We're hot on the heels of our rivals with a years worth of games and new awards with which to anoint them. (We love it when one or two games sweep all the awards.)
The nominations site is new, it allows you to suggest your own award titles and to provide feedback on the awards so far - albeit on the strength of the category, not the name. If you don't like the stupid bit of memeology we've chosen for the award name, you'll just have to suggest one yourself!
Only you can stop the Sup ForumsGAs from being shit!
Nex Machina better win best game nobody played you shits
Camden Lewis
One award: "The Year That The Rotting Corpse of Gaming Was Finally, Mercifully Put Down Thanks To Having Zero Even Mediocre Quality Games, Let Alone Any Good Ones". Winner: 2017.
Elijah Evans
>cringe memewards 2017 I'd rather rewatch disaster that is Jeff's VGA than watch this shit ever again.
Aiden Adams
>sold so badly that Housemarque is giving up on arcade games I'd vote for it.
Jonathan Mitchell
hype
John Barnes
bump
Isaac Moore
>Zero good games >2017 Nigga you high?
Owen Brown
>But that's wrong, you fucking retard.tiff
Leo Moore
It better not have these fuckers in the ceremony.
Josiah Walker
Name one good 2017 game. Hint: whatever bullshit you're thinking of pales in comparison to even the worst games released in the classic era (80s/early 90s), and you know it to be true.
Elijah Jackson
Breath of the Wild
Ryder Perez
I could, but you'll just say it's shit This is some pretty mediocre trolling bruh
Joshua Martinez
I can neither confirm nor deny that we eat fast food during the stream.
Hunter Campbell
I enjoy this category very much, although I haven't found anything to put in it.
John Richardson
Wow, so difficult.
Jace Edwards
I feel like 'least worst game' and 'most hated game' are gonna be the same game
Leo Nelson
that's cause "worst game" is a shit awards to give.
The worst is clearly some indie shit on steam, but no one played it. Most hated is all needed desu.
Jace Hughes
That's never been the case before.
Jaxson Flores
Noice, coming to vote I guess
William Allen
The problem is they're all shit. Name one game released this year that absolutely puts quality, well-done gameplay and control over absolutely everything else.
That's right. There is none.
Henry Smith
Lurk moar kiddo, you'll fit in eventually. No need to try so hard to be a contrarian
Adrian Cooper
Name your favorite game so I can say it's shit.
Just cause you don't actually enjoy video games doesn't mean that recent games were bad.
Benjamin Perez
>kiddo I'm probably older than your mom, kid.
And I'm noticing that you're more interested in insulting me than proving what I said wrong, which is proof that you are afraid as fuck that I'm right and you're just knee-jerk defending your broken, incorrect opinion.
>I'd rather watch UberEats/McDonalds market to me for 3 hours instead of fun Sup Forums shitflinging
You're on the wrong site, friendo.
Matthew Reyes
>2011 - Deus Ex Human Revolution >2012 - The Walking Dead >2013 - Metal Gear Rising >2014 - Bayonetta 2 >2015 - The Witcher 3 >2016 - DOOM >2017 - ???
Ayden Rodriguez
I don't have a "favorite game" because I'm not 12.
But if you were to play some of the top games of the 80s and early 90s, you might actually discover some games that I actually enjoy... because they are good games with quality gameplay and controls, not because they're style over substance clusterfucks like your "games".
Levi Ortiz
Don't ignore my first reply, faggot. See:
Ian Wilson
This is the cringiest thing Sup Forums has ever done
Luis Allen
This shit still happens? Does anyone even remember how cringey the first Sup Forumsgas were?
You know your award show is bad when the best segment is a joke last minute phone in by TBG
Asher Wright
Kinda hoping Night in the Woods wins either comfiest or contrarian
Ethan Jackson
Nier Automata
David Hill
The musical this year was one of the best. Not as good as 2015's, but good. Noms: >Howard And Pete Hines >Steam Store >Loot Boxes! >Crazy Noisy Bizzare Board >Miyamoto Theme Song >Augmented Man >Don't Shitpost I'm Scared: Community >If Sup Forums says so >Ain't That a New Vegas Thread >My Shiny DLC >The Legend of LAMAJ and ERIOIOIRE >Bubsy the Bobcat >Titan In His Rig
Dominic Turner
Zelda or mario Probably zelda
Aaron Rodriguez
How was Breath of the Wild shit? It had it's rough moment, but it's just a fun, interestingly-done Zelda game. The same goes for Bing Bing Wahoo, and Nier, and fucking ANY game that receives praise in 2017. Chances are, they're all probably mostly good. Things are different now than in the 80's and 90's.
The medium hasn't gotten more shallow or worse, it's simply got more avenues to explore. We now have access to all sorts of game depending on our preferences. Wanna just press W and hear a story? 2017 has those. Want to be taken along for a story but also kill some bad guys? 2017 was full of those. We have games that experiment with perspective, with color, hell, even Tameem was humbled by DmC and came out with a budget-minded game with "AAA" graphics in 2017. There are shooters with deep gun mechanics, turn based battles, weebshit save-the-world-with-your-friends adventures, driving sims that are more realistic than ever, loads of hack & slash games, plenty of card games...dude...we have SO MANY games at our fingertips and you want to whine that not even ONE was good?
I hate to say it, but gaming might not be your hobby any more, bud :/
Jeremiah Mitchell
Also: >Comfy >You Know My Name >Luigi Floating On An Egg Over The Sea >Bing Bing >Casualization
Julian Taylor
>argument is that every game from the 80's/90's was better
I mean, if you want zero player agency, muddy textures, hamfisted DO THE THING writing, and the gameplay equivalent of a ball on a string that's attached to a cup, then sure they were "better"
Eli Parker
>le wrong generation xD
Jacob Adams
Christ cut it down to like 10-12 categories lads, this is a hassle coupled with a burden
Jordan Hall
Reminder to nominate /ourguy/ for best character.
Jason Hall
Couple of things: Not all categories are final, hence why we allow people to vote on them.
We usually have ~30 awards, though we have some website-only awards.
Caleb Murphy
>can't decide that contrarian is clearly a good award but Hook Line and Stinker is a shit one
Why even believe in Jesus?
Daniel Gray
Don't just put them on the website or do what Geoff did and just ramble them off, at least do a highlight package showing the quick awards you're trying to push through. Otherwise there's no meaning or agency to the award.
Brandon Cooper
Oh no worries, a bunch of us were watching last night and definitely taking note of all the bullshit the TGAs were pulling. Skipping awards like that to get back to an Ad package was pretty fucking grimy.
Carter Gomez
i think it's super nice of you guys to put together an award show for the children of Sup Forums and reddit and whatever.
Jason Sullivan
thank you guys for doing it this year awesome job
Cameron Russell
no specific URL that expires on time? How can you be sure that reddit wont fuck it up?
That's for actual voting. This is just nominations. Anyone can nominate anything (even if it's the wrong year) and all the "sdfsdf" and joke entries get trimmed and then you're just left with the nominees when it's time to vote (which will require the timed link)
Caleb Rogers
Well if you're taking notes from the event then, I'd like to point out to not do a fake interview like they did with Geoff & Kyle Bosman at the PreShow. Even in parody, it would suck.
Jaxon Ross
how do they count the legit Sup Forums votes?
Isaiah Cooper
genie magic
Thomas King
See
Aiden Martinez
just link referrals. where the person clicked the link.
it doest matter anyway because 90% of the votes came through links posted on Sup Forums anyway. look at the spread.
>2 votes from reddit
because all the redditors are already here
Liam Collins
If I enter through google once, and then through Sup Forums later, what do they count?
Alexander White
What is even the point of the "hardest game" award? Does Cuphead even have competition?
Austin Stewart
Does artificial difficulty count? OHKO is a pretty dumb idea, even for a shitty weeb game.
Zachary Howard
In the best girl and best boy awards are you supposed to nominate games or specifiic characters?
Juan Martinez
Lawbreakers
Asher Gonzalez
Characters
Anthony Lee
deviantart award has to go to the entire cast of lawbreakers
Lincoln Cooper
yeah their mentality for legit votes made no sense logically there was no reason for them not just to come to Sup Forums and then click the link
Hudson Diaz
huh, This only showed me that neogaf users that vote in the Sup ForumsGAs usually have better taste than Sup Forums...
Cooper Russell
I wonder where you're from
Angel Phillips
not the literal deviantart-tier OC that is Infinite
Samuel Roberts
2017 was the best since 2007
Gabriel White
I've literally never been to neogaf outside of links from Sup Forums to laugh at post. I assume most people on neogaf just ignore the Sup ForumsGAs, and that the ones more inclined to participate are those more inclined to have good taste.
Also, that was just for the first half of the list, hadn't gotten to the second half where it gets worse.
Thomas Powell
Nier Persona 5 Hollow Knight Sonic Mania Evil Within 2 Prey
Jordan Murphy
>Least Worst Award >AND BEST GAME AWARD Why? Also where is the reddit award?
Austin Phillips
P5 or Odyssey
BOTW is garbo
Carter Ramirez
>best gameplay
What does "gameplay" even fucking mean. You don't say a book has good "wordread" or a meal has good "foodeat."
Landon Rivera
stale
Oliver Carter
Hellblade for [pic related] award, nothing else comes close
Nathan James
>Sup Forums so butthurt over TGA that they had to make their own awards heh
Austin Brown
Been doing it since 2011 dude
Sebastian Morgan
Add it as a suggestion, but think of some "most hated" fanbases first. You can count this one if it makes you feel better.
>best game nobody played Name 3. Hard mode: ___you can't___
>best game under $20 Name 2. Hard mode: you could
Evan Roberts
>Dark Souls of Video Games Award >for most difficult video game 0/10, more like most reddit game >no eceleb award with DSP
Henry Martin
>Butthurt of the TGAs I think this is the one year Sup Forums isn't butthurt bout the TGAs.
Kayden Sanchez
>thinking I forgot all of the shill threads
Matthew Barnes
>I'd rather watch the same two meme Japanese games win everything that have no substance whatsoever
Angel Jackson
hownew.ru
William Green
>no eceleb award with DSP
I miss the eceleb award too
Jack Ortiz
Nier: Automata, the game voted for BEST FUCKING SOUNDTRACK, does not even get a song played by the Orchestra
Tommy Wiseau was right: Fuck the Oscars.
Daniel Hall
Yeah, if Night in the Woods doesn't win, there's something wrong. Though it was actually a good game, for a reasonable price.
Ian Allen
>2011 - Deus Ex Human Revolution
NOT FAIR, MONSTER GIRL QUEST WON THE POPULAR VOTE, FUCKING DUMPF
Kayden Jackson
I just think its a bit redundant to have both at the same time
Caleb Carter
Persona 5. We all know weeb presence is strong at the Sup ForumsGAs.
Alexander Jones
Hey at least they won it, it's hard to play a song for Nier that is Iconic, the other games much much easier.
Joseph Gray
I hope so, P5 deserves it as well as best soundtrack
Jaxson White
>Best Sup Forums the musical song You faggots will never stop shilling this shit, will you? That whole month is a cancer on the board full of unoriginal talentless philistines thinking they're better than they are. Kick them off to /vg/ if they ever try to do it again.
Grayson Campbell
for literature, it would be how simple/difficult it is to read it. compare Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" and your kindergarten nursery rhymes: the first you only start to understand after reading like half of the book and then you still have depth to explore, while in the latter you understand everything and the stories write themselves really.
also games are an interactive medium, you cannot judge them like you can books or film or food, yadda yadda you get it.
Joshua Gonzalez
THIS CANNOT CONTINUE or BECOME AS GODS songs is pretty iconic, instead of those more mellow generic songs that you can't even distinguish as Nier music
P5 should have won it for how catchy and amped up most of the songs are.
Thomas Cooper
Not in a a year of Nier:Automata or Xenoblade 2.I can't remember a song in P5 that wasn't Life Will Change.
Thomas Taylor
Actually you're right, they should have played Become as Gods. P5 doesn't have that good of a soundtrack
Carson Peterson
YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING RIVERS IN THE DESERT WAKE UP GET UP
Dylan Brown
How about I dunno, Weight of the World with the original singer?
David Johnson
I just realized I only played less than a handful of video games from this year.
Thomas Young
How about the one they played at TGA, River in the Desert?
Zachary Baker
I honestly think that song is better without the vocals. Maybe if the Violins didn't fuck up during the game awards they would actually have a great song to listen to
