>all the people creaming their pants over the fact that Nintendo bothered to actually animate Mario for a change when the trailer came out
I have an abstract kind of hatred for humanity
I genuinely think NSMBU it's the worst of the New series (NSMB2 it's the word 2d mario). It so uninspired and shallow, the secret sucks and somehow the music it's even more repetitive. Everytime I play it I feel like I'm playing through a worse version of SMBWii, which is actually a good game
I played it and it was fine, but I didn't understand the hype it got at all. It wasn't bad, but it didn't blow my mind, and it felt too gimmicky for me at times. I was disappointed that all of the Special World levels used some gimmick you've already seen before instead of just giving you some running and jumping challenges.
I'm honestly surprised. I didn't think it was bad, I just thought there were far more games that had the marketing push behind them to be hyped up enough to be GotY for an awards show. We didn't even know Mario Wonder existed until a few months ago. It came and went. Hardly the kind of fanfare some of those other games got.
I don't know how it was received here, but other gaming communities on the internet seemed really thrilled by it, and Youtube kept recommending me glowing reviews. People were acting like it was the best side scrolling Mario in years and years.
I dont get why this and spiderman and alan wake 2 got nominated when they are so shit compared to the other games. Zelda, BG3 and RE4 Remake are all miles better than the other games.
Wonder got a lot of hype and it's a Mario game, so of course it's going to get nominated. Spider-Man 2 I think was generally well received outside of Ganker and is the long awaited sequel to the 2018 game which quite a number of people enjoyed, so it's no surprise it'd be nominated. I still need to play the Alan Wakes, but the second game seemed to get a lot of hype, so again, no surprise it was nominated. I agree with BG3 and RE4R being better than the others though (didn't like TOTK nearly as much as BOTW. Too many issues leftover from BOTW and too damn much busywork).
>but it was basically a gimmick-a-level game.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that, it made it so every level felt pretty fresh with constant rotation of enemies and wonder effects, the main issue is that some of those gimmicks really could've stood to be developed on further over the course of later levels.
I would be surprised if there were many platformers that can match wonder's gimmicks in both production value and variety. pizza tower sure but that's a worshiped darling.
It deserves it.
Fun may be a buzzword on Ganker, but that doesn't take away from how fun it was to get through. Won't win and I don't think it should win either, but a GOTY nominee is about right.
Fans used it in their silly console wars, so that alone makes it unworthy of GOTY. When you willingly go out of your way to talk about sales and metacritic, IN A VIDEO GAME DISCUSSION THREAD, then you are instantly admitting that you hate the game in question and do not want to talk about it.
I can't understand why adults use critic scores to try to prove the worth of games they like. Teenagers sure, but adults? Then again, I can't imagine why any at least half decently adjusted adult would engage in console warring anyway.
>Console exclusive gets console-war shitposting
Putting aside the console-war part, is there a single fucking game that isn't incredibly niche that doesn't get put through the wringer by shitposters trying to start flamewars? I'm pretty sure they don't exist.
It was pretty good and great to play with my nephew but overall half of the game was a tutorial and the only tricky levels were consecutive quick one-tile wall jumps and the super final.
A lot of levels seemed to end just before really even getting going.

This. Votes that would have went to Zelda that end up with Wonder would have went to no other game. Basically Wonder hurts TotK's chance of winning but also makes an Alan Wake 2 or even BG3 win MUCH more likely.
>alan woke and naggerman to split the moviegame goyslop vote >totk and wonder to split the nintendo vote >re4 because capcom paid for it to be there as an advertisement >bg3 easily sweeps
Yeah, I can see it
All 2D Mario games since World have sucked because they've just been pale imitations of World. Not one new idea has come out of 2D Mario in the last 30 years.
I hope this wins but it won't not woke enough
It's gonna be tranny gate 3 or Zelda
they wouldn't dare to make anal rape 2 into goty or naggerman 2 those games have lot of woke points but even the game award retards aren't dumb enough to make them goty
I barely come to Ganker anymore. What is it that people have against BG3, here? Aside from pronouns in the character creation, I don't recall anything that would make me start seething about trannies.
Alan Wake 2 better win this shit. Lets see the competition. >game about having sex with FUCKING BEARS >game that's literally SEVENTY DOLLAR DLC >A FUCKING REMAKE, GAME OF THE PAST YEAR >Super Mario Bros with FUCKING GACHA MECHANICS
I can't believe I'm saying this the year the wizard game came out, but... gaming is healing...
>dude look we made mario look both ways and slowly creep out of the pipe!! Isn't that so zany and random!! XDDD
It's forced soul slop.
>all the people creaming their pants over the fact that Nintendo bothered to actually animate Mario for a change when the trailer came out

Are you sure you're not just a cynical asshole?
>forced soul
this is good you fucking idiot. talented people working to entertain you that's literally what you want.
Every use of the term "forced soul" should be accompanied with a modern example of what actual "soul" is.
lmao what a joke. this game is basic as fuck and is only slightly better than the NSMB games. how the fuck did it get such a high metascore?
It's fun. That alone makes it better than every other game it's competing against.
The best 2D Mario is still New Super Mario Bros U
Pikmin 4 should have been Nintendo's nominee for GOTY, not Mario or Zelda
I genuinely think NSMBU it's the worst of the New series (NSMB2 it's the word 2d mario). It so uninspired and shallow, the secret sucks and somehow the music it's even more repetitive. Everytime I play it I feel like I'm playing through a worse version of SMBWii, which is actually a good game
reminder that new super mario bros wii has one of the best soundtracks of any mario game ever
Congrats you posted the only good tracks in the whole game
nsmb wii was really good we get it.
pikmin 4 sucks, it's honestly one of the most overrated games I've ever played
Okay pariah, get back in your Sonic cage now.
i thought it was fun
I enjoyed it but it was way too easy, imo
Tranny game
But that's not Balding Gays or Soilentman
Starfield was so bad that there was an open spot. The real answer is that they want to split the Tendie vote so BG3 wins
I thought TGA awards were determined by panelists and critics outside of the player's choice votes
It's 90% industry people and 10% fan vote. Panelists and critics can have a Nintendo bias too however.

Geoff only put this in to split the vote between Zelda troons and Mario fags. Don't be delusional you idiot.
Of course it would get nominated. Journalists love Nintendo despite all the delusional retards on this board stating otherwise.

This game is NOT GOTY material not by a longshot.
The Nintendo bonus is fucking real.
Truly a travesty and a demonstration of the pro tendie bias
So what exactly does it do better than 42308948972545 other 2d platformers on Steam?
Some of the Wonder effects were pretty neat/fun, but it was basically a gimmick-a-level game.
>but it was basically a gimmick-a-level game.

Bing bing WAHOO
The thing that it "does better" than all the others is that it's made by Nintendo.
I would be surprised if there were many platformers that can match wonder's gimmicks in both production value and variety. pizza tower sure but that's a worshiped darling.

you are so insufferable ACfag
I'm so sorry that I wanted to talk about Mario Wonder and what it could've did better, only for the threads to always be derailed into console wars.

Because nintendo bribed them, Darren

Wow, I knew nintendo fags were unhinged, but that's fucked up
levels too short, no soul etc.
super mario world is still the best by far.
Nintendo got two nominations to soften the blow when they don't win. It's over.
Unironically, I think it was to split the vote. Nintendo hasn't given dorito pope any promotion since the smash dlc ended, and he's furious.
This. Votes that would have went to Zelda that end up with Wonder would have went to no other game. Basically Wonder hurts TotK's chance of winning but also makes an Alan Wake 2 or even BG3 win MUCH more likely.
>alan woke and naggerman to split the moviegame goyslop vote
>totk and wonder to split the nintendo vote
>re4 because capcom paid for it to be there as an advertisement
>bg3 easily sweeps
Yeah, I can see it
if this baby shit wins I will kill myself
Really? Giving the pope a fat bribe right now
>if this baby shit wins I will kill myself
It has a 0% chance of winning.
Mario games never won GOTY.
yep
where did Mario touch you nigga
Are you using a gun, knife, rope, or jumping?
I hope it wins now.
Will you take requests on how you do it? I think Jumping off someplace high would be appropriate.
Live stream it on as many sites as you can.
I don't get it. I believed the hype and bought it. It's a bog standard 2D Mario game.
All 2D Mario games since World have sucked because they've just been pale imitations of World. Not one new idea has come out of 2D Mario in the last 30 years.
I hope this wins but it won't not woke enough
It's gonna be tranny gate 3 or Zelda
they wouldn't dare to make anal rape 2 into goty or naggerman 2 those games have lot of woke points but even the game award retards aren't dumb enough to make them goty
I voted for it, but votes don't mean dick in the TGAs ("10%" weight, which basically means nothing even if they do "count" the votes).
I barely come to Ganker anymore. What is it that people have against BG3, here? Aside from pronouns in the character creation, I don't recall anything that would make me start seething about trannies.
Less about the game, more about the media that sucks it's dick but would have panned it had the game been anime themed.
>Ganker said it wouldn't get nominated.
SNOYS said it wouldn't.
just proved that 2D platformers are simply superior because you don't have to fight the fucking camera half of the time.
its just a fucking braindead easy 2d platformer
how HOW do people still eat these games up
Genuinely a great mario game, perhaps best 2D since World.
Alan Wake 2 better win this shit. Lets see the competition.
>game about having sex with FUCKING BEARS
>game that's literally SEVENTY DOLLAR DLC
>A FUCKING REMAKE, GAME OF THE PAST YEAR
>Super Mario Bros with FUCKING GACHA MECHANICS
Spiderman 2 and Tears of The Kingdom are both under "Seventy dollar DLC"
>gacha mechanics
What?
She's talking about the standees lol
Stop defending this, Darren
>Super Mario Bros with FUCKING GACHA MECHANICS
?????
No one is going to remember this game. It's another fresh off the conveyor belt marioslop that has no business being considered for any award.
