I've been voting on the steam awards. Hope the Stardrive series wins this one.
The categories suck. The only one I can really make a definitive choice on is "test of time" or whatever it was (doom.) The rest are just stupid. The others are:
"I'm not crying, there's something in my eye."
There are no games I have any feels about on steam. The only "feels" I've had for a game were the end of red dead redemption (the feel of witnessing a noble and triumphant sacrifice) and animal crossing new leaf (real feels bro.) The last game I played that demanded "feels" from me was LISA, and while I did enjoy that game, I didn't really feel any feels I was told I would feel. It's a nice game, but not depressing. Like "The Road," you'd have to be soft in the heart or have some faith in humanity feel anything from it.
"Just 5 more minutes."
I guess Civ5 would get this one, but I don't have a job, so everything is "just 5 more minutes." Btw, if you don't have the Civ5 bundle, now is a good time to get it. It's 83 cents.
"Whooooaaa, dude."
This one is for the most "mind blowing" game. I havn't had my mind "blown" in quiet awhile. The last thing to do that was the movie "Book of Eli" which I saw in the theater. To have your mind blown, you need to experience something amazing or unexpected. Games and movies are all built aroun established story tropes these days, so nothing in them that happens is usually unexpected. There is Doom 2016 though, but I don't own it. (I've tried it though, but you shouldn't vote on things you don't own.) Doom 2016 is unexpected in that it's fantastic in this day and age of horse shit and amazing in that it's fantastic in this day and age of horse shit. It doesn't blow my mind though. It's great, but my brain isn't currently undergoing violent orgasm from the experience.
"Villian who needs a hug."
That's fucking dumb, but "Spooky's house of jumpscares" will probably win that one. Oh sorry, "Spooky's house of jumpscares jumpscare mansion." Fucking lawsuit happy assholes. Not the devs of the game, the shitheads who insisted they change the title.
"Game within a Game"
I could do that one actually. The only contender is "Tabletop Simulator" which is literally all the board games in video game form.
"I thought this was cool before it won an award."
If you think a game needs to win awards to be cool and that somehow liking it before it had the award somehow sets you apart, then you can fuck off the edge of my dick you hipster shit.
"The best use of a farm animal."
This is rather specific isn't it? As if the winner has been predetermined by someone, or perhaps someone over at steam wants to give "Stardew Valley" an award but couldn't think of another way to do it.
"We didn't think of everything"
A fancy name for the write in category. I'm going to write in "butter toasted genitals." Just in case you think I'm lying though...
Hinterland is an alright game, but it's a bit on the obscure side. Probably won't receive a nomination for anything else.
I mostly agree.
I wrote in "Most Abandonded Games In A Series" for Stardrive, voted silent storm for "withstood the test of time" (mount and blade being a close second), and voted "I thought this game was cool" for... Age of Decadence or USC, I think, simply because they would be huge (and deserve to be) if more people knew about them, not because I'm a hipster or it matters that I liked them first.
For the most part though, the categories are crap.
