Necrokiller ain't gonna like this clean sweep. The eventual Ragnarok PC port will run better than GOTY Elden Ring does on PC

 

[Necrokiller]

Elden Ring still sold the most on PC

I mean, I didn't play Ragnarok in 2022, so...

How could you forget "Lulztoon 3"

All of these Nintendo games are better than 5/6 of those nominees in the gameplay department

Game developers disagree

 

[CerebralTiger]

Biased Western game devs

Even then, they have no choice but to bow to Elden Ring

 

[Necrokiller]

Biased Western game devs

Even then, they have no choice but to bow to Elden Ring

Tries to make a point but also chooses to ignore the fact that invalidates it. Just CerebraTiger things

Elden Ring deserved all the accolades. Gorgeous graphics, exciting game play, George Martin story.... Just give it an Oscar.
