I doubt there is a magical 6th game with a better score than the game that got nominated for a Grammy for its score.
Hmm.. lets see, before i would put Hogwarts Legacy on for best music.. i would personally put, Mario Wonder, Street Fighter 6, Octopath 2, all more memorable then they generic borderline ripped from the movie OST that Hogwarts legacy had

The game didn't get snubbed.. it was Mid, it was a 7/10 game that maybe in a less crowded year might have got a token nomination.. but beyond that the only thing memorable about it was the controversy. and that in reality it wasted its I.P and potential

What makes the Hogwarts music score better than Spider-man 2, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Sonic Superstars, Sea of Stars, Starfield etc.?

I dunno, but all those games got nominated for other categories. They don't need additional focus.

I like your commentary, Boogie! Have you considered implementing Francis into these kinds of videos? Like maybe occasionally turning and being like, "What do you think about this, Francis?" and then him losing his shit for just like ten-second inserts? Might be a cool way to keep the character alive without you having to write a full sketch that YouTube might not promote, and also create sort of a Boogie-verse.

One, Poochie needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Poochie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Poochie"?

So what is it about the musical score that you think is award worthy over other games?

Sonic Superstars only got nominated for Best Family Game.

Every other game listed reviewed better than Hogwarts Legacy. Why wouldn't the better games be nominated more often?

Why don't they need additional focus? Why does Hogwarts need any focus when it's mid and not deserving of any noms?

What agenda is being served exactly by snubbing this mediocre game?

That's not how fucking awards work. This isn't second grade. We don't give Valentine's Day cards to everyone so the quiet kid doesn't feel sad.

Please shut the fuck up already and keep your opinions to yourself. It's not top 5 in anything, so no one fucking cares that it reviewed fine and sold good. It doesn't matter that Baldur's Gate or Alan Wake have nominations they don't "need". Hogwarts Legacy is a game that has no legacy. It's a solid game, but nothing about it stands out and it won't be remembered as an all time classic.

Also, the Grammys are the most bullshit awards out there. An album will come out to middling reviews and be seen as the worst in an artist's catalog, but it will win because of the name behind it. The pop awards are the only ones that even show a semblance of awareness from the voters. They didn't nominate Hogwarts Legacy because they played a bunch of video games this year and were blown away by how much better the music was than any other.

I'm doubting that you've even played many games this year. And you have a lot to say for someone who doesn't think Hogwarts deserves awards and totally wasn't emotionally invested in the controversy via your political views.

It's absolutely how TGA usually works, otherwise the secondary lists wouldn't be cluttered with mid games that just so happen to be triple A.

Any other game in Hogwarts Legacy's position would've got a nom and you know it. People gotta stop acting oblivious.

It isn't good enough to get awards. Cry harder for the game you totally don't actually want to win awards and totally only want to get a participation trophy so Avalanche doesn't feel sad.

People are really torn up that this aggressively mediocre game didn't get any nominations huh

An aggressively mediocre game would average a 7, not a 8.5.

Conflict posted...
You said yourself you couldn't even argue that it's more deserving of 'best music score' than the nominees and I've no doubt in my mind the case would be the same for every other category HL would be 'eligible' for

The whole point of being listed together is that there's no clear winner yet. There's no need to argue HL over any of the games to make the point here.

Conflict posted...
You just feel bad for the development team because it's not their fault the game is associated with a transphobic asshole.

Well yeah that's what boogie said.

And there isn't a single category it would be eligible for where you can say it clearly had a top 5 case. It probably doesn't even make top 10.

It's probably the highest rated triple A game this year that didn't make the cut. Ya'll can believe the cutoff just naturally fell right above HL but that seems awfully coincidental.

You hate trans people, loved how triggered the libs were, and are pretending we are dumb enough to actually think you are apolitical and ambivalent towards the game itself.

It's also a really weird conspiracy where these publications heavily advertised the game, posted numerous articles and walkthroughs on the game, gave it mostly good reviews, but then decided to cancel it by not giving it some token nomination in a random category at award shows. Why didn't they just pan it from the beginning? Or... give it 9s and 10s and then snub it at awards shows.

Or would you say they gave it 7s and 8s just so they could have plausible deniability when it got no nominations (which is the standard most games of that quality receive)? Did they forget that the chuds would never forget the game?

I think you don't understand how many games are in the mid to low 80s on Metacritic.

Do we really need a third Ubi open world? TOTK and Spider-Man 2 both being there is bad enough, there doesnt need to be another one thats way worse than those other two.

Didn't make which cut? No one has ever praised you for your deduction skills. By which metric do you believe it is a top 5 rating for any of those categories? And don't discount indie and AA titles. They're already getting snubbed as is.

Fake news. I supported playing and boycotting on the part of the consumer. I just don't like institutional bias.

The "get a single nomination at TGA" cut.

It's true though

If the Grammys handled game awards, the winners every year would be whatever game sold the most and whichever sequels have the most brand power. As long as a came wasn't Gollum or Kong bad, it would have a shot. It would basically be the Spike VGAs.

Combat is good yeah. The issue is that you wont be doing that most of the time. Most of the time you are collecting bullshit, flying through a world that has nearly nothing in it outside of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade and going through cave temples that are brain rottingly easy yet never end.
