Northernlion expresses his issues with the Game Awards 

the The Outer Worlds vs Outer Wilds part is sending me

NL pumping the breaks on Disco Elysium is next level ranting

Man I don't care about the awards, I'm just here to see Geoff Keighley be like "And something incredible you've never seen before but you've all been waiting for... Check it out." *WORLD PREMIERE* and then it's shit like Feeding Frenzy 5 on the Xbox Game Pass

The 3rd person RPG awards

What I hate the most about the current way the Game Awards is set is that the same games get nominated for multiple categories that several other games could have taken. Also, Lies of P in the RPG category is hilarious. It's like Sifu being in Fighting Games last year.

We need a council of 50% normies and 50% reddit gamers to find the perfect middle ground between "CoD was pretty fun I guess" and "Here's 5,000 words on why Lies of P deserves GOTY".

So happy for Dave the Diver’s nomination for Best Indie. Nothing says indie like funding from a billion dollar corporation. It’s just like when Sifu was nominated for best fighting game.

“The most middle-of-the-road, capeshit, AAA, Sony, cinematic, quick time event fuckfest” is such a satisfying way to describe it

Even better than the God of War rant, this is cinema.

This is a perfect combination of incredibly based and a great bit, holy fuck I love NL

The man knows his place! 😂He can come for outer worlds but not Disco Elysium! HE KNOWS!

Northern 'Every indie game should be Slay the Spire' RyabLion

The sequel to the god of war rant, music to my ears lmao

What I'm hearing is NL should return to Outer Wilds

The thumbnail is pure gold! It hit so hard i just spilled my coffee laughing.

I do find it funny he went for 2019 because Sekiro won that year. A game that would later inspire Lies of P, his current GOTY.

What NL says is why I never bothered with the first insomniac spiderman until last month or so when It was on deep sale and I decided to give it a shot. It is legitimately a really fun game and far better than any piece of shit spider-man game in the last decade. But granted its still a superhero beat-em-up, and its not even revolutionary in that genre the same way Arkham Asylum was.

he's cooking

For some reason whenever NL does his Olivia Munn bit, my brain goes to Zendaya is Meechee. It just feels right.

Shoutout to Timothy the Tattooed Gamer

the Marvel bit was actually me. i watched Spiderman and suddenly everyone is dead or retired.

NL has had it with this hellsite

Gotta love all of chat frickin popping off when Disco Elysium is mentioned

Slay the Spire so influential RU-vid thinks NL is playing it in this video

Holy shit the Console Game Awards are crazy this year

Where the hell did you get nl singing the msm plant island theme for the outro wtf

he could have just replayed his rant from last year about the game awards,replaced god of war with spiderman and i dont think id notice

suika game not nominated... need I say more?

I think my favorite thing about NL is he can totally dunk on something but he’s never super negative or raging, it’s always just hilarious no matter if you agree with him or not. Thank you librarian for these clips!

tysm for the my singing monsters outro - perfection would it be too much to ask for an nl singing compilation with all the outros so far?

Nice, dlguiga said chants of sennaar is good. Now I know I need to try it

Holy shit where is the vod for him singing in the outro

The Game Awards is just a big advertising campaign. The awards themselves mean nothing more than a GAME OF THE YEAR sticker on the store page. Anyone who gets genuinely invested in events like this has been completely played by the machine.

I'd give my left kidney if NL played Outer Wilds on stream, that'd be the most pogged content all decade.

holy moly the outro song

Having played Spider-man PS4 and Miles Morales and hearing that 2 is just more of those, I feel like the people calling those GOTY genuinely don't play other things, like those guys who only play FIFA and COD every year. Their entertaining sure but like not the pinnacle of the medium, this year or any year.

Librarian is a Etho fan? Based.

have to say. i was indeed thinking of the outer wilds

When you can't tell if the outro or the video are the real content

Damn bro that members list has reached 3 columns, remember us when ur walking the red carpet

It's damn true that the game awards is just one big advertisement. Not just the trailers but the awards themselves. "Wow look at how great these already high-selling games are, don't you want to be playing the best games of the year?" Like it is fun to watch - I get together with my friends every year to watch it. But it really is just an event mainly designed to make more money for everyone involved. There's a reason why the biggest categories are always mainly comprised of the best-selling AAA games that also had the biggest marketing budgets.

My man is based. If you release a decent big budget game you are highly likely to end up on the game of year nominee list.

the person in chat saying "play mosa lina pls" is so right

Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age or NL to play Spiderman 2 for the Playstation 5

Can someone please explain the "Ender's Game? Spiderman 2" Joke to me, I still don't get it ☹

my singing monsters outro goes hard

where is the monster anthem rendition from?

Indie Games are to the Game Awards what Animation is to The Oscars

The biggest tell about the game awards being marketing bonesense is all the awards are always about genre and stuff and not like the specifics of game making. It’s like if the Oscar’s had “best Neo noir” instead of like make up and costumes and cinematography

Go off king

im Dlguiga pilled and like to -2 NL but this is the truest shit he ever said +2 my bald hero

The public voting jury only accounts for 10% of the overall result of the game awards

timothy the tattooed gamer got me good, he used his government game

Need to ressurect prototype. The edgier, more genocidal spiderman.

bold takes from a 18 year SAP player

8:30

What is the outro song a parody of?

“Middle of the road, cape shit, triple A, Sony cinematic quick time event fuck fest” “I’m not even mad about Spiderman 2”

Joel

Baldurs Gate is going to sweep. If it deserves them or not dont care but there's no mystery cause people are in such a frenzy about it why even have other people show up or whatever. Its not even remotely fun for whatever value can be derived from awards. Also huge issue with the vr catagory as the only person who cares i can tell you for a fact that they infact do not care. It literally is just games from whatever is on psvr2 . Vertigo 2 and Hellsweeper didnt even get remotely considered cause they aren't on the front page of playstation

This man really hates spiderman hahaha i love it

peppaTalk SLAYTHESPIREWORKS

WAIT WHEN DID NL SING THE PLANT ISLAND SONG

The game wards are about as Reputable as the Oscars.

Spiderman 2 was rad as fuck

Outer worlds was the Starfield of the year 2019. And you know what it was probably a better game since you can least side with bad guys in that game (basic I know)

how are you getting these outros, is this AI? Lol

Librarian can you normalize your track audio to like -3db Curtis Judd has a couple great videos explaining audio normalization. I'm trying to listen to the clip on my phone in a noisy environment and it just wasn't mixed loudly enough

hes so right

Game Awards? Yeah, I sure hope he does

man i thought nl was being too harsh but i got ragnarok… makes marvel look good tbh

What game is NL playing at 7:30?

since we're mentioning Outer Worlds, why did people pretend there was anything 'anti-capitalist' about the game??? like literally every conflict is between reasonable corporate boss who is willing to compromise despite doing evil shit and CRAAZY anti corporate person who is evil for some reason despite like, feeding starving people or whatever. Parvati is literally like 'don't side with the lady feeding people she's MEAN' like the game is so busy deepthroating the boots of a corporation that doesn't even exist it's fucking wild

So did he end up voting or no?

based dood

"The La Casa" will never be not funny to me.

The Game Awards is valid if the thing I like wins

BG3 is the only game that matters

I died when he said “Timothy the Tattooed gamer”

Library ultra cultured? My Singing Monsters outro?!

It's between Alan Wake 2 and Baldur's Gate 3, the other nominees are really there just for show.

spiderman slowly but surely moving from type A viewer game to type B viewer game

Disco Elysium is the best game of all time, insane that outer worlds won that year

He's never been more right

Outer Worlds kind of great though. Like, not better than STS. But still kind of goated

"I can't imagine being like 'The 19th Spider-Man game.'" What's your game of the year NL? "The 20th Dark Souls game"

You can't let yourself care about the game awards. Just looking at it for too long shows that it's not worth taking seriously. It's a cool show and has nice production but just like every other awards show, it's a joke lmao

I agree honestly. The awards part of the game awards is not the top reason why i watch it. It's 100% the spectacle. As someone who played two games out of every game nominated in all the categories this year and only one of the game of the year nominee's. It doesn't really mean much to me.

Every time he lists more than 2 people he has to throw in tbe Trump "Olivia Munn"

lol ngl he had me until he mispronounced Cherbourg

I mainly like indie games and don't generally like AAA games myself. But 1) no games are akin to a great film, they are a different sort of entertainment and 2) being this dismissive of the best instances of so many game development disciplines (animation, scenario design, integration of narrative, vocal direction and performance capture, etc) is a kind of bizarre take. I won't say it's disrespectful because it's just one dude's opinion, but if I were a semi public figure I would hate the idea of me shitting all over the work of probably the best animators in videogames today and it getting back to them. It's weird because he actually likes Marvel movies (which LACK so many quality examples of the disciplines of filmmaking), yet hates a Marvel game a priori despite it actually being a very accomplished instance of its medium. This is the real make it make sense moment. The Spiderman games are absolutely better than any of the Marvel cinematic universe products.

He really needs to play the outer wilds.

slay the spire was not the goty of 2019

Not that many people like card-building rogue-likes. Really nothing more to it guys!

Slay the spire is the most mid ass bull man

I agree with NL. At the end of the day I don't really care for who wins GOTY because most of the games I play usually don't have the wide appeal AAA games have/go for. It is a nice watch though even if embarrassing at times. Also seeing Josef Fares say "fuck da oscars" is always a plus.

It's almost like what makes a game good can be different from a movie

Finally, a based take from NL

yeah he’s kinda right but NL is the kinda guy to ignore indie games like undertale because they’re also too popular lmao

Does this guy play any games other than cartoon indie games? No flame.
