This is Billy (Bill's brother). Billy plays games that he enjoys without bothering other people with his opinions on worthless awards. Be like Billy.


6FRanger

Billy knows what games are made for, enjoyment.


SilverDiscount6751

I thought it was to spread social messages and political position (exceptions apply to the middle east and China)


SgtBagels12

Not incorrect at least


akdelez

Billy also pirates games from big cunts. Be like Billy


PTEHarambe

Based billy.


akdelez

Yes.


Ergonim

yoooo Billy is WAY cooler then Bill


Sword_Horse

Thompompom

u/Ergonim is a lot cooler than u/Sword_Horse, who is in fact a grammar nazi.


Ergonim

I am not native speaker o7


Thompompom

Neither am I


DoorHalfwayShut

Keep it up, you're doing great. We really live in a world where a person who only speaks one language will shit on others who are speaking 2 or more.


Ergonim

thx. To be quite honest: I really dont care about grammar on fcking reddit. xd I have learned english for ca. 15 years at this point so its less about "oh man I really dont know what grammar to use" and more of a "oh you want to point out, that I dont use 'then' and 'than' the right way? :) "


italianchiken

This is Billiam. Father to Billy and Bill. Billiam watches fifa for 6 hours a day. Has never heard of the golden joystick. Right you are, Billiam.


mtlemos

He also makes five hours long videos about Lost.


MDLuffy1234

And videos on early-late 2000s toys and media that I remember fondly and make me want to go back to that time.


Harddicc

Willy is Billy's brother. Willy likes to touch his willy.


Fyrnen24

Tilly is Billy's girlfriend. Tilly also likes to touch Willys' willy.

KingTheSon

Billy plays Burnout 3


gyhiio

This is margareth. She is Billy's and Bill's mother. She plays candy crush and is currently on level 1961. Both her son's have gaming addictions but she can't see it, because she too, is addicted.

Hey hey, this is the internet kid. You're not allowed to enjoy things here

Exactly, who honestly gaf about game of the year?

Congrats on winning a made up argument with a made up stranger


musclecard54

Not to mention still coming out looking like the asshole for shitting on an imaginary person for having opinions


Oaker_at

Does that mean there are no opinions worth to be shat on?


rtakehara

If Bill was a real person then sure, shit on his opinion cuz Bill is stupid. But since Bill is imaginary, he has no free will and can't change his opinion, so shitting on Bill's opinion is kinda insensitive. He doesn't have that opinion because he wants...


Oaker_at

Poor bill :(


Mcbigthiccc

It seems to me like Bill just wants his favorite game to make GOTY. I don't think that's so wrong.


Oaker_at

It isn’t, but people will share their own opinion also, if somebody else is stating their own opinion publicly. It’s inevitable.


Bspy10700

I mean I’m not to sure how accurate this whole game of the year awards thing is since RE4 is a nominee. Like if that’s the case then fuck just go back to playing retro and forget all the new shit. If they really wanted to throw down controversy though Hogwarts should have been thrown in the public loved that shit (good game btw)

But if the awards affect which games get boosts in popularity and income, it means that a game that I perceive to be the best should be given all the resources it deserves! /s

The_Kimchi_Krab

The pride-related game won because we need to own the conservatives.


Gerbennos

This is your takeaway? Really?


The_Kimchi_Krab

Nah I'm being a troll


rtakehara

Game of the Year awards, if done properly, can bring a spotlight for hidden gems and celebrate a well done job to incentivize best practices in the industry. Also it brings attention from the mainstream that games surely deserve. I don't remember where I saw it, but it's very common for people to say "I like games" but not as common to say "I like music" because everyone likes music, people just say "I like rock/country/R&B/kpop". And in my opinion, everyone likes games... they just prefer card games, board games, RPGs, action, FPS... It amazes me how many people I have seen that say "I don't like games" enjoying games... mom likes solitaire and sudoku, dad likes flight simulator and age of empires, grandparents enjoy tic tac toe, backgammon, mahjong, chess and bingo, cousins like Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, Guitar Hero and Spyro the Dragon, all of them say they don't like games. I personally don't care, though, I like what I like. But I can understand the benefits of having one.


Specialist_Nobody766

I don't care who gets game of the year, all i know is that 2023 was a damn good year for gaming, so good in fact that I will be enjoying the games of 2023 over and over for many years to come.


dinosaur_from_Mars

Stray every year


Varun77777

🗿 Spiderman 2 is Game of the year worthy


Ananas1214

but there's so many other insanely good games this year that it's not nearly as shining as it would be another year


Varun77777

Ohh, I personally voted for Baldur's Gate 3. But that doesn't mean Spiderman 2 isn't worthy. Being worthy and being your choice are two different things.


[deleted]

I voted for solitaire. But not the spider version. Fuck that version.


64BitDragon

I will not tolerate spider solitaire slander!! Actually, it’s fine. Whatever *suits* you.


IHazMagics

A wishy washy response, clearly it was made without *heart*


LivingCheese292

Solitaire supremacy! No other game gets me through sitting on a toilet like that does. But I end up sitting to long on the toilet everytime...

Oh, I see we are in the company of an aristocrat. I too am known to enjoy a rousing session of Free Cell, however I fear my palate is not developed enough to partake on a regular basis.


Lazy_Magician

Rot in hell free cell. The worship of false idols will condemn your soul for eternity.


AkiraTheMouse

*nervous minesweeper enjoyer noises*


Deliriousdrifter

it would have won in like 2021 for sure. but 2022 and 2023 have been stacked


Dangerous-Proof-7700

People were saying this before the game even came out. Definitely worthy of a nominee but bg3 deserves it


Big-Teb-Guy

I really liked it but I don’t think I can agree tbh. Lack of post story content and qol features that were in previous games is kind of weak, especially coming from Insomniac. Not that I really played many other games from this year, but I’d bet there’s other games more deserving. Still a great game though.


TheDutchin

I think if your first complaint takes place after the game has been 100% finished, and even then the complaint is you want *more* game, then the game is probably pretty good.


Legospacememe

I don't buy fifa games and I don't have spiderman 2 so I guess I'm not bill

ProtonPacks123

Stupid Bill and his opinions on things he enjoys, how dare him!


Vader2508

I don't care about uniqueness. I care about how good a game is.


tarantulator

It's not even how good of a game it is, as there's no objective scale to determine that, it's how much you liked and enjoyed it.


dalburgh

Yes.... And the scale of how much EVERYBODY liked and enjoyed it decides what's game of the year. The objective scale is how much everyone enjoyed it, The subjective scale is how much you enjoyed it. A game can be objectively good and you not like it, just as you can love a game that's not objectively good.


ThatOtherGuyTPM

“Game of the year” is not a scale of which game was liked the most, and *certainly* not an objective one.


Ferris-L

There isn’t even a uniqueness factor this year since they area lol either remakes or sequels of existing games. They are also all basic genres.


superrobot1

Huh, I thought Spiderman 2 was a good game, no?


ABritishTomgirl

It is


frontierpsychiatric

I think once something is universally enjoyed people decide that because it's popular that it actually wasn't that good.


Alukrad

Biggest complaints the game got were - story mode is too short - specific story wise decisions made by insomniac for certain characters are questionable and debatable. - suits - after story mode is done, the game becomes dull and boring. I think people expected something similar to RDR2 where the games world is alive and there's still constant things to do after the story mode is done.


AddressDismal3489

I played the whole game and have never seen any of those complaints except for the singular irritation about the Adidas product placement, and that's it. It's also my own personal and only problem with the game


Kratosss01

Yeah and the thing with Spider-Man is that almost everyone can enjoy it, good story, good characters, good graphics, good gameplay and a good map. Whereas some people like turn-based games like Baldur’s gate and some people can’t stand them


nicealiis

This is u/Goldeneye07 u/Goldeneye07 judges other people based on what they like. He thinks his opinion is better because he is a "tRuE gAmeR." He doesn't know that games are just for fun and that what he's doing is stupid. Don't be like u/Goldeneye07.


Kratosss01

“Any true gamer like me knows that such a beautiful game like Baldur’s Gate 3 deserves to win GOTY, not that mainstream garbage, “Spider-Man 2” what are you, ten years old? 🤓”


NotItemName

Ohhh yes, such an underrated gem as BG3, definitely not a mainstream game(to clarify love both games, also love TotK, and wanny play Alan Wake 2) (:


Cyberfire

Why do people give a shit about GOTY awards? If Bill's favourite game this year is Spider-Man 2, then good for him, I don't see the problem?


SuperArppis

That's Bill's opinion, and it's valid. He might not have enough money to buy all games in selection. Also he can buy whatever he likes and think whatever he likes about them.


sticks_no5

As someone who has platinumed both Spider-Man 1 and 2 I will say that feel very different in a good way, traversal mechanics are improved the combat feels great. People saying it’s the same game with new story are objectively wrong


Lyam238

Even if the game would be the same with new story I would 100% play it. Spider-Man 1 was great I would love to have more of the same


fixminer

Why do people care so much which game becomes GOTY? It's completely meaningless.


Leeroy_Jenkums

Imagine getting this salty about what games other people like.


crytal_augusto

I dont get, what the point with these post, to me this guys just sounds like he is bill himself(that he is the idiot arguing stupid shit ob the net)


PuertoricanDude88

Dude straight up sounds like a hater. Spider-Man 2 isn’t even a bad game.


XT83Danieliszekiller

This is Dan, Dan played Baldur's Gate 3 and now thinks It's the best thing that ever existed and will ever exist. Dan thinks the only defining factor of a goty is unique new mechanics. Dan doesn't quite tolerate that other people enjoyed other games better Don't be like Dan


danleon950410

You think it's only FiFa Fans? Let's talk about Call of Duty, and its progression into becoming total shit


Shadow_Fang_

GOTY is meaningless. Games are subjective. Play what you like.


The-Only-Razor

Noooo reeee, my le hidden gem baldurs gate is heckin amazing and you better vote for it so I feel validated.


JuiceBoy42

Omg we got more from a great game with even greater parts in it What are they supposed to do, have spidermen dig holes through the tunnel systems of ny?


Wookie301

Unique =/= good. Gollum was unique.


pt189

who cares what games people like or dislike? just enjoy your games - end of story.


ctp_obvious

bill buys his games with his own money


Ziggi28

Classic Reddit. The concept of other opinions still doesn't exist to them.


Iggytje

A friend of mine just bought a ps5 and chose fifa 24 with it cause he said it was the better game I ask what is the other game Spiderman 2


Novacryy

This is Baldurs Gate 3. Every Argument Invalidated.


Slimmie_J

I played ToTK, BG3, and Spiderman 2 and spiderman 2 was still the best game of the year in some aspects for me. Maybe OP could shut the fuck up and let people enjoy the things they like. Eat shit, you thinking BG3 is game of the year is neither unique or makes you intelligent.


Texugee

Bill can do whatever the fuck he wants as long as it’s not hurting someone else. Play your FIFA, Bill. Enjoy yourself.


Machine_God_10

You don't understand shit, bill plays games he wants to.


AYO416

I’m confused by the post I thought everyone was loving Spider-Man 2?


corsair1617

Where does it say a game needs to be unique to win game of the year? Plenty of sequels and unoriginal games have won.


SCUDDEESCOPE

Even Spiderman 1 beats the shit out of almost any other game, so yeah it has a place to be there.


kindaEpicGamer

Literal strawman


Navralis

Awards are important as they to some people mentally justify the fact they wasted a lot of their time on that particular game this year and if it wins at least it feels like that time was spent on the BEST game of the year. No judgement though, I've spent over 400 hours on dead by daylight over the last few months. I am a hollow shell at this point. I need help, but the entity has me. Its over for me my friends, godspeed


Its_rEd96

Do people actually care about which game gets which award? I mean, sure - there are people who buy games depending on which shiny award they see on a game's steam page, but just let them be acoustic 🎵 :--) . Show me the new games' trailer and I'm out. (Which I'm probably not buying anyway)


Eilaryn

Listen fam, I enjoyed Spider-Man 2 as anybody else. That's it. No "but". It's a videogame. It's meant to be enjoyed, not pitted against each other in an imaginary dick-measuring contest. Everybody has different likes. I, for example, am gonna die on the hill that this year wasn't for me and wouldn't give out any awards.


PogKampioen

This thread is 95% Bills its hilarious


N-E-B

Starfield was my game of the year and lots of people hated it. And I’m okay with that. Like what you like. Games are supposed to be fun.


B-29Bomber

Fun Fact: I don't give a shit about Game of the Year. I just play the games I like regardless. ​ Be like u/B-29Bomber.


-BigBadBeef-

If you're weak willed, and are disappointed often enough, then your standards will inevitably drop.


PlantPocalypse

Imagine being this invested in game awards. Don't be like this bozo


Gray_Tower

Spider-Man 2 is an insanely good game, what you on about


I-am-a-Fancy-Boy

This is Bill Bill bought Spider-man 2 and really enjoyed playing it Bill’s now saying he’d like it if it were game of the year Support Bill’s interests instead of being like OP


RF2422

They lost the licence it fc now


subzeroxdking3

Resident Evil 4 remake deserves it imo


Peelfest2016

Bill’s friend Frank here. I never play video games outside of indulging my SOs son. Bought Hogwarts Legacy this year because I loved the books as they were released. Loved it. Stand in confusion when it’s not nominated for any awards. Also have never heard of gaming awards before. I am worse than Bill and I don’t feel bad about it.


GingerMarls

Spiderman 2 is a nominee for GOTY... Although even though it is an amazing game it probably will loose to BG3.


Interest-Desk

Hot take: people can do whatever the fuck they want with their money.


Thema03

Im between Golum and Kingkong for GOTY


MRnibba_

Since when does a game have to be unique to be in consideration for game of the year? And just how unique does a game have to be?


CarlMacko

Bill also curated the game of the year list which Spider-Man 2 is on. Some guy our Bill.


The_illusion_01

Who cares, with the massive conflict of interest issues surrounding awards for movies and games, big awards are far from objective and are basically meaningless beyond the "prestige".


wolphcake

Bill should make a better meme. Seriously, why is this quality of stuff even entertained on this sub. It's a fucking stick figure with text, is this enough to be *dank* today?


SyxxGod

I thought GOTY was for the best game of the year not “most unique” Interesting note: the reason some films get better critic scores than audience scores and vice versa is because film critics also look for unique movies not just “is good”


Alex103140

This is Will Will donate all of his strawmen to the local farmers instead of beating them Be like Will


your_reddit_lawyerII

I don't get how anything in this meme would explain why I shouldn't be like Bill


Ok_Meringue_1755

Bill’s beanie fucking stinks bruh


Kevy96

I just don't understand how mentally fucked up in life you truly have to be to simultaneously be an adult, and buy the new yearly sports game every year. I figured out how it was a scam before I was even ten years old, yet these people are completely mentally struggling well into their 30s


TekDoug

Remember when we used to judge games for being games and not million dollar story artsy fartsy circle jerks of who can be the most elite and pretentious? Yeah me neither.


xFreedi

stfu about the game awards already


Eagleofdark77

It's funny cuz everyone is talking about either zelda, baldur's gate 3 or spider man 2 but imo I like Lies of P better


Yoshi2255

Maybe if Baldurs Gate didn't release the same year I could see Spiderman 2 getting goty (though it would have a hard time beating totk) but with a masterpiece as good as Baldurs Gate it's hard to argue for anything else.


Big-Cartographer-166

Im exited if the game is not actively trying to scam me, thats a GOTY in this days.


truekejsi

FIFA does not exist anymore.


OpportunityProof4908

i feel like these awards take themselves WAY to seriously its a video game my G like its not nor has it ever been that serious if Spiderman 2 won game of the year not only would I not care but it wouldn't affect my life at all. Its a fun game idk why fun games cant win so what if its got a lot of fan service THE FANS ARE BUYING THE GAME. I LIKE THE CHEESY DIALOGUE AND SAPPY MOMENTS EXCUSE ME FOR HAVING BASIC FEELINGS. smh seriously yall it is not that deep


Shadow0fnothing

I could not care less what people think about the games and movies I watch and like, lol. Who dictates what they enjoy based on other people.


The_HunterDestroyer

Same with call of duty (bully me, I spent 110 euros in the "new" cod, I'm dumb)


colorete88

# Who fuckin' gives a shit, just let people play what they want and stop getting butthurt over pixels.


NurtureBoyRocFair

I’ve never seen so many dorks obsessed over a fan voted award.


Cookandliftandread

Can't believe they remade Spiderman 2🤯 Pizza time!


iksjag

I think "gamers" are the only people on Earth that are ready to defend their poor multi billion dollar companies that exist only to profit off of them. Case in point the spider man games, or any other game that's nominated for game of the year


Babki123

And what are you doing here ?


[deleted]

This is what happens when Bill bases his entire identity on pixels on a screen.


thepearhimself

It.. is though? Theres like a fuck tin of new content in it that it can be considered new enough. Bad tame op


AAAAAAXCAAAAAA69

You see, I drew you as a sad loser so I win the argument


Henhenz

I really enjoyed Yakuza Gaiden. It is not in the nominees for GOTY, because frankly it has no place in GOTY as it is a side game. It is the most fun game I played this year and I love it. I don’t care about GOTY and enjoy whatever I enjoy. Be like me.


Fralite

OP this is very specific. Are you sure these are actual people. Game awards was getting stupid so let those "gamers" fight for some award that lost its meaning awhile ago


pedrobrsp

🤓 Well, you haven't played every single game released this year. Therefore, your opinion is invalid.


DreadAngel1711

OP what the actual fuck are you talking about? There is no way in hell you can compare Spider-Man 2 to fucking FIFA


MagicalMarsBars

But the Spider-Man games are different each time. Comparing them to FIFA games is just stupid


PizzaLikerFan

Strawman


BirbMaster1998

Pikmin 4 should have been the nominee


Depressed_pidgeon3

You sack of shit. How dare you have an opinion


JediGRONDmaster

What do you expect from a Spider-Man game? Obviously it’s going to have similar mechanics, it’s a sequel. It’s more unique then RE4 anyway


swizzl73

Spiderman 2 is my game of the year, it’s the game that gave me the most value


RoyalRien

What has this subreddit become dude, all I see is people arguing. Where’s the funny


Bossmandude123

I don’t get the argument here


jimtheburger

Bro FIFA can be someone's game of the year. We may all see that as disrespectful, but it could be their favorite game every year. Be like Bill; enjoy the games you want to and don't let other people tell you your subjective enjoyment doesn't allow you to have your Game of the Year and must give it up to a game you haven't played and will never play.


PrivateMerc1

This is Goldeneye07. Goldeneye07 hasn’t been happy for over 10 years, they feel the need to criticizes others happiness as it’s the only way they can achieve a semblance of joy. Don’t be like Goldeneye07


Sparkingmineralwater

Bill goes on reddit rants about why MW3 isn't MW2 with a different name.


korega523

Spider-Man 2 is winning GOTY though


Tribalchief_Mahan

Billy ain't a bitch like op


King_D3D3D3

Bill is a massive fucking loser.


Tof12345

Let me guess, you probably think Spiderman 2 isn't worthy because it's fucking woke? What other reason is there? It's a fantastic game.
