out of everything possible you decided to defend BotW's OST neckyourself
Logan Reyes
We won. GET. OVER IT.
Jayden Robinson
Journalists are the most shallow people imaginable. Who would have thought. Game awards is one giant circle jerk anyway.
Eli Wood
Don't forget about half of the shrines being a fight against the same enemy. Fuck this game, Odyssey should have won.
Mason Campbell
nostalgia, like, why are you all acting this way we all knew it would win, it always does, nintodlers have to little taste, this is literally the empties zelda game yet it still caries a console. i could care less though since in one year most of those games will migrate to other platforms thus more money.

because even with all that it's still superior to 99% of games released this year and the last 5 years, raising the bar for open world games on both scale and spectacle BoTW is just the beginning I hope
Lucas Johnson
You might as well cross that out and put "Seconds". The worldwide sodium content is on the rise right now.
Ethan Hall
why? because it exist? its the weakest zelda in the franchise, odessy DESTROYS IT get off my board
Oliver Allen
only good zelda ost was OOT. rest has been mediocre. especially the 2D games. yeah, you won the sham awards, just like big hero 6 won the oscars beating out princess kaguya. enjoy your hollow victory that was paid for.
Ian Nguyen
honestly, it doesn't seem that the general public spent enough time with odyssey to appreciate the intricacies. I don't mind though, Zelda is definitely worthy of the title Game of the Year, moreso than any other game released this year besides Mario.
Caleb Reyes

>How did this piece of garbage win GOTY?
It was the epitome of the open world meme. All substance, zero style.
Fun to toy around with, alternate solutions to almost every problem, encourages outside the box thinking, fantastic physics engine, but when it came time to put a face to the world they undersold everything. Even when you're decked out from head to toe in gear and maxed yourself out with food and hearts you're still just beating on bokoblins with weapons that break in 10 hits and the same arsenal of glyphs you started the game with.

Because the game awards are rigged and the Nintendo soyboys are just putting off their suicide to re-live their only good experiences in life, their time with old zelda games. Nintendo fans are the most degenerate people in gaming and are more than likely pedophiles as well. Ok Death to nintendo, praise everything else

Award was absolutely paid for to promote their garbage dlc
Brayden James
The DLC should've been in the base game.
Cooper Anderson
You're right! Nintendo is evil! EVIL!

Hello Sup ForumstendoGAF
Eli Johnson
Please buy hard mode and more copy pasted shrines, goy. And have a motorcycle because we gave up on artistic integrity 3 games ago
Wyatt Gray
The truth comes out spoken
Jordan Jones
Ah, yes. This is worth my money. Take it Nintendo.
James Parker
Oh my god, the next few days will be great
Hunter Cox
agree with a lot of what you said, but BotW had to win GOTY, they flew in people from japan for christs sake
Wyatt Bell
This probably explains why Persona 5 didn't have anyone to receive the best RPG award. Gotta prioritize the ones with deeper pockets.
Ethan Kelly
Fuck this game.
Aaron Wright
I just couldn't get over the durability. It went from: fuck yeah let's fight this dude to literally avoiding every enemy that wasn't necessary to defeat to advance. What is fun about that?
Justin Moore
It won both to shill DLC and make Nintendo users feel justified and smug that they spent $400 on a fucking TOY that makes them look like losers in public.
