I'm not saying E33 didn't deserve to win anything, but I don't believe it deserved to dominate like that. No single game should be allowed to do this, ever.

I mean, of the 6 nominees for Best Performance, 3 of them (50%) were from E33. That shouldn't be allowed, IMO. Pick the single best performance from one game, then you can have more variety to pick from. Also, the winner of Best Indie Game should automatically be disqualified from also winning Best Indie Debut game.

In my opinion: KCD2 snubbed for Best RPG, Silksong snubbed for best Action Adventure, and Half-Life 3 snubbed for Most Anticipated Game (is it disqualified -- no professionals allowed?).

I won't say E33 didn't deserve to win an award, it definitely did. But I will absolutely say with certainty it did not deserve to be nominated in so many categories and proceed to win basically every category.

Having an award show give awards to only one nominee feels bad for everyone except the show runners, that one nominee, and their fans. Lots of games deserved to be there that simply weren't, and lots of nominees deserved to win but didn't simply because E33 won this year's popularity contest.

For example, Best Performance should not have been allowed to have 50% of the nominees be from the same game (E33, in this case).

It was good, but Episode 1 Racer was better, IMO. It still holds the world record for best selling sci-fi racing game, beating out even F-Zero and Wipeout.

Also, Episode 1 Racer appeals to people that may not really care too much about Star Wars by being a good racing game regardless. Jedi Power Battles though, relies more on the Star Wars IP, IMO. Especially the PS1 and GBA ports, which honestly weren't that great in comparison to the Dreamcast version.

They're really gonna use Leon instead of giving Barry another chance?

I don't see why people are calling this Concord 2. The art and character designs were actually good, and the gameplay looked even better. Despite my disdain for Apex Legends, I have to admit that the game feels good to play when you are doing well, and Titanfall obviously felt even better. I don't see this game doing horribly as long as they don't try to monetize character abilities or weapons or anything Pay2Win.

I am disappointed seeing that the Need for Speed developers are from Criterion, and not former Black Box. Criterion's NFS games have been trash compared to Black Box, particularly the handling. They fall feel like mobile games thanks to their B2D mechanic, rather than the more predictable handling model from older titles.

I am still interested, of course. Episode 1 Racer was the best thing to come out of Episode 1. Hopefully this one is good and has active multiplayer.

It wasn't MegaMan Legends, and therefore I do not care. Capcom can stay losing with my wallet.

Truly, lol. He was disappointed because he thought the MegaMan reveal was talking about Gordon Freeman.

I'll be real, it was good that they showed this trailer first. Because Legacy of Atlantis is going to be way more popular. Catalyst looks like a game the executives demanded, and the developers said "Okay, we will make that if you let us make Legacy of Atlantis."

I have not interest in Catalyst, but Legacy of Atlantis had me. Especially at the dinosaurs.

I dont know, I felt like it was more fitting for Diablo. Watching this trailer I thought:

  1. Wow I can't believe they were actually allowed to show that on YouTube.

  2. It seems like Larian is making a lot of changes with the tone of Divinity.

Its interesting, but was definitely not what I would personally expect from Divinity.

Well at least Sam Maggs isn't on this one.

Hopefully it's a step in the right direction for Star Wars?

EDIT: Before you riot, my distaste with her has nothing to do with her being a woman, and everything to do with her being needlessly antagonistic to people and her being a writer on such "banger" games as Anthem and Call of Duty Vanguard.

Hopium administered

 

I am getting kinda sick of constantly not being able to post comments on seemingly random posts due to this error.

The instance is English, the post title is English, and my comment is in English. I have even logged into my instance website to change the language settings to have both "Undetermined" and "English" selected, and that still doesn't work. Not all posts have this problem, and not even posts in just one community or instance. Seems like the error is completely random.

I have to imagine this is an error specific to Connect for Lemmy, since I don't get the same error if I comment from my web browser. It seems to come from Connect for Lemmy not having an option to set the comment language when posting? Can that be corrected please?
