Hi-Fi Rush so far ahead of Starfield makes me regain hope in mankind.
One's actually new and an improvement while the other is just a 1.5.Cyberpunk 2077 tied with TOTK just blows my mind... CDPR seems to have a captive fanbase.
It's also a much better remake than Resident Evil 4.Dead Space Remake? Seriously that's one of best games of the year.
It's more like the Zelda fanbase has realized what a recycled and disappointing game TOTK is, so they will gladly let CDPR take the spot with an actual DLC that is worth the money and isn't disguised as a full game.Cyberpunk 2077 tied with TOTK just blows my mind...

While I don't think it should have been nominated for GotY, even though it was the number one seller of the year, it should have at least been nominated in one of the various other categories. Most can agree on that, but we know why.Hey would you look at that. hogwarts at 10. I guess it was not a conspiracy after all. Game just cant hang out with the big boys.
Same goes for Starfield. It didnt get nominated NOT because there is an xbox bias. It didnt get nominated because its not good enough for goty.
Also, this destroys alannah's argument that gotys are a popularity contest and only games with big marketing budgets get nominated. Look at all the gaas trash with millions of daily players right at the bottom. BG3 barely had any marketing until it went viral because it was a great fucking rpg. Not because of marketing dollars.
What other categories would you nominate it in? Its definitely not best graphics, best narrative, best acting or best action adventure game.While I don't think it should have been nominated for GotY, even though it was the number one seller of the year, it should have at least been nominated in one of the various other categories.

What were the action/adventure games this year?What other categories would you nominate it in? Its definitely not best graphics, best narrative, best acting or best action adventure game.
maybe best adaptation but thats not a category. Any other year like 2022 or 2021 which were really weak, and it gets nominated. This year plenty of games got higher metacritic scores, some over 90 and were not nominated.
Best Action AdventureWhat were the action/adventure games this year?
correct. as always, 'it all depends on who you ask.'...Weird to see all online games clumped together at bottom.
Kinda invalidates list to me, cause only a certain demographic is voting.
Baldurs Gate 3 is the easiest GOTY pick in a LOOOOONG time and the fact this year was packed with great games........ is a testament to it greatness.BG3 is just fucking incredible.
I hope it sweeps, it is everything people who lament the current state of gaming ask for. And I love seeing how much love it is getting in these kinds of popularity votes despite the more niche genre.
Action/Adventure, its better than Jedi Survivor, based on audience scores and this list.. Definitely Audio design and Score and Music, it did get nominated for a Grammy.What other categories would you nominate it in?

A few heavy hitting titles here and there but overall, meh2023 was awesome.
thats because the audience are idiots. star wars is leagues ahead of this game.Action/Adventure, its better than Jedi Survivor, based on audience scores and this list.. Definitely Audio design and Score and Music, it did get nominated for a Grammy.
My sister is a huge Zelda fan, she played almost every zelda game since a A Link to the Past, including a few remakes and BotW. TotK was the first one in a long time she couldn't bring herself to keep playing.TOTK likely won't win GOTY, which makes me very happy.
As a huge Zelda fan, no game in the past has disappointed me as much as this one.
This doesn't mean anything for Alannah's argument because she wasn't talking about the Players Voice award.Hey would you look at that. hogwarts at 10. I guess it was not a conspiracy after all. Game just cant hang out with the big boys.

How so? For all we know Hogwarts could have been 10th in the critics vote too. We don't know anyone buried it.Even allowing Hogwarts Legacy in this voting was a huge deal since the main awards all tried to bury it. Seeing it make the second round is nice, I wonder if their secret voting black box was even counting every single HL vote lol
Love this comment because it applies to both games.One's actually new and an improvement while the other is just a 1.5.
You're talking only about the GOTY award itself, I would imagine? There's no way Hogwarts Legacy had worse music or art direction than some of those games which were selected for the other awardsThis doesn't mean anything for Alannah's argument because she wasn't talking about the Players Voice award.

The GOTY, art direction and music awards are all based on the critics votes I believe. I don't think we can say with any certainty that everyone who voted for other games in any of those categories intentionally did it to bury Hogwarts.You're talking only about the GOTY award itself, I would imagine?

Fixed.Man, fuck Hi-Fi Rush.
Starfield at 18, just below Honkai: Star Rail.
