And it's a game that is like...

uh actually trying to say things in a really interesting way and it feels like it's it's kind of it's it's it's gotten rid of a lot of the bullshit from previous uh games from that team like the persona games there's no there isn't a single um like throwaway gay joke which is nice metaphor which is nice it's nice to be like oh i can totally love this game without it and be like oh this one part is kind of shitty yeah

The translation is really good. I don't know if people remember this, but the original version of Persona 5 before Royal, the translation was totally busted. There were like so many clunky lines and like things that seemed like they were coming from non-native English speakers. And it just was a little hard to get through. Metaphor is phenomenal, like amazing localization work and writing.

And it's really, it's also like so fitting for our current age, like the themes of that game and the relevance to- Modern politics. Yeah, it's super wild. So, yeah, I think that game is phenomenal, and I think that probably deserves to win. But the thing is, Bellatro is such a phenomenon. Bellatro is like... I don't know. I've never played anything like it before. It's wild.

Yeah, the normies. It's got the juice, for sure.

There is Elden Ring, Child of the Earth Tree. No, they can't do that. People would riot.

Don't forget Black Myth Wukong. Then there's Black Myth Wukong, which... The fact that that was nominated. I know. So how much of the game awards... It's like 90% press and 10% players. Is that the deal with it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

The fact that it got a nomination is a little bit shocking, and that makes me think, like, I wonder if there are enough people who are kind of like the Chinese contingent or people who just really like that game that that could take it over the edge. I don't know. I doubt it.

Yeah, well, I mean, there are some Chinese journalists who are voting, too, and I'm sure a lot of those are big fans. It has such a humongous fan base in China who are just so proud of that, that like a Chinese company made this AAA game that was really popular and successful that I think a lot of them are going to be voting for it in every category possible.

I'm more interested in seeing the actual announcements and what they have to show. Yeah, I don't know. I would have loved to see. I feel like Animal World deserved a little bit more. I feel like that deserved a Game of the Year nod. Yeah, I don't know. I don't really care that much.

um sure yeah i mean lots of stuff um but the stuff that is exciting me recently is like stuff that indie games that come out of nowhere so actually the most exciting announcement for me last year was the announcement of rise of the golden idol which is a sequel to the case of the golden idol which actually just came out a few weeks ago that got snubbed from the game awards but it's an amazing game bless and barrett have been loving yeah it's phenomenal played both of them for the first time recently
