@Col_McCafferty
I commend you for not being upset, not worth losing sleep over this sort of thing. I do understand the argument that there are considerably more complex and involved games out there that would be the more obvious choice for the bigger awards.

But I often find the most fun I have is with the smaller indie games, and sometimes a short indie experience will stay with me much more than a long campaign from a big budget triple A game, so it does please me to see them not being overlooked for this sort of thing.
Controversial perhaps, but it does generate some interesting discussion.

I wasn't expecting all this indignation in the comments. I've yet to play the goose game but it looks very entertaining and different.

Why are people so upset over this? Bad experience with a goose while having a picnic by the river? Certainly no laughing matter. Let me know which goose it was and I'll endeavor to have words with them.

@get2sammyb
What are your thoughts on re-reviewing games?
I imagine when this game arrives on ps+ next week that empty lobbies should no longer be an issue and as I understand it, the game received numerous patches giving quality of life improvements since it's arrival.

So assuming an influx of new players doesn't overburden the servers and everything goes smoothly, it might make for quite a different experience now.

Re: Ubisoft Wants to Avoid Its PS5 Games Playing Like Copy and Pastes

The copy & paste issue isn't a total deal breaker on it's own, but coupled with such uninteresting narratives and poorly written characters.. there are plenty of far more interesting games worth my time.

I understand the strategy, big names will sell huge numbers regardless of the quality up to a point. You get that in the music and movie industry as well. So minimum effort, maximum profit.
Nice to see they've admitted there's a problem, that's the first step.

Re: Soapbox: Sony Is Not Anti-Consumer for Making PS5 Exclusives

In my mind if it releases on both new and old hardware, then it's not a next gen game.
If current hardware is perfectly capable of running it then I'll be assuming it's not making much use of the new tech that's been made available.

I think most people, when they buy a new console would be excited to play a game that really shows what the new kit can do. Otherwise it would be rather anticlimactic.
