>Ultimate Game of the Year - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Zelda deserved every award it got, including best sound.

Can anything stop Breath Of The Wild?

The sequel to it, maybe, otherwise I find it difficult.
What a fantastic fucking game.

Bump

Mmm, yes I love the random banging of the piano keys. Truly a beyond mesmerizing soundtrack.

>xbox game of the year is a sidescroller

How on Earth did Debbie Bestwick win the Outstanding Contribution to the UK Games Industry over Edward Hyatt?

sound =/= music

> No Hollow Knight.

It deserved something.

Who gives a fuck about those shitty awards.

Post your picks for the only awards that matter!

>Nier Automata got NOTHING again

the fuck?

It's because fucking normies rule these awards. Fucking Markiplier got an award.

>Do GOTY awards 1 and a half month before the year is even over.
If you do it at any other point other than near new years or in January then you're doing it wrong.

>best esports
>best streamer

That's what I'm thinking about. What the fuck are they going to do with the next Zelda game that can hype up people like they did for BoTW?

>Esports Game of the Year sponsored by Omen by HP - Overwatch
>PC Game of the Year - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

You have to be kekking me

>Best Handegg game of the year sponsored by EA:
>Madden
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Mad as fuck

Do more with the enemy AI, add in some cooler enemies from past games, do more with the Sheikah Slate, add sail boats, or surfing, bring real Ganon back.

Put restrictions on the team and a strict time limit to force creativity.
Reuse the assets they already have.

>Pokémon Sun/Moon deserving best Handheld/mobile game

What else is there really? Samus Returns I guess.

>Markiplier is awarded best broadcaster

Why?

>No Automata
>No P5
>No Original Sin 2
>No Hollow Knight
I never thought that it's possible to have such shit taste.

>>Best Streamer / Broadcaster
This is the age we live in.

Well, Mario got cucked hard by Zelda this year as it seems.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Majora's Mask

>Xbox Game of the Year - Cuphead

>Multiplat is their game of the year

Xbros BTFO

How can overwatch win best esport? Its fucking terrible to watch due to the shitty spectate mode and even big names in overwatch agree

>Xenoblade will forever be excluded from Advertisement Awards because it's "only" released in the last 10th of the year.

Because Blizz paid to advertise OW as a big Esports thing when it's not.

The best audio award belonged to NieR IMO. BOTW had a few outstanding tracks, but the rest were easily forgettable whereas when I played NieR I felt like every track I heard was unique and fit the atmosphere perfectly. You can't disagree, your opinion is wrong.

>I love lapping up game journalist diarhhea, but only when it suits me

Bunch of hypocrites, I swear.

BotW's sounds were pretty good I'd say but Nintendo needs to stop with the muh atmospheric shit when it comes to the music.

Nier did a lot of cool shit with dynamic music.

I can see you sitting in a fancy concert hall in a greasy wife beater listening to a beautifully crafted impressionist symphony, and then rolling your eyes and putting on some Katy Perry.
Now that's some catchy music!

>best audio
>not Destiny 2
the game was a dumpster fire but the sounds were some of the best ever. from music to just random audio effects

10/10
A must see image for everyone this holiday season.

>Concert is silent except for a flute or piano now and then.
>An actual piece is finally played.
>It's piano plinking that leads to something resembling a melody after minutes of cockblocking build-up.

Normalfags can't appreciate ass

>normalfags can't appreciate anything, they're always wrong
>but when they like a game I like, they're based and /ourguys/

>GR2 didn't even get a single nomination

If ass was all Automata had on offer it wouldn't deserve any rewards. Besides, normalfags love ass.

Well it was designed and played like an early polygonal game just like the first one. Kat's nipples are cute though.
