I said it are few weeks ago. IJATGC will be the best Indiana story since The Last Crucade! So glad to see this getting good reviews.
Well said! Joy-Cons suck.
Ughh!!! Joy-Cons!
I'm thinking 7/10. But I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.
Every Xbox game preview has been positive. You can't always go by that. Redfall's previews were positive, Hellblade 2's previews were positive, STALKER 2's previews were positive. Flight Sim 24's previews were positive.
Yet they all released to mediocre reviews.
Or just get rid of one the other pointless categories, like Most Anticipated Game. How retarded is it that they give an award for a game that hasn't released yet?

It's still an expansion that requires you to play at least some of the original game before you can play it. This sets a terrible precedent IMO. The VGA's need to create a "Best Expansion" category.
The VGA's became a joke to me last year when they decided to prevent Hogwarts Legacy from being nominated in ANY category for obvious biased political reasons! I decided then, that I would no longer tune in and support such a corrupt organization.
Yeah, if they could just fix the load times and give it a 4K resolution/framerate boost to 60fps, it would be just as fresh and look amazing even today!
If they had just fixed the loading times, Mod Nation Racers would remain to this day one of THE best Kart Racers in existence, up there with Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing! The creation tools in MNR were insane! Allowing you to create virtually any character or any vehicle! The track creator wasn't bad either! I miss that game so much!
I'll go a step further, look at the NES game The Legend of Bayou Billy. It incorporated so many mechanics in that one game, it was quite ahead of its time. It had beat em up mechanics, shooting mechanics, driving mechanics, etc. All in one little 8 bit title.
How do we consistently get these positively previewed Xbox games from IGN (Redfall, Starfield, Hellblade 2, STALKER 2, etc) and when they come out, they get bad to mediocre reviews? I'm expecting the same thing with Avowed.
Saying it has Witcher like combat isn't exactly encouraging.
Because we need to make room for more "important" categories like Most Anticipated Game and Best Content Creator.
That is horseshit.

The awards show is in early December. Media outlets need time to vote and the show's production needs time for category implementation for the nominated games. Why do you think its stupid? Any game that releases after the deadline can be eligible in the VGA Awards the following year. Seems fair to me.
The cutoff is mid November. It's always been that way.
Quite the opposite. I think it's been a "good" year for gaming but very little great. Besides Rebirth and Astrobot, I haven't played much that has impressed me to thinking it's a GOTY contender. Maybe Warhammer, maybe Stellar Blade, maybe Wukong (though I consider those "good" not great) I know many here will say Metaphor but I personally don't get the hype. Atlus games are not my thing. I played the demo and I feel like 80% of my time was spent readin...
Imo it's FF7 Rebirth's to lose.
Man there's quite a long line forming of canceled/dormant 3rd party projects for PlayStation that never came out...
Agent
Deep Down
Wild
Little Devil Inside
Pragmata
Silent Hills
And I know there's more!
