HFW deserves it for technical achievement. I started it on PS4 and even there it looked great. I have it on PS5 and it is gorgeous. Not sure it deserves anything for animations or game design.

Now the dust has settled, I think I preferred Forbidden West on the whole. Both were not without issues, and the bar of both is so fucking high but I think I'd lean more towards Aloy personally.

I mean....some people like throw shade at Playstation games...but damn. they are absolutely a beacon of hope in an industry where AAA development feels plagued with shady practices and compromises.

Playing now HFW on PS5 and this game really deserved more awards. Im loving it. It just launched in a bad year cuz Ragnarok does almost everething better. And then thers still Elden Ring.

Good for them. I personally didn't care for either of these and think they're both worse than their predecessors which were some of my favorite games last gen.

BAFTA is the only GOTY that matters if Ragnarok gets this it wins overall

I think it was Elden Ring.

PlayStation always at the forefront of the industry

PlayStation doing the bulk of the heavy lifting.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Sony has some of the best studios in the world. Seeing nominations like this for them on a consistent basis really drives this fact home.

Congrats to the teams at Guerrilla and Santa Monica.

Both games are so damn good

I remember in one of the (ruined) Hellblade 2 threads from a year or 2 ago, I reminded people that Hellblade not only won the most BAFTA awards but also led in nominations in 2017 (over Horizon Zero Dawn and Breath Of The Wild)..and a ton of people (I'm sure more than one of you here) left laugh emojis and/or responded telling me BAFTA didn't mean shit. Lol

My, how times have changed.

Drop the persecution complex.

Your posts:

Empty hype doesnt get you five BAFTA awards (if that matters to you at all).

Yeah, I mean what gamers would want to hear about the BAFTA game awards, right?
And why do developers who win BAFTA awards even acknowledge it as an accolade, anyway?



I bet that sounded funny in your head until you actually did some research and found out that no British dev has ever won 5 BAFTA awards (4 excluding 'best British game' if that makes you feel better) in that many categories since GTA Vice City in 2003.
Oh yeah, you didn't research shit.

Only one person laughed at you (jaysuis) and it was because you swang the Bafta e-penis around out of nowhere when they said there was empty hype for the first game.

BAFTA doesn't mean shit, The Game Awards doesn't mean shit. If anything counts it's the combined awards: https://goty.gamefa.com/year/2022/
But i think only your own opinion counts. If a 73 Metacritic is your GOTY, so be it.
