TGA 2024 predictions, reactions, nominees, etc.

Clive in Tekken is dumb and only happened because Harada got annoyed with people asking him for Tifa.
Clive makes zero sense for Tekken because weapons and magic are dumb in a game about martial arts, though they've given people weapons before the best fights are hand to hand fights without haduken super powers.
Tifa was perfect for it, but Harada got salty and asked Square for Clive instead.
He did do initial sound design for Doom 3, but that got scrapped.
The man wears a T-shirt that says "Don't Ask Me For Shit". Why all of this surprised anyone is beyond my ken.
It is what it is. I wasn't expecting Tifa, nor any other FF character to appear again after Noctus. They have Clive, because he's filling in for Noctus, so the former can have his own crazy combat shit.
I doubt this, but I wouldn't mind Axel Stone or Blaze Fielding for Season 2.
Also, you shouldn't even be this socked. You know how Harada is and how he likes to troll. Expecting nothing, but the unexpected.
Well the puppets lampshaded everything about this year- the Edlen Ring nod, Geoff's reputation of being a shill, the length and boring stretches of the event, etc. It was basically just Geoff and the organizers' way of telling us they acknowledge the criticisms.
I'm not aware of any major award competitions that have sensible award categories.
The Oscars have no actual definition for "actor" vs "supporting" actor. The Golden Globes have no definition for "comedy" vs "drama." The Grammys ideas of genre is batshit insane.
While not doing anything about them. A DLC still stole a GOTY nomination from an actual game, and the show still went on for way too long.
Yeah, Heretic somehow got a nomination as "Best Comedy".
Was thinking about stuff like the Golden Joystick Awards having best expansion, BAFTA has best evolving game, etc. It makes sense to differentiate whenever possible to avoid PR bs like what TGA’s seem to be a shit magnet for lately.
Ciri was hit with the ugly stick. Typical.
But, whatever. Don't enjoy open world Witcher anyway. So many irresistible quests that the sense of urgency is shot and the whole thing becomes tedious. Character movement and fighting aren't even good.

Nothing about her looks "ugly". Your eyes are shit, they need checking, and your sexism is showing. Have some fucking class and quit crying like a brat, because you can't fuck her. She wouldn't waste time on your ass, and Ciri is still sexier than you or me. I am mainly referring to you though. Keep in mind, I am not even a Witcher fan, but I respect the franchise enough. Though only mainly the third game.
@Old_Hunter_77, you excited for Witcher 4?
You might actually enjoy TW2 most out of all of them, if you ever wanted to try. It has kind of an “all killer, no filler” feel throughout, because they revamped the combat system from the original and left the world just big enough to accommodate the questing, with hardly any wasted spaces. I was amazed at how quickly my playthrough seemed to go compared to the original and 3. It’s still an RPG, but almost like one for people who don’t like tedium that they’re usually known for.
Apparently the CEO of Game Science, the studio behind Black Myth Wukong is a bit of a sore loser. Went on a rant on Weibo about how disappointing it was they didn't win GOTY.

Mate, you got four noms and cashed two of them. Take the wins and get over yourself.2
From yesterday to now, I have also seen strong dissatisfaction, unwillingness and unhappiness in the comments of many players - most of them expressed in a humorous and deconstructive way, which is hilarious.
I can fully understand these unwillingness and sympathize with these unhappiness, because I know that behind these emotions, it is not pain and malice, but self-esteem and self-confidence.
It's normal to be a little angry when you are so confident but not recognized by others.
I am actually... more confident than you (refer to my first answer on Zhihu). The speech for the annual game was written two years ago, but it was not used.![[bitter]](https://face.t.sinajs.cn/t4/appstyle/expression/ext/normal/7e/2021_bitter_org.png)
During the development of this game, many colleagues were not as optimistic as I was. They may have played too many intermediate versions, so they inevitably felt that this game still had too many flaws and it was unlikely to be launched on time.
One of my main jobs in the company is to constantly comfort them that we have done a good job and the product has been improving.
Yes, you can't be confident only when you have won.
That is not confidence, but a repetition of the result.
If you lose today, you may lose tomorrow, but so what?
The factors that affect the result are too complex, so the result must be uncertain. The only thing we can be sure of is to choose what we are doing -
do specific things, do difficult things, and do things we believe in.
Of course, we should be confident when doing these.
Now I have more reasons not to get this game.
Such a contrast from Koreans last year regarding Lies of P. I was active in Korean online communities and all I remember is everyone loving the fact that a Korean-made game THAT ISN'T maplestory finally got global recognition. They didn't even care LoP didn't win any awards, and even recognized the flaws of the game. They were just happy that everyone around the world was enjoying the game.
Hell, even Stellar Blade of this year, which didn't receive as much love as LoP, was still viewed favorably and everyone once again loved the fact that it was getting global recognition.

Apparently Black Myth Wukong not getting GOTY is also in part what led to a review bombing of Baldur's Gate
Why even review bomb BG3? It won last year, not this year. Talk about being petty. Black Myth wasn't even out in 2023, so it's even more senseless. Get it together Chinese players, or expect more disappointments.
Possible reasons are given in the article. Basically, they couldn't review bomb Astrobot since it's not on Steam, and because Swen Vincke presented the GOTY, that made him the face of Wukong getting snubbed, so BG3 became the target of their ire.
The other possible reason if that Vincke made a speech against corporate greed, which due to a faulty translation was interpreted by Chinese folks as sales and reviews not mattering, and Wukong reviewing well and selling even better is supposedly something its fans are very proud of. So maybe they saw the speech as an attack on them or something.
Neither is very reasonable, but then again, reasonable is not what I expect from folks who go review bombing because their chosen game didn't win.
Also, gotta say it's quite the punchline that after that speech Vincke had to announce the game that is a big ad for the Playstation brand as the winner.
