Why You keep mentioning halo infinite, it doesn't deserve any award
Super Mario RPG is going to get robbed for next year too. It comes out this week.Just realized Chained Echoes got robbed as the November cut off date means it should be elegible for these awards.
Instead the inferior Sea of Star gets the spotlight and even a fake indie like Dave the Diver.
Apparently Lies of P shouldn't be in the RPG category because it's a Souls game not an RPG
Whenever I see Coalteastwood I am reminded of this video. Just watch the first twenty seconds
“AND NOW THE CONSOLE WAR IS OVER”
This simply can’t be real
40 gamerscore is like, played it for 10 mins territory and he was thrashing about blocking people over this game
No it's a pretty mid game, a boring standard PS4 gen open world fareLike.... shouldn't we be more ENRAGED that Hogwarts Legacy is nowhere on that list?
We all know this is reeee influence. It is arguably one of the biggest games of the year and biggest single player game launches EVER.
I absolutely loved it. It looks amazing, runs amazing (40fps quality mode baby), the combat is excellent, the music, the chill factor. The gameplay is just so good.
The characters and side quests are excellent too.
The main story is so-so... no the best. But it was engaging enough unlike Starfield crap story
it's not a perfect game (that's ac6) but Hogwarts is my goty and a game I come back to this year.
While I obviously adore Forspoken, i understands why (very wrongly) it's not on the list. It's a game that only I and Chuck Berry like. Probably Immortals also should be nominated but nobody played it so who knows (maybe art style nomination at least). Maybe there should be some separate award for ambitious games like Immortals or Fospoken. Clearly better than some trash indie stuff that wins something.
But Hogwarts is not this divisive. Hogwarts is just good without any *.
Are we really letting reee politics dictate this? Are we, as a society really so low as to behave like if this huge game never existed?
This is a bad state of affairs. I am thinking about boycotting TGA. They are cowards. Not saying HL deserves a win (although it does in some category personally) but to not even mention it anywhere ? bullshit.
edit: For me personally, Hogwarts got better gameplay than AW2 and even FF16. 10000% better than Starfield too. And no. The game is not good only in the castle. Most of my screenshots are actually outside. Plenty of side quests take place outside. It's very good and what makes it so good is the fact that it' not filled up the brim with bloat in your face. no microtransactions too. Yeah there are Merlin trials but you do few of them and nothing forces you to do all 100. They are not in your face reminding you about them all the time. I am afraid the sequel will overpack the game with needless mechanics. AW2 in contrary, got almost no game there. You pretend to solve the case on a board, you listen to internal monologues, you shoot 10 enemies in 2 hours. All flare, no substance
Ouff.It's him.
What's even more sad is the fact that he predominantly only seems to play xbox exclusive games (when he even bothers to play anything at all):

Shilling is their main engagement. MS loves them their engagement.Ouff.
I expected him to at least play games 1/10 of the time it must have taken to write his wall of text posts but I guess was a bit too optimistic.
I legit thought it was fake. My wordIt's him.

So he spends his time talking about things that he literally has practically 0 first hand knowledge in.
Lunacy is the only word.
proves a theory I’ve long had, the most diehard fanboys spend way more time arguing online (forums, Twitter, etc.) than actually playing gamesIt's him.

But it's nothing like ubisoft games.No it's a pretty mid game, a boring standard PS4 gen open world fare
It sure does look pretty though, and combat is quite fun
Absolutely should be nominated for goty. It almost did Elden Ring numbers and I am sure that if not for the "controversy" the game would be on there. 880k peak and 10k now daily.... just on steam.I have a problem with:
A) Remakes shouldn't count in the best game category, end of story.
B) Dave the Diver being nominated when it's not an indie game, ridiculous and totally amateur hour. Morons running this thing.
C) No mention at all of Hogwarts Legacy,
Ridiculous and loses the whole thing all credibility. I understand it not being nominated for game of the year but NO category at all? What about game direction seeing is a lot of tough decisions had to be made for it being the first Harry Potter open world ever? I don't think it's the best game of all time but it also should have been nominated in "best Art direction" ( Certainly over games like Lies of P FFS)
The above loses the award ceremony credibility in my opinion. You have to get these things right.
How is player count relevant here? The IP is extremely popularAbsolutely should be nominated for goty. It almost did Elden Ring numbers and I am sure that if not for the "controversy" the game would be on there. 880k peak and 10k now daily.... just on steam.
I don't know if it should win. maybe not... but nomination 1000%.
As for remakes, well it depends. i would never nominate something like Demons Souls remake. It's just the same game with new graphics.
but RE4 is a totally new game. Follows the same story and story bits but it's all new and different. Dead Space is very similar to original but modernized too. But it's not a wholly new game
I was not a HP fan. Now I am buying a lego hogwarts castle (wife is getting it for me for Christmas )How is player count relevant here? The IP is extremely popular
Not in such a packed year imo I personally dropped it fast, not a HP fan eitherI was not a HP fan. Now I am buying a lego hogwarts castle (wife is getting it for me for Christmas )
So the brand power didn't work on me. It's just a fine game. Nothing groundbreaking. Just a good time. that deserves a mention
I don't think the year was this packed. We just got few games really. We are choosing from 5-10 games max. not 50Not in such a packed year imo I personally dropped it fast, not a HP fan either
I don't think anybody is saying it IS Game of the year and I don't mind it not being nominated in that category but it's very blatant where it comes down to Art Direction and other categories like that. They would have attracted a LOT less attention if it was just put it in there once in one of the others.You guys are going wild with Hogwarts, it's a good game but goty material? It's quite generic with a decent coat of paint, super streamlined for the general public IMO
Basically this. I personally loved the game but it's a very safe by the numbers type of game. It's certainly not going to win any awards for gameplay mechanics or narrative.You guys are going wild with Hogwarts, it's a good game but goty material? It's quite generic with a decent coat of paint, super streamlined for the general public IMO
By the way, I just realized that even Hi-Fi Rush didn't get nominated either.
That means there is no Xbox game on the list. I was of the belief (and on the record) saying that they will nominate at least one Xbox game, kind of like a participation trophy, but it will be Hi-Fi Rush, not Starfield.
They didn't nominate any Xbox game in the end.
And as of today, only 2 of these 6 games are playable on Xbox.
It isn't strange at all that it isn't GOTY nominated, but it raises an eyebrow that it wasn't nominated for anything.You guys are going wild with Hogwarts, it's a good game but goty material? It's quite generic with a decent coat of paint, super streamlined for the general public IMO
Super Mario RPG is going to get robbed for next year too. It comes out this week.
The more I think about it, the more I realize these game awards are fucking trash in every way
