HADES is Eurogamer's 2020 GOTY
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
No idea, and it's not like TLOU 2 isn't winning a bunch of awards anyway. Supergiant deserves all the praise they're getting for Hades and years of making excellent titles.
People are making threads about the most important ones, TLoU II is winning in a lot of random sites no one cares about, if you wanna create a thread for TLoU winning the Gamereactor Portugal GOTY award go ahead.
Bad analogy, SPR is a masterpiece of a film while TLoU II is a heavily flawed game from a design standpoint that alienated a big part of the fanbase from the predecessor.

As a big fan of Supergiant Games as a studio (Pyre is one of my favourite games of all time), it's really nice to see them getting this recognition.
Not only is it ridiculous to make that claim without having played one of the games, it's also that the film comparison being used completely misunderstands why Shakespeare in Love beat out Saving Private Ryan. SiL wasn't made best picture because people wanted to reward the plucky underdog, it was more to do with it being the subject of one of the first major Oscar awards campaigns and was constantly pushed by the studio into voters faces through incessant media coverage and marketing. Kind of the opposite of Hades.
coming into a thread about a game winning goty to say it doesn't deserve it, and then saying you haven't even played it...
just wow
just wow
Don't get so arrogant lol. Nobody really thinks that Hades is anything more than the indie darling of the year. The game is actually kinda flawed in some areas and Supergiant has already said there are no plans to add any new improvements or content like other rogue-likes do.
I mean, I'm a person (I think?), and I think it's more than that. As does Eurogamer? These console warrior posts are just strange to me. Do you really care so much about your chosen video game not winning?
yeah, but Hades is getting the prestige awards from the reputable outlets
😉
I'm actually really happy Hades is content-complete. It's a full, wonderful package and Supergiant gets to move on to their next project.
It seems Era isn't doing a 2020 GotY thread and I'm glad, because for whatever reason, the current state of this community isn't capable of having mature, respectful discussions about this topic.
Not played it yet, can't be doing with rogue likes but all the buzz I have heard about the game has been really positive.
Honestly cannot recall hearing any toxic or fucking insufferable discourse around it.
It's not Ooblets...but what is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because Hades is absolutely sweeping the GOTYs this year and they can't handle it.
I mean, it's getting a decent amount, but it's still in a steep second place.
That isn't even true though.
TLOU2is leading overall GotYs by a large margin, which makes the mounting hostilities from a small subset of its fans even more bizarre.
the fact that hades a distant #2 in the overall awards makes all the shit posting and thread derailment about it not deserving the awards it's getting even sadder, tbh.
"Reputable"... only big american awards matter apparently. There's other people in the world btw. These threads are so ridiculous.

The fact that the TLOU2 fans are jumping in every thread where TLOU2 is not winning to say that X game does not deserve the awards DESPITE TLOU 2 HAVING MORE AWARDS and TGA GOTY 2020 it's both patethic and sad.
Don't worry, Naughty Dog is not going to suffer because Hades won a couple of awards.
Eurogamer is british, but carry on.

Not that it makes it right at all this time, but it's just a thing happens every year. GoW, Botw, TW3, etc. Fans can get obnoxious, lol.

Gamekult is French and HADES was their GOTY
RPS is british and HADES was their GOTY.
Here's three outlets to make you happy or maybe not.
I think a little bit of that is because Hades tends to be winning GOTY from the most well-known sources. Looking at the GOTYPicks Blogspot a lot of TLoU:P2's wins come from either lesser-known sites (so many with the name 'nerd' or 'geek' in the title...) or from Reader's Choice awards (i.e. meaningless popularity contests), so it's hard to make big news threads exclaiming "TLOU:P2 WINS X SITE'S GOTY," without it looking a bit 'grasping at straws'-ish; but, I mean, if they do want to then that's OK.
Personally I think the concept of GOTY on any larger a scale than one's own self, let alone trying to track the 'overall winner' for GOTY, is inherently ridiculous; so I've got no horse in the race either way. My personal GOTY this year is Umurangi Generation anyway, with TLoU:P2 in second place and Hades somewhere quite a bit lower, so even if I did have a horse in the race it wouldn't be for Hades lol

You went from pretending that only american outlets are awarding Hades to stop "addressing me" because I showed you that you are wrong.
Nothing more to add LMFAO
What a fucking mess of a thread. Imagine caring so much that a game that isn't your favorite won GOTY. Final Fantasy VII Remake was my favorite game of the year but I'm not complaining every single time TLOU2 or Hades wins an award. Fucking hell.
For good reason/ it's really hard to not like the game. It's complete, not glitchy, reasonably priced, with no mtx. It's got incredible gameplay, music, sound, characters, variety, art. It's the whole package.
The american gaming market is the biggest one, both Hades and TLoU are american games (also no reason for bias), it's only natural if most of the major gaming sites are american. I'm not american.
yep. it's beyond obnoxious at this point. i don't get why they don't make threads about tlou2's many goty wins if they don't think the game is being praised enough.
Thread has more derailing post about TLOU2 fans than actual post coming from hostile/derailing/salty TLOU2 fans though
deserved, would have been mine too, but it's complicit in personal physical injury, and gets docked points for that because i am still recovering
Both of those things didn't happen. I love that Hades is getting recognition so I don't know why you think showing me it's awards would make me unhappy. I asked that you stop adressing me because your responses show you're not worth talking to. Goodbye.

Can't believe I have to say this, but:
1) It's OK if your favourite game didn't win and you don't need to embarrass yourself about it
2) About a whole whopping two posters failed at point #1, but now the entire thread is derailed as if it was a swarm of them. Y'all are just as toxic.
Please stop and grow up, all of you. Thanks.

I notice frame drops on Switch. Wish I would have bought on pc
Bastion and Transistor bored me to tears, but Hades is brilliant.
Oh I over exerted myself and am paying the price. I did some gardening, and "relaxed" by beating Hades handheld for the first time (bouncy shield). Then my left arm started aching, and lost a lot of strength and control in my left thumb. Had it in a sling for a while, learned about rotator cuffs. That was a few weeks ago now, and although I can type two handed again, I'm still on painkillers. Not really a knock on the game at all, which I look forward to finishing off in god mode at some point.
TLOU2 just hurt me in the soul, and then GoT killed it dead. Death Stranding remains my game of the year, it was the only one that had a wholly positive effect on me in 2020.
