alessandroClair Obscur: Expedition 33 just won every award it was nominated for at The Golden Joystick Awards [Ultimate GoTY, Storytelling, Visual Design, Studio of the Year, Supporting/Lead Performer]
West_of_WestGood for them. I really enjoyed the game.
Is Frunch the meal in between brunch and lunch?
CouldbealeotardWhat’s the problem with it being French? Or is this just a smooth-brained nationalist comment?
I chuckled…
I liked it, but I was expecting another game that met the quality of Chrono Trigger based on how people were talking about it, so I ended up being a tad disappointed.
SlykeBecause it fucking rules
Oh nice, Blue prince also won best Indie.
In general the categories got many different winners, except for the Expedition33 categories of course
Blue Prince was awesome, and literally curled up with my boyfriend watching him play E33 right now (these games make me motion sick, thus the scrolling lol.) I can see why it won so much.

CoelacanthLove seeing Blue Prince win awards. Such an inventive, creative and amazing game.

UnderpantsWeevilI mean, good for them and all. But… I hate when these award shows do this shit. Narrowing the universe of “award winning” games down to “One Title Wins Everything” feels so hack.
That’s a fair assessment for the most part. I think a lot of the time it’s all just hype for one title, but this game is actually fantastic, and I think it deserves everything it won. I can’t think of anything else this year that would surpass Clair Obscur in any of those categories.
this game is actually fantastic,
Without a doubt. It’s on my list.

Silksong, Outer Worlds 2, and Eldin Ring: Nightsong leap to mind.
poryIt’s a downside of the award show template. If the “best game” is, say, an RPG, then there’s no logic that should say it would win “best game” but not “best RPG”, right? If it wasn’t an award show you could go from the top down instead of building up to GOTY and it’d be spread out more. Expedition 33 is GOTY, so “best RPG” is now de facto “best RPG not named Expedition 33”. But even that collides with awards like best soundtrack or best performance by a VA.
BurgerBaronThe vibe I pick up online is that it’ll sweep all awards shows even coming from people who don’t personally like the game.
I voted half and half on the Dorito Pope’s website between KCD2 and E33. Basically I think KCD2 better actual gameplay, E33 better story.
I kinda broke E33 in half it’s not at all a hard game. Basically Paper Mario design.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 I love both, but I also would pick KCD2 for the story just because it hits exactly the same as A Knight’s Tale.
E33 definitely is more creative and unique, though, and because of that I would expect it to win.
tinsukEDamn I really gotta play that.
