death stranding gonna sweep

It's going to be this year's RDR2. It's going to win a bunch of awards, but it won't win GOTY.

Resident Evil 2 will be this year's God of War.

Two other things about RE2 is that it's a remake, which no doubt some publications will disqualify it just based on that. And the other thing is that it's a horror game, which is not a a genre that wins GotY awards

That's silly, because remake or not, it's still a fully new game. I've seen nothing but praise for it everywhere. It's also the highest-rated game of the year.

Resident Evil 2 Remake will probably be GOTY at most publications.

Game Awards wise, I imagine the Nominees will be:

Devil May Cry 5
Disco Elysium
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Smash is there because December games are counted the following year.

It seemed a little less certain as Election Day loomed, but at the end of the day, the result was exactly as I originally expected.

Video Games are pretty cool.

Man 2020 GOTY nominees are pretty obvious (baring any unexpected announcements).

Cyberpunk 2077
Elden Ring
Final Fantasy VII Remake
The Last of Us Part II
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

Maybe add Ghost of Tsushima as a sixth nominee. And you got your set.

I feel like that scene with the horse pretty much confirmes that Arya is the Prince that was promised and is going to kill Dany.

The Slayer of Ice and Fire.

Which would be amazing if Dany's character arc of becoming the mad queen was well written. Too bad.

Literally 4 of my top 6 most wanted (well I had Chosen Undead over Artorias but close enough).

Apparently, something happened in the PapaGenos server that proves this might be "super legit" and "unfakable". Here it is I guess, from a Discord user named Duckmeat:

In summary, i have reason to believe that the description part of the ads, or the part in the red box in pic related, has RANDOM elements in it. This causes the ads, when they show up, to effectively have a larger number of possible descriptions than would NOT be possible with a man-made ad, which would be stuck with one. Ill explain how this works below. Note that I will be using the Dutch version of the ads, and roughly translating them to the best of my ability.



For the element in the blue box, 1 of 2 opening statements are selected to start up the ad:
- Ontvang 5 nieuwe vechters, 5 nieuwe levels en meerdere nieuwe muzieknummers. [describes that the fighter pass has 5 new fighters, 5 new stages, and many new songs]
- Joker uit Persona 5 is er! Koop de Fighters Pass om direct als Joker te spelen. [talks about Joker being in, and that you can play him by buying the fighter pass. this will hypothetically be replaced by the other fighter pass characters as they release]
Only 1 of these gets picked to open the ad, and this is independent from things like the title or url. Its purely cosmetic.



For the elements in the green boxes, 3 general statements about the pass are listed in a random order:
Nieuwe vechters dag 1. [new fighters - day 1. i have as much of an idea as you what this means, but all of the ads have it]
"Slechts 24,99. [costs 25 euro total]
Joker komt eraan. [Joker is coming. i dont get this one either, since hes already here]
The order is completely random, and since this is done without replacement, there are 3 times 2 times 1 = 6 possibilities for how this part can be constructed.



If someone faked this, not only would they have had to have:
- deliberately hard-code randomized versions of their fake ads to replicate non-manmade ads
- also pay 12 times as much money as theyd normal have to to keep them all running

I don't know about you guys, but I'm having major Grinch leak flashbacks.

On PapaGenos Discord, they've been trying to debunk it and they just might have. Anything DLC related to any game put with Smash Ultimate brings up the Fighter Pass. So that's why Artorias might have been brought up. With Doom Slayer and Ryu Hayabusa brought up because of the 5chan leak and Banjo-Kazooie because of heavy speculation, I think this is all but confirmed dead.

Video Games are pretty cool.

The episode had some good stuff, the opening bit until Dany leaves Winterfell, the Tyrion/Varys convos, but some stuff really irked me.

Ghost's farewell being half-assed (likely due to budget), Euron's fleet out of nowhere/Dany not seeing them/Rhaegar's death and the whole final scene (Cercei could have just killed them all right there and have been done with it, it was kind of out of character) were all problems I had with the episode that really dragged it down.

3 > 2 > 1 >>> 4. Definitely the weakest episode so far.
