Hard agree on that music rant. The taste is so limited these days when there are so many other games out there who put their entire soul into their soundtracks to make something amazing and unique. I feel that Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Splatoon 3 got snubbed, too. They somehow keep making a perfect tune like Dedede's theme even more perfect, and Sword of the Surviving Guardian is just perfect jazzy goodness. And for Splatoon 3, a game in a series that makes a point of characterizing its soundtracks by having them be created by in-universe bands with their own characterization, it just feels like a spit in the face to them. They probably shit their pants in fear the moment they heard anything from Salmon Run. Especially if it was Chaos Carnival or the Cohozuna theme.

Heyo, everyone! Quick thing - this one wasn't made by me this time around, as you can likely tell by the differences in editing style. This one's by Skymin herself. Computer completely went belly-up over the past week, and given that as well as the VOD refusing to download, my side was completely out of the picture. But, on the bright side, got a massive upgrade to both my computer and editing software as a result, which means that these things should be able to come out even faster in future! Currently, got some plans in the works, and applying no meteors come to crash down on my fat head, we should be able to chug along toward the next highlight!

As a fighting game player who focus’s on platform fighters and a giant splatoon fan, multiversus is a good fighting game with some of my favorite character designs ever, but has some overall design flaws in its structure that while technically allows it to be free to play but makes it a worse game for general enjoyment, while splatoon 3 is one of the best structured shooters, with insanely cool movement and weapon design and has a few flaws, but is a better made and structured game than multiversus and it has such a pve mode it makes it so much better for more people

Fully agree about Best Music. I'm not a musician nor a game designer, I can't claim to know the intricacies of implementing a score, but I feel like the technical aspect of a score, in addition to general variety and execution, should be taken more into account than how "epic" it is. If I had my way, keep Elden Ring, Xenoblade 3 and Metal Hellsinger as they all have great soundtracks of both epic scale and technical aspects. I would add Neon White and Sonic Frontiers to the list in place of GoW:R and APT:R. I wanted to quickly highlight Xenoblade Chronicles 3's soundtrack for a second, because I feel like people undervalue the importance of the score at play. To start with, a lot of the music in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 uses a key instrument, being Flute. The Flutes (in addition to being made 1:1 to the same flutes from the game in real life) represent the main cast throughout a lot of the major battles (namely A Life Sent On, Keves and Agnus battle, You Will Know Our Names, Vs. Consul M, Feelings Risen to the Sky etc.). Additionally, a large section of those themes use similar instruments and feels to Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 music (Keves Battle sounds far more optimistic to represent facing the future, while Agnus battle feels more pessimistic like it's looking to the past). Several key leitmotifs are also used, as per the normal, most notably "The City" which is used in several pivotal fights. The music has a lot of critical aspects that focus on the characters in contrast to just being "epic God of War moment les go". Also the soundtrack is just brilliant overall. If The Weight of Life doesn't justify being nominated alone, then the aforementioned tracks, Words That Never Reached You, Eclipse Homecoming, the Post-Game battle themes, Noah and N, Mobius battle themes, and the vocal tracks (A Step Away and Where We Belong) would sure as hell help. They're all incredibly varied while also giving the game a richer feel on the whole.

Just because a soundtrack you may like doesn't get nominated doesn't mean it was snuffed out. Calling FFVII remake's score 'just an orchestration' of the original is just flat out wrong, about 50% of that score is unique to the remake and has never been any where in that series before. And even so, if a remake of a game from 25 years ago comes out, it's score should be judged just as evenly as any other game that year. Don't give it to second best because there is reused material in the remake (and there was also lots of reused material in DOOM and Last of us 2 that year so I just don't get that argument)

I liked the audio design but it wasn't nearly as good as the first game. I think Return to Monkey Island was good for accessibility, possibly to it's own detriment. I reckon the only game from this year I liked more was Elden Ring in terms of soundtrack. Elden Ring is probably a lot better than God of War as a game, especially if what people say is true about the constant hints. I'm disappointed Deltarune didn't get a nomination in either the 2018 or 2021 game awards but it's open beta so maybe it will get some recognition when it comes out of it's demo phase.

I think they need to define what they categorize as a fighting game more clearly. Granted they need to do that with SEVERAL of these categories but I digress. Again I’m simply trying to find their reasoning for placing it in the fighting category. I don’t have a horse in the race of “should it be here or not?” But I think I understand why it’s considered. Sifu is more traditionally considered a beat ‘em up, but the extensive movelist and combos the player can pull off definitely skew more towards fighting. And I think that’s why they consider it a fighting game. In general though, the biggest problem is the inconsistency in the categorization of these games for an award. As far as I can tell a game like Sifu has never been nominated for “Best fighting” in the past and that’s where the real problem lies. Because if they’re considering “beat em ups” under fighting, then they’ve missed a WHOLE LOT of Yakuza and other stuff.
