a friend who’s addicted to Balatro, and they have shown me everything in the game. It genuinely looks fun, but isn’t for me. I enjoy story driven action games (something similar to classic Halo). Hope those that do buy the game enjoy it
@@ShotoTodoroki-kw4lmit’s addictive, it’s fun and does require some skill and luck
It still on mobile so it’s a mobile game 😂
@@Yourfat247 so grand theft auto trilogy are mobile games?
I feel like the worst thing about The Game Awards is the fact that some people legit believe that the GOTY Winners should be treated as gospel and that the losers(and every other game that released in the year) should be considered “hot garbage”(looking at Y’ALL in particular, TLOU fanboys)
i agree 100%!
TLOU more like The Last of YOU People. I'm referring to the fanboys.
TLOU2 fangirls is so true 😭
They're probably going to make some celebrity talk for a long time while telling the developer to shut up like they did last year.
Please wrap it up!
Family probably meant appropriate for the whole family, not to be played as a family.
Astro Bot deserves to win that category award
just like Emmys and Oscars, the Game awards is simply a tool for ads and a massive "upper" community jerkcircle with Geoff Keighly in the middle
To quote a great cod villain “to those u serve, YOUR AWARDS MEAN NOTHING”
Only thing the game awards exist for is making a group of the pseudo intellectuals and game journalist feel good about the next mid game they've decided praise today.

I don’t know why people are mad about the game awards. They’ve always been a joke
Always has been.
They haven’t always but slowly were becoming such
Water is wet.
The grass is green and the sky is blue.
@@TheRealRuddRants I wouldn't be shocked if the game awards turns into IGN/Kotaku
Silent is hill
I'm just confused why Sonic X Shadow Generations isn't present on it. Because I could see Shadow's campaign especially going well on the visual side. And the music.
So Silent Hill 2 can get nominated for best narrative but Persona 3 Reload doesnt get nominated at all
Silent hill 2 is like in 1 category and probably won’t win
Persona 3 reload was better than all those games.
I knew it fell off when goodbye volcano high didnt get games for IMPACT

Its been a slop since 2020 with TLOU 2 winning GOTY for money and agenda reasons, 2016 aswell when you count overwatch winning GOTY
I mean, GOW 2018 won over RDR2
Its funny you put "2024" in the title, dawg it's ALWAYS been slop 😭
but its more slop this time than the usual slop 😂
@ ikr I just finished watching and saw how much worse it truly is 😭 this year is BADD even by their standards 🤣
@@KatTheOneAndOnly Why even watch them? Just wait for the trailers on the other companies channels.
@@dinar8749 I rarely watch video game related content unless its drama content since the extent of my videogaming is just game development and playing games I enjoy tbh

Nah bro, my messed up sleep schedule got me to watch this 😅

My sleep schedule is so fucked that I sleep during the day and am awake at night.

Metaphor is fucking peak it in a just world it would sweep all 6 categories it's in, easy goty and one of the best jrpgs of all time. Also it should've gotten a nomination in voice acting but that category is always giga biased towards realistic games with motion capture rip.
Really? Damn i might play it
What about Persona 3 Reload. It should have been considered for Best RPG and Music/Soundtrack
@@unicorntomboy9736it’s a remake, unfortunately it’s hard to justify remakes getting GOTY. I love p3r but if metaphor doesn’t win p3r wouldn’t either

Crazy how Sonic x Shadow generations wasn't at least nominated for one of the categories definitely in my top 5 best games of the year lol
That is interesting. They consulted with Hit Detection, so you'd think it would be right at home there?
Is that why they censored the most tame things?! @roflBeck
@@sneakycacti That would explain it, yes.
There should be an award for not releasing a Cyberpunk 2077. It's getting increasingly rare these days.
Cyberpunk 2077 was due to death threats by fans and 2.0 fixed everything and an S tier DLC. You mean, we should have awards for not releasing a Star Wars outlaws
Sad. We used to have more good games than bad. Even the "bad" ones had an appeal.
Now, it's just "mediocre" to "bland and boring".
I think something more people have to realize is that the game awards are a popularity contest
Not really, otherwise COD would’ve swept 2022-2024
Balatro isn't a mobile game. it's a simple game, sure, but it wasn't made for mobile. it first launched on Steam and then on consoles. i don't even think a mobile version is out yet, even though they did have talks about bringing it to phones.

So Selaco didn't even get a mention what that team was able to do with the Doom engine is nothing short of magic
Manorlords is really a sleeper game made by ONE developer. It deserves the spot
Congratulation, sneaky. Now you officially understand my resentment towards the game awards and electronic software Association. But the highway for resentment goes so long then that.

I only watch it for new game trailers, the awards itself can be ignored easily, except maybe for Elden Ring's DLC because it's... Well, a DLC!

That racing games list is sad. Come on, XF Extreme Formula AND Aero GPX both came out this year!

Just have the categories of
Best Remake (game changing elements)
Best DLC in game
Best Remaster (game graphical enhancement)

Balatro is a better game than Stellar Blade I know that much
Guess that depends if you like action games with “physics objects” as opposed to funny numbers go brrrrrr.
you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to Balatro. Do a little research before you slander the best indie game of the past few years. Its the best game of 2024 period.
