I may be wrong but I thought that the character designs of Bayonetta were created by a woman. Not that it changes a ton of the discourse but If it is true than it is worth mentioning at the very least.
So it was announced that Namco Bandi is the developer on this. I guess this is ok, little bumbed that it’s not a Nintendo developer but the 3DS Metroid was good from Mercury Steam so this should hopefully be cool.
Weren’t the working practices awful for Red Dead Redemption? I don’t remember there being a call to action to boycott any coverage of that game. A lot of people claim that is the best game of the generation.
I’m not an advocate for those kinds of working conditions, they are awful and it seems like the Video Games industry is one of the worst offenders.
But like what has been stated in this thread previously, why punish the hard working people more than they already have been by not covering their game they worked (allegedly too) hard on.
@teddie: yeah I agree, it was really weird that the game was just never even talked about. I had no idea that there was even any controversy over Hat In Time until GB pulled the quick look without even saying why. I had to look it all up when I would have preferred them elaborating what that whole thing was while going over the game itself.
@secondpersonshooter: I started out fairly recently by playing the first one on my phone and I gotta say it wasn’t a bad experience at all. I played 1-3 on my phone and they all have played great.
Maybe having a vote is too extreme but they seriously need to get some sort of structure for these things next year because god damn they went off the rails this year.
Maybe have someone forgo the GOTY deliberations and act as a facilitator and move the conversation along when it starts to go in circles, this person can change each year. I don't know, just find something to cut down the bullshit that made this years talks so hard to listen to.
Having 25 hours of video game arguments over the course of one week is too much for everyone.
