Game Awards

[Maero]

So FFXIV has been nominated for a few awards.
But why the hell is it not nominated for score and music?
It has way better music then any of the nominees.

Anyhow, feel free to vote, lol

Maybe they listened to the background music in Coerthas Central Highlands? I had to mute it every time I went there just to not hear those same few chords over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Except for that zone I've loved the music I've heard so far.

They're not even a real awards ceremony anyway, just a method of selling Doritos and Mountain Dew while paying homage to Hideo Kojima, God's gift to gaming.

Watch it for the trailers, but don't expect anything more than for people to fellate the current "best" game on the market.

There should be a category called headscratchers, where games like Jump Force are nominated and you don't know why...

Yeah it has no right being there. A game like Marvel vs Capcom Infinite would've been a better choice then Jump Force and that game didn't really do that well either.

It's a marketing conference disguised as a "Game Awards" show. Last year was mostly 'exclusive' game announcements and shilling the Epic Games store. it's the Paid Advertisement Awards.

I will hope XIV wins its categories but in reality the Game Awards is just what I call "GeoffE3", as the awards are just hiding the fact it's a glorified combined press conference for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft for the next year. I enjoy watching it (especially last year with the Joker reveal) but saying I'm watching it for the awards is a lie lol

...uhm, Kingdom Hearts 3 has a great soundtrack, and DMC has some great music as well? Both give Shadowbringers a run for it's money, and quite honestly here the real travesty is Death Stranding being in every goddamn category.

I just visited the website behind the OP's link, and surely enough, it hasn't changed my opinion at all.

Yearly media awards, be it for movies, music, actors, video games, etc, just flat-out stink.

I'll continue to come to my own conclusions and laugh at these "awards."

Like all award shows it's all bought and paid for. Rather sad really.
