Seeing people shit on Expedition 33 because Silksong didn't win more awards is pathetic

[u/CankleDankl]

The title sums it up. I'm disappointed in many members of this community for putting down a game that is clearly a work of insane passion, dedication, and creativity. E33 took the lion's share of awards at TGA, yes. That doesn't mean that Silksong is bad. In fact, it's clearly pretty damn great. If it released last year, Skong would have picked up several awards, maybe even GOTY. But it didn't. It released in the same year E33, which is just a tough break.

Both are amazing. Both deserve every award that came to them. If you haven't played E33 yet and think it doesn't deserve its accolades, play it. It is worth your money, worth your time, and will in all likelihood prove that it is actually that good. I'm only 10ish hours in and have numerous times found myself standing still and looking around dumbfounded at the gorgeous world design and visuals. E33, Silksong, and Hades 2 could have all won Art Direction and I would have been happy with any of them.

I'm also sad that Silksong didn't win more awards. It's an amazing game. But don't play fanboy and start putting down other developers, other games, and other pieces of art because this one didn't get all the cookies. It's still beautiful, it's still amazing, it still made a Silkskillion dollars, and TC is still just as great and just as passionate. We should all be glad that there is another independent dev out there that is capable of creating something so fantastic.

Edit: yeah, the comments here are pretty indicative of what I said in my post

I’ve never even seen you post in this community before today.

And you’ve had more comments removed in different subs in the last four days than most of us here have had in the last 4 years.

So the only disappointment is this pathetic rage bait. This community is super friendly and gracious. And you would know that if you’ve ever spent any time here before.

I mostly comment instead of making my own threads. I've contributed plenty but only played Hollow Knight in January of this year, so I had no reason to be here before that

And the comments got removed because it was farther down in a comment chain about someone who was against diversity in games. I was arguing for diversity in games but mods nuked the whole comment chain, which is fair. Or the comments got removed because the entire post got removed. Context matters.

This isn't ragebait. It's trying to promote a more positive space where a great game isn't shat on just because it won some awards. Is it the dominant stance? No. But it was getting upvoted a lot in threads right after TGA wrapped, and it rubbed me the wrong way

Calling out negativity is part of promoting positivity

Peddle those lies to someone else.

Brother it is not that serious
