Let's bitch about the 2020 Game Awards winners here by burn 2020 to the ground 12/11/2020, 10:40am PST
Should have just called it "The Last of Us 2: sucking Abby's cock awards".


Game of the Year
Doom Eternal
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Ghost of Tsushima
Hades
Animal Crossing New Horizons
The Last of Us Part II – Winner

Perhaps the only value of Previously Recorded was Rich Evans showing everyone how boring and pointless Naughty Dog NARRATIVE games are. Nobody but tumblr FEELS types and gamer dads thinks these are good stories.

Final Fantasy 7 was an already nonsensical plot, and the remake put it through the Kingdom Hearts filter. Can we stop pretending the original was notable for anything but breakthrough visuals at the time?

Fuck Doom Eternal. Worm was completely right about that piece of shit.



Best game direction winner

Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Ghost of Tsushima
Hades
Half-Life: Alyx
The Last of Us Part II – Winner

What does this category even mean? "Best use of recycled butch tranny dom beating scene"? Stop pretending you're movies!


Best narrative winner

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Ghost of Tsushima
Hades
The Last of Us Part II – Winner

Best story? Best writing? No! This is ART and we will call it NARRATIVE.

The fuck did a Dark Souls stealth game get nominated? The FUCKING fuck did FF7's fucking nonsense get nominated?


Best art direction winner

Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Ghost of Tsushima – Winner
Hades
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
The Last of Us Part II

I've got no problem with this.


Best score and music winner

Doom Eternal
Fantasy Fantasy 7 Remake – Winner
Hades
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
The Last of Us Part II

This reminds me of Redletter Media discussing how bullshit the technical Oscar categories are since they just re-nominate all the best picture nominees. Did The Revenant really have the best sound mixing of any movie that year? Did it really?

Best audio design winner

Doom Eternal
Half-Life: Alyx
Ghost of Tsushima
Resident Evil 3
The Last of Us Part II – Winner

Best meaty sound effects of cis white male beaten to death, female sobbing.

Doom shit fuck Eternal should have gotten disqualified on the cacodemon cartoon grenade swallow sound alone.


Best performance winner

Ashley Johnson as Ellie in The Last of Us Part II
Laura Bailey as Abby in The Last of Us Part II – Winner
Daisuke Tsuji as Jin Sakai in Ghost of Tsushima
Logan Cunningham as Hades in Hades
Nadji Jeter as Miles Morales in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales


WE GET IT.


Games for impact winner

If Found... by Dreamfeel
Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition by Cardboard Computer
Spiritfarer by Thunder Lotus Games
Tell me why by Dontnod Entertainment/Xbox Game Studios – Winner
Through the Darkest of Times by Paintbucket Games

"This is important...this means something"

This decision was an easy oppression hierarchy flowchart. Colored child trump cartoons animals, lesbian trumps colored child, FtM tranny trumps all.


Best ongoing game winner

Apex Legends
Destiny 2
Call of Duty: Warzone
Fortnite
No Man's Sky – Winner

Ha ha ha, I thought they were stretching it inventing categories just to give awards to The Last of Us 2, but holy shit. Did Chris Roberts sponsor this category for Star Citizen but got snubbed?

Rotflol #2 @ the idea that anyone still gives a shit about Destiny 2.


Best indie game winner

Carrion by Phobia Game Studios/Devolver
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout by Mediatonic/Devolver
Hades by Supergiant Games – Winner
Spelunky 2 by Mossmouth, LLC
Spiritfarer by Thunder Lotus Games

I'll give kudos to this. The willpower it must have taken to not only make the correct decision, but also to leave out Among Us.


Best mobile game winner

Among Us – Winner
Call of Duty Mobile
Genshin Impact
Legends of Runeterra
Pokemon Cafe Mix

Never mind...


Best community support winner

Apex Legends
Destiny 2
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – Winner
Fortnite
No Man's Sky
Valorant

AHAHAHaha, community support nomination for No Man's Sky? No award for the guys who try to sell pictures of PS5's on ebay?


Innovation in accessibility winner

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Grounded
Hyperdot
The Last of Us Part II – Winner
Watch Dogs Legion

Jesus christ. Even TDARCOS would call this category gay.


Best action game winner

Doom Eternal
Hades – Winner
Half-Life: Alyx
Nioh 2
Streets of Rage 4

Hades should probably be GotY, but action game??? In the grand tradition of games like Diablo, Torchlight, and Bastion? Why the hell was this pegged as an action game?


Best RPG winner

Final Fantasy 7 Remake – Winner
Genshin Impact
Persona 5 Royal
Wasteland 3
Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Oooooooh, it was so they could hand the RPG award to the latest awful train wreck FF game. In what fucking world does FF7 Remake beat out Persona 5?


Best action/adventure game

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Ghost of Tsushima
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
The Last of Us Part II – Winner

Wait, "action" and "action/adventure" are 2 separate categories??? STOP INVENTING CATEGORIES JUST TO GIVE MORE AWARD TO LAST OF US! I guess even these craven assholes couldn't bring themselves to call a Naughty Dog title an outright action game.


Best Fighting Game

Who still gives a shit about this genre? Why not a best Counterstrike category while we're at it?


Best Family Game


Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Winner
Crash Bandicoot 5: It's About Time
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
Minecraft Dungeons
Paper Mario: The Origami King

Ah yes, gather the family around the TV on game night to play...Paper Mario?? Da fuq? How many fucking RPGs did they leave out of the RPG category just to blow SquareEnix?


Best SIM/Strategy game winner

Crusader Kings III
Desperados III
Gears Tactics
Microsoft Flight Simulator – Winner
XCOM: Chimera Squad

Okay, they TOTALLY fucked around with the categories just to hand awards to big sponsors. "Action" needs 2 separate categories, but strategy has to be condensed into "Sim", just so they could include Flight Simulator, an abandoned genre even deader than fighting games.


Best sports/racing game winner

Dirt 5
F1 2020
FIFA 21
NBA 2K21
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 – Winner

What category should "sim" be condensed into? Racing, which simulates controlling a vehicle exactly like a flight sim? Nah, throw it in with "strategy". Fighting games? Flight sims? Tony Hawk? Score a fucking hat trick for 3 genres/franchises nobody has given a shit about in nearly 2 decades.



Game news reveals:

New Mass Effect- Fool me twice...

New Halo- Just kidding, it's Master Chief in Fortnite.

Back 4 Blood- Turtle Rock finally making the Left 4 Dead sequel we wanted instead of that disaster Evolve.


Fuck everything. Roll the calendar forward already.
