Team Cherry said they didn't want to go to the Game Awards because they thought they'd lose to E33 and it would be a waste of time. Jeff proved them wrong of course, by giving them one award that got speed read out with 5 other ones in one of the junk categories that you don't even get to accept on stage. (Gotta make more time for ads, can't waste it on game devs.)
They also didn't travel to Golden Joystick even though they won a bigger award there. The boys are comfy in Adelaide planning DLC. No need to spend 19 hours on a plane to Los Angeles.
yeesh the downvotes on these comments are crazy when you are 100% correct. A white australian flying in for a weekend to accept an aware has a literal 0% chance of Ice caring. They are literally rich enough to buy trumps flashy gold (green) card
You can't even say something factual without people thinking you're MAGA
Maybe they would change and not devote the best ongoing game for the speech, and give it to hollow knight just as they did for hades 2. They should have come to the awards.
gonna puke bro they didn't even let them have best music SHOW ME A SINGLE SONG FROM ANY OF THOSE OTHER GAMES BETTER THAN SKARRSINGER KARMELITA OR LOST LACE'S THEME I DARE YOU I FUCKING DARE YO-
And they prioritize spectacle over detail. Calling E33 art better than Silksong art is like saying that Hazbin Hotel is better than No Country For Old Men. It's all hype.
I gotta respectfully disagree, E33 has some damn amazing Art direction. And while it is purely a matter of taste which game is prettier, the way E33's style blends Symbolism, Art Noveau and Surrealism under the guiding Hand of Chiaroscuro, which specifically leans on the play between light and shadow, is simply on another level. The very art itself in the game feeds once again into the themes of the game and the world.
While I do think Silksong should have won art direction simply because it's more unique, the comments that are trying to say E33 has "bad" art direction are just being disrespectful.
Listened to them both and while I admit they are great songs, I still vastly prefer Karmelita and Cogwork core. They're some of my favorite songs of all time, not just video game music.
I don't know how to tell you this gently but if you put une vie a t'aimer and Lost Lace's theme against each other in a poll it wouldn't even be close. Lost Lace would get crushed.
And you're gonna say that your own singular opinion is the arbiter of objectivity? The field of best song is pure popularity because it's such a subjective thing.
Silksong had a fantastic soundtrack, but it's not beating E33 overall if you go around asking people.
Lmao you clearly have not heard the E33 soundtrack, it fucking clears silksong’s soundtrack and it’s not even close. The other awards like art direction are at least debatable for who should have won, but music? No
A game is not indie when it receives millions from a nearly half a billion-dollar publisher and gets support from the French government. That goes against the definition of independent, yet for some fucking reason it still got nominated for that award.
E33 is definitely not the best RPG of the year. It has RPG elements, but they are not innovative.
E33 didn't have the best art direction, Silksong did, because it was hand drawn and had so much work and detail put into it for a 2D game.
E33 didn't deserve to win best indie game, because it is by definition not an indie.
Sure, it's a great game, but there are aspects that it got outclassed on and only won because the jurors were dickriding for no reason.
“See, you guys won.”
OMG he was so vexed by the snub.
I missed it, was he pissed at the Silksong fanbase or something?

They did not say they didn't want to go because they thought they'd lose to E33.
They said they didn't want to go and they said they thought they would be "safe" since E33 would win.
it's a seemingly small difference, but it significantly changes the meaning
They also didn't travel to Golden Joystick even though they won a bigger award there. The boys are comfy in Adelaide planning DLC. No need to spend 19 hours on a plane to Los Angeles.
I wonder if them not wanting to go has something to do with a certain orange man and his ICE goons…
???
What does politics have to do with this
You know politics can directly affect people, right?? I wouldn't risk getting kidnapped either.
I don't think Australians have much to worry about.
Why's that
You can't be serious...
Mate.

I've heard of Canadians getting in trouble so I don't think anyone's safe tbh.
Like, admittedly I don't know if Team Cherry were white or not, but based on probability, they likely are, and if not, they're still Australian.
Not that many Australians, white or not, are probably keen to go after the recent changes, but this isn't the sub to talk about it.
You can tell the time by the number of Amazon ads you've heard (seriously discourse about the awards aside that shit was obnoxious)
Every year they rush more awards I swear
Maybe they would change and not devote the best ongoing game for the speech, and give it to hollow knight just as they did for hades 2. They should have come to the awards.
Yeah, fuck Keighley for that. But thanks.
/s?
Cool but when is the release date for this coming out.
2027
I like how we are all freaking out over this small win.
We should’ve won art direction. Action was def ghost of yoteis category
If it wasn't silksong that won it, it should have gone to Hades II. They literally got NOTHING
Best action game?
I feel so bad. Every category that Silksong got robbed from was also robbed from Hades, but hades lost to Silksong
Who won art direction then?? There was nobody else close to SS in that category.
You know. You already know who won art direction
gonna puke bro they didn't even let them have best music SHOW ME A SINGLE SONG FROM ANY OF THOSE OTHER GAMES BETTER THAN SKARRSINGER KARMELITA OR LOST LACE'S THEME I DARE YOU I FUCKING DARE YO-
Half of E33 is UE5 assets. "Best art direction"
And they prioritize spectacle over detail. Calling E33 art better than Silksong art is like saying that Hazbin Hotel is better than No Country For Old Men. It's all hype.

100%

For those who come after, Une vie a t’aimer, Lumiere. Lets not act like SilkSong and Exp33 aren’t neck and neck in this category
Listened to them both and while I admit they are great songs, I still vastly prefer Karmelita and Cogwork core. They're some of my favorite songs of all time, not just video game music.
“No mind to think”
Call me the Hollow Knight BECAUSE I'M LOSING MY MIND TO THINK
These judges could have successfully sealed the radiance bro-
I need to it that somewhere holdup
"I need to it that somewhere"
MINOR SPELLING/GRAMMAR MISTAKE, YOU'RE GOING TO PUTRIFIED DICKTS
It’s Reddit not me I swear!
I don't know how to tell you this gently but if you put une vie a t'aimer and Lost Lace's theme against each other in a poll it wouldn't even be close. Lost Lace would get crushed.
If we put it to a poll Gacha games would get every award
Ah yes because polls are the almighty authority on all matters, we all know how well-educated and media-literate the masses are, right?

I have heard it, actually, maybe it's personal preference but Silksong wins by a mile in my eyes.
renoir battle is better ost than all of silksong
It's literally filler award to stop the TGA boycott ;-;
Like, c'mon? Best Action game and then Best Action/Adventure? Literally they did it after the fuck-up last year with Deadpool silksong-baiting.
SEE YOU GUYS WON
Thought this was a silkpost by the guy who's been spamming today at first
[deleted]
Very coincidentally the category it didn't share with E33
IT'S BEEN LITERALLY 1 SECOND
Would be better to win nothing.
The Game Awards continue to be a joke.
"here's your pity award lmao. 6 trillion more awards to E33!"
A game is not indie when it receives millions from a nearly half a billion-dollar publisher and gets support from the French government. That goes against the definition of independent, yet for some fucking reason it still got nominated for that award.

ABSOLUTE SHAW
a win is a win
"We" won fuck all. Team Cherry won
GGs to Silksong, absolutely deserved the reward.
it's worthless, Colonizer 33 wasn't nominated
