The Brightness settings on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is actually horrible and makes the game nearly unplayable.

Avowed were a Playstation Exclusive the reviewers would be giving this game 9.5-10/10 across the board. People giving this game below 8 is actually Xbox tax. To be clear I don't think xbox tax is intentional conspiracy, I just think reviewers treat PS games with kid gloves more so than Xbox games.

About 5 hours into Avowed and speaking just of gameplay, it is the greatest first person RPG ever made and its not particularly close.

The same people who say that Avowed's story doesn't engage them enough are the same people who say the Uncharted games have peak gameplay and gave Astro Bot 10/10...

Aetherdrift Limited might be the worst limited experience I've ever seen. Its all ass.

Crazy how Greg Miller is the least Sony Fanyboy at KindaFunny. VERY MID show and they are frothing at the mouth to give it a 10/10. 100% Greg would have been the reasonable voice in the room.

South of Midnight is going to get a 7/10 because of not amazing gameplay by the same reviewers who give the first 3 uncharted and TLOUS 10/10. Most of the recent Naught Dog games have mid gameplay at best.

Sitting on the Halftime show, Not Like Us makes it a top 10 on its own, but I felt like it would have been been with more surprise features and LA/Compton legends could have made it a legendary show ever, not just halftime show, still easy Top 5.

Replaying Cyberpunk 2077, and even 2.0 is frankly it is a step down from the Witcher 3. I think the general shooting and looting part of the game is fun, but the writing is VERY hit or miss. I think Johnny Silverhand is just a bad character. Both V's/Romances sans Kerry performances were stellar.

Expedition 33 is already the early frontrunner for GOTY and it isn't even out yet. #XboxDeveloperDirect

I really do wish the absolute worst on every Trump voter, they all deserve everything they are going to get. Do not help them, being better didn't do shit so stop trying.

Another group gave AstroBot Game of the Year. They described other games in their top ten with how they liked the narrative and gameplay, literally the art and the substance of a game. For AstroBot, its how the team who made it works and it was "fun", every time it feels like Sony gets a free boost

There was some deflection that they only had fake blood money shows, now they have the second biggest PPV of the year. I really hope Kinda Funny backs off their WWE stuff, this along with direct Hogan partnerships is a horrible look imo which was already kinda bad for my taste.

This is the least surprising thing from that company and I truly hope people like Kinda Funny really step back from WWE love, which always felt terrible knowing that WWE leadership has always been full of ra(p/c)ists.

For a game that came out in 2020, Mafia definitive edition feels worse then games that came out in the mid 2000s.

My Top 15 #Games of 2024 1. Metaphor 2. FF7 Rebirth 3. LAD Infinite Wealth 4. P3 Reload 5. Animal Well 6. Indiana Jones 7. Astro Bot 8. Duck Detective 9. The Operator 10. Prince of Persia 11. Black Ops 6 (campaign) 12. Unicorn Overlord 13. Terra Memoria 14. Skald: Black Priory 15. Hundred Heroes

On break I beat both Astro Bot and Spiderman 2. Astro deserves its praise but it isn't my GOTY due to its short runtime vs its price and motion controls. Fun game/great OST 9/10. Spiderman 2 might be the worst 8/10 in the history of gaming, meaning there are 5/10 I enjoyed more. 1/x

I really hope all the people who were rightfully mad that Xbox bought Activision, are also mad that Sony is now the largest shareholder of FromSoftwares parent company making them owners in all but name.

I get that when people say "Astro Bot asks the question 'what if video games were fun" they mean it as a joke, but did they literally not play anything else this year? Like there were a ton of fun games throughout their games.

Maybe the funniest win I've ever had. OP has Ashaya and Mythweaver out, mythweaver ends up making infinite copies of itself (I think the copy see itself as a land enters) that dies to legend rule. I have vein ripper out, I literally won via my opponents combo

Unironically paid winner. Literally every other game was more deserving. #GameAwards

Flute Guy a true King among Kings. #GameAwards

I mean on one hand free Snoop Dog show, on the other hand, why is this at the #GameAwards

We need to start bullying Gacha game fans. These game need to stop. #GameAwards

A Game of Thrones game is like 5 years to late imo. I hope i'm wrong for their sake. #GameAwards

Anyone who plays the squid game game, and isn't payed for it, didn't understand Squid Game. #GameAward
