No this shit happens at every award show. Reminder that the oscars shut down any recognition for the visual effects studio that did life of pi when they won
It's pretty funny how blatant they are about it. One guy out of a team of people says a sentence and the music's already blaring, meanwhile any director or actor gets time to recite their whole life story. Shit's absolutely fricked.
The Oscar's hardly focus on their own industry, they use that cancerous show as a grandstand to cry about Republicans for 2 hours. On top of that, it's not a good thing to be as self obsessed and insular as Hollywood is with that award show, which are the two reasons why absolutely no one watches it anymore. If you aren't part of their little club of rich leftist israelites they do everything in their power to keep you out and make you the enemy. Only self hating white liberals and Twitter Black folk subject themselves to such vile garbage. At least the TGA's show trailers for new games the majority of the time.
you're the same people. your kind always does this. once the inevitable conclusion of your moronic ideology becomes apparent as everyone knew it was you rebrand to try and wash your hands clean of everything
Shut the FRICK UP MUTT. Liberals can only exist in capitalistic, money chasing sold out prostitute societies. It's why you APES came up with Neoliberalism.

Only in America, because they've been mindfricked via common use to not understand what liberalism is. It all stems from the Red Scare and the fact that outing yourself as a socialist or communists essentially political death sentence so these people would always preface their criticism of America and Liberal democracies with "I'm a Liberal but..." and the people who would call them out would do so by naming them "Liberals"
Just like "literally" being recognized as it's antonym "figuratively" "liberal" in America has been twisted to mean it's exact opposite. You've got "Liberals" advocating against core principles of liberalism, such as Freedom of speech, Free association and the Free market.
The rest of the world, this is not the case.

the more i look at socialism, communism, and capitalism, the more i realize all three of these things had legitimacy for basically seconds. free market capitalism as described by the founding fathers was lost in less than 100 years to mega corporations. it didn't even make it into the 1900s.
the game awards are particularly egregious. All people want is for a team of reviewers who actually play games to vote for things intelligently, for the winner to come up and talk for a few minutes about whatever, and that's it. Instead we get panelists who probably haven't even played the games they voted on voting on what they think the audience wants to see or voting in their own self interest, a very brief ceremony that's basically take the award and go, followed by 20 minutes of ads for shit nobody cares about. The ads have no idea who their target demographic so we get incredibly cringey shit that appeals to no one. The game awards suck, it makes the Oscars actually look entertaining.
No, it’s different. Especially since the death of E3, TGA is some monstrous chimera of product placement, star power, and awards in between with little interest in the awards part. GOTY didn’t even speak for a minute.
>hey geoff, I just wanted say I love the halo series and thie new game is looking good >okay can we please get back to talking about mountain dew and doritos here!
It wasn't really a problem until this year, and the reason it was a problem this year was because last year the Black person who voices Kratos took like 8 minutes to give his acceptance speech and wasn't even done when they cut to commercial.
Yes. He presented one of the awards and revealed he plays a character in some Starcraft clone rts. He was frankly one of the least awkward instances of a celebrity taking up too much mic time last night though.
>These Award Shows are nothing more than highly politicized circle jerks.
More like minimally politicized. They performatively pay lip service to social issues then it's right back to the commercials.
People were outright told they weren't allowed to mention a certain ongoing conflict.
If they gave him an award he'd be dancing to their tune too, don't be fooled
Not like they would, everything Obsidian did after New Vegas was a dumpster fire
More devs should take a page from Kratos's voice actor and just say what they want to say. Frick wrapping up their speeches after less than a minute so some unfunny actor can bomb at telling jokes.
Award shows are just israelites showering other israelites with praise so they can make more money from moronic goyim
You should be ashamed of yourself if you watched this garbage
bg3 acheived what he always wanted to achieve, classic rpg status, but without him

irrelevant, Sawyer got 18 months and had to reuse 90% of the assets from FO3 while Swen got 6 years and easily a hundred million to make BG3. that's why sawyer is salty as frick.
New Vegas is not Sawyer's baby, PoE is and it's a mediocre game that sold itself based on nostalgia for infinity engine games, this is what he can't accept about Deadfire's commercial failure. The first game was not good and people simply did not buy the second for more of the same
sawyer is long over new vegas which is over 10 fricking years old. Hes mad that his handfull of RPGs after the fact got almost 0 recognition and now a generic DnD fantasy game has journos going FINALLY CRPGs ARE BACK while sawyer was literally year over year making shitty CRPGs.

sawyers baby was his version of darklands but since FNV wasn't a huge hit and neither Pillars games made them big money he will never get the chance to make that game. on top of that obsidian now has to use their Pillars IP to make a TES-lite game which is insult to injury.

nah capcom cant match something like darklands. i would really like to see sawyer have a good chance at it.
he's an OG from the golden age of CRPG. However, he never got the fame that people like Chris Avellone, Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky did. His brainchild series, Pillars of Eternity, absolutely flopped and he has been seething about other CRPG throwbacks succeeding ever since.
AP had bad writing. The game was bad, the only reason people like it is because it implements a neat idea of actually meaningfully expanding action games with choices
his classic crpg work is icewind dale bro. an incredibly mediocre game and its even more mid sequel.
the only game josh worked on that wasn't a joke that people remotely like and discuss is fallout new vegas.
its the main reason its the only game he ever discusses working on now that pillars is 100% dead with no hope of a 3rd game
>he's an OG from the golden age of CRPG
No he's not, he's someone hwo came in after the golden age and make a bunch of forgettable trash and also New Vegas
Sawyer had his dick sucked for years as the pinnacle of RPG devs until Larian came around and blew him the frick out. Now he's stuck in a perpetual state of sour grapes. I'm sure Avellone is right there with him.
>hes not "mad"
Lol hes been calling up swen and seething since dos2. this homie threw in a random ass turn based mode into deadfire in a last-ditch effort to get it to sell despite the fact pillars encounter design doesn't fit turn based
>this homie threw in a random ass turn based mode into deadfire in a last-ditch effort to get it to sell despite the fact pillars encounter design doesn't fit turn based
It's the only reason i played the game, seems like he made a good decision. >seething since dos2
you're seeing things that aren't there.
He's a legendary CRPG writer and developer, that's known for being involved with pretty much anyone's CRPG, if they are serious. Yet a European indie studio with Chinese investment, was able to create a AAA CRPG that gets mainstream awards.
Now everyone is asking him why his games never received that much attention, when the studio he works for is very well known for dedicating practically zero funding for game development.
It's a west vs even more west issue with game development funding.
>He's a legendary CRPG writer and developer
icewind dale 1 and 2 suck
alpha protocol sucks but morons like to think there unique for liking dogshit
Neverwinter nights 2 sucks dick
Pillars 1 and 2 are sleepy time rpgs
nobody played pentiment
the only game people like that he worked on is new vegas
im an avid crpg player. no those games suck and if you like them you just have shit taste or never played them
theres a reason everyone tells you to play bg 1/2 > fallout 1/2 > planescape > Arcanum > than if you must uhh icewind dale but only the first nobody likes the 2nd to even give it a pity recommend.

IWD were always billed as the pure gameplay games for mechanics-oriented autists. They were never maligned in the way you're trying to present it, but I'm sure you're aware of that as an "avid crpg player".
alpha protocol was a great game all the way up until execution. unfortunately the execution sucked. worse than bloodlines even, but with almost as much potential.
>HERE TO GENTLY REMIND YOU CHUDS THAT BG3 WAS MADE BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF WE CAN'T POSSIBLY REPLICATE SUCH STANDARDS OY BEY
He's super ass raped that Baldur's Gate 3 is slightly less mediocre than the slop he's been pushing.
Also he's been seething about Larian since forever. He made a whole panel talk about how Divinity Original Sin 2 raped his mother and took a shit on his chest. He didn't want to admit Pillars of Eternity 2 Gay Fish edition was simply shit in comparison.
To be honest, I'd be seething too if I was in Sawyer's position. He's talented enough to recognize mediocrity in CRPG writing, and Larianslop becoming a smash hit must really chafe his ass raw.
>overwritten loredump with no substance, no likeable characters and no reason to care about the story >talented enough when it come to CRPG writing

playing pillars felt like the writer was jerking off in front of me like "oh my god look how deep my prose is"
larian writing feels way less egotistical and is just simple and effective for getting you involved
He's worked on all of these games and his anus has been devastated since Larian suddenly became the greatest and most loved CRPG dev on the planet without him in the mid 2010s
to be fair, it's almost understandable
most of the people who "lurve bg3 omg" are secondary fans who don't play games, but watch them on twitch
we live in weird times
there's a big part of gaming (community, devs, outlets etc) that has an atavic inferiority complex and they keep trying to get some form of acknowledgment from the rest of the population

>entire head / neck exposed >all of his joints are also exposed
knives are one of the deadliest weapons in the world. The only defense against them is to be fully suited up head to toe in plate mail. Even chainmail won't do shit to protect you against the thrust of a sharp knife. Once he's on the ground its hard to get back up with all that weight on him, making him an easy target. It's why knights used to carry them alongside their main weapons.

Josh Sawyer lives in California.
The chances of him being stabbed are 1000x more likely than Swen Vincke, who lives in 95% white Belgium. I am American and you are a delusional leftist.
Frick no. First his car will get broken into, then a homeless man will attempt to stab him. And then when he gets home in the evening he'll get shot as he opens the front door. SoCal bruv.

The vast majority of immigration policy in the US is determined by the blue parts on this map. Notice the problem here? People literal hundreds of miles away determined that millions of people should move into California and Florida.
That's why New York has been throwing such a shitfit in the news about receiving busloads of immigrants from Texas which amount to less than 1% of the plague they unleashed upon the southern states.

It'll never happen. California threatens this every election a Republican wins and the end result is just so: there's too much infrastructure reliant on surrounding states like highways and the power grid to ever consider not being part of the Union.
And California is an example of a state that may have a chance at ceding purely because they are big enough with enough industry to remain mostly independent. It's just literally every industry there would collapse overnight if they tried because it's reliant on the Federal Reserve and investment banking to stay soluble.

Damn Glowie being paid overtime, is it that time of the year to recruit for another FBI shooting?
Voting may be pointless at the ultra-israelited federal level. But the only vote that really affects you and the actual, real reason to vote is the state because you live there. Some of the state elections, like Arizona, last election were swung by ~200 votes. That's less than the number of people reading Ganker right now.
And this has a domino effect: The only reason israelite York and the other ultra-billionaire corpos and their governor puppets changed their tune on Immigration is purely because at a different, less israelited layer of government: Some extremely based man won an election in Texas and used a federal loophole to bus immigrants he could not deport up north for settlement. Which immediately resulted in them changing their tune and backtracking on the last 20 years of open borders.
I know you just want to scream in the hopes some loner reading your doomposts gets a little further demoralized, but not voting is the most moronic thing you can do if you care even a little. It's literally just making a short drive, long walk, or just calling for a mail-in ahead of time.

>t. Glowie
no thanks, Id rather let the country implode without my family being murdered and dying
and then the gf who stood there uselessly started a kickstarter in his memory, and used the thousands of dollars that she raised to party and bawd it up
Imagine getting brutally stabbed and murdered in front of supposed 'loved ones' and just no one giving a fricking shit and actually profiting off of it.
I feel this dude died from tripping on the bench, and slamming his head on the railing that prevents homeless people from sleeping on the bench. From the video I think that did 100x more damage the getting stabbed once.
it certainly didnt help, but at the same time he was chased into the bench by the black guy. >join your rifle club >is so spacially unaware he clips his shin on the antihomeless bench and wangs his head on it
The show was a giant ad because video games aren’t art, they’re toys, and people only watched because they want to see which shiny new toys are coming out next
>The companies and individuals that are all getting a ton of free advertising and bonuses for simply being nominated are seething that they only got 20 seconds for a speech
It's because he focuses so hard on the genre. But the characters he writes are so unlikable. He doesn't know how to fix this so he's taking out his anger on social media
sawyer is that GM who tells everyone how to play their character and how to RP. allowing this guy to make any non-systems/mechanics decisions on any game is commercial suicide.
He's right though, no one wants to watch the rock shill his moronic energy drink for 5 minutes and then get a bunch of awards out of the way in 2 seconds
If every award was presented on stage and every developer got as long as they wanted to thank everyone, the event would be like 8 hours long. I will agree though they deserved longer than 30 seconds.
MAN I'm trying desperately to find an older gachi megamix but I can't fricking find. It was like 10 minutes collab or something and it everything. I distinctly remember that SUCK IT AND WRAAAAAAAAAAP IT UUUUUUUUUP kek
>On July 19, 2005, GameSpot reported that he had left Midway's Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, and was accepting a position at Obsidian Entertainment, a studio founded and staffed by many veterans of Black Isle. His first role was as the lead designer for Neverwinter Nights 2.[11]
thats it?
thats fricking it?
He's right that the celebrities are gay. If they actually had someone who was in a game this year I'd get it, right now it's a desperate and sad attempt to be like Hollywood.
>"There are too many celebrities at this joke of an event." >LMAOOOOOOOOO SEETHE AT BALDUR'S GAWD 3, TRANNIES!!!! HE LOST, WE WON HAHAHAHAHAH HE'S SO MAD AT BG3!!!!!!!!
Every thread I see BG3gays invade turns into console wars by a another name.
I wonder if there is some sort of correlation there.
Hey now. Josh is right but he still deserves to be humbled a bit. He spent the last 10 years smugly shitting on everything that made BG3 a success gameplay-wise.
BG3's relation to that tweet is tangential at best, they were at the event Josh is criticizing. That's it.
Jumping to "WELL HE MUST BE SEEEEEEEEEETHING ABOUT [my side], WE WON [my side]SISTERS!!!!" is literally the Sony/Microsoft shitflinger mentality.
Larian isn't my side, but Josh is sitll seething. He has been seething since the first Original Sin was an rpg darling and his perfectly balanced strength wizard simulator PoE was ridiculed by his peers.
It's not even about BG3, it's just /vpol/ hating Sawyer for being a basedfornia b***h. The same people are posting in BG3 threads about how pozzed and degenerate it is spamming lolbearsex
Well yeah, thats what happens when corporate husk like geoff host these things.
If you really want something for devs, then the devs should make a show of their own
just another miserable frick looking to shit on someones parade, yeah we couldn't fit the 500 person dev team for these games on stage, dumb homosexual, doesn't make them any less "celebrated", they're still proud their games won awards, and its insulting to the general audience to imply they only see celebrity when most gamers are intelligent enough to know games aren't made by 1 person
He's right, and it's going to stay that way so long as it stays centralized around Geoff himself. It needs to stop being the Geoff show because as long as it is, it's just going to be him using it as an opportunity to ingratiate himself to Kojima and his celebrity overlords. The way they pull in actors who obviously don't give a shit is pathetic every year, but this year where they gave so much time to fricking Anthony Mackie and Simu Liu while hurrying the game of the year winners off stage is just ridiculous. I don't even care about the awards part of the show anyway, but spending 10 minutes stroking Kojima's and Peele's egos in the same show that can't even give the people actually making the games that the whole show is based on 2 minutes to accept the award is absurd.
The fact that it's the "Geoff show" is the only hopeful aspect. Without him it would just be full on soulless. Actually a lifeless husk. It feels like he wants it to be a legitimate awards show but he just can't. Too much mainstream appeal, too advertiser friendly, too desperate to shove in celebrities who don't care about vidya. Geoff wanted the biggest vidya awards show, and he got it. But I doubt this is what he envisioned. It's sunk too deep and he can't pull it out.
I used to think that, but it's become increasingly obvious each year how obsessed with Hollywood and Kojima he is, and that's been the worst thing about it. As long as it's "The Geoff Show" it's going to be a show about Geoff desperately trying to appear as legitimate as movies by paying actors to come on and say their kids think games are cool, advertising and awarding movies in "The Game Awards", and dedicating a time slot to stroking Kojima's already massive ego. Someone else needs some creative control over the show if it's ever going to be about anything other than Geoff jerking off every C-lister and up in Hollywood.
Anon, there is only one consistent factor here.
There's one man who's been at the center of the commercialization and hollywoodification of the medium for decades now. Pushing himself constantly to degrade the genre more and more.
Geoff Keighley is not some innocent kind-hearted gaming fan who's just struggling to stay afloat in a medium full of external forces.
Because of him.
He has been the primary pusher of this poisonous fricking slimey homosexual paradigm of games as movies. The Game Awards ideologically constructed from the ground up to push games as a movies. They constantly use Hollywood actors wherever they can. The big setpiece reveal was Kojima showcasing fricking raw, unedited mocap which is just embarassing. They have like half an hour of actors presenting the award for best performance but do not even have an award related to gameplay in any way.
yes, i know, it's embarrassing, but that's what Hollywood and big budget movies mostly boil down to, celebrity wanking. people love their breathtaking celebs and it sells.

>people love their breathtaking celebs and it sells.
all breathtaking celebs are in erotic modeling/porn. Perhaps, even, OF. Dunno, never went there. Not braindead pg movie number over9000 this month. Or videogame. There are almost none very good to really breathtaking celebs, who never did moronic surgeries in diabolical quantities.
Granted, there are SOME, very, very few, truly all around good (enough) looking people, who are celebs. One of the examples is like Geri Halliwell. But what a surprise, she also was a glamour nude model back in the day. She is attractive and needs no fricking award for being born with good genes and taking care of herself.
TL;DR: Less and less people give a shit about so called celebs and it's a good thing. People are getting sober.

True in itself, but is it reflective of the entrie gaming community? Ofc mainstream gaming went pleb tier and was ruined by the stuff you're talking about. Look at Ganker, I mean, how many erotic game threads, who feature no celebs do we here every 24 hours? And also just indie in general.
My point is that most Californian movie stars went from what burgers call the AAA tier down to like B or C. Perhaps it is just me and a few more people like me, but people don't watch nearly as many movies and as much tv anymore, I think. I wouldn't know 90% of the people currently in the Hollywood if I saw them on the street. People I would know are still all from 80's, 90's and some obviously from 00's. Like the Cybeprunk 2077 (not shite DLC) example and Keanu. I know Keanu because he was in Matrix and other movies in the (late) 90's. If he were to first emerge in the recent years/decade(s), I wouldn't have a clue who he is and why. You see it, in genuine form, on Ganker all the time too. >so and so from this and that
who?
On the other hand, plenty of people from the internet became "celebs" and in 2023 they overshadow the entire hollywood. Kids and teens probably have no fricking idea who Harrison Ford is, but they sure know about Ninja and top tier OF models. and such. Plus the stats say that the average gamer is like what? 30 years old? kek.
TL;DR: Hollywood celebs is mostly for boomers, not just smoothbrain drooling coonsooomers, I guess, is what I'm saying. So I think, this practice will die out sooner than we imagine.
How are there STILL people that give this clown the benefit of the doubt? He's the driving force that makes this award soulless, because he himself has been a soulless ghoul since day 1.
And yet who would listen to the maker of the dullest RPG of all time? Each attempt Obsidian makes to create their own universe rather than simply deconstruct a setting made by others, has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the outdated gameplay and lifeless cities, Pillars of Eternity's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of combat mechanics, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original; he made sure the game would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable nostalgia pandering to ageing Baldur's Gate fans. Pillars of Eternity might be anti-casual(or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Divinity series in its refusal of spontaneity, fun and excitement.
>a-at least the writing was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time I engaged in dialogue with an NPC the game presented me with a Wiki-page style infodump instead of anything resembling actual human conversation.
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sawyer's mind is so governed by obsession with pointless minutiae of the lore that he has no other style of writing.
Later I read a lavish, loving review of Pillars of Eternity by the same David Gaider. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kiddies are playing Obsidian games at 17 or 18, then when they get older they will go on to enjoy Dragon Age II." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
why the frick was that dune kid giving the award for best game of the year? what the frick is this trash? that should tell you how irrelevant the game awards are
dorito pope always gets some big(ish) name celeb to give award, and it's always accompanied by cringe, soulless corporate speech or "wow games these days sure look great" bit
>why the frick was that dune kid giving the award for best game of the year?
ironically he's an actual gamer for once, he even had a youtube channel about modding xbox controllers lmao but yeah the only reason he's there is ebcause he's an hollywood celeb
15 minutes of Hideo Kojima life screen circejerking with Geoff having the time of his life. Hollywood up in there pretending to be relevant. I hate Geoff and Hideo.
Publisher's don't want you talking about developers. EA, Ubisoft, Activision, and a ton of other western publishers do their best to make sure dev studios are obscured on the box and ads.
Because if the casual audience knows who made and directed their favorite video games, then those developers would become harder and harder to replace.
Activision fricking over Zampella and West on their royalties for Call of Duty should have been as big as when Christopher Nolan got screwed over by WB. But there wasn't a peep from even the gaming media, which is exactly how Activision likes it.
If there was an award show that celebrated developers, every publisher would boycott it.

Holy shit an actual intelligent and on topic post instead of low iq shitposting about Sawyer seething I'm legit amazed.

TGA had always been shit. hence why the GankerGA was started. unfortunately that's also shit and got hijacked by plebbit after just one attempt (which was also shit because morons thought being a comedian and making funny skits is easy).
Why the frick are Timothy Chalamet and Jordan Peele even in this? Then that stupid Black person that plays Falcon in the marvelslop goes on stage completely high on drugs. TGA has always been a joke
The first one is Tim Caine. And the "seething at Larian" thing is something people just made up. I've yet to actually see a single instance of him being disrespectful towards Larian. It's a farce.
Kek you can never be woke enough huh? This is why leftoids cannibalize each other it's just the ever self serving side until you're no longer useful for the group and then you're done.
only time ive ever agreed with him lol
i just found out kojima is making a game with jordan peele and the stranger things girl is going to be in it, two hacks working on a movie game, cringe
Chalamet giving the award for best game should tell you how much of a joke this is. At least get people from the industry to give the most important award in your shitty show for fricks sake.
Josh, I can't and won't make this any simpler for you.
You failed at CRPGs. You failed. When one thinks of what a game is capable of, pushing players to the limits physically, mentally and emotionally to feel sensations and emotions never before mentioned, your game will not be whispered in the same, reverent fashion that others have.
Nobody will remember Josh Sawyer. You aren't even a header or a footer in the career of someone else. You are nobody. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
In short, your games are an enormous failure.
Josh, being that you're a "seasoned" game developer, and your brain has probably hard-wired itself to accept such failures by now and write off such criticism by being "flippant", really suggests that you've passed beyond the proverbial breaking-point. There's no turning back. This is your career, this is what defines you and this is what you'll defend to the end.
The abhorrent failure that is Pillars 1&2, Josh Sawyer, that is your legacy.
Maybe I'm over-reaching, however. Who knows? People CAN change. Maybe you'll read this, Josh, and think long and hard about what a wasteful life you've led. Maybe you'll think, "wow. It's incredible just how poor of a game Pillars really was!" Maybe you'll lift some weights in the morning. Maybe you'll think long and hard about what makes a good game before you dev your next one, if at all.
Maybe in a couple of years, Josh, you'll have learned from this failure. I doubt it, though.
I genuinely doubt it.
Now excuse me, I have to check the current and peak player count for Baldur's Gate III. Steam database projects we'll be over 1 million simultaneous players soon.
>literally complaining about Sven not being given enough time to speak >GUYS HE'S JUST MAD ABOUT BG3 WINNING HE'S MAD HE'S SO MAD LMAO BG3 WOOOOOOOOON
How are you people this consistently fricking moronic?
>so bad at reading people he think hes going to outright say what is upsetting him instead of complaining about the whole event instead which is much safer
Then he would have chosen something else to complain about, and not literally Sven not being given enough time to talk. This is the last thing he would complain about if he was upset about BG3 winning. Especially compared to... what other contenders this year?
Those quotes regarding BG3 were so weirdly interpreted by people. It's just some simple paranoia from devs, thinking that this massive game will make players view their smaller scale games with contempt or something, when they just can't match that scope because they don't have the same budget or manpower. These quotes are directed at players, it's a plea for understanding really.
It's a misplaced fear, but overall innocuous. But people interpreted it as some kind of aggression towards BG3? It's so moronic. Why do you pretend it's something that it isn't? You know what it actually is, but you're choosing to pretend it's outrage bait. Why?
yeah I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and pretend he didn't sound like a salty gay with those comments he made but
>josh is STILL mad about Larian Studios >josh will NEVER stop being mad about Larian Studios
lmfaoooooooooo
this proves that he's just mindbroken and can't understand how some other game sold while his boring as shit one didn't. BG3 isn't perfect, frick the writing is atrocious. but it's definitely not boring. well except for the combat.
The writing is standard YA level shit especially for the dialogue. Though iirc BG2 was not much better and was rather unwieldily at points though I'd argue that probably has just as much to do with the quality of the writing as the limitations of the engine. Voice acting, visuals, and animation do a lot to BG3s service and is probably the reason it's writing is not catching nearly as much flak.
>It's just some simple paranoia from devs, thinking that this massive game will make players view their smaller scale games with contempt or something,
this would hold more weight if it was actually smaller scale devs saying it
Suck a dick Josh. You sold your ass, like a prostitute, to Pajeetsoft. The biggest israelites ever. You have more shekels than Larian yet you shat out Outer Worlds and AVOWED which looks like dogshit.
Elden Ring is unfinished game that has unfairly bad boss fight design, but no one has balls to speak it up
Baldur Gate 3 is unfinished game that has unfairly bad companion design, but no one has balls to speak it up
They are really the same.
Sawyer and Swen both went through: >Make games both independently and publisher backing for games >Bust your ass for decades only to be known as a literal who, finally get cult status with game forums and sites >Get critically acclaimed successes
But then… >Sawyer: Finally get position as game director, botch it so badly it becomes the worst selling game in your company’s history >Swen: Make a runaway critical and commercial success and keeps being the head of the studio
Swen actually got much worse. Sawyer started his carrer at Black Isle even tough it was after their golden age but it allowed him to connect from the start with industry legends, Swen is a game dev from a country full of sheep frickers and inbreds
>All the posts in this thread trying to paint this as him being upset BG3 won
He's assmad at the Game Awards, certainly, since apparently they announced last year's nominees before Pentiment even released, but he's clearly arguing that Swen should've had more than a millisecond to give his acceptance speech.
There’s never been any legitimacy to the Game Awards (tm). It’s just Geoff Keighley planting his flag and saying “see, this is the totally OFFICIAL industry awards show that determines what the REAL GOTY is. Starring Geoff Keighley (me). Now pay me advertising money.”
Being organized by that dude from that shitty early 2000s cable channel does not provide legitimacy.
t. Have never watched a single Game Awards and never will
Oh, so he's upset about AnalShit2 winning anything at all? I can respect that. That forgetable shit can't be anything goty. Pretty much like PoE2:Deadbore.
Why do people say that Sawyer is "seething" over BG3? He made a post saying "don't expect things like BG3 to ever be repeated again in this industry" which is literally true? It's a sequel to (although popular at the time) a niche game franchise in a niche genre of games with a HUGE budget, fully voice acted, autistic levels of detail in terms of character interaction, tons of content etc. It's literally the "idea man" game that should not exist in a modern industry plagued by triple big budget games existing solely to fleece money from people via microtransactions, DLC etc.
Is it because everyone here is autistic and doesn't know how to interpret words on the screen? He's very clearly not seething?
>he is absolutely seething
How can you actually think this, he's seething at the game industry being shit because of how fricking ad-focused the game awards was, which is objectively true? You people are so bad at reading emotions.
The thing is the guy posts a valid criticism of the game awards thats been said for years and the counterarguement is just to make it personal rather than address anything he said, instead to say he is saying it because 'hes mad' about something else. That alone shows hes right considering what the counterarguement looks like.
Sawyer has been seething about the DOS games for years. It's no secret that he wanted the sales and recognition that Larian received. What makes it especially personal for him is that Larian was so successful by doing the things he hated (turn-based combat, silly tone, voice acting, environmental interactions).
[...] >I know nothing about the history of CRPGs
Sawyer is 100% jealous and his conferences have always shown this
Explain how
>hes not "mad"
Lol hes been calling up swen and seething since dos2. this homie threw in a random ass turn based mode into deadfire in a last-ditch effort to get it to sell despite the fact pillars encounter design doesn't fit turn based
is him seething about DOS. It's literally just him saying "I hope Pillars of Eternity can take off like Divinity did" which, while objectively delusional, is not him """""""seething""""""" by any means. If people were just making fun of Sawyer for objectively getting mogged by Larian's success that's fair, but to think he's "mad" about BG3 being successful like some of the TOTK/spiderman posters on here is genuinely insane.
He blamed DOS for having to add voiceacting to Deadfire. Tell me you've never browsed /vrpg/ before because this shit is a dead horse over there and well established
>blamed
He said DOS had voice acting and was received well, so he added voice acting as a result.
How is that blaming?
alright josh, its time to put the phone down
>He's a legendary CRPG writer and developer
icewind dale 1 and 2 suck
alpha protocol sucks but morons like to think there unique for liking dogshit
Neverwinter nights 2 sucks dick
Pillars 1 and 2 are sleepy time rpgs
nobody played pentiment
the only game people like that he worked on is new vegas
Posts like these genuinely have me convinced that anyone that keeps pushing this shit meme of purposefully pretending this guy has any sort of ire towards Larian are just underaged people that probably haven't actually played more than like, 5 hours of BG3 and just want to participate in threads.
>He said DOS had voice acting and was received well, so he added voice acting as a result.
Correct, DOS was the cause of him adding something he didn't want to. He said DOS was the cause. That means he assigned blame to DOS. You have 0 reading comprehension.

its just straight wrong. hes saying that bg3 is abnormal because larain self funds their own games after 2 decades of barely staying afloat and taking funding from big sutidos is actually uhhh le harder somehow.
homie your studio is own by microsoft, one of the biggest corporations on the planet with infinite funding and time looking at how long its taking for avowed to be made. you just suck
>Why do people say that Sawyer is "seething" over BG3?
Because BG3 fans are incredible degenerates. They even become feral when you put a dick on a woman's body.
i really don't care when the devs themselves don't respect the medium and try so desperately to imitate another
The majority of AAA games are garbage that try to be less games and more movies, so don't go cry about movie stars or whatever.
Those quotes regarding BG3 were so weirdly interpreted by people.

I mean, for a show about awarding the years best games, only about an hour or less amount of time was actual awards and the rest was advertisements and mobile game bullshit.
The rushing of the winners off stage so they next shill advertisement could be played was pretty jarring.
Why do these ritualposters keep bringing up the "Gay fish" part specifically from Pillars of Eternity 2? I mean I know why, it's probably the only screenshot they've actually seen of the game, but it's more jarring to me because Baldurs Gate 3 objectively has more LGBT content by far (literal fricking on-screen sex scenes) but it's okay because(????????)
The Kojima stuff has gone beyond parody at this point. I used to joke that Geoff blows Kojima backstage, but at this point I'd actually be surprised if that DIDN'T happen at each show.
Geoff is a paid shill and Kojimbo is a salesman. They’ve got a symbiotic thang going on for some time but now Geoff is desperate for da juice and Kojimbo is desperate to promote his shitty new game so it all looks more pathetic suddenly.
I genuinely don't understand how Kojima is having all these celebrities flock to him. I think they just see him as this esoteric foreign artisan because their PA told them he was, so they're just saying frick it and rubbing shoulders with him.
there's much more money in video games than in hollywood these days
parasitising yourself to a few franchises is a forward thinking move, even if you hold disdain for the medium, as many of them seem to
mobile gaming is doing those fricking numbers? I legitimately thought mobile gaming died, fricking angry birds was a thing and flappy bird but since then nothing
its gacha shit in the third world, but even than idk at work i see people on there phones playing generic anime gacha shit and surely some of them really are spending money.

>geoff butt buddy gets an absurd amount of time
uh yeah? were you not paying attention to the last 5 game awards when Kojima gets whole sections dedicated to himself with geoff smiling as wide as he can the entire time
I beat Pillars of Eternity and I could not name a single character from it. I think having the cutscenes where the camera comes down close and you see the faces of the characters talking did a lot for BG3; it's way better than two portraits talking at each other.
Even on Pathfinder there are memorable characters and one or two waifu thread pops up on Ganker once in a while, PoE is just bad and BG3 have genuinely good characters in a mediocre story
He's right. I have always rigorously defended hideo kojima because I played MG when it came out and have always been a fan. But seeing him walk out on stage with Lebrons and a huge iced out kojima productions medallion made me feel sick. By the end of the night sam lake is dancing around in some kind of lame showbiz production? I get exactly what they're trying to do, increase social media visibility. And I don't like seeing this it sucks
The Game Awards' presentation gets worse and worse every year and every year they have to ram more rapidfire award reveals that get 10 seconds of announcement instead of something like the oscars where even the more mundane technical stuff gets a few minutes to themselves, because they have to stick more and more dumb publicity stunts into it.
Might as well give up on the whole awards bit and any pretense of taking this seriously and just make this Winter Gamesfest instead
Is this Josh ''Trans Rights Are Humans Rights'' Sawyer? THE Josh Sawyer?
>sven who doesn't give a shit about idendity politics is also mogging him when it comes to lefty praising his game for diversity on top of everything else
all this virtue signaling for nothing...
Geoff just wants his company to be the one controlling the big reveal stuff now that the ESA can't get their shit together to run E3. The award show part is irrelevant. That's also why he's randomly inserted himself into Gamescom too.
People seething about the award side of this awards show are correct, but also people forget that nobody is watching for the awards. People are watching because this is the new e3.
I can tell you, the reason I watched is not to find out who won the GOTY. I watched hoping to see some cool new games (there were none)
That may be the case, but nobody's watching to see mediocre actors and Kojima get their wieners sucked either. I can forgive not much time being spent on the awards to show actual games, even if there are still some issues with that, but having such a small amount of time spent on the awards while also spending so much time on celebrities is ridiculous.
I think being called a void of charisma one too many times broke him. So he tried to be discount Will Smith and looked as pathetic and clownish as it sounds. Everybody already knows he's a grumpy, humorless, self serious guy irl so he might as well just own it in my opinion.
whiny fricking homosexual. if hes so great why does nobody give a frick about him while absolute hacks like todd, kojima or that larian pedophile get fellated 7 days a week on here.
oh, because hes a washed up has been and barely even that. keep coping josh gayyer
I'm not going to like, I kind of agree. Games like Planescape and Disco Elysium are among my favorites, but they're more akin to visual novels than actual games.
>Planescape and Disco Elysium
Those were purposefully designed to some extent to be more reading than fighting. I like turn-based combat, what I don't like is the tabletop rule frickery and having to study guides before making a character
>Planescape and Disco Elysium

i've wanted to play this for so long but holy frick is the gameplay bad
It's also on my list but I have so many ''classics'' already on my backlog, somes I even consider just watching a narrative recap on youtube and be done with it. CRPGS are really a genre where you are either hooked from start or waste 30 hours trying to ''get into it ''
Disco Elysium is great because it doesn't bother with boring ass tactical RPG shit where you have to shuffle dudes across a grid just to punch out some goblins or something. There's only a few things that can actually be considered "combat" and they're resolved fairly quickly and in different ways.

It has to be at least 20%, it's fricking absurd how every single show has a 10-minute segment dedicated to Kojima alone, who hasn't produced anything of value since the PS2 days
>Kratos VA goes on stage >HAHA OKAY I WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME >still takes up a lot of time saying fricking nothing
Don't get me started on Kojima and Peele.
>Made wokeass game with no substance and is forgotten in weeks >Lariat makes a game pandering to everyone's fetishes and a great mechanical game to boot >Wins goty
Yeah he's a mad b***h.
pillars would have been better if
1. turn based
2. every inconsequential character didnt exposition a book of meaningless jargon that goes nowhere and means nothing
3. wasnt so grim and dreary
4. had some semblance of balancr
5. was a better game
E3 was neat because on its face it was just video game ads, so you knew what you were getting into. The Game Awards wants to pretend its some prestigious awards show but its just video game ads with more wienersucking, not to say the oscars and the grammies are the exact same but those are about 10-15 years from extinction so its not exactly a good base to model off of
The Grammies and Oscars can also claim that the atendees are the products themselves. You don't need an ad for Taylor's next album because she is there signing and you don't need an trailer for Del Toro's next movie because he is there giving a 10 minute speech. The nature of the music industry and film industry makes them value individuals and autorship, sure it was not always like that, but only Kojima and a few others are the exception. The regular person who claims New Vegas is their favorite game doesn't know who the frick sawyer or avellone are and that's partially due to gaming being a low brow and low effort hobby
>Having to be told that money is corrupting your beloved hobby
Are you one of those 50% of the population that doesn't have an 'inner voice?'
If anything, video game award shows are entertaining akin to watching a car accident.
Not wrong
All the time is devoted to shitty actors and the actual devs get like 10n
seconds to talk about their game award at the GAME AWARDS (which they crammed like 6 awards into the last 4 minutes)
>jeff didn't mention layoffs in the worst year for diversity hires and LGBT hacks >ESG is literally imploding
no wonder woke left and troonyies are buttmad at him
dont get too excited, most core development teams are still homosexual sanfran yuppy libs. You can get rid of the 4th generation chinese american troony but you wont get rid of whitey mcguiltsalot who is probably MORE adamant about the protagonist being a Black person. I hate to sell out my own race but leftwing whites are worse than normal asians/mexicans/blacks
>whitey mcguiltsalot who is probably MORE adamant about the protagonist being a Black person
not american but for me the worst thing about all this is that it's just a pose and despicable form of cynicism. deep down these buttholes actually hate blacks as much as any other group that doesn't cater to their homosexual sensibilities.
oh absolutely, I live in a pretty liberal area and people I know generally consider me racist, but whenever theres a new black/mexican/asian hired at work, I hit it off with them while the gays never click, because they want a pet black to absolve their white guilt.
It’s always funny when he gets pissed saying that BG3 has unprecedented funding, while Pillars 1 hit an all time record for funding on Kickstarter and came out as the most mediocre CRPG in years
>This year
The only thing the game awards have been good for is to force company to release a few new trailers in december, and you can watch those afterwards.
Pillars was way too purple for RPGgays to enjoy, which for the most part wouldn't even pay much attention to the prose if the combat and action was good enough.
>seem
If you've been following cRPGs over the 2010s, he definitely is seething. All he wants is another blank check with a team and time to prove he can make a better RPG. He's been asking for it in X for months.
Pillars was far more of a passion project than New Vegas. New Vegas was Sawyer doing what his boss told him to do very well. Pillars and Pillars Deadfire were him completely unbeholden to bosses and able to really spread his wings and fly, and he writes the most boring game in existence that most people dropped within the first hour
Oh yeah, unless it's the game awards.
Voting in the game awards is actually pointless. The "Fan choice" really was just whichever choice the same people who decide GOTY demanded be made the "Fan choice"
she's right
It's always been.
Award shows are moronic in general, no matter how prestigious.
This. I just find it really sad that there's people out there who actually cares about who wins this charade, or the Oscars, or the Ballon D'Or, etc.
at least the oscars or other awards focus exclusively on their industry
No this shit happens at every award show. Reminder that the oscars shut down any recognition for the visual effects studio that did life of pi when they won
It's pretty funny how blatant they are about it. One guy out of a team of people says a sentence and the music's already blaring, meanwhile any director or actor gets time to recite their whole life story. Shit's absolutely fricked.
funny how its never *your* guy eh josh?
You got the wrong guy bro, I'm actually Todd Howard.
The Oscar's hardly focus on their own industry, they use that cancerous show as a grandstand to cry about Republicans for 2 hours. On top of that, it's not a good thing to be as self obsessed and insular as Hollywood is with that award show, which are the two reasons why absolutely no one watches it anymore. If you aren't part of their little club of rich leftist israelites they do everything in their power to keep you out and make you the enemy. Only self hating white liberals and Twitter Black folk subject themselves to such vile garbage. At least the TGA's show trailers for new games the majority of the time.
I’m a socialist but I agree with this chud. I’d rather watch literal commercials than the shitlib circle jerk that is The Oscars.
I'm a socialist too. Kill ALL liberals.
why are leftists so evil and hateful?
We only want to increase the quality of life for everyone. Unfortunately all neolibs must die first.
you're the same people. your kind always does this. once the inevitable conclusion of your moronic ideology becomes apparent as everyone knew it was you rebrand to try and wash your hands clean of everything
Shut the FRICK UP MUTT. Liberals can only exist in capitalistic, money chasing sold out prostitute societies. It's why you APES came up with Neoliberalism.
neoliberals, liberals, leftists, socialists, progressives are all the same thing. you can't just wash your hands of it. everyone knows you're lying shit heads
Dumb moronic Amerimutt. This is why I'm glad right wingers replaced your entire race for cheap Mexican labor.
why are you so upset?
don't give me this horse shit. every single degenerate social policy comes from your homosexual continent. you're the cancer
>neoliberals, liberals, leftists, socialists, progressives are all the same thing.
Only in America, because they've been mindfricked via common use to not understand what liberalism is. It all stems from the Red Scare and the fact that outing yourself as a socialist or communists essentially political death sentence so these people would always preface their criticism of America and Liberal democracies with "I'm a Liberal but..." and the people who would call them out would do so by naming them "Liberals"
Just like "literally" being recognized as it's antonym "figuratively" "liberal" in America has been twisted to mean it's exact opposite. You've got "Liberals" advocating against core principles of liberalism, such as Freedom of speech, Free association and the Free market.
The rest of the world, this is not the case.
I'm not a socialist but I understand your pain. The "Champagne Socialists" make your ideas seem invalid and their stupidly has hurt everyone.
the more i look at socialism, communism, and capitalism, the more i realize all three of these things had legitimacy for basically seconds. free market capitalism as described by the founding fathers was lost in less than 100 years to mega corporations. it didn't even make it into the 1900s.
Frick no, awards are a fricking scam regardless of industry.
the game awards are particularly egregious. All people want is for a team of reviewers who actually play games to vote for things intelligently, for the winner to come up and talk for a few minutes about whatever, and that's it. Instead we get panelists who probably haven't even played the games they voted on voting on what they think the audience wants to see or voting in their own self interest, a very brief ceremony that's basically take the award and go, followed by 20 minutes of ads for shit nobody cares about. The ads have no idea who their target demographic so we get incredibly cringey shit that appeals to no one. The game awards suck, it makes the Oscars actually look entertaining.
No, it’s different. Especially since the death of E3, TGA is some monstrous chimera of product placement, star power, and awards in between with little interest in the awards part. GOTY didn’t even speak for a minute.
>prestigious.
>hey geoff, I just wanted say I love the halo series and thie new game is looking good
>okay can we please get back to talking about mountain dew and doritos here!
>if only you knew how bad things really are
Mountain Dew and Doritos are goated you slit your wrists
>gets said every year
>nothing changes and it's the same song and dance the next
You know if this was an actual problem you'd think devs would just stop turning up no?
That's very naive anon.
Like seriously come on.
Why?
If there were no developers there'd be no show right?
Surely if this is such an affront to the industry they could do it.
Do you think these people have conviction?
It wasn't really a problem until this year, and the reason it was a problem this year was because last year the Black person who voices Kratos took like 8 minutes to give his acceptance speech and wasn't even done when they cut to commercial.
BG3 decimated this guy's brain.
>celebrity
He's a hollywood literal who, hundreds of youtubers are more well known than this random.
That's why it accurately showcases how desperate the award show feels
was the little chinaman actually there?
i think he was there last year
No he was there this year. He was like
>yeahh I love RTS games!! STARCRAAAFT!! AMIRIGHT?
im very glad i never bothered watching it
is the TGA's just going to be an even cringier oscars from now on
Always has been. If you care about the game announcements, just watch them after the show. Why bother sitting through 3 hours of cringe and ads?
Yes. He presented one of the awards and revealed he plays a character in some Starcraft clone rts. He was frankly one of the least awkward instances of a celebrity taking up too much mic time last night though.
They went overboard with hollywood actors this time. Guess we know where all that ad money is going.
They even let based black man have more time to talk than any other award winners again this year
based modern "devs" should fricking rope
Don't forget his yearly Kojima suck off.
does kojima count as a game dev or hollywood celebratory ?
He has reached both status.
Kojima makes some of the best games, twerp
that's just show biz, homosexual
what did you expect some awkward programmer frick telling you about unity scripts to take the stage?
Incredibly based take from Josh.
These Award Shows are nothing more than highly politicized circle jerks.
damn... Todd bros... that's kinda sad.
Maybe we shouldn't have shitposted this hard about Starfield...
It was pretty cringe
Todd is too based for this fricking cringe that is TEH GAYME AWARDS
So thats why he was there last night in the front row?
it's his own fault
he needs to get in touch with reality
his company is a fat cancerous disaster and he needs chemo ASAP
Edited picture, this is when he was smiling when the Fallout tv show was talked about
Anon you ruined my day. I love that picture of sad Todd.
You lost, Todd.
> ITS THE GREATEST DEV TODD HOWARD THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME ONE YEAR OF FAME AS FEMALE VAULT DWELLER
>These Award Shows are nothing more than highly politicized circle jerks.
More like minimally politicized. They performatively pay lip service to social issues then it's right back to the commercials.
People were outright told they weren't allowed to mention a certain ongoing conflict.
If they gave him an award he'd be dancing to their tune too, don't be fooled
Not like they would, everything Obsidian did after New Vegas was a dumpster fire
>Devs
>Deserving respect
dude is at least 20years late
He's right
The Goy Awards is no different from the Goyscars.
as bad and circlejerking as they are, the goyscars are not a 3h+ commercial
But the commercial part is the reason to watch this.
These vidya awards are meaningless.
the trailers arent even worth watching either now
sure but still, it's an industry that wants to be taken seriously and act like a used car salesman
Baldur's Gate III will live in his head rent-free for the rest of his life.
This why we shouldn't mind Genshin being there. Force people to mass vote just to get rewarded with gems in their garbage casino.
He's not wrong, the show has gotten even more circlejerk-y this year.
More devs should take a page from Kratos's voice actor and just say what they want to say. Frick wrapping up their speeches after less than a minute so some unfunny actor can bomb at telling jokes.
Award shows are just israelites showering other israelites with praise so they can make more money from moronic goyim
You should be ashamed of yourself if you watched this garbage
he is so fricking assmad about baldurs gate 3
Quick rundown?
bg3 acheived what he always wanted to achieve, classic rpg status, but without him
he never got approval from homosexual tim cain and other (literal) oldgays
it broke his brain
Dude is just butthurt that he got pushed off the stage last night while celebrities and Hideo Kojima got 5-10 minutes of speech time
He wasn't even there, why do most Ganker posters just post about things they know nothing about?
>make games forever
>make successful games too
>concept for BG3 falls apart
>make lots of 'flawed masterpieces'
>never get a blank check to work on the game you want to make in the way you want to

>swen makes games forever

>second big breakout is divOS2
>support that game as well for 2 years
>get opportunity to make BG3 with a blank check
>make BG3 and everybody loves it
>game is still broken and unfinished but makes more money than god
>basically get to frick sawyers wife
F:NV is the GOAT
BG3 will never top it
irrelevant, Sawyer got 18 months and had to reuse 90% of the assets from FO3 while Swen got 6 years and easily a hundred million to make BG3. that's why sawyer is salty as frick.
New Vegas is not Sawyer's baby, PoE is and it's a mediocre game that sold itself based on nostalgia for infinity engine games, this is what he can't accept about Deadfire's commercial failure. The first game was not good and people simply did not buy the second for more of the same
sawyer is long over new vegas which is over 10 fricking years old. Hes mad that his handfull of RPGs after the fact got almost 0 recognition and now a generic DnD fantasy game has journos going FINALLY CRPGs ARE BACK while sawyer was literally year over year making shitty CRPGs.
sawyers baby was his version of darklands but since FNV wasn't a huge hit and neither Pillars games made them big money he will never get the chance to make that game. on top of that obsidian now has to use their Pillars IP to make a TES-lite game which is insult to injury.
>sawyers baby was his version of darklands
I'd honestly like to see a modern Darklands, Dragon's Dogma at least kinds of fills in that aesthetic for me (kind of)
Wartales is pretty much modern Darklands. 14th century not-europe, no magic except for some monters in the world, band of mercenaries, 4 or 5 huge regions, xcom-lite combat, perma death, you get to make choices and shit, full VO
nah capcom cant match something like darklands. i would really like to see sawyer have a good chance at it.
he made a generic forgettable bland high fantasy crpg twice
he's an OG from the golden age of CRPG. However, he never got the fame that people like Chris Avellone, Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky did. His brainchild series, Pillars of Eternity, absolutely flopped and he has been seething about other CRPG throwbacks succeeding ever since.
>OG
what has he written?
Icewind Dale games, Neverwinter Nights 2, Alpha Protocol, and New Vegas.
so nothing
thanks for the confirmation
>so nothing
>I don't care about it so it's nothing
based narcisist frickboi
no, its just objective trash
post objectively good writing in videogames, can't be the only one who wants to laugh.
AP had bad writing. The game was bad, the only reason people like it is because it implements a neat idea of actually meaningfully expanding action games with choices
his classic crpg work is icewind dale bro. an incredibly mediocre game and its even more mid sequel.
the only game josh worked on that wasn't a joke that people remotely like and discuss is fallout new vegas.
its the main reason its the only game he ever discusses working on now that pillars is 100% dead with no hope of a 3rd game
pillars didn't flop. but it definitely didn't set the world on fire. as for PoE 2, I still haven't made it past the first hour. it's boring.
>he's an OG from the golden age of CRPG
No he's not, he's someone hwo came in after the golden age and make a bunch of forgettable trash and also New Vegas
Larian has stolen this moron commie's thunder every single step of the way.
Sawyer had his dick sucked for years as the pinnacle of RPG devs until Larian came around and blew him the frick out. Now he's stuck in a perpetual state of sour grapes. I'm sure Avellone is right there with him.
>I'm sure Avellone is right there with him.
He's too busy being depressed and fricking mentally ill women that are going to accuse him of rape later
nobody thinks larian is good
>nobody thinks the studio that created game of the year is good
simmer down Josh, it's not healthy.
/ourguy/
he's not ""mad"" about anything, ignore the homosexuals
>hes not "mad"
Lol hes been calling up swen and seething since dos2. this homie threw in a random ass turn based mode into deadfire in a last-ditch effort to get it to sell despite the fact pillars encounter design doesn't fit turn based
>this homie threw in a random ass turn based mode into deadfire in a last-ditch effort to get it to sell despite the fact pillars encounter design doesn't fit turn based
It's the only reason i played the game, seems like he made a good decision.
>seething since dos2
you're seeing things that aren't there.
Larian and Swen have unintentionally been stealing his thunder for the last 10 years.
He's a legendary CRPG writer and developer, that's known for being involved with pretty much anyone's CRPG, if they are serious. Yet a European indie studio with Chinese investment, was able to create a AAA CRPG that gets mainstream awards.
Now everyone is asking him why his games never received that much attention, when the studio he works for is very well known for dedicating practically zero funding for game development.
It's a west vs even more west issue with game development funding.
>Now everyone is asking him why his games never received that much attention
No one was asking that.
>He's a legendary CRPG writer and developer
icewind dale 1 and 2 suck
alpha protocol sucks but morons like to think there unique for liking dogshit
Neverwinter nights 2 sucks dick
Pillars 1 and 2 are sleepy time rpgs
nobody played pentiment
the only game people like that he worked on is new vegas
have a nice day tourist
t. Josh
>eerrrrrrrrrrmmmmm alll those games?
>yeeeeeeeeep..... kiiiiiiiiind of crap, dontchya thunk?
im an avid crpg player. no those games suck and if you like them you just have shit taste or never played them
theres a reason everyone tells you to play bg 1/2 > fallout 1/2 > planescape > Arcanum > than if you must uhh icewind dale but only the first nobody likes the 2nd to even give it a pity recommend.
and your right i haven't played a lot of these for more than a few hours because I don't waste my time playing bad video games.
>im an avid crpg player.
This doesn't make your subjective opinions anymore meaningful.
Making claims to authority about fricking video game opinions, tell that to your mum you stupid twat.
it does, seethe. josh sawyer is the god of producing mediocre 6/10 games, new vegas was abnormal in his career
IWD were always billed as the pure gameplay games for mechanics-oriented autists. They were never maligned in the way you're trying to present it, but I'm sure you're aware of that as an "avid crpg player".
alpha protocol was a great game all the way up until execution. unfortunately the execution sucked. worse than bloodlines even, but with almost as much potential.
>morons like to think there unique
Poetic.
>legendary
The only good games he ever worked on were MOTB and New Vegas. That's not a legend
Josh sometimes have crappy taste he visited diablo 4 devs and praised that piece of shit
>Chinese investment
I see the schizo is still trying to push that angle.
You know he's correct because you act desperately to shut him down each time
He (you) factually is not. Calling out someone's moronic posts wouldn't say otherwise.
He's not me
>HERE TO GENTLY REMIND YOU CHUDS THAT BG3 WAS MADE BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF WE CAN'T POSSIBLY REPLICATE SUCH STANDARDS OY BEY
He's super ass raped that Baldur's Gate 3 is slightly less mediocre than the slop he's been pushing.
Also he's been seething about Larian since forever. He made a whole panel talk about how Divinity Original Sin 2 raped his mother and took a shit on his chest. He didn't want to admit Pillars of Eternity 2 Gay Fish edition was simply shit in comparison.
To be honest, I'd be seething too if I was in Sawyer's position. He's talented enough to recognize mediocrity in CRPG writing, and Larianslop becoming a smash hit must really chafe his ass raw.
>overwritten loredump with no substance, no likeable characters and no reason to care about the story
>talented enough when it come to CRPG writing
lol
>be a mediocre writer
>recognize mediocrity in others but not yourself
Surely you haven't played PoE, have you?
I have, and it actually feels like a true CRPG, outside the shit tier kickstarter inserts.
>NOOOO DONT RAISE THE BAR PLS
homosexual really is defending pos dev teams like Bungie who made it a point to never overdeliver.
He thought Pillars of Eternity would be the big next new CRPG and it ended up being mediocre at best. He'll never recover
playing pillars felt like the writer was jerking off in front of me like "oh my god look how deep my prose is"
larian writing feels way less egotistical and is just simple and effective for getting you involved
He's worked on all of these games and his anus has been devastated since Larian suddenly became the greatest and most loved CRPG dev on the planet without him in the mid 2010s
to be fair, it's almost understandable
most of the people who "lurve bg3 omg" are secondary fans who don't play games, but watch them on twitch
we live in weird times
Award shows have always been a 2 hour long commercial...
he's right except it also applies to every other year's TGAs too
there's a big part of gaming (community, devs, outlets etc) that has an atavic inferiority complex and they keep trying to get some form of acknowledgment from the rest of the population
the movies industry, in the dire straits that it is atm, is probably the low hanging fruit
WRAP IT UP
>Half of Geoff's show is shilling Transbox
>Transbox devs and media turn on him after
there's no way that's real...
>it's real
LMAO
Sawyer never misses.
>5 minutes of Kojima and Peele sucking each other off
>Matthew McConaughey's speech in which he says nothing about the game he's in
>Will Smith from Wish shilling his tv show nobody seems to care
>Mr. r/aznidentity for some reason is there AGAIN
>Timothy Chalamet gives the world's least enthusiastic speech
"AND NOW SOME AWARDS OR SOMETHING IDK LETS MAKE IT QUICK WE HAVE MORE Black folk FOR YOU"
honestly it was embarassing, not to mention all games except maybe Rise of Ronin looked like shit
BUTTHURT AGAIN, JOSH???
>this guy broke the game industry, xboxs entire game publishing rules, and destroyed Ganker
>destroyed Ganker
yes the 30 threads at a time was annoying
For a chud like him, he made getting woke-gays to market your crap games. All it took was staying off twitter and letting your diversity hires do the talking.
>diversity hires
Should be an instant perma-ban for saying it. Proof the poster has a sub-80 IQ. The fricked up Supreme Court removed Affirmative Action while also removing quotas.
t. diversity hire
> The fricked up Supreme Court removed Affirmative Action while also removing quotas.
Ah yes, that Supreme Court of Belgium.
lol seeth little troony
you will NEVER be a woman
I want to see this degenerate get stabbed by a pack a feral Black folk so bad. The way things are going in Belgium, the chances that it will happen aren't even slim.
>The way things are going in Belgium
>Posts another NA moggin
Geez
How is he gonna get stabbed when he wears armor didn't think that one through huh?
>entire head / neck exposed
>all of his joints are also exposed
knives are one of the deadliest weapons in the world. The only defense against them is to be fully suited up head to toe in plate mail. Even chainmail won't do shit to protect you against the thrust of a sharp knife. Once he's on the ground its hard to get back up with all that weight on him, making him an easy target. It's why knights used to carry them alongside their main weapons.
>sword and board guy attacking without keeping the shield in front of himself
>he doesn't hold the center with his sword and shield, instead taking massive swings that leave entire flanks exposed
He honestly deserved that beating.

>back to pleddit with thee
oh ok I was right.
Josh Sawyer lives in California.
The chances of him being stabbed are 1000x more likely than Swen Vincke, who lives in 95% white Belgium. I am American and you are a delusional leftist.
>who lives in 95% white Belgium
Ghent is only 65% white though, and decreasing
Southern California is 20% white on a good day. Sawyer is 1000x more likely to get stabbed.
Frick no. First his car will get broken into, then a homeless man will attempt to stab him. And then when he gets home in the evening he'll get shot as he opens the front door. SoCal bruv.
how did americans get tricked into allowing mass immigration through an open border, while every single politician lives in a mono-ethnic community with big gates, and machine guns?
White guilt and marxism.

cope, troon
By all means vote for another troon enabling cheap labor importing backstabber.
no, he's not wrong
Reagan is burning in hell for giving 3 million illegals citizenship
what did reagan do? i'm only aware of LBJ 100% being involved in the CIA assassination of JFK, and then immediately opening the border up, going all in the Vietnam war through war bonds owned by his wife's company, and then kind of just being forgotten.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986
basically he gave 3 million people citizenship which turn out to be 20 million people in 20 decade. basically fricking over america. that is why im voting blue 24/7
>how did americans get tricked into allowing mass immigration through an open border
The vast majority of immigration policy in the US is determined by the blue parts on this map. Notice the problem here? People literal hundreds of miles away determined that millions of people should move into California and Florida.
That's why New York has been throwing such a shitfit in the news about receiving busloads of immigrants from Texas which amount to less than 1% of the plague they unleashed upon the southern states.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/new-york-governor-s-shocking-180-degree-turn-on-immigration-calls-for-stricter-border-controls-due-to-rising-homeless-migrant-crisis/ss-AA1ilh9C
it was wild when Biden was trying to find a legal way to make Texas keep all the illegals there instead of sending them to other states
Only natural, the longer they can keep it contained away from the blue states, the longer they would keep voting for immigration reform which help his party.
It's wild to me you need a license to drink in public but not to walk into a voting booth.
>texas: please bidensama, no more mexicans, our metros are disgusting shitholes

“Open borders are a Koch brothers proposal”
The left and right’s leadership both love minimally paid or even fully unpaid labor
I dont vote so chill with the grandstanding, I simply thought it was funny when texas and florida bussed all the mexicans up to new york. Also Im not convinced the monoparty is happy that Police simply dont patrol in Portland anymore, and may have bitten off more than they can chew
what are the logistics of texas and florida seceding, but still using the USD under threats of violence? everyone knows the us military won't and can't do shit to anyone on earth, so why not reap the benefits of using the us dollar, while following zero rules set by the clearly treasonous government?
>everyone knows the us military won't and can't do shit to anyone on earth

they've lost every single war in increasingly embarrassing ways, and the end result is literally no one joining anymore. there's a few slaves left for the meat grinder, but even they acknowledge they fricked up. a full scale invasion in america would be a quick, decisive loss, because who would fight for a government that hates its people?
Thirdie cope lmao, the actual fighting was done in days
Cooooope 🙂

More likely they'll open a foreign legion or operate purely using overseas mercenary groups. Only maintaining a skeleton crew for the fancy ships and planes that require actual soldiers to operate.

>seceding

>what are the logistics of texas and florida seceding
It'll never happen. California threatens this every election a Republican wins and the end result is just so: there's too much infrastructure reliant on surrounding states like highways and the power grid to ever consider not being part of the Union.
And California is an example of a state that may have a chance at ceding purely because they are big enough with enough industry to remain mostly independent. It's just literally every industry there would collapse overnight if they tried because it's reliant on the Federal Reserve and investment banking to stay soluble.
>And California is an example of a state that may have a chance at ceding purely because they are big enough with enough industry to remain mostly independent.
There's so much wrong with this talking point that it must have come from reddit.
Nah, it's true from a purely technical standpoint.
The political standpoint is where it breaks down.
If they had an actual, as in honest-to-god dictator or authoritarian take over their government and enforce a command economy, they could potentially do it. It's just California can't even find a governor who wouldn't cry like a pussy at Bambi, much less be an economic authoritarian.
>entertainment-based economy
>WE COULD TOTALLY SUCCEED LOL
enjoy trying to grow food in the desert, moron
california has great farmland, in all the conservative areas. commiefornia is ruined by the blue shithole cities.
idk if you've ever been to California but most of it isn't desert. Also Entertainment is 1.2% of their economy.
Silicon valley and its manufacturing sector is fricking gigantic.
good luck sourcing any fricking water or electricity. If not for the surrounding states keeping california aloft theyd all starve to death

You're a psyopped moron who bought into the "There's nothing we can do!" doomer pill.

No they don't. There are no sides. You are a slave. Buck broken, raped, robbed, humiliated, shat on, pissed on, cummed on. And you will do nothing. You will VOOOOTE for a israelite with a red tie instead of the one with the blue tie. And you will suck his wiener while he sucks corporate nepo wieners. And you will shill him here. And you will love it. And you will die in a sand from an IED.

Okay, well anyone with an IQ in the triple digits already knows you're moronic. The "I'm too intelligent and redpilled to vote" crowd create their own problems by selecting themselves out of the voterbase.

what are the point of posts like this? Yeah sure, we know left and right work together when it means their money, but what do posts like this accomplish other than telling people not to get involved because being a misanthrope on the internet is easier?
I'm just telling you to take your preferred israelite puppet shilling material and take it elsewhere. You are a slave race and you will die in a ditch. Either kill them or just frick off.
>f-fricking glowie! y-yeah I WON'T do shit! now what?!
I know. Cuckold. I told you that you won't actually do it. Because you are a slave race. Buck broken and raped into extinction. I'm not saying this to insult you. I'm just stating facts. You won't do shit. You will go quietly into the dirt. And you WILL vote for more puppets.
go drink your vodka
aight, tell ya what. send me 10000 dollars and I MIGHT spend it on firearms instead of video games
Damn Glowie being paid overtime, is it that time of the year to recruit for another FBI shooting?
Voting may be pointless at the ultra-israelited federal level. But the only vote that really affects you and the actual, real reason to vote is the state because you live there. Some of the state elections, like Arizona, last election were swung by ~200 votes. That's less than the number of people reading Ganker right now.
And this has a domino effect: The only reason israelite York and the other ultra-billionaire corpos and their governor puppets changed their tune on Immigration is purely because at a different, less israelited layer of government: Some extremely based man won an election in Texas and used a federal loophole to bus immigrants he could not deport up north for settlement. Which immediately resulted in them changing their tune and backtracking on the last 20 years of open borders.
I know you just want to scream in the hopes some loner reading your doomposts gets a little further demoralized, but not voting is the most moronic thing you can do if you care even a little. It's literally just making a short drive, long walk, or just calling for a mail-in ahead of time.
>voting at the state level
maybe in the cool states. I live in Oregon where the state supreme court is the only thing protecting my ability to own a gun and spesk freely.
For that, the best you can do is campaign in attempts to swing even a little. It's like pushing over a vending machine: You don't push it over in one try, you gradually rock it back and forth until there's enough momentum to tip it, and you won't tip it even on the fifth or tenth try.
A big problem with it is that there's a lot of rich c**ts who seemingly have nothing better to do except frick over the plebs. In Europe we have a problem because there's shadowy NGOs led by no-name oligarchs who for some reason are just friends with everyone from the Pope to the President of France buying up ships to transport people across the Mediterranean into Europe.
>NGOs led by no-name oligarchs
they're israeli, and their names are in the open now, because just like bond villains, they're letting you know they won.
I don't see you suggesting an alternative to this besides "THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO FRICKING GOLEM LAY DOWN AND SUCK YOUR MASTER'S TOES" like a fricking cuck. There's literally been only one party opposing mass immigration, and their opposition of it has been nearly universal. It's only libcucks who have made a 180 on it in recent times because they suddenly realized they'll have to live with the stinky hispanics they let in.
>I don't see you suggesting an alternative to this
The alternative is bloody revolution. To kill quite literally fricking everybody at the top. All of your elites are corrupt, mentally ill babyfricking morons. And your system is tailored so you can only vote for them.
But you will not do this. Because you are a slave. Mind broken and put in a cuck cage. In a cuck shed. While your country is getting raped. You're a b***h. And you won't do shit while you're getting replaced and bought out like a common prostitute. You WILL get fricked in the throat. And you will like it.
Now got and VOOOTE some more. Just stop shilling your preferred puppets on a video game board.
By all means VOOOTE.
Nah we don't live in Russia.

I feel this dude died from tripping on the bench, and slamming his head on the railing that prevents homeless people from sleeping on the bench. From the video I think that did 100x more damage the getting stabbed once.

Great.
Not necessary, we can tell you’re a giant homosexual already.

But instead, he's now a based armor RPG man.

are we pretending that shit was ever anything but a glorified advertisement? Does he know why Geoff is called the dorito pope?
Yup, ever since the first one people complained about the rapid-fire award giving into 5 minute ad.
Geoff got paid, Geoff don't care.
The show was a giant ad because video games aren’t art, they’re toys, and people only watched because they want to see which shiny new toys are coming out next
Yes, and? Toys > pretentious shit

It's because he focuses so hard on the genre. But the characters he writes are so unlikable. He doesn't know how to fix this so he's taking out his anger on social media
sawyer is that GM who tells everyone how to play their character and how to RP. allowing this guy to make any non-systems/mechanics decisions on any game is commercial suicide.
holy frickin narcissist baby rage
that's pathetic
Sawer has lost what little respect I still had for him.
I love seeing Josh ge mad. He's so full of himself. It's delightful. Wittle baby can't handle rejection.
He's right though, no one wants to watch the rock shill his moronic energy drink for 5 minutes and then get a bunch of awards out of the way in 2 seconds
If I wanted to make a good game and delegate it, I wouldn't hire either one of them.
>Make it gay!
>Make it obscenely verbose and boring!
If every award was presented on stage and every developer got as long as they wanted to thank everyone, the event would be like 8 hours long. I will agree though they deserved longer than 30 seconds.
I only saw the Herald if Darkness bit so I don't know what he's talking about.

>On July 19, 2005, GameSpot reported that he had left Midway's Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, and was accepting a position at Obsidian Entertainment, a studio founded and staffed by many veterans of Black Isle. His first role was as the lead designer for Neverwinter Nights 2.[11]
thats it?
thats fricking it?
this TGA was embarrassing for different reasons. It had zero even remotely interesting announcements
He's right that the celebrities are gay. If they actually had someone who was in a game this year I'd get it, right now it's a desperate and sad attempt to be like Hollywood.
>"There are too many celebrities at this joke of an event."
>LMAOOOOOOOOO SEETHE AT BALDUR'S GAWD 3, TRANNIES!!!! HE LOST, WE WON HAHAHAHAHAH HE'S SO MAD AT BG3!!!!!!!!
Every thread I see BG3gays invade turns into console wars by a another name.
I wonder if there is some sort of correlation there.
Hey now. Josh is right but he still deserves to be humbled a bit. He spent the last 10 years smugly shitting on everything that made BG3 a success gameplay-wise.
BG3's relation to that tweet is tangential at best, they were at the event Josh is criticizing. That's it.
Jumping to "WELL HE MUST BE SEEEEEEEEEETHING ABOUT [my side], WE WON [my side]SISTERS!!!!" is literally the Sony/Microsoft shitflinger mentality.
Larian isn't my side, but Josh is sitll seething. He has been seething since the first Original Sin was an rpg darling and his perfectly balanced strength wizard simulator PoE was ridiculed by his peers.
>Every thread I see BG3gays invade
It's not even about BG3, it's just /vpol/ hating Sawyer for being a basedfornia b***h. The same people are posting in BG3 threads about how pozzed and degenerate it is spamming lolbearsex
>Come on Josh, say your line!
>passive agressive b***hes about BG3 success
Well yeah, thats what happens when corporate husk like geoff host these things.
If you really want something for devs, then the devs should make a show of their own
just another miserable frick looking to shit on someones parade, yeah we couldn't fit the 500 person dev team for these games on stage, dumb homosexual, doesn't make them any less "celebrated", they're still proud their games won awards, and its insulting to the general audience to imply they only see celebrity when most gamers are intelligent enough to know games aren't made by 1 person
He's right, and it's going to stay that way so long as it stays centralized around Geoff himself. It needs to stop being the Geoff show because as long as it is, it's just going to be him using it as an opportunity to ingratiate himself to Kojima and his celebrity overlords. The way they pull in actors who obviously don't give a shit is pathetic every year, but this year where they gave so much time to fricking Anthony Mackie and Simu Liu while hurrying the game of the year winners off stage is just ridiculous. I don't even care about the awards part of the show anyway, but spending 10 minutes stroking Kojima's and Peele's egos in the same show that can't even give the people actually making the games that the whole show is based on 2 minutes to accept the award is absurd.
its ok to be obscure josh
It will only become worse without him
The fact that it's the "Geoff show" is the only hopeful aspect. Without him it would just be full on soulless. Actually a lifeless husk. It feels like he wants it to be a legitimate awards show but he just can't. Too much mainstream appeal, too advertiser friendly, too desperate to shove in celebrities who don't care about vidya. Geoff wanted the biggest vidya awards show, and he got it. But I doubt this is what he envisioned. It's sunk too deep and he can't pull it out.
i cannot even imagine why you think he's being corrupted by some unseen forces. he's always been the definition of a self-promoter
>legitimate awards
What an oxymoron, this thing is there to show off games that sold well and thats it.
I used to think that, but it's become increasingly obvious each year how obsessed with Hollywood and Kojima he is, and that's been the worst thing about it. As long as it's "The Geoff Show" it's going to be a show about Geoff desperately trying to appear as legitimate as movies by paying actors to come on and say their kids think games are cool, advertising and awarding movies in "The Game Awards", and dedicating a time slot to stroking Kojima's already massive ego. Someone else needs some creative control over the show if it's ever going to be about anything other than Geoff jerking off every C-lister and up in Hollywood.
Anon, there is only one consistent factor here.
There's one man who's been at the center of the commercialization and hollywoodification of the medium for decades now. Pushing himself constantly to degrade the genre more and more.
Geoff Keighley is not some innocent kind-hearted gaming fan who's just struggling to stay afloat in a medium full of external forces.
I think he wanted videogames to be taken seriously, which is a noble goal, but they're being taken seriously by just turning into hollywood.
Because of him.
He has been the primary pusher of this poisonous fricking slimey homosexual paradigm of games as movies. The Game Awards ideologically constructed from the ground up to push games as a movies. They constantly use Hollywood actors wherever they can. The big setpiece reveal was Kojima showcasing fricking raw, unedited mocap which is just embarassing. They have like half an hour of actors presenting the award for best performance but do not even have an award related to gameplay in any way.
yes, i know, it's embarrassing, but that's what Hollywood and big budget movies mostly boil down to, celebrity wanking. people love their breathtaking celebs and it sells.
>people love their breathtaking celebs and it sells.
all breathtaking celebs are in erotic modeling/porn. Perhaps, even, OF. Dunno, never went there. Not braindead pg movie number over9000 this month. Or videogame. There are almost none very good to really breathtaking celebs, who never did moronic surgeries in diabolical quantities.
Granted, there are SOME, very, very few, truly all around good (enough) looking people, who are celebs. One of the examples is like Geri Halliwell. But what a surprise, she also was a glamour nude model back in the day. She is attractive and needs no fricking award for being born with good genes and taking care of herself.
TL;DR: Less and less people give a shit about so called celebs and it's a good thing. People are getting sober.
>Less and less people give a shit about so called celebs and it's a good thing.
the game awards prove otherwise, it's increasingly focused on dumb hollywood celebrity cameos and the gay voice actors talking about their characters. it's because people want this shit and not because geoff willed it so.
True in itself, but is it reflective of the entrie gaming community? Ofc mainstream gaming went pleb tier and was ruined by the stuff you're talking about. Look at Ganker, I mean, how many erotic game threads, who feature no celebs do we here every 24 hours? And also just indie in general.
My point is that most Californian movie stars went from what burgers call the AAA tier down to like B or C. Perhaps it is just me and a few more people like me, but people don't watch nearly as many movies and as much tv anymore, I think. I wouldn't know 90% of the people currently in the Hollywood if I saw them on the street. People I would know are still all from 80's, 90's and some obviously from 00's. Like the Cybeprunk 2077 (not shite DLC) example and Keanu. I know Keanu because he was in Matrix and other movies in the (late) 90's. If he were to first emerge in the recent years/decade(s), I wouldn't have a clue who he is and why. You see it, in genuine form, on Ganker all the time too.
>so and so from this and that
who?
On the other hand, plenty of people from the internet became "celebs" and in 2023 they overshadow the entire hollywood. Kids and teens probably have no fricking idea who Harrison Ford is, but they sure know about Ninja and top tier OF models. and such. Plus the stats say that the average gamer is like what? 30 years old? kek.
TL;DR: Hollywood celebs is mostly for boomers, not just smoothbrain drooling coonsooomers, I guess, is what I'm saying. So I think, this practice will die out sooner than we imagine.
How are there STILL people that give this clown the benefit of the doubt? He's the driving force that makes this award soulless, because he himself has been a soulless ghoul since day 1.
And yet who would listen to the maker of the dullest RPG of all time? Each attempt Obsidian makes to create their own universe rather than simply deconstruct a setting made by others, has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the outdated gameplay and lifeless cities, Pillars of Eternity's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of combat mechanics, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original; he made sure the game would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable nostalgia pandering to ageing Baldur's Gate fans. Pillars of Eternity might be anti-casual(or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Divinity series in its refusal of spontaneity, fun and excitement.
>a-at least the writing was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time I engaged in dialogue with an NPC the game presented me with a Wiki-page style infodump instead of anything resembling actual human conversation.
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sawyer's mind is so governed by obsession with pointless minutiae of the lore that he has no other style of writing.
Later I read a lavish, loving review of Pillars of Eternity by the same David Gaider. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kiddies are playing Obsidian games at 17 or 18, then when they get older they will go on to enjoy Dragon Age II." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
truly excellent post. you barely had to change it and it's all true.
why the frick was that dune kid giving the award for best game of the year? what the frick is this trash? that should tell you how irrelevant the game awards are
dorito pope always gets some big(ish) name celeb to give award, and it's always accompanied by cringe, soulless corporate speech or "wow games these days sure look great" bit
>why the frick was that dune kid giving the award for best game of the year?
ironically he's an actual gamer for once, he even had a youtube channel about modding xbox controllers lmao but yeah the only reason he's there is ebcause he's an hollywood celeb
15 minutes of Hideo Kojima life screen circejerking with Geoff having the time of his life. Hollywood up in there pretending to be relevant. I hate Geoff and Hideo.
He's actually right about something for once. Why does a GAME awards show invite MOVIE stars?
since back in 2002 when vice city had multiple famous actors
now mr josh, are you gonna pay for your child porn or...????
Publisher's don't want you talking about developers. EA, Ubisoft, Activision, and a ton of other western publishers do their best to make sure dev studios are obscured on the box and ads.
Because if the casual audience knows who made and directed their favorite video games, then those developers would become harder and harder to replace.
Activision fricking over Zampella and West on their royalties for Call of Duty should have been as big as when Christopher Nolan got screwed over by WB. But there wasn't a peep from even the gaming media, which is exactly how Activision likes it.
If there was an award show that celebrated developers, every publisher would boycott it.

>it's real
My god, will he ever stop seething about Larian Studios?
Is this the gay dude with a daily game dev vlog or the one that seethes at Larian?
The first one is Tim Caine. And the "seething at Larian" thing is something people just made up. I've yet to actually see a single instance of him being disrespectful towards Larian. It's a farce.
>Tim Caine
homosexual pedophile who hasn't been relevant since the 90s?

Kek you can never be woke enough huh? This is why leftoids cannibalize each other it's just the ever self serving side until you're no longer useful for the group and then you're done.
He's absolutely correct, but I suspect underneath that post it's just his usual frustration with Larian's success and his own failure.
What is with the spergs claiming he's mad about BG3? He's actually defending Swen and other devs in the OP.
only time ive ever agreed with him lol
i just found out kojima is making a game with jordan peele and the stranger things girl is going to be in it, two hacks working on a movie game, cringe
Chalamet giving the award for best game should tell you how much of a joke this is. At least get people from the industry to give the most important award in your shitty show for fricks sake.
Josh? Josh Sawyer? Is that you?
Josh, I can't and won't make this any simpler for you.
You failed at CRPGs. You failed. When one thinks of what a game is capable of, pushing players to the limits physically, mentally and emotionally to feel sensations and emotions never before mentioned, your game will not be whispered in the same, reverent fashion that others have.
Nobody will remember Josh Sawyer. You aren't even a header or a footer in the career of someone else. You are nobody. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
In short, your games are an enormous failure.
Josh, being that you're a "seasoned" game developer, and your brain has probably hard-wired itself to accept such failures by now and write off such criticism by being "flippant", really suggests that you've passed beyond the proverbial breaking-point. There's no turning back. This is your career, this is what defines you and this is what you'll defend to the end.
The abhorrent failure that is Pillars 1&2, Josh Sawyer, that is your legacy.
Maybe I'm over-reaching, however. Who knows? People CAN change. Maybe you'll read this, Josh, and think long and hard about what a wasteful life you've led. Maybe you'll think, "wow. It's incredible just how poor of a game Pillars really was!" Maybe you'll lift some weights in the morning. Maybe you'll think long and hard about what makes a good game before you dev your next one, if at all.
Maybe in a couple of years, Josh, you'll have learned from this failure. I doubt it, though.
I genuinely doubt it.
Now excuse me, I have to check the current and peak player count for Baldur's Gate III. Steam database projects we'll be over 1 million simultaneous players soon.
Why are you using a BOTW pic when BOTW won GOTY?

How are you people this consistently fricking moronic?
>so bad at reading people he think hes going to outright say what is upsetting him instead of complaining about the whole event instead which is much safer
With that logic you could say anyone talking about anything is actually about this other thing that wasn't "outright said"
>I am le smart
no
>i am le dumb
yes you are
Why are you quoting yourself?
you're thinking about trannies, aren't you ? you're not saying it, but i know you are, little chud.
Then he would have chosen something else to complain about, and not literally Sven not being given enough time to talk. This is the last thing he would complain about if he was upset about BG3 winning. Especially compared to... what other contenders this year?
he is correct
Crymore, Baseder
Those quotes regarding BG3 were so weirdly interpreted by people. It's just some simple paranoia from devs, thinking that this massive game will make players view their smaller scale games with contempt or something, when they just can't match that scope because they don't have the same budget or manpower. These quotes are directed at players, it's a plea for understanding really.
It's a misplaced fear, but overall innocuous. But people interpreted it as some kind of aggression towards BG3? It's so moronic. Why do you pretend it's something that it isn't? You know what it actually is, but you're choosing to pretend it's outrage bait. Why?
Oh no! devs aren't putting out unfinished larianslop!
yeah I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and pretend he didn't sound like a salty gay with those comments he made but
this proves that he's just mindbroken and can't understand how some other game sold while his boring as shit one didn't. BG3 isn't perfect, frick the writing is atrocious. but it's definitely not boring. well except for the combat.
The writing is standard YA level shit especially for the dialogue. Though iirc BG2 was not much better and was rather unwieldily at points though I'd argue that probably has just as much to do with the quality of the writing as the limitations of the engine. Voice acting, visuals, and animation do a lot to BG3s service and is probably the reason it's writing is not catching nearly as much flak.
The writing isn't catching as much flak is because standards are at an all-time low, especially in modern day gaming.
>It's just some simple paranoia from devs, thinking that this massive game will make players view their smaller scale games with contempt or something,
this would hold more weight if it was actually smaller scale devs saying it
Suck a dick Josh. You sold your ass, like a prostitute, to Pajeetsoft. The biggest israelites ever. You have more shekels than Larian yet you shat out Outer Worlds and AVOWED which looks like dogshit.
Elden Ring is unfinished game that has unfairly bad boss fight design, but no one has balls to speak it up
Baldur Gate 3 is unfinished game that has unfairly bad companion design, but no one has balls to speak it up
They are really the same.
Wrong.
Wrong.
>They are really the same.
moron
Sawyer and Swen both went through:
>Make games both independently and publisher backing for games
>Bust your ass for decades only to be known as a literal who, finally get cult status with game forums and sites
>Get critically acclaimed successes
But then…
>Sawyer: Finally get position as game director, botch it so badly it becomes the worst selling game in your company’s history
>Swen: Make a runaway critical and commercial success and keeps being the head of the studio
Pretty simple why he’s so butthurt
Swen actually got much worse. Sawyer started his carrer at Black Isle even tough it was after their golden age but it allowed him to connect from the start with industry legends, Swen is a game dev from a country full of sheep frickers and inbreds
>Swen is a game dev from a country full of sheep frickers and inbreds
didn't know he was Welsh
swen copied ultima 7 and added horny companions. sawyer tried to imitate infinity engine to middling results.
>All the posts in this thread trying to paint this as him being upset BG3 won
He's assmad at the Game Awards, certainly, since apparently they announced last year's nominees before Pentiment even released, but he's clearly arguing that Swen should've had more than a millisecond to give his acceptance speech.
People are just poking a fun at him. Sawyer being mad at Swen is a running joke on Ganker.
There’s never been any legitimacy to the Game Awards (tm). It’s just Geoff Keighley planting his flag and saying “see, this is the totally OFFICIAL industry awards show that determines what the REAL GOTY is. Starring Geoff Keighley (me). Now pay me advertising money.”
Being organized by that dude from that shitty early 2000s cable channel does not provide legitimacy.
t. Have never watched a single Game Awards and never will
Not if tencent has anything to say about it
I don't care much what he has to say one way or the other but when he said that sex scenes in videogames were cringe he was absolutely right.
Oh, so he's upset about AnalShit2 winning anything at all? I can respect that. That forgetable shit can't be anything goty. Pretty much like PoE2:Deadbore.
The homosexual celebrity talked about his broken foot longer than the BG3 devs got to talk about winning GOTY
Why do people say that Sawyer is "seething" over BG3? He made a post saying "don't expect things like BG3 to ever be repeated again in this industry" which is literally true? It's a sequel to (although popular at the time) a niche game franchise in a niche genre of games with a HUGE budget, fully voice acted, autistic levels of detail in terms of character interaction, tons of content etc. It's literally the "idea man" game that should not exist in a modern industry plagued by triple big budget games existing solely to fleece money from people via microtransactions, DLC etc.
Is it because everyone here is autistic and doesn't know how to interpret words on the screen? He's very clearly not seething?
he is absolutely seething and he tried to hide it as a backhanded compliment.
also, just in case you didn't know, you have autism.
>because he just is ok?
>he is absolutely seething
How can you actually think this, he's seething at the game industry being shit because of how fricking ad-focused the game awards was, which is objectively true? You people are so bad at reading emotions.
>I know nothing about the history of CRPGs
Sawyer is 100% jealous and his conferences have always shown this
The thing is the guy posts a valid criticism of the game awards thats been said for years and the counterarguement is just to make it personal rather than address anything he said, instead to say he is saying it because 'hes mad' about something else. That alone shows hes right considering what the counterarguement looks like.
oh it's a valid criticism. that doesn't make him not seething though.
Then stop posting eceleb gossip like a coven of highschool girls if you dont actually disagree.
NO, GAME DEV ANGRY
Sawyer has been seething about the DOS games for years. It's no secret that he wanted the sales and recognition that Larian received. What makes it especially personal for him is that Larian was so successful by doing the things he hated (turn-based combat, silly tone, voice acting, environmental interactions).
Has he considered making a better game
No, he'd rather make games with gay fish that are taken seriously.
he considered it.
Explain how
is him seething about DOS. It's literally just him saying "I hope Pillars of Eternity can take off like Divinity did" which, while objectively delusional, is not him """""""seething""""""" by any means. If people were just making fun of Sawyer for objectively getting mogged by Larian's success that's fair, but to think he's "mad" about BG3 being successful like some of the TOTK/spiderman posters on here is genuinely insane.
alright josh, its time to put the phone down
He blamed DOS for having to add voiceacting to Deadfire. Tell me you've never browsed /vrpg/ before because this shit is a dead horse over there and well established
>blamed
He said DOS had voice acting and was received well, so he added voice acting as a result.
How is that blaming?
Posts like these genuinely have me convinced that anyone that keeps pushing this shit meme of purposefully pretending this guy has any sort of ire towards Larian are just underaged people that probably haven't actually played more than like, 5 hours of BG3 and just want to participate in threads.
>He said DOS had voice acting and was received well, so he added voice acting as a result.
Correct, DOS was the cause of him adding something he didn't want to. He said DOS was the cause. That means he assigned blame to DOS. You have 0 reading comprehension.
Explain how this is him being angry.
its just straight wrong. hes saying that bg3 is abnormal because larain self funds their own games after 2 decades of barely staying afloat and taking funding from big sutidos is actually uhhh le harder somehow.
homie your studio is own by microsoft, one of the biggest corporations on the planet with infinite funding and time looking at how long its taking for avowed to be made. you just suck
>Why do people say that Sawyer is "seething" over BG3?
Because BG3 fans are incredible degenerates. They even become feral when you put a dick on a woman's body.
I mean he's right but he's also incredibly butt hurt about baldur gay trio
i really don't care when the devs themselves don't respect the medium and try so desperately to imitate another
The majority of AAA games are garbage that try to be less games and more movies, so don't go cry about movie stars or whatever.
Yeah, it was in the back of my mind "How many devs were looking forward to going only to find out they got laid off?"
>tweet has an ending to it
Well that's obviously not really Josh Sawyer.
>Sawyer still mad @ BG3
lmfao
He's a commie homosexual, but he's not wrong.
Josh posts on this board regularly by the way. He's probably itt already.
what does that even mean
As much as I hate his K-word ass, he made FNV. He has nothing to be jealous of... except white people, lol
Reminder.
see
sawyer is a whiny annoying moron most of the time but he's right in the OP
/thread
A broken clock is still right twice a day, etc, etc...
I mean, for a show about awarding the years best games, only about an hour or less amount of time was actual awards and the rest was advertisements and mobile game bullshit.
The rushing of the winners off stage so they next shill advertisement could be played was pretty jarring.
Cope
Do morons like him don't understand that most devs or shy nerds that would rather have no camera on them?
Why do these ritualposters keep bringing up the "Gay fish" part specifically from Pillars of Eternity 2? I mean I know why, it's probably the only screenshot they've actually seen of the game, but it's more jarring to me because Baldurs Gate 3 objectively has more LGBT content by far (literal fricking on-screen sex scenes) but it's okay because(????????)
The Kojima stuff has gone beyond parody at this point. I used to joke that Geoff blows Kojima backstage, but at this point I'd actually be surprised if that DIDN'T happen at each show.
Geoff is a paid shill and Kojimbo is a salesman. They’ve got a symbiotic thang going on for some time but now Geoff is desperate for da juice and Kojimbo is desperate to promote his shitty new game so it all looks more pathetic suddenly.
I genuinely don't understand how Kojima is having all these celebrities flock to him. I think they just see him as this esoteric foreign artisan because their PA told them he was, so they're just saying frick it and rubbing shoulders with him.
there's much more money in video games than in hollywood these days
parasitising yourself to a few franchises is a forward thinking move, even if you hold disdain for the medium, as many of them seem to
mobile gaming is doing those fricking numbers? I legitimately thought mobile gaming died, fricking angry birds was a thing and flappy bird but since then nothing
are people really playing games on their phones?
a large chunk of this board is gacha at any given moment
check out /vg/ to see how deep the cancer goes
Come on, man. What kind of question is that?
its gacha shit in the third world, but even than idk at work i see people on there phones playing generic anime gacha shit and surely some of them really are spending money.
>I legitimately thought mobile gaming died
What fricking cave did you crawl out of?
Anon it's bigger than ever before. Apple Arcade is even the best curated storefront there is right now. If they cared more about making bigger deals they would have led the market years ago.
>apple arcade
has nothing to do with those numbers, moron. People are blowing fricking BILLS on those mihoyo chinkshit games.
>I didn't look up how much Apple makes with Arcade
ok
>apple made 20 billion across all its services
>we headcanon that apple arcade made 1 billion
even if the headcanon is real, where is the other 90 billion numbnuts, to chinkshit gacha. Dont act like apples iphone video game store is some kind of industry leader when its being dwarfed by fricking buttshaking gun sim
I will spend my life savings on sexy anime girl pngs if you develop a thin vaneer of a game around aquiring them
The video game industry having a MASSIVE inferiority complex with regards to Hollywood is not exactly shocking news.
>when are we getting the Citizen Kane of video games????
>BG3 getting the GOTY award gets less time and attention than Kojima showing up and getting jacked off live on stage
>HAHAHA BG3 WON JOSH BTFO
can't expect bots to make sense
>geoff butt buddy gets an absurd amount of time
uh yeah? were you not paying attention to the last 5 game awards when Kojima gets whole sections dedicated to himself with geoff smiling as wide as he can the entire time
>This year's
Fricking newbies.
Last year was 80% black guy acceptance speech, you telling me a guy like sawyer was upset with that?
I beat Pillars of Eternity and I could not name a single character from it. I think having the cutscenes where the camera comes down close and you see the faces of the characters talking did a lot for BG3; it's way better than two portraits talking at each other.
Even on Pathfinder there are memorable characters and one or two waifu thread pops up on Ganker once in a while, PoE is just bad and BG3 have genuinely good characters in a mediocre story
He's right. I have always rigorously defended hideo kojima because I played MG when it came out and have always been a fan. But seeing him walk out on stage with Lebrons and a huge iced out kojima productions medallion made me feel sick. By the end of the night sam lake is dancing around in some kind of lame showbiz production? I get exactly what they're trying to do, increase social media visibility. And I don't like seeing this it sucks
why is he saying this now? what prompted this response?
The Game Awards' presentation gets worse and worse every year and every year they have to ram more rapidfire award reveals that get 10 seconds of announcement instead of something like the oscars where even the more mundane technical stuff gets a few minutes to themselves, because they have to stick more and more dumb publicity stunts into it.
Might as well give up on the whole awards bit and any pretense of taking this seriously and just make this Winter Gamesfest instead
Man was Sawyer this b***hmade before? What gigantic thin skinned homosexual, shut up and do your job.
He was a b***h as far back as 2006. Also a late gen x emo kid
Is this Josh ''Trans Rights Are Humans Rights'' Sawyer? THE Josh Sawyer?
This is putting the unbridled seething into better context.
josh sawyer is literally a zoomer with grey hair
>sven who doesn't give a shit about idendity politics is also mogging him when it comes to lefty praising his game for diversity on top of everything else
all this virtue signaling for nothing...
He's right though
Geoff just wants his company to be the one controlling the big reveal stuff now that the ESA can't get their shit together to run E3. The award show part is irrelevant. That's also why he's randomly inserted himself into Gamescom too.
Ah yes, Josh Sawyer, the guy that said having games be fully voiced was a waste of time.
He said that? Hes right
He's not wrong in that.
He mad.
even normies are now tired of seeing kojima for 10 minutes compared to everyone else
People seething about the award side of this awards show are correct, but also people forget that nobody is watching for the awards. People are watching because this is the new e3.
I can tell you, the reason I watched is not to find out who won the GOTY. I watched hoping to see some cool new games (there were none)
That may be the case, but nobody's watching to see mediocre actors and Kojima get their wieners sucked either. I can forgive not much time being spent on the awards to show actual games, even if there are still some issues with that, but having such a small amount of time spent on the awards while also spending so much time on celebrities is ridiculous.
>give winners 30 seconds to talk
>give Kojima 10 minutes to talk about a “game” that’s 10 years until release and has zero anything to show
Let la creatividad cook.
Anthony Mack was coked out of his mind
I think being called a void of charisma one too many times broke him. So he tried to be discount Will Smith and looked as pathetic and clownish as it sounds. Everybody already knows he's a grumpy, humorless, self serious guy irl so he might as well just own it in my opinion.
whiny fricking homosexual. if hes so great why does nobody give a frick about him while absolute hacks like todd, kojima or that larian pedophile get fellated 7 days a week on here.
oh, because hes a washed up has been and barely even that. keep coping josh gayyer
i wish crpgs weren't so boring in the gameplay. it takes away from the story massively
I'm not going to like, I kind of agree. Games like Planescape and Disco Elysium are among my favorites, but they're more akin to visual novels than actual games.
>Planescape and Disco Elysium
Those were purposefully designed to some extent to be more reading than fighting. I like turn-based combat, what I don't like is the tabletop rule frickery and having to study guides before making a character
i've wanted to play this for so long but holy frick is the gameplay bad
It's also on my list but I have so many ''classics'' already on my backlog, somes I even consider just watching a narrative recap on youtube and be done with it. CRPGS are really a genre where you are either hooked from start or waste 30 hours trying to ''get into it ''
I feel the same way about Arcanum.
Disco Elysium is great because it doesn't bother with boring ass tactical RPG shit where you have to shuffle dudes across a grid just to punch out some goblins or something. There's only a few things that can actually be considered "combat" and they're resolved fairly quickly and in different ways.
>The game is great because its devoid of gameplay and its just a glorified western visual novel
ok?
3 > nv
>this year
lol
its always been a corporate shillshow made by non-gamers for advertisers
fricking slopaward
Josh Sawyer demands ethics in games journalism
Oh, the game awards happened.
Was there any e3 tier cringekino or just boring shitty LA circlejerk homosexualry?
I agree.
Speaking of star power, frick Neil Druckmann--err, I mean, Neil Cuckmann.
>thinking mainstream audience cares about a dev's life story instead of seeing people they know
>ignoring that this show costs a frickton and has to be funded somehow
sooooooo you didnt like Gonzo?
How much money does Kojima put up to get that massive of a plug every year?
It has to be at least 20%, it's fricking absurd how every single show has a 10-minute segment dedicated to Kojima alone, who hasn't produced anything of value since the PS2 days
0. Geoff loves Kojima
None, knowing he's done a service to his God is all Geoff needs as a reward.
He's 100% right but also totally butthurt about BG3
Out of shill money already?
>Kratos VA goes on stage
>HAHA OKAY I WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME
>still takes up a lot of time saying fricking nothing
Don't get me started on Kojima and Peele.
I don't care, I liked it
can't believe people are finally starting to noticing this. congrats.
>Made wokeass game with no substance and is forgotten in weeks
>Lariat makes a game pandering to everyone's fetishes and a great mechanical game to boot
>Wins goty
Yeah he's a mad b***h.
pillars would have been better if
1. turn based
2. every inconsequential character didnt exposition a book of meaningless jargon that goes nowhere and means nothing
3. wasnt so grim and dreary
4. had some semblance of balancr
5. was a better game
Pretty much
The only thing of actual value on the show is the orchestra medley at the end
RTwP lost btw.
https://twitter.com/AceStarThe3rd/status/1733156176785793132?t=OIr3lOzYxQ9fL7sGf2TsEA thanks homie
gonzo tongues in my anus
No one gives a frick about the people actually coding the game and they never will. Frick code monkeys.
Wasting my time with this show just made me unironically miss E3... Maybe it wasn't so bad
E3 was neat because on its face it was just video game ads, so you knew what you were getting into. The Game Awards wants to pretend its some prestigious awards show but its just video game ads with more wienersucking, not to say the oscars and the grammies are the exact same but those are about 10-15 years from extinction so its not exactly a good base to model off of
The Grammies and Oscars can also claim that the atendees are the products themselves. You don't need an ad for Taylor's next album because she is there signing and you don't need an trailer for Del Toro's next movie because he is there giving a 10 minute speech. The nature of the music industry and film industry makes them value individuals and autorship, sure it was not always like that, but only Kojima and a few others are the exception. The regular person who claims New Vegas is their favorite game doesn't know who the frick sawyer or avellone are and that's partially due to gaming being a low brow and low effort hobby
Dont care frick entitled devs im also pirating your games too homosexuals.
kojima looks to be repulsed by geoff
Wouldn't surprise me. He's always treated those in the video game industry like field hands. Look how fast he abandoned Joost.
Kojima its a sociopath that treat people like toy people if it was by him he would have repalced david hater after mgs1
that guy's a homosexual but awards shows are pretty gay so he's right about that
>Having to be told that money is corrupting your beloved hobby
Are you one of those 50% of the population that doesn't have an 'inner voice?'
If anything, video game award shows are entertaining akin to watching a car accident.
Watching a car accident cam be interesting if you re heartless for games awards you must be lobotomized
Not wrong
All the time is devoted to shitty actors and the actual devs get like 10n
seconds to talk about their game award at the GAME AWARDS (which they crammed like 6 awards into the last 4 minutes)
>jeff didn't mention layoffs in the worst year for diversity hires and LGBT hacks
>ESG is literally imploding
no wonder woke left and troonyies are buttmad at him
dont get too excited, most core development teams are still homosexual sanfran yuppy libs. You can get rid of the 4th generation chinese american troony but you wont get rid of whitey mcguiltsalot who is probably MORE adamant about the protagonist being a Black person. I hate to sell out my own race but leftwing whites are worse than normal asians/mexicans/blacks
>whitey mcguiltsalot who is probably MORE adamant about the protagonist being a Black person
not american but for me the worst thing about all this is that it's just a pose and despicable form of cynicism. deep down these buttholes actually hate blacks as much as any other group that doesn't cater to their homosexual sensibilities.
oh absolutely, I live in a pretty liberal area and people I know generally consider me racist, but whenever theres a new black/mexican/asian hired at work, I hit it off with them while the gays never click, because they want a pet black to absolve their white guilt.
It’s always funny when he gets pissed saying that BG3 has unprecedented funding, while Pillars 1 hit an all time record for funding on Kickstarter and came out as the most mediocre CRPG in years
100% correct.
Why is he getting mad at E3
Did they ignore trans rights or something
Stick to making autistic difficulty mods, Josh.
>This year
The only thing the game awards have been good for is to force company to release a few new trailers in december, and you can watch those afterwards.
it didn't even really work this year, the biggest thing was a slapdash Monster Hunter trailer
Pillars was way too purple for RPGgays to enjoy, which for the most part wouldn't even pay much attention to the prose if the combat and action was good enough.
I still prefer new vegas over top down dnd slog but he does seem butthurt over sven winning bigly
>seem
If you've been following cRPGs over the 2010s, he definitely is seething. All he wants is another blank check with a team and time to prove he can make a better RPG. He's been asking for it in X for months.
Eh I believe him
Pillars was far more of a passion project than New Vegas. New Vegas was Sawyer doing what his boss told him to do very well. Pillars and Pillars Deadfire were him completely unbeholden to bosses and able to really spread his wings and fly, and he writes the most boring game in existence that most people dropped within the first hour
yup, I agree. I do play crgps even though I don't enjoy them as much as action rpgs. writing in poe was very dry and detached.
Oh yeah, unless it's the game awards.
Voting in the game awards is actually pointless. The "Fan choice" really was just whichever choice the same people who decide GOTY demanded be made the "Fan choice"
JEFF GERSTMANN IS STILL A THREAT
I agree, but saying this after the awards ended makes him sound like he is mad as frick.
Also, literally who? OP is a homosexual.
>who?
Typical lariaBlack person
people still play and discuss fallout new vegas to this day
set a calendar reminder for 10 years time and see how many people give a shit about bg3
