[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;43110240]But Metro Last Light was really good, why isn't it getting any mentions at least
:([/QUOTE]
The publisher is dead so it couldn't throw money at VGX to get an award
[QUOTE=Fhux;43123294]No? Where in my post do I say anything like that?
I said that a ton of games are relatable due to their characters, but what makes Gone Home more so is its relatable setting, along with the rest.

If you misunderstood the first sentence, the "make it" meant "make Gone Home especially relatable".[/QUOTE]
Just because Gone Home setting is more "real" doesn't mean it's more relatable in fact it's quite the contrary for me, I can't relate to it's setting at all.
On the other hand, just because Torment setting is more "unreal" doesn't make it less relatable.
I can seriously relate more to the Nameless one and it's journey than I can relate to wandering around a place filled with menstruation allegories.

[I]I'm not saying[/I] that you can't find a game more relatable than another, that's all up to each individual, the only thing I'm saying is that obviously a real person will find it easier to relate to the real world rather than a futuristic, medieval or completely different one.
You don't have to find Gone Home relatable. Maybe you didn't grow up in the 90s and as such couldn't relate to the time, or perhaps you can't relate to any of the problems discussed, but you cannot possibly say that another world is more relatable to us than our own. Seriously?

I'm sorry I didn't respond to your question before, but if you want game with relatable settings then you should try Cart Life.
And as a kid who grew up in [I]Sweden[/I] during the 90's I can say that I CAN NOT relate to this setting, since it takes place in the american 90's. The tropes are everywhere and imho it's obvious a cheap nostalgia cash-in in place of real writing.

Actually, that's what you said. Gone Home setting make it a more relatable game. My point is that the setting is familiar, but that doesn't make it relatable.

I'm sorry, but not a single soul ever came to me during a movie and said "HE LIVES IN A HOUSE! I CAN RELATE TO THAT!" or even "HE'S A 90s KID, JUST LIKE US". That's not what people relate in a history. They relate to things like social struggle, loss, search for one true self and so forth.

True words, all the relatability I found in Gone Home was mostly the whole "only 90's kids", otherwise the concepts were foreign to me. Just because it touches LGBT issues doesn't make the story automatically good. I think I have seen tonnes of movies with a similar premise.

I agree. I often see people complaining about how character X is a White Straight Male, when in fact it doesn't change the story for the better if he was a TransGhostFat Black Female. Appealing to your demographic does not change the quality of a work, in fact it may hurt it.
best fighter is injustice

also diggin how both best VA awards are for the two protagonists from last of us
no exaggeration but if someone thinks gone home is goty they should legitimately kill themselves
truth
I don't see call of duty. That's at least good
