True, but they also have a dedicated "Streamer of the Year" category (which is clearly what "Content Creator of the Year" means at the Keighleys) and they gave it to fucking LudwigSo here's a weird thought: we were talking a ways back about "Content Creator of the Year" and the legitimacy of the selection process for that (I think? Unless my brain is making up memories). Well Esquire just released their Gaming Awards winners, and their Content Creator of the Year award went to DidYouKnowGaming:
The Esquire awards page
And that's more what I'd expect. So now I'm kinda wondering (and this sounds spiteful but I don't mean it to be) is one of the requirements to be nominated for "Content Creator" at the Keighleys being a streamer with your face onscren? Do other forms of gaming content not count, the same way documentaries get disqualified from the Oscars for not having enough "original footage," despite their quality (yes I'm still sour about Senna getting snubbed a decade ago)?
All bugs aside (maybe they fixed those now?), it's a very pretty game with what I hear is a fairly compelling story, and also some of the shallowest RPG and open world mechanics you'll ever seei'm gonna play it to see what the fuss is about
i'mma drop a spicy take real quick
imo hollow knight was a 8/10 at best
Dunno why y'all are spoiler tagging this whole conversation lolyou know I can totally respect this
it's like me and Yakuza 0. most people would give that game like a 8/10 or whatever but I could make a Tim Rogers style 10 hour video review explaining exactly why that game deserves AT LEAST a 15/10
you're allowed to like hollow knight
I thought it was good but not great
tbh too hard? felt like the game didn't want me to play it
Anyway my opinion has changed from '7.5ish out of 10' to '"maybe this game isn't for me and that's okay" out of "do I like this game"'. A lot of people really do seem to think this is one of the greatest games of all time, whereas for me the combat and general difficulty (particularly the death and map mechanics) made me lose interest, so I've come to the realization that me boiling the game down to a lower-than-usual score is just not that helpful
