The Game Awards is just a circle jerk for multi-million dollar corporations, isn’t it?
Do you have others to suggest for this category?
Dredge, Cocoon, Blasphemous 2, Dave the Diver
3 of those 4 are nominated Best Independent Game. So IDK what you’re talking about, it’s not like they’re not being recognized.
Ok, some good games. But this contest is based on popularity. Smaller games rarely have a chance because they rarely have the audience.
Great games, but none of them are close to the goty games this year.
I played Dredge and watched a friend play Dave the Diver, great games but not goty material in my opinion. No idea about the other two
You forgot Sea of Stars (which bested all your listed games in the Indie category at Golden Joystick).
Dredge was good but not goty in any year. If a small game got goty, I would put Obra Dinn on the list
Sounds like an amazing lineup!
Played or seen most of these and they are all beautiful gems in gaming. We are really blessed this year.
No Starfield?
Lazy fallout/Skyrim reskin that modders will fix over the next 8 years if they’re interested. The only part of this game that was good and new was the shipbuilding, the combat is fun too but to call this the culmination of a 25 year dream is depressing to think about, it’s just fallout if a space mini-game/ fast travel system.
It’s $70 for loading screen and walk around fallout on 500 different planets mod
The funny thing is TotK did vehicle building better than Starfield.
I think in any other year, Starfield might’ve gotten a nod, but this year, there were too many amazing games for one that was as aggressively safe as Starfield seems to have been. It didn’t really do anything new in a year where a lot of devs have been taking risks and hitting it out of the park.
I’ve played all of these minus Zelda. While Spider-Man is my personal game of the year, I voted and say Baulders Gate deserves this. That game is insane and it’s a massive achievement for RPGs. Also, Im not sure how I feel about RE4 being allowed to be nominated for game of the year when technically it’s an old game. Nothing wrong with the game but I feel like maybe for GOTY category they limit it to games that not only released this year, but are but remakes of older games. What are everyone’s thoughts on that?
I think Remakes are New games if they are made to the Level that RE4 is. But i honestly can Not tell you where id mark a line between them or if there even is One. You could argue that every artistic work is already a new version of already existing work, but videogames are unique in the case of how you can litteraly reuse files
Technically and realistically is not an old game. It’s a remake not a remaster, the only thing similar with the old one is the story. Graphics, audio, gameplay are all new. In my opinion remakes should be able to run for goty. (remasters are different though)
Bizarre seeing a game from 2004 on here…
I suppose it makes sense, but it feels odd seeing remakes up for “Game of the Year”
Something tells me Starfield is Not gonna win RPG of the year
That obviously would go to BG3.
Doesn’t mean Starfield is a bad RPG though. Just that BG3 is an almost flawless masterpiece.
Doesn’t mean it’s a bad RPG, but unrelated it is a bad RPG.
You misspelled awful
I’d say maybe BG3 wins it. I haven’t tried Alan Wake though and only seen Spider man gameplay but BG3 seems like the best overall.
Bg3 and Alan wake are both great games, out of all on the list they are the two that stand out to me the most.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is for me and should be game of the year. No one was expecting it to be as great as it is, received hate from some Devs saying it’s unreasonable to make such a good game and has ton of replayability
My personal vote goes to Zelda. It’s the GOAT for me.
I don’t think Mario Wonder should even be a nominee.
says a lot that Starfield even got nominated for Best RPG
