Ofc it does not solely and entirely value a game - but it is a part of it and especially in story driven games.

I can’t wait to see the gameplay for Wolverine man . I love that Insomniac is creating its own Marvel Universe

I wonder if they will put Wolverine easter eggs in this game

Can't relate. Uncharted 2 was like 14 hours long.

Yeah, but it’s still one of the biggest titles of the year.

Though if Alan Wake 2 comes with the heat (don’t think Mario Wonder would ever get nominated since its 2D) it’ll be a struggle to justify getting it in when you got:

RE4 Remake
Baldur’s Gate 3
Street Fighter 6
Diablo IV (think it’ll probably still get a nom)
Zelda: TOTK
Spider-Man 2
Cocoon (gotta have an indie title in there)
FF XVI (will probably be in there)
Alan Wake 2 (if it delivers)
Armored Core 6 (???)
Hi-Fi: Rush (technically the best received Xbox exclusive of the year)

Unless they expand it specifically for this year and this year alone of course.

It being 2D doesn't matter lol. Mario Wonder is probably going to be nominated. Previews were glowing, people playing the leaked copy say it's incredible.

TOTK
RE4
Spidey 2
BG3

These are locks. There are two more spots. One will probably be Wonder. The other is either an indie title which they almost ALWAYS have or something like FFXVI/AW2/Hi Fi. If a game "being big" mattered then include Hogwarts as a lock.

Damn. Ponies got Spider-Man 2 and Bots got an acquisition trailer

pre ordered but won't be able to play until next week

GOTY

That’s not a wild thing to do . Everyone has different preferences and length is reasonable for someone shelling out 70

Gamers win Friday

Spiderman 2

Mario wonder

More classics this year wow

I maintain that it is an unreasonable thing to do. Some of the best games of all time are 15-20 hours long.

That’s good for you but you really don’t see how someone else might value that ?

Like this game is already pre ordered for me but acting like this is a wild concept is interesting

Off Friday and Saturday, I can’t wait for this

Yes, I think using length of a game as a value proposition (barring, say, extreme outliers like 30 minute long games) is dumb. Imagine if you did this for other art forms. "$15 for this movie ticket? But it's only 90 minutes, what the f***? I need AT LEAST 3 hours for a $15 ticket!"

I like Spideys repetitive side quests

Why are people hating on MJ f***ing up the Akira slide?

That’s awesome.

That fast travel s*** is bonkers

Games are traditionally active experiences that have shown to last years for many of us. Some people are good with replaying the same game 3 times in a month for $70 . Some people would rather wait for a sale since they enjoy better/longer pacing for games they shell $70 for .

The movie comparison doesn’t add up

But you don’t understand that at all so we won’t agree but i just had to say my perspective

Only traveling in this game via CitiBike f*** swinging

Not into the car commercial filter they gave the visuals this time around

Why does the movie comp not add up? Because it isn't interactive? So lol?

Whats the value of RDR2

Can’t believe it’s been half a decade since SM1 (and RRDR2 for that matter)
