Am I missing something, because I don't see the Game of the Generation list

 

[Stafford]

Seeing some people argue on Twitter that it's just recency bias for no Hogwarts Legacy.

Douuuuuuubt it.

 

[64gigabyteram]

Very solid games, but Mario is just a slightly lamer version of what Rayman Origins/Legends did 10 years ago

Not really. Rayman Origins doesn't have level design that is as open. It flows better sure but Mario wonder's got more puzzles and gameplay, and in general there are more interactive elements in Mario. I haven't played Legends in a while but that was REALLY good.

I don't know how you could call it slightly lamer, really.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

TOTK also had major performance issues, same for Alan Wake 2.

Is this a joke? I played both of those neither one of those had major performance issues.

Gimme a fucking break trying to compare those to Jedi Survivor.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

It's sad that that's enough for a nominee.
What does SM2 do that innovates the medium, or even stands out?
If Mario shouldn't have been there, SM2 shouldn't be there by the same metric.
The bias and politics on display are crystal clear, on every front.

it must be in the same place as the Best Player Engagement award

Starfield is still a better game than Bloodborne

 

[MMaRsu]

That RPG category is a disgrace, considering so many great RPGs released in 2023.

Star Ocean 2 Remake
Atelier Ryza 3
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed
Octopath Traveler II
Trails to Azure
Trails Into Reverie
Mario RPG Remake
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails
Front Mission 2 Remake
Trinity Trigger
Atelier Marie Remake
Rhapsody Marl Kingdom Chronicles
Baten Kaitos I & 2 Remaster
Dragon Quest The Adventures of Dai
Silent Hope
Dragon Quest Monsters 3

Even if remakes and remasters aren't allowed, there's still enough here that is better than their selections.

Mario RPG hasnt released

 

[H-I-M]

Billions spent buying the entire industry and still no nomination ?

WE LOVE TO SEE IT.

 

[jshackles]

Mario RPG hasnt released

Neither has Dragon Quest Monsters 3 (Dec 1st) - I wasn't sure what the cutoff date was.

Exuse me?

Mario RPG is gonna be AMAZING but its 1:1 remake of the existing game and I also dont agree with RE4R in GOTY category even tho I fucking LOVED the game.

Gimme a fucking break trying to compare those to Jedi Survivor.

TOTK ran at like 15-20 fps most of the time and Alan Wake 2 had ridiculous system requirements.... they're still up there.

Jedi Survivor deserves a spot, if the original game is anything to go by it seems like a great sequel to what was already a great action platformer.

[March Climber]

I made my votes:

 

[64gigabyteram]

Its western centric award show, Japanese Mecha game never had a chance.

ask Japan to make their own, then?

 

[Putonahappyface]

Completely ignoring Hogwarts Legacy is disrespectful to the developers and the fans! Exploring Hogwarts and taking in all the crazy amounts of intricate detail, throughout the world completely immersed me. I'm biased though as I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, but it's definitely my game of the year.

 

[Fbh]

It's about as expected, though I did think they'd at least nominate some indie game just for the sake of it as they do most years

 

[MMaRsu]

Neither has Dragon Quest Monsters 3 (Dec 1st) - I wasn't sure what the cutoff date was.

well 120 outlets voted for the nominees so...

 

[Švejk]

Oh wow. I expected everyone to do a reach-around for TOTK. I hope BG3 does win simply to shut those people up. lololol

Personally, mine is RE4, but we all know it won't win.

 

[Clintizzle]

Starfield is still a better game than Bloodborne

Gran Turismo 7 is better than God of War: Ragnarok.

Am i doing this right?

 

[phant0m]

It's BG3, the only other real contender is TOTK.

If expansions/overhauls counted, CP2077/Phantom Liberty is also worthy of the conversation. It's the best WRPG on the market right now.

 

[Robb]

I'd be very surprised if BG3 doesn't win this. The only game I could see compete with it is Zelda, and now that we have Mario in the mix as well the Nintendo votes will be split between them.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I think Alan Wake 2 has a better shot than TotK.

 

[64gigabyteram]

Gran Turismo 7 is better than God of War: Ragnarok.

no, you're doing it wrong. That's actually true.

 

[Terenty]

Where's Atomic Heart

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Starfield is still a better game than Bloodborne

I concur.

 

[Punished Miku]

Where's Atomic Heart

Should be in best art design for sure, among other games.

 

[Aguero9320]

I don't think Starfield was good enough to make the list... But...

I'd replace either RE4 or Spider-Man 2 with Hogwarts. I don't think either of those games are at the level required to be in this conversation.

 

[Clintizzle]

BG3 is locked for a win. The game allows you to have sex with a bear, which, is unfortunately the type of shit that American game outlets bust their nut over.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Goodbye Volcano had more noms than Starfield.

That should tell you who these awards cater to. I see Woke-man 2 got some noms as well.

Reeeeeeee is proud.

 

[MaKTaiL]

A f**ing Mario game instead of Jedi or FF16 is the true crime of this list.

 

[Klayzer]

This is so embarrassing lmao

@Gavon West

Dude suffers from amnesia regularly, when anything critical of Microsoft is mentioned.

 

[64gigabyteram]

A f**ing Mario game instead of Jedi or FF16 is the true crime of this list.

I mean.... the gameplay's classic. It's survived 40 years.

The developers right now:

(The game did gangbuster sales and is still selling.)

 

[Sanepar]

If they don't give to Baldurs Gate 3 it was robbed.

 

[MaKTaiL]

I mean.... the gameplay's classic. It's survived 40 years.

That's because Nintendo fanboys have nothing else to play.

 

[Alexios]

Almost exclusively PlayStation VR2 games for the VR / AR nominees (why even add the AR part then, none of them are). That's pure bullshit (though most of the games are solid to good), like most of the gaming press VR coverage is of course, as if it's not backed by Zuck or Sony it doesn't exist

Vertigo 2 at least should be on the list, though there are many more deserving than a puzzle game with OPTIONAL, basic VR, a token fps roguelite and a climbing game with some combat, as great as they are for what they are. Maybe its PS VR2 port will be nominated in 24 but it's coming this year.

As above, the PS stan outlet is just looking at this backwards. The coward didn't even reply to me, not that I fished for a reply, I just pointed out the obvious more politely without the BS stuff, but he just "liked" the reply of an idjit telling me lack of exposure is not a problem for games but fiction

 

[adamsapple]

Unless the OP missed some, I don't see volcano high in a single category.

 

[64gigabyteram]

Unless the OP missed some, I don't see volcano high in a single category.

"Games for Impact" which the OP did not include. they missed out on quite a few categories.

 

[Banjo64]

Exactly. My boy gaslighting others into believing nobody hyped Starfield, while he forgets he was posting this a few months before Starfield's release:

How could someone even continue posting after this?

 

[MMaRsu]

Where's Atomic Heart

Snubbed

In art direction alone that should have won

 

[MMaRsu]

Seeing some people argue on Twitter that it's just recency bias for no Hogwarts Legacy.

Douuuuuuubt it.

I've seen journo's on Twitter celebrate the fact that 'terf game' was snubbed at the awards.

 

[Banjo64]

I concur.

Todd's poor face man.

We sold out, but at what cost?

 

[nosoynadie22]

 

[Yoboman]

You guys are missing the point
Starfield is so ahead of the competition that it can't even be considered a 2023 release. It will win GOTY for 2025 maybe even 2026

 

[rofif]

I totally skipped Remnant 2 since I never played the first one.
Can I just paly the 2nd one? It looks interesting
