      I don't know at this point. BG3 came out swinging hard, but now its seeming like the hype for it is starting to die down (especially here). Now with Spiderman coming out soon and everyone hyping up Phantom Liberty coming out in a few weeks too, they are going to be hogging the attention from now until TGA. Meaning that we look back at the whole year again instead of just "what has the most hype at the moment". If that's the case, it's going to be TotK. but I secretly want Starfield to win so I can see the absolute meltdown Ganker would go through

      • 8 months ago
        Anonymous

        BG3 is still pulling a ton of players for a single player RPG and it's so goddamn long it will continue to pull right up until award season. I also don't think TotK is a game that deserves the award personally, and the talk of the game around here died like in a week except to gloat about units sold. The entire conversation around TotK has actually been incredibly weird. I've never seen a game where the talk shifted to sales so fast and actual talk about the game was essentially abandoned.

        • 8 months ago
          Anonymous

          True about BG3, but that's true of a lot of CRPGs since, while the audience isnt a big as others, it's definitely a dedicate bunch who can even keep OG Baldur's Gate relevant. Same with other popular CRPGs like Pathfinder: WotK. It's a HUGE game for the CRPG genre yes and it did, for a moment, make people look at CRPGs again, but that energy is definitely starting to go back down again to the CRPG and DnD tabletop faithfuls and I attribute that entirely to the gameplay.

          I can still see it winning, but it's not a lock. Not with Tears being touted as a "miracle game" when it came out as well as various other headlines (remember BG3 wasn't the ONLY one with those kinds of articles written about it) and with Spiderman 2 already making people who have "played some of the game" say it's worth buying a PS5 for. For Ganker specifically, it's obviously BG3 or maybe Starfield for the seethe. Outside of Ganker, it's very much open to BG3, Tears, soon to be Spiderman, Phantom Liberty (even though it's DLC, people are still going to go crazy for this), and maybe a nod to FFXVI and Starfield as honorable mentions.

    • 8 months ago
      Anonymous

      Bg3 deserves it but if Tears is picked it'd be because it's a huge AAA Nintendo title that sold over 20 million copies and hits a sweet spot between being extremely accessible, so it on average filters less voters, but has some 'innovative' design aspects to make voters feel validated in voting for it. Tears just seems like a safer pick

      • 8 months ago
        Anonymous

        I wouldn't be mad about Tears though. I get that we're on Ganker where nobody likes TotK, but that really has been my go to game of the games that came out this year. The only other one is Hi Fi Rush, but we all know that doesn't have ANY chance.

    Probably BG3.

        Legitimately this and I'm surprised someone here actually remembers that. TGA showed up when SpikeTV was trying to capture the "young adult male" audience and G4 was shifting to COPS and Cheaters with less and less "video game". TGA showed up with Geoff and it felt like some shit with no real merit other than free advertising for games and to help give SpikeTV real rapport with their target demographic. Geoff didn't even look interested the first years he did it and I doubt he genuinely does now.

        Fast forward to today and it's still a meaningless award given out during hours of free marketing for other games. People don't even watch TGA to see who wins since everyone knows it doesn't mean anything anyway. They watch to see if anything interesting gets announced (like Joker for Smash), which normally doesn't happen.

    Why is everyone here so sure it's going to be BG3 or Tears? Spiderman 2 comes out in October and people including Geoff himself are cumming in their pants all over it. BG3 is a great game, but admittedly that shit isn't for people who don't like CRPGs and the turn based tabletop DnD gameplay it puts out. The majority of the appeal of it is cultural rather than gameplay wise. Spiderman will beat it from attractive gameplay and size of the explorable areas alone.

        Spiderman 2 will absolutely crack 90. Also, if Spiderman 2 does win GOTY all it means is you're going to seethe to a bunch of people online for a few hours (if that) and then wake up the next day and realize how insignificant the award is on anything, including the impact the game has or how much fun the game is to play. It won't magically draw in millions or even thousands new players being a GOTY winner, it won't make it a roundtable or watercooler discussion unless you work in a place where people openly talk about video games (and even then they have to follow it enough to care about awards for it), and it won't validate anyone's thoughts for or against how good the game is. It will be great for companies to slap on to accolades ads and boxart to make it easier for people to assume the game "must be good" if it has "game of the year" tag on it, so for marketers and companies trying to have another lure to make people who don't research anything feel good about making a purchase, this is great. The only longterm "enjoyment" any of us can get from it is a few days of shitposting online to people who don't know who will probably just get tired of seeing it and go do something else.
