Everyone learned that award shows were a sham back in 2005/2006 when RE4 wasn't nominated for anything because Capcom didn't actually belong to the AIAS at that time. Like they didn't care to pay the dues or something.

Also I totally forgot there was a three year chunk where each of the three "B's" won GOTY here. And it's even worse in retrospect when you read about how Inquisition winning just made things for Bioware worse in the long run because the awards were just a reinforcement of sorts that the Bioware Magic could always come through in the end.

thats ok re4 is ridiculously overrated anyway and worse than the 3 games before it

growing up my mom always treated valentines day as a celebration of love in general, not just romantic, and i still prefer that interpretation

I'm on my way from work to get my wife some flowers and maybe sushi or something.

It's also a movie night for kids so and they loved Totoro so I figured we should watch Laputa next.

My favorite thing about Rage 2 was that there was apparently a bug at launch that made it possible for you to go through all of the tutorialization without actually unlocking the rage powers. I sure hope they fixed it because that seems like a bad bug.

The intro sequence to Prey is one of my favorite intros in recent memory. I should bump it up the list.

Prey was my 2019 game of the year. I will copy and paste my feelings from the goty thread:

quote:

Prey whipped.

Prey managed to get me to play a video game non stop for just over 29 hours in three days. 29 hours out of 72 were invested in Prey. I started and finished it in that timeline. 40% of 3 days was video gaming This does not happen to me. It is an abnormality and a shock. A system shock 3 if you will pardon the joke.

Prey is everything I love about sci fi FPS rpgs ramped all the way up to maximum levels. It has the killer detailed environment, it has the precise nature of character control, it has the gripping and intriguing story line, it has the fear of the unknown and of the enemy types that constantly give me panic attacks, it has the soundtrack that ebbs and flows at all the right moments while also having some killer songs, it has the emergent gameplay to allows you to approach situations completely under your own idea of how and it allows you to break the game if you master these things.

Prey was a phenomenal experience to me and one of gaming's all time best. Prey was a return to a kind of game I have been longing and one that will stick with me for the rest of my gaming life. I was the predator to Prey and I ate it up. I would do so again without another thought.

Still true.

I thought the intro was pretty good (it was actually the only part I played through when I tried to pick up Prey a year or two back) but mostly I'm enjoying picking through files and emails and stuff. Just seeing all the hosed up privatized space-race antics of the company you work for.

So I did actually play through most of Control but to me they didn't handle that stuff as well as Prey does. The constant redactions seem like a lazy writing tool, and there's a lot of documents that just add flavor to the organization without actually having any relevance to the story.

Prey has a much stronger delineation between flavor and plot relevant stuff, while also doing a better job of having actual environmental storytelling as well. I sort of think the writing is just better in general.
