Here are the six nominees for 2023 GOTY at The Game Awards, in one of the best years for gaming ever.
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Alan Wake 2
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Super Mario Wonder
- Resident Evil 4
The Game Awards is just a circle jerk for multi-million dollar corporations, isn’t it?
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
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.
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
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.
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
