Mario Kart World wins Best Game but Donkey Kong Bananza wins Best Gameplay. WTF? What the hell is a "best game" if it doesn't have the "best gameplay"? Especially one that doesn't have a cinematic story or anything like that to judge separate from the mechanics of playing. #gamedev
The classic Kantian*/Aristotelian** virtue debate from moral philosophy, recast in video game contest form! *good person **good at being a person
'Best rule', 'best turn phase'.
But most video games don’t have turns…everything happens in real time & simultaneously. I felt like the two games each won the category more deserving of the other. But after thinking about it more: who cares. They’re both great, both deserve to win either category.
Yeah I was shifting to absurd table top game prize categories.
