They never won a GOTY because they are overrated games and they never will win a GOTY.
I'll let you in on a little secret as a journo myself:
The only reason we give those games high scores (I never gave a From game anything below 8) is because we can't afford legions of autistic fanboys like you trying to ruin our image and stigmatizing us as "unskilled" or "casual". We just throw you a bone. We actively avoid giving those games any praise beyond that one contrived review and purposefully elevated rating, as they do not deserve it in the slightest.
They are repetitious and unpolished slog fests with hellish amounts of bugs, trial and error, uncalibrated enemy encounters and telegraphing, annoying music, mostly terrible graphics and, most importantly, bad gameplay. Especially the Souls games are almost devoid of any kind of verticality or compelling level design. And Sekiro's combat is quite literally a parry simulator with bad hitboxes and telegraphing.
You say, "get good!" Why when it isn't fun? Ninja Gaiden, Monster Hunter or Devil May Cry can be difficult, but god knows I'm more compelled to get good at those games than in your flavor-of-the-month parry simulator; 20 FPS and trashy grab animations electric boogaloo.
Every From Software game feels like the air is made of jelly.

then how come BoTW won GOTY?
Landon Barnes
BoTW is the greatest game ever made and pushed the industry forward like nothing else.
Adam Rogers
That's an absolute chonker right there
Kayden Watson
Because it's Zelda?? What more do you need??? Sorry you don't want to spend time exploring a land filled with nothing, collecting 900 pieces of poop, and doing over 120 shrines where only very few were actually interesting. Story? Who needs it? This is zelda we're talkin about.
Jaxon Green
Haha looks like my cat
Joshua Howard
>muh popularity contest awards
Adrian Russell
I actually don't have the patience for souls games but I don't think they are bad. It still takes some effort and skill to design games like that.
Journos are garbage and of course they make money out of sensationalizing literally nothing so they have to blow smoke out of anything they can find
Jace Thompson
They're not relevant user. No game dev or studio with social capital gives a fuck about them.
Parker Fisher
>as a no-talent waste of human life myself Stopped reading there
Anthony Gonzalez
>They never won a GOTY Why do retards act like there is only one GOTY award? There are tons of publications that have them

Hahaha is this one of those "chungus" memes? Hahaha very funny mind if I save it.
Juan Morris
Yeah, all made by me as threads die in 2 minutes on Yea Forums because mods are too d0mb to give this boad more pages.
Josiah Campbell
wtf that bear’s a big guy he should lay off the calories!
Aiden Flores
That's not the reason. The reason is the games are not very good.
I and most journos literally hate playing through them. And we can't criticize them because there would be hell of a backlash. It's crazy.
Because it's a good game? What is your point?
Alexander Hughes
>as a journo So your one of these cucks that can't beat From Software games and cry like little bitches to have an easy mode added?
Eli Brooks
They still barely win any relative to the high scores and often aren't even nominated.
Jeremiah Torres
>people uniornically believe a tiger wouldn't massacre that
Probably even a gorilla.
Jackson Nguyen
what a fat bear haha! : ) thanks for sharing user we appreciate it :D
Thomas Parker
No, I can beat them, I just don't enjoy it. Sekiro's combat is the msot repetitive crap I've ever played and the generic new music in every fight isn't helping.
Optional difficulties are always a good thing, though, at least when you still get rewarded for choosing a higher one, with more money, more bosses, more EXP, bonus levels, bonus skins, anything like that.
And? A game can be good without being GOTY. And GOTY will always be the game that appeals to the most people, whereas From Soft makes niche games. Are you, like, stupid or something?
Josiah Foster
Get good faggot, I bet you defended the cuphead footage too.
Ryder Young
I had some hitboxes issues during my BB playthrough, but never as bad as this one
Luis Nelson
Your threads are low quality and shit mate. Kill yourself immediately.
