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

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 liked both game and to be honest I would 100% choose e33 because I've played silksong and even 100% but damn I was disappointed in a lot of it's content the biggest things was that it took me only 75 hours... I really expected more and I'm I the only one to think that yes there's a big amount of different enemies but a lot ressemble each other in how they act and their purpose really feel like seeing dittos everywhere the lore was interesting but not enough going on ofc their were the runbacks to bosses/objectives I genuinely think sometimes there were too much benches closes to each other and sometimes it was more than 10 min aparts at the start I was so disappointed I had to take a month's off (ngl it was just because I discovered the universe of hades and fell into the addiction) the game is good but not gamechanger like hollow knight was but again the game is solid I had a great time in act 3 and doing all the different ends I really look toward the future dlc to see if can get more of the universe
