Goty is gonna be fought between Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2, or Ghost of Yotei

[ElectriCole 5]

Is Yotei confirmed to be out this year?

If DK gets a metacritic score of 93 or 94 I can't see the other games winning.

DK is a family game first, gets the Nintendo bonus, people will praise that a niche Nintendo franchise is a rising star in the industry.

They are gonna throw the other games under the bus and I hate it

I wouldn't be surprised if DK even outsells 33 and the other games in the first month

just due to it being switch 1 and switch 2

even the most niche title of niche titles pikmin 4 sold as much as 33's first month sales in 2 months and pikmin 4 wasn't even multiplatform unlike 33

also guys play Pikmin. the games are peak

I mean from the looks of things, DK seems like a really fun game but I don't think it will win in a landslide

If its as good as it looks then its definitely going to be a contender

[Liftea 15]

the thing is I thought exactly this about mario odyssey and even BotW when I saw their trailers and then they destroyed all other games

2016 Zelda fandom Tea was wild because I hated BotW

next JRPG that is gonna get firetrucked is Persona 6 when it releases the same year as witcher 4 or gta

💀

[Silent Multiverse 8]

Yah this fall

[Liftea 15]

massive cope btw

[Otti#8624 26]

I mean, Odyssey lost to Breath of the Wild

[Silent Multiverse 8]

Oct 2nd 2025 for GoY

[Liftea 15]

this was the comeback of all time

especially after the Wii U era

Zelda and Mario are 100% this time their mid gen games

I hope DK gets a good score and sells well. If it sells well Nintendo can bring back any franchise

How about a partnership with microsoft to release a new banjo game that doesn't suck

or Golden Sun 1 + 2 Remake

[Otti#8624 26]

That would be a horrible idea

The people who were at Rare at the time aren't there now

You won't be able to create the same thing, you need a new studio for it

[Liftea 15]

true

Happy 34, Sonic

imagine GS1 Remake with botw style puzzle mechanics and sick turn-based combat

no one has ever done this

[raiden94 17]

you would, Ottland.

[Otti#8624 26]

I have no idea what that means

[raiden94 17]

Try and insinuate DS2 is doing well just cause its Kojima 😔

The dude who dudes been praying for the downfall of since 2001... 😔😪

[Otti#8624 26]

I mean I also said yes that it's a good game

I was 3 that year...

[raiden94 17]

.....

[raiden94 17]

😭

I was like 7 dog omfg im so old

Muki was right...

[Otti#8624 26]

I do think the writing style got a lot less flack because its Kojima

Doesn't change that its still a good game, although not one for me

[raiden94 17]

I feel that based on my personal experience, Kojima's writing is always given flak and criticism

When I see someone day "this is Kojima 's most streamlined story" or whatever I worry its like MGS5.

I love that games gameplay, but im sorry, I just think Kojima needs the cutscenes for his stories to be fully realized

[Otti#8624 26]

From the first two hours, no its not like that either

It really feels more old school Kojima

Cutscenes aren't endlessly long and the story keeps it moving

At least so far

I mean yeah, I don't disagree but there is a vast middle ground between MGS5 and Death Stranding

[raiden94 17]

would you say it's similar to like MGS1 pacing?

Like that game had cutscenes but I feel it got you back into the game pretty quick minus a few talky sections

[Otti#8624 26]

I would say so yeah

Like from the first DS game you had that beginning section with the president and die hardman that lasted like 10 minutes

And just endlessly expositing dialogue with words coming out the wazoo with technical stuff you have no idea on

This one goes way more into the point
