    Best Narrative

    Life is Strange 2: Episode 1

    wtf ?

  • MetallicaRulesMetallicaRules

    I don't get it either. How can you nominate a single episode for a game that has 4 unreleased episodes, and put it up against actual complete games?

    Answer: They had it to nominate it for the masses and because of the "deep" issues it tackled.

  • GhetsisGhetsis

    The issues were too exaggerated and/or unrealistic anyway. Same goes for the story and characters.

    You know what, LiS 2 should've been nominated for the music, not narrative. Definitely not that.

  • gamingdevil800gamingdevil800

    Yeah I think it should of been held back for next year as a nominee. Like we don't even know if the rest of the story is of the same quality.

    haven't even heard of most these games. but i played soul calibur 6 and it was mind numbingly dull. celeste looks kinda interesting.

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    Playstation VR isn't doing so well. The only game that is worth using the VR for is Resident Evil 7.

  • gamingdevil800gamingdevil800

    Funny enough I actually just bought a PSVR in the early black friday sales for £175 and I'm having a blast. Ace Combat 7 is what I'm really looking forward to in VR I have a flight stick ready for it. You say it isn't doing so well but it's the most popular VR headset out there with the most sales, what does that say about VR as a whole? There was a big boost last year for the winter season so the PSVR sales will probably head up again. I fully expect a successor to the PSVR it's great for VR developers who beforehand only had the PC market to rely on.

    Its funny how they're making it seem like the other games actually have a chance of winning Game of the Year against Red Dead 2.

  • Dex-StarrDex-Starr Banned

    Uhhhh.....God of War???

  • gamingdevil800gamingdevil800

    Indeed I think it's between God Of War & RDR 2 for GOTY mainly due to GOW having a great narrative. Very different games but both 10/10 for me, I hope both pick up awards anyway.

  • GhetsisGhetsis

    I think RDR 2 wins but GOW has a slightly better narrative. Gameplay is debatable.

    Holy Shit The Stanley Parable is coming back. Updating the game with new endings and bringing it to consoles, too.

    Woot. I LOVE that game.

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    Okay, the CEOs of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo working and presenting together is just amazing. The console wars are just people being fully retarded.

  • Zombiekiller3121Zombiekiller3121

    @MetallicaRules Did you have a chuckle when they said that Lis2 was nominated for best narrative? :D

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    Boi, Kratos is pissed right now.

  • AChickenAChicken

    Such a good opener.

    @Zombiekiller3121

    Did you have a chuckle when they said that Lis2 was nominated for best narrative?

    Trust me when I say: everyone had a chuckle -- no, a laugh -- seeing 1/5th of a game get nominated, let alone Life Is Strange of all things this year in narrative.

  • MetallicaRulesMetallicaRules

    I knew it was already, and it’s still bullshit. Not because I don’t like the game, but because it’s a single episode out of 5, it’s not a complete game and yet it was nominated for a major award. I’d be saying the same thing if it had been a Telltale game being nominated before the final episode. So it wasn’t so much a chuckle, more like frustration.

    WOOT! Roger Clark!

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    Well shit, RDR2 is gonna win everything, leaving God of War and Spider-Man empty.

  • AChickenAChicken

    Oh boy. Read Dead's gonna bring in all the awards tonight, aren't they?

    (yeah, yeah, I won't knock it till I tried it)

  • Zombiekiller3121Zombiekiller3121

    True, and with it being fresh in everyone's minds it kinda has the advantage

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    RDR2 can win GOTY but for fuckssakes, it should let the other games win some awards because Spider-Man and God of War did justice as well. It would have made more sense if RDR2 was the only best game released this year.

    Yer a good boah

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    Is this a new Planet of the Apes game?

  • AChickenAChicken

    Stab Animals with Sticks: The Game.

    At least, that's what I got from the trailer.

    I was hoping that RDR wouldn't be there, but it just slithered in there an-- SHIT

  • MetallicaRulesMetallicaRules

    Yep, RDR2 is going to win everything they were nominated for...and everything they weren’t nominated for.

    And the award for Best Indie Game goes to...Red Dead Redemption 2.

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    I'm sooo done. RDR2 is such a bully.

  • Zombiekiller3121Zombiekiller3121

    Of... Fucking.... Course

  • bloopbloop

    Anyone who expected RDR2 not to win at every award

  • AronDraculaAronDracula

    I guess IGN was right about RDR2 being a bigger bully than Bully itself.

  • Zombiekiller3121Zombiekiller3121

    Jokes on you, it didn't win best audio design. I guess the sounds of farting horses put them off :confused:

    My sister's new favourite artist/band is Panic At The Disco so it's an interesting coincidence to see him appear here.

    ....and omg what Goeff is Canadian!?!
