It's gonna be TotK vs Starfield
>TotK
No one invited you tendie, you won't win shit.
You guys are delusional as frick if you think the Breath of The Wild dlc asset flip wont be the one that gets it. The amount of tendietards that circle jerk this dogshit that works at those award shows is ridiculous. GTA 6, Half-Life 3, Starfield could release tomorrow and it would not matter, the asset flip would still get it because it has the nintendo logo on it
The Goy of War asset slip didn't win and neither will the tendie asset flip.
that's because fugging elden ring came out, i don't even have a copy of TOTK but let's be real it's going to win a frick ton of the awards
And you're acting like FFXVI especially after demo and Starfield after that showcase aren't getting insane amount of hype.
nice try homosexuals
Now add ToTK.
it's unfair to compare starfield with xvi. starfield is like 50x times more hype.
not only because of the game itself, but because of modding
>because of modding
do you honestly think that it will be enabled to the degree of making significant changes?
every bethesda game can be modded to frick so yes
holy frick an idiot, I rest my case, bethdrones are true lobotomies
Now add BG3 and look at the 5 year timeframe. Its early access launch in 2020 garnered more interest than any starfield or ffxvi trailer, showcase or demo. People sleeping on it are out of touch on just how popular Larian is with rpg players right now, in large thanks to the vacuum left by absence of any major wrpg release since Witcher 3. I am fairly certain it will beat Starfield on Steam. It has lower spec requirements, lower price tag, fantasy rpgs are more popular than space sims, and it has 4 player co-op with unlinear gameplay, which is perfect content for streamers and youtubers. Starfield comes out a week after BG3 and will look like a game two generations behind in terms of gameplay. It doesn't even look much better graphically, and has significantly worse character models.
>which is perfect content for streamers and youtubers
Problem is the big streamers and youtubers won't play it.
Why not? They played DOS games.
Because it's too complex for them, name one big streamer that you think will play something like BG3.
me
And who are you Mr streamer?
5e was dumbed down precisely so that it could be accessible to normalgays. Lowest difficulty in crpgs is typically so easy that you can just murderhobo your way through the whole game without trying to understand the game's mechanics and nuances.
the ff16 "hype" is literally just marketers
>the ff16 "hype" is literally just marketers
homie casting copega
>starfield only got highly curated gameplay videos and journo opinions
>FF16 had an actual playable demo that's the whole prologue
100%, Nintendo has mindfricked America -- literally has them buying decade old plastic crap for $400 -- and all these shows are in LA.
>literally has them buying decade old plastic crap for $400
As opposed to the PS5 and Xbox? They are also decade old technology with an overhyped SSD for even more money. PS3 was the last console that actually had some cutting edge shit in it.
Not only that but Geoff wants to get on the good side of Nintendo so bad
it would be so funny if he had to choose between sucking off Nintendo or Kojima but i guess Kojimbo would prevail
He was best buddies with Kojima and Sekiro beat Death Stranding.
>any GTA as goty
Gaming is fricking doomed if morons consider any GTA worth it
It will be the same situation as GOW vs ER, people will meme Starfield as the second coming of Skyrim and they won't be able to push in TotK without exposing themselves as clowns.
You are right. There is no hope for this industry.
>Muh asset fliperino
You fricking morons do realise that many of the best games of all time were made by reusing assets from a previous game, right?
Fallout2
Baldur's Gate 2
Majora's Mask
Galaxy 2
New Vegas
FE7 and 8
The list goes on and on. Reusing assets is a good idea, remaking your engine every single game is moronic
Wait was New Vegas seriously game of the year? It was utterly fricking dogshit and broken for the first four months it was out? New Vegas was saved in the patch.
No. It came out during the peak of games having complete auditions being called game of the Year edition if they want even one obscure award. And New Vegas never got that, they just got an ultimate addition
All of those are universally considered inferior to the original
moron
Why did you quote me, only to immediately sign your post?
That was the standard for sequels to original games 20-30 years ago, not for 15th entry in the franchise in 2023. And while it's fine to reuse assets so long as you make new locations, reusing the same exact map and asking $70 for a game that looks and plays like a game from 15 years ago is something only nintendo would have the gall to pull off, and have enough influence over journos to get away with it. Any other major game release that tried pulling this would have been torn apart by journos and gamers alike. It's honestly baffling how much nintendo gets away with.
isn't the sky and underground area new? assuming those combined are equal to the surface area of the reused overworld it should be acceptable then, no?
the islands have only few of new shit to do and then the rest of them are... copy pasted essentially as well, same goes for the depths its literally THE overworld but flipped upside down and just made dark so you're forced to light shit in there constantly.
>isn't the sky and underground area new? assuming those combined are equal to the surface area of the reused overworld it should be acceptable then, no?
they equal it in surface area, but not in variety of content. There are no towns in either map or sidequests in either map. The sky stuff is a few islands copy+pasted over and over while the underground has literally fricking nothing. The "dungeons" are so tiny and short that they barely qualify as dungeons.
With ToTK it's not just "reusing the assets." It's literally the same map with a couple sky islands copy+pasted around and an underworld that's completely empty. I'm fine with asset reuse. It's when you take a long as frick time to develop while barely adding anything new to the map that is kinda shitty.
This. At the end of the day, journos decide the winners, and journos all gave TOTK 10/10s.
Nintendo rarely wins anything at the Dorito awards because it's Sony and Microsoft that pay for the most marketing since the show is just made to sell commercial trailer slots.
they hated jesus because he told them the truth
There is, without any exaggeration, a 0% chance of Starfield receiving a single accolade.
There is, without any exaggeration, a 0% chance of a brain being within this moron's head. Not even worth a (You).
Totk will win sadly but starfield and hi fi rush deserve it way more
TotK vs ff16
This.
>XVI
Final Fantasy is like the Sims - a diehard fanbase that doesn't realize how uninspired and shallow their games are.
>BG3
Not normie enough to be on radar - it's not an IP that easily attracts new meat and most won't be able to chime in whether this is a 6/10 or 10/10 game.
>Starfield
I don't understand how people can have such high hopes for this game knowing it's fricking Bethesda. Like how dense and fricked is your memory to not remember how fricked 76 was for literally it's first entire year after release and how fricked fallout 4 was for months.
bethesda drones are insane tier on equal level as tendies.
I don't understand how people can have such high hopes for this game knowing it's fricking Square. Like how dense and fricked is your memory to not remember how fricked XIV was for literally it's first entire year after release and how fricked XV was for months.
Fallout and Elder Scrolls are both in 'milk the cash cow' mode.
Have been for a long time - they're just tech demos with established lore slapped on to ship them.
You're potato-brained if you don't recognize that Starfield will be discussed positively for the next 20 years.
Facts. And you can bet Microshit are greasing palms to make sure Starfield wins because they need it to become a flagship series.
pic won't win but it's the only game that actually deserves to
TotK will be the only game to release in an even vaguely playable state this year.
ahem RE4make? the actual video game and not movie sandbox simulator?
>RE4make
remakes don't win anything and neither should they, make a new game you useless fricks
it is a new game
it has more new and unique stuff than TotK in its 6 years, let that sink in
I wouldn't know, I don't play remakes, make a new game or frick off.
they did tendie but your nintendo failed at making a new game though, embarrassing.
i accept your concession
>years
Ah yes ruining garrador, the regenerators, the entirity of island and making the game subpar in comparison with the original is so much better
>remakes don't win anything
exactly why totk shouldn't win lol
kek
Yes and? I'm not a fricking tendie
precisely
TOTK ISN'T A REMAKE YOU DUMB FRICK NUGGET! IT'S A SEQUEL TO BOTW WHICH IS A RE-IMAGINE OF THE ZELDA FRANCHISE NOT A REMAKE DUMBFRICK
Have you tried playing other games?
tendies do not play vidya
>Who will win?
who cares
its a 90% journalist vote
Eh BG3 is like 8/10 at best. FFXVI looks good but sadly i have only PC.
>FFXVI looks good but sadly i have only PC
same i fricking wish it would release asap but then again i want the port to be decent too so eh
i wouldn't be able to run it anyway GPU wise at the moment
Another easy win for Zelda. Try not to cry too much when it happens (again).
how is it going over there inside your echo chamber manchild?
>FFXVI
LMAO
>Baldur's Gate 3.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Not even the hypersnoy dewritopope can get away with not making botw2 and starfield duke it out.
>LMAO
do you realize how hard the demo is killing it right now
Yeah it's going to win the demo of the year.
I remember everyone clamoring for Episode Duscae as well.
>I remember everyone clamoring for Episode Duscae
I don't. It was nothing special, and shit kept getting worse.
*shilling it
Also I bet if I was to look up your image here, berry, then I would get a list of over 20 pages of you samming this shit for months.
>shill
the biggest cope buzzword around
i hope if nothing else atleast it will win the best soundtrack category.
Why? The only good track in the demo is during phoenix vs. ifrit, everything else us unmemorable. Idk what's with schizos sucking off Spoken when his music is barely memorable compared to other composers who have worked on final fantasy.
maybe but compared to other games released this year it has objectively the best soundtrack, two games that might come close are AC6 and the RE4make other than that nothing.

they basically just added an option FFXV mode
If some dude was able to clear ER despite being disabled, I fail to see how this an absolute necessity, especially when disabled say themselves that they can adapt to the gameplay.
>some dude was able to clear ER despite being disabled
What about other disabled dudes. What if Tyrone wants to play the hot new FF game but he only had 1 hand for the controller while his other hand is preoccupied with fingering stacy.
you mean ff14 mode
>you mean ff14 mode
I can bet you haven't beaten a single savage raid in ff14.
Wait, are you telling me you have to press buttons to play the game?
It’s Square and Triangle. L2 cycles thru the functions of Triangle and Circle. Holding R2 changes Square and Triangle to special moves depending on what you picked with L2. L3 and R3 are also a special move.
QTE are main story related, one button actions are journalist accessories. FF has always been corny, are you living under a rock?
You're literally grasping at straws to convince people about something that no one fricking cares about except for you morons. This game could crash and burn, but you would still be moronic at the end of the day.
>one button combo combat
Didn't play the demo, how it works?
the video that broke Ganker
I was in those threads kek
link it
memes aside that demo was great
went from game of thrones to evangelion real fast and the music and combat are stellar
the demo really is top tier
Why keep shilling your article in multiple threads Rob?
what isn't shilling to you morons
I like XVI lad, just seems odd you'd post this one opinion piece so frequently. Makes me think you're the author himself trying to get clicks.

It's been in every XVI thread I've been in.

Cope, totk is winning goty. No one cares about your westslop
Did you read the thread? No tendies homosexual
Why are you comparing games that aren't out yet? No one's argument can have any basis.
Knowing the industry it'll be Starfield vs Zelda and it doesn't even matter if they're good games or not.
Street Fighter 6 deserves it though.
>No one's argument can have any basis.
You can already tell what the strengths and weaknesses of each game are.
>a fricking demo pushing PS5s

I’m keeping this thread in mind just in case TOTK sweeps
FFXVI's protag is a jobber
FRICK OFF BARNABAS
Getting some cool Vergil 1 vibes from this, i am expecting kino
KINO DROPS IN 5 DAYS
The time of release will play a large role in winning GOTY.
People have been playing Totk all year and will be old news while Starfield is going to be fresh and new to them. Thus Starfield will have the better impression during the game awards shows.
I really hope for Starfield and FF16 to be good even though Final Fantasy is a sequel. I'm tired of remakes and copy pasted assets flip games marketed as new games.
>I'm tired of copy pasted assets flip games

Elden Ring came out in February.
yeah but also had hype behind never seen before for years and 2022 also did not have many of games that could match ER's quality.
I never would've considered FFXVI before the demo, but now it's up there.
>dogposter samegayging again
jesus
its impressive how almost every Black person with dog posts ends up being the most moronic guy in the thread
Tears of the Kingdom and Starfield are the only actual competitors for GotY in 2023.
It's 100% up to Starfield to win this. As it is, Tears of the Kingdom is going to win. If it's actually the pure space kino game we always dreamed of, it might just beat Tears of the Kingdom. But there are no other competitors.
DLC asset flip isn't gonna win this time, people will forget about by the time the awards will come, so its only between RE4make and FFXVI
Starfield is too much of a samey Fallout like too.
This, the whole
>Cope
>Seethe
Bullshit the other posters are on is asinine. Starfield does have a good chance to unseat TOTK from game of the year but it is not a surefire thing at all. I would not put money on either of them but I will put money on the fact that no other game has a chance.
I think Starfield will live and die on the "Step-out moments" that Bethesda loves. The moment when you leave the vault in fallout 3 for example. If Starfield can land a few moments like that they will take the crown.
Yeah, if there was actually a means of gambling on GotY the smart move is to put 60% of your money on TotK, and then 40% on Starfield. Starfield might just fricking do it but I am so damn doubtful of a Bethesda game on consoles not having a million problems that will affect it's review scores. Tears of the Kingdom literally just had the dupe glitches that got patched out and otherwise runs flawlessly on a fricking tablet.
>60% of your money on TotK, and then 40% on Starfield.
This is about how I feel. At the moment it looks like Totk will just about win but Starfield could pull an upset.
>Baldur's Gate 3
Are you fricking drunk? No way this trash could beat AAA.
Not to mention that it could only win the award for best troony game at the porn awards in any case.
It’s either TOTK or Starfield, chud. My bet is on Starfield if they don’t frick up the launch and is relatively bug free
>if they don’t frick up the launch and is relatively bug fre
kek then it already lost
people really over exaggerate the XVI demo
nah it's fricking excellent
Ganker is just coping as usual

Yikes dawg.
>best cope line he could come up with was yikes dog

It's fanboys. The same response was guaranteed no matter how the demo was. Also, the demo was rather poor and I will laugh at all the people who get tricked into the game.
>the demo was rather poor

sir please do not lie fricking b***h guy
On Ganker the XVI fanbase legitmately lost to fricking Barry. They'd never admit it but he clearly poisoned the well so much that they treat any sort of criticism of the game (and especially the team behind it) with deranged suspicion and aggression.

Balders Gate and Final fantasy are games.
Tears of the Kingdom and Starfield are Games.
I don't make the rules, it is what it is.
All the normies I know talked about Totk a ton and love the game.
And all of them are now talking and are very excited about Starfield.
It's obvious that the GOTY will be Starfield VS Totk.
>All the normies I know talked about Totk a ton and love the game.
I have never met a single person IRL that talked about tendie games outside of mario cart past the age of 10, what world do you manchildren live in? lmao
I live in an American city. Most women and manchildren into surface level nerdy subcultures love Nintendo. A majority of the girls I've dated were Nintendo thots. They're everywhere.
imagine thinking a bugthesda game with gunplay that bad would win anything
it's popularity contest at the end of the day. XVI is miniscule in the public conscious in comparison to totk and starfield.
>Final Fantasy
>miniscule
yeah hate to break it to you bud, series has a fraction of the relevance it used to. Monster Hunter is a bigger rpg franchise now. FromSoft's logo on any trailer gets normies screaming in hype no matter what the game is. FF only has the memory of VII keeping it alive now.
>XVI is miniscule in the public conscious in comparison to totk and starfield.
Yeah just like Sekiro and Elden Ring were right? moron.
>one of the most famous franchises ever
Yea, man, never heard of FF.
>gunplay that bad would win anything
Poor bait, the gunplay looked fricking amazing during the direct. Literally better than most FPS shooters
>the gunplay looked fricking amazing during the direct.
>Literally better than most FPS shooters
You can just admit you didn't watch the direct tendie.
>tendie
huh? how did i become tendie? i fricking hate nintendo games and its cult but god the starfield's gameplay was such an utter shit you can't be serious in praising it, it was on the level of bad like TotK and BotW combat.
it looked fricking terrible wtf is wrong with you
You didn't watch it. Nice bait though.
I LITERALLY SUFFERED THROUGH THE WHOLE DIRECT YOU STUPID SHITSKIN Black person PAJEET
ahem
have a nice day
No you didn't, nice try tendie.
>tendie
weak psy op
TotK is garbage btw just as BotW every Black person praising those games should get castrated just like you
Zelda 'Gamers'
Homie Starfield is my most hype game and the gunplay is just barely acceptable. I personally don't mind because I wouldn't play an RPG for pewpew in the first place.
The gunplay is obviously not going to be the selling point of Starfield, like how it wasn't for the Fallout games either
It looks amazing, name a single flaw. You can't because there wasn't any.
shit engine
shit gunplay
shit dialogues
shit writing
shit exploration quality
shit quests
tons of bugs
you just described xvi
>rent free in his head

I told you to name a flaw in the gunplay homosexual.
there is no QTE to reload or ADSing
Not a flaw
I don't care about comparisons, describe what about the gunplay that you saw was bad homosexual
bad gunplay simple as
even fricking COD from 2001 has better shooting
>bad gunplay simple as
>even fricking COD from 2001 has better shooting
If any anons wanted proof that the gunplay is excellent, this is it, this baiting fricker literally cannot find a single flaw.
>bait
i bet your ass believes Fallout 4 has the best gunplay out of FPS genre
We're not talking about Fallout 4 you baiting Black person, we're talking about Starfield.
ok so you're just moron with awfuly shit taste
>Still can't name a flaw in the gunplay
I accept your concession.
i named several but you're cultist
its poor man's bordelands gunplay and even that was shit to begin with
it looked like shit just like FO4
the only cool thing was ship customization
The gameplay looked dated as frick. Most shooters from 20 years ago look way more fun that shit
can you post an example?
COD 3 and 4
Battlefield Bad Company
Half Life games
Halo 2

Resistance: Fall of Man
Bioshock

It's just the best game of the year, simple as.

It's Bethesda's game to loose. If they frick up Totk takes the award. The first hour of Starfield had better be fricking good to rope in the normies hard.

sadly yeah
I know it's not entirely within the scope of this thread, but fighting game of the year should be brutal. You have street fighter, Tekken, and even Mortal Kombat which is always huge among that crowd.
Tekken 8 may not even drop this year man. Or possibly too late for TGA. but yeah Street Fighter 6 is winning that fight if Tekken doesn't drop.
I wouldn't be 100% on that. Award voters and casual players have most of the influence here and they don't care about gameplay to the extent that FGC people do. MK1 has a real shot to take that award
TotK
The thing is TGA specifically are also motivated to showcase the most *spectacular* game of the year, and a 720p 30fps handheld game just ain't that.
>he says, not remembering that a 720p 30fps handheld won TGA GOTY in 2017
I hope you just have explosive amnesia, otherwise you need to be 18 to post here.
>nothing has changed in 6 years
It really does feel like people have just buried the critique of video games feeling like movies and now only want video games to feel like movies. People were so amazed by the FFXVI demo ending which is literally just one button for 5 minutes.
>movie movie movie games LMAO!
you're the same kind of moron who said RE4make was a movie game because it contained cutscenes and story.
No, I said FFXVI demo was a movie because the ending was one button for 5 minutes. If you can't address that, don't bring up something else.
>the ending was one button for 5 minutes. If you can't address that, don't bring up something else.
It was 4 buttons, what now moron?
It wasn't 4 buttons
wait for reviews. the demo thing is mostly streamer hype reacting to joshua being brutally killed. when the game is actually examined critically, it's a movie game with serviceable combat and cringey dialogue. But the Game of Thrones crowd might like it.
It's a Bethesda game. Normies will love it. For one I'd actually really like it if Xbox won a game of the Year, they're the most consumer friendly company (gamepass, all games come to pc/steam day one, backwards compatibility, multiple consoles and price points) and it would be nice to put Sony and Nintendo in their place for a minute.
Accessibility options are bad actually. God made you disabled for a reason and trying to ease that struggle will distance yourself from his light.
I genuinely believe FFXVI has a real chance to win GOTY or atleast be very close to it and i don't even own a PS since 3, just a guy waiting for the PC port so i can die happy then.
>I genuinely believe FFXVI has a real chance to win GOTY
Don't discount it. They were way too confident at that pre-launch event. Like, the-reviews-are-in-and-we-got-10s-from-everyone confident. Smug.
Am I the only one completely underwhelmed by the FF16 demo? It's just the next in a line of samey ARPG moviegames. The voice acting seemed decent from what I heard at least
I think its fun to watch but its astounding how all these people who were supposedly anti-"cinematic experience" games loved it because it was the cinematic experience they actually liked
It will be 2015 all over again
Just like FO4, Starfield will be a buggy mess and Todd will be exposed as having lied as usual
FFXVI will pull a The Witcher 3 and win GOTY
Screencap this
no more denial
this will be goty
>Baldur's Gate 3
You have to be kidding right OP?
Yeah I just put it in there because I was mildly interested in playing it when it released since I've heard good things about it.
BG3 will be a CP2077 tier tortanic release and I say this as someone who likes it and is looking forward to it
Guys, don't delude yourselves. It's gonna be either Starfield or TOTK. The game awards are just a popularity contest, nothing more. I would love for Pizza Tower or Armored Core 6 to take the awards, but it's not gonna happen. The sooner you come to terms with this, the better.
>The game awards are just a popularity contest,
Most o the time it is just sony buying the spot lmao. Or are youd elusional enough to think that tlou2 was more popular and year defining than fricking animalc rossing and even among us?
Sony does love throwing money and bribes around, but at some point even that can't save them. Remember how Elden Ring sweeped the awards last year? And I believe it was up against one of sony's golden children, God of Soi.
Re4
It'll be TotK or AC6 almost certainly.
yeah zoomies and millenial manchildren will propably vote TikTok because muh funny xDD clips
>snoy and xkek still think their shitty game can win over zelda
Lol no game release this years that can put on a challenge again zelda
your game aimed towards literal kids 12 years old ain't exactly hard to beat were it for Nintendo brand loyalty
Snoy cope thread?
Screencapped lmao, cant wait to see how pissed you are when 2015 hardware has the best game of 2023 lmaoooo stay mad die mad
Stay mad and keep shitting your diaper tendie, no one cares about your game made for toddlers.
You're fricking deluded if you think Baldur's Gate or FFXVI are even going to be nominated.
RE4make
Hi-Fi Rush
Totk
Spiderman 2
Starfield
These are your GOTY nominations.
if something shitty as hifi rush and Spiderpozz 2 can be GOYTY nominees then FFXVI definitely can as well.
>FFXVI definitely can as well.
It needs to run with more than 30 fps, first and foremost
so TotK and Starfield are also out of the game then?
I don’t know what’s winning I just know that cringefield is losing.
Todd already has 3 GOTY titles, none of these other games really have a shot at beating Starfield if it is polished which it appears to be
>all those cringe homosexual Black person games for Black person homosexuals
True Chads know the best game of the year is Hi-Fi Rush and TGA winner is just the most popular normalgay slop
why are people saying games that aren't even out yet
Nobody wins they all suck and so does the game awards
Starfield will win simply because it's the closest released to the awards.
Larian doesn't have the money to pay off TGA for BG3 to win, unless Hasbro decides to put out. If backroom politics and deals wasn't a factor, I'd say it would easily win GOTY and I expect it to be the best rated and user scored major release of the year, as well as one of the best selling, but I am fairly certain the Geoff already made a deal with Nintendo for Zelda to win. Nintendo hasn't had a big win in years and Switch won't get another major release like this anymore, so TGA has to throw a bone to them, and nintendo fanboys as well, to keep them tuning in.
Starfield I expect is going to be a major disappointment and the hype over it will die as quickly as it did with Hogwarts Legacy after its release (remember that game?).
Starfield.
All awards, every category.
What about the harry potter game? I thought it was a massive seller and the entire normalgay world loved it? It's that going to be GOTY instead?
1. Fallout 4 space mod
2. Breath of the Wild patch 1.5
3. Diablo 3: 2
4. Ubisoft open world #2,103 Spiderman edition
5. Devil May Final Fantasy
Will GOTY have anymore nominees?
Starfield of ToTK. Baldurs gate is turn based so its immediately garbage. And no one except weeb homosexuals care about FF.
Final Fantasy XVI can be the first fully mainstream Final Fantasy game.
I can clearly see a future where it becomes a normie meme that says "It's Game of Thrones, but a video game!!!" and every gamer gurl, troony and normalgay is going to buy it and it becomes GOTY if it is good enough and has a good marketing push.
BG3 is most likely going to be the actual best game released in 2023 but it doesn't have enough mainstream appeal.
ToTK isn't going to win simply by default of it being a direct sequel to BoTW and sequels never win the game awards.
>sequels never win the game awards.
TLOU2 anon?
it's gonna be a neck-in-neck race for the win between FF16 and AC6. i can see it already.
who gives a shit
>WASD vs WASD vs Mouse Click
Bruh
>TGA aka the journo award
TOTK is winning easily, FF16 is racist and Starfield will come out buggy
Fewest bugs yet!
>FF16 is racist
eh the demo blew people away that much to where they really don't care there isn't that many non-whites in the game.
lmfao. no it didn't
Nah, FF16 won't win and afterwards you'll see a journo posting a very cynical article about how FF16 would've won if it wasn't racist
And if it wins anything by any chance, the same article will say it’s because it’s a racist game, like all the industry.
Leave it to Godd.
PC is fricking dead lmao
>CS2
Still the highest rated game of the year outside ToK. Frick off trying to discredit it. It will outsell FF and Baldurs gate too.
BG3 does not have enough broad appeal, it's a turn-based WRPG.
I think XVI has a chance if it turns out great, and would be nice to see the team rewarded but chances are it's going to the Zelda BOTW DLC.
Anyone who thinks it won't be TOTK is coping
The entire industry is so far up Nintendo's ass when it comes to Zelda
Rockstar has just as much clout, if not more than Nintendo and they didn't win GotY.
Idk anon, FF series has sold more than Zelda. Could be close
Black person, your game will be lucky to be nominated. It's not even getting better reviews than RE4 and SF6.
Reviews? All I see is people saying the demo is amazing. There are no reviews I can find on the final game yet
Yeah, I'm telling you it won't be higher than RE4 and SF6.
The only way BG3 would even be a nominee and TOTK wouldn't is if OP was talking about best RPG award. And Starfield would still win that.
GOTY will be TOTK or Starfield, anything else is just a meme nominee.
implying the 2 contenders you just named aren't the actual meme nominees
Don't care they're all shit games and award shows are just israeli money laundering schemes that take advantage of ego strokers
Starfield will get heavily penalized by journos for being 30fps Microsoft game and will probably have lots of bugs on release so I expect 85 to 89 on metacritic. FF XVI is already hated by all of US woke scene, journos, discord and twitter trannies and other shitty gated woke communities for YoshiP based "no Black folk allowed" approach so doubt it will get more than 85 even if it somehow objectively does end up in 95 space of TOTK. Petty american culture war bullshit will not allow it to win goty. BG3 is too niche to win goty, sorry nerds. Only other game that might be able to challenge TOTK could be Fires of Rubicon but it's much less ambitions title than ER so i expect it will get 91 on metacritic at best.
So RE4 deserves it then. It potentially winning seems to cause the most seething too.
>remake
nope, not gonna happen.
RE2 was inches away from winning in 2019. This has higher praise than that.
It needs a big update at the end of the year. Sperate ways expansion, launch the VR and more mercs content before the award show.
this just release the DLC in october or so and they'll be set
>BG3 is too niche to win goty, sorry nerds.
The early access already sold millions. Most people are avoiding bg3 spoilers and waiting for the release. Divinity Original Sin 2 peaked at something like 3k players when its EA launched and then had 95k on release. BG3 had 50k players on its EA launch. It's going to be one of the biggest steam releases of all time. 500k easily. People thinking it's niche are completely out of touch because they mistake the fake numbers and aggressive shilling from multi billion corporation marketing campaigns for genuine interest.
are the console number also this high? these rpg titles are very PC centric while geoff goty awards are not. here's the list of all previous winners:
Dragon Age: Inquisition
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Overwatch
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
God of War
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
The Last of Us Part II
It Takes Two
Elden Ring
only dragon age and overwatch are somewhat PC centric but there can also be surprises like it takes two. in general games like divinity os2, disco elysium, stardew valley, vampire survivors, signalis don't even get a goty nomination.
Armored Core 6
It's going to be FF XVI. They deliberately made it to get the Game of Thrones audience and there's nothing that could compete with GOT's popularity.
>Tendies aren't welcome to this discussion, TOTK won't win shit lmao
Why are you Snoys always so insecure?
>Names 2 Xbox and pc exclusives, latches onto the one PS5 one.
Why are tendies like this?
TOTK
TotK isn't even in the same stratosphere of popularity as Elden Ring, it won't even get close to winning GOTY.
people sleeping on D4
D4 isn't even close to Elden Ring either, check the 5 year comparison. None of the games released so far this year are GOTY contenders.
what? both totk and d4 had huge releases
And neither of them were even close to as big as Elden Ring's so they clearly aren't GOTY level you braindead Black person, what's so hard to understand?
Do you ever think as to why so many people google Elden ring?
>Where is X weapon/armor
>Where is X upgrade
>How to get X ending
If you don't understand how terms work then shut the frick up Black person.
ER had a lot of hype built around it from covid days when everyone was stuck in house
Games with as much hype and interest as ER and CP2077 are very rare and shouldn't be compared to.
>Lol no chance TotK wins
Look that game is garbage but the fact you're dumb enough to not realize the normies and journos are gobbling it up makes you sound like a delusional snoy, it's locked on as a GotY contender already, it all depends on how Starfield does now
THEY TOOK DOWN THE VIDEO EXPOSING THE FPS ISSUES
OH NO NO NO NO NO
It all depends on how Starfield will be received, if it can get like 80% of what Elden Ring did last year it's guaranteed GOTY.
""NEW"" IPs are always frontrunners unless there truly isn't anything else competitor worthy in the year.
80% of what?
Bethesda releases one game a decade, it'll either be starfield or tendies
If FF won....that would be amazing. A comeback for a historic series.
>thinking starfield will win
>Tom and his shit company is making it
>game isn’t even out yet
>30FPS
I know you guys are moronic but holy shit KEK
>Baldur's Gate 3
Lmao. Starfield is a shoe-in if it works as promised, but Tears of the Kingdom is very obviously second place and you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.
Out of all those games, only FFXVI has a Demo and it an 'original' game.
The rest will have Denuvo and trash performance.
Starfield = shit copy of NMS with 10% of the content.
Baldur's Gate = reskin of Divinity 2.
Baldur's Gate does not have Denuvo. Starfield also doesn't currently list it on the Steam page, although it could be added later.
>Baldur's Gate = reskin of Divinity 2.
So I guess you never played it then.
what is a tendie or a snoy?
a nintendo loving manchild and sony loving manchild respectively
Your a fool if you think any game apart from Zelda or Starfield is winning Geoff GOTY award. I dont even like modern Zelda or bethesda games.
>goty
>games aren't even out
FRICK YOU
2023 is quite a loaded year
>Starfield
Todds games are never good without mods. It will take at least 5 years for modders to fill planets with meaningful content.
>FF
When did they even made a good game last time? It's always a mess with hours of cinematics and shitty anime plot.
>Totk
I liked it, but they reused way too much stuff. Dungeons too small, everything too simple to be engaged.
>jedi survivor
Way too generic and unoriginal
>diablo 4
ARPG with autoleveling, lmao
>lies of P
Too much of a bloodborne copycat
>BG3
Probably a great game, todds radiant quest garbage without choices will lose at least the rpg award to it. Sadly a bit too niche for goty award.
>AC6
Now the real contender. From is the gameplay king. Everyone will love it, because gameplay already looks fun. They've got goty with sekiro and ER, they will likely do it with AC6
People thinking XVI will be game of the year are on something. If Starfield is only 2/3rds what Bethesda says it is, no one is beating it.
2/3rds of a turd is still a turd.
And if it isn’t a turd?
There is zero chance that it won't be. None whatsoever. Putting aside that it's a modern Bethesda game and will have all the problems associated with that, what are you going to do in it that you haven't done in NMS, Star Citizen, Outer Worlds and the like? Graphics look shit, aesthetics are shit (though I do like the 80-90s movie spaceship interior), gameplay looks shit, charactet models are complete dogshit, the worlds look shit. Honestly, what exactly are you looking forward? The riveting bethesda storytelling?
A space RPG.
It isn't hard.
Star Citizen is a broken mess, NMS has no roleplaying, Out Worlds is way smaller in scale.
Your criticism of the game is largely superficial or leans too heavily on the idea of bethesda fricking up, which they may.
Mass Effect is a space rpg. Starfield is space sim with rpg elements tacked on.
Starfield is a Space RPG with sim elements. What sim elements Starfield has is very basic and not the main draw. From what I've seen, you can't just ignore the story for the bit and frick off to start a career hauling junk or fighting pirates like in some previous space sims.
>Graphics look shit, aesthetics are shit, gameplay looks shit, charactet models are complete dogshit, the worlds look shit.
You just described TOTK.
Godd Howard will win yet again. Starfield is his magnum opus.
Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection.
Starfield looks the most promising to me personally but I also know it's Bethesda so odds are as much as I'll like it, it won't live up GOTY
Starfield easily. XVI looks like DMC slop not real Final Fantasy.
Do people actually care about this garbage? It was a joke since it's conception.
>CISuisition was the first winner
How could anything other than Zelda or Starfield win Geoff of the year award? RE4 is a remake so they wont want that to win. It will probably get a nomination though. Hogwarts is too problematic or some shit. Jedi Survivor was too broken at launch. Armored Core 6 will be too niche compared to Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Spider-Man 2 will get nominated but wont win just like the 1sr game. Maybe FF16 will get nominated but it wont win either. Diablo 4 wont win due to blizzard being problematic or some shit. I dunno I dont play loot shit or mmo shit but I heard the media dont like blizzard. So its obvious it will be either Zelda or Starfield that wins.
>Overall GOTY: TOTK
>Music: FF16
>Action: FF16 or AC6
>RPG: BG3 or Starfield
I am not sure what categories they have, but what the frick else will TOTK even win besides overall GOTY? It seems like a year poised to lose all categories but win the big one. If they have an "Adventure" category TOTK would win that, but it might compete with Starfield.
>Music: FF16
I'm sad because this won't happen. XBC3 and ER losing to GoW Ragnarok proves how rigged it is.
ER didn't have the strongest soundtrack let's be real now. Sure some tracks were cool but none were really memorable like Bloodborne's.
BB doesn't have a single memorable track.
Wrong.
the menu theme in ER was better than anything in GoW Ragnarok's OST imo
While I do like the theme it wasn't even close to real FROM kino like DS3's menu theme.
im just saying GoW's music is beyond forgettable
Well I'll just believe you because I didn't play that shit. But also I'm coming to realise how important the soundtrack is to a game's success. I swear half of the FFXVI's demo hype is coming from the OST during the Ifrit vs Phoenix fight.
i feel the hype comes from the evangelion moment at the end of the prologue demo
i like that the demo is a 2 parter - i still go back n ply the second combat demo every now and then
>what the frick else will TOTK even win besides overall GOTY?
Read the OP tendie
>TOTK won't win shit lmao
So this the delusional "we cope we won't win GOTY" thread?
>zelda seethe thread #829492
But I love OOT and MM. They are are my favourite video games. BOTW and TOTK are crap though.
Better question. What will be the obligatory indie game that gets nominated for GOTY at the Geoff awards?
Baldur's Gate 3 ofc.
What?
Is that really an indie game though
Yes, that's why it got released in early access, they need the funds to make it.
Larian studios is literally an indie studio.
>Starfield vs FFXVI vs Baldur's Gate 3
Just picture CP2077 phantom liberty being absolutely mind-blowing and outstanding, featuring an incredibly mature story, top-tier Hollywood performances, and establishing unprecedented benchmarks for open-world action RPGs that effortlessly shits all over the three examples you mentioned and wins GOTY.
DLC don't win GOTY.
>30 hours of highly repalayable gameplay
>frickhuge new areas to explore
>dlc
cope, seethe and dilate
It's literally marketed as DLC? Also if Blood and Wine for W3 which is quite possible one of the best DLC of all time didn't win GOTY then neither will Phantom Liberty.
B&W was amazing I agree.
It did win best RPG though so that will be Phantom Liberty's ceiling, but I can't see it win that over Starfield either.
Hifi rush if the game awards are actually about the best video game
DiabLo 4
>FFXVI
Who keeps pushing this shit? No one but modern MMOgays care about this shit. Its going to be Starfield, Armorer Core VI especially after confirming they're following more Souls like movement and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
>Armorer Core VI especially after confirming they're following more Souls like movement
Yeah, normies will flock to "super hard" Mecha game made by the Elden Ring devs cause From cultivated a mainstream audience. Cope all you want.
then they'll realize there has never been a good ac game and there never will be
>No one but modern MMOgays care about this shit
like this guy who doesn't play the mmo along with all the other big names like ludwig who loved the demo? shit is pushing consoles which is insane.
just watching the totk hate/seethe/roleplay in this thread, i now genuinely want to see it win, JUST to watch the Ganker meltdown.
Whats even is this push of FFXVI on Ganker. It feels horribly artificial and the threads are some of the worst the board has to offer right now. I can't even remember the last game that had so much schizo posting like the XVI threads do. Every thread is people screaming Barry or posting moronic images. Hell I don't remember the Elden Ring threads being that bad.
>Hell I don't remember the Elden Ring threads being that bad
dude, you weren't there lmao
Barry or bazztek or whatever his name is, is a known final fantasy shitposter and he was caught using bots to shit up every thread relating to 14 and 16 for like a straight year. He just got banned and there were over 300 different posts from about an hour spread that he was directly responsible for, if that helps put it in perspective.
Fromdrones are obnoxious but ER threads were genuine. FFXVI threads scream shills coupled with the extremely good reception of the demo by ecelebs followed by absolutely everyone forgetting the game the next day. People wouldn't shut the frick up about ER network test for a while be it normies or ecelebs even after not being paid to shill it (at all or anymore).
keep in mind ER came during the period we all were starved for even a remotely good game. I think ER wouldn't be so huge if it was released during this year.
Dead Space and RE4 should be disqualified imho cause really at most they just touch up the game.
WHICH LEAVES:
>Queers of the Kingdom
>Final Fantasy XVI
>Hi-Fi Rush (They always do a surprise nomination here like Hades or Celeste)
>Alan Wake II (in honor of Geoff's personal friend Sam Lake)
>Spider-Man 2
Pizza Tower will win best indie. I think Starfield will be so dogshit at launch they can't justify nominating it for best indie.
>Who will win?
who fricking cares
who watches this 3 hour commercial
XVI is so far below ToTK, D4 and Starfield it's not even funny
XVI and Starfield aren't out yet.
don't need to be.
that's an example of pic rel
people who got early copies of FFXVI are calling it a GOTY contender
IGN got a copy of Starfield, they're calling it the greatest game ever made, no joke.
>IGN
They said the same thing about dozens of bad games.
average ffxvi demo reaction
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-M42nqxEw-I
the evangelion moment really sold the demo
Realistically TOTK will win. I think FFXVI will get decent initial impressions but the game will turn out to be shit. BG3 has no chance even if it's amazing because there's not enough hype for it and TGA always picks something BIG unless they have a 2021 situation when there isn't a single game like that the entire year. The only way I could see BG3 winning if it gets really popular after launch and if there's a simultaneous console launch.
So if TOTK didn't release this year the GOTY would be either Starfield or Armored Core 6, leaning towards Starfield.
>Baldur's Gate 3
it's literally so close to being 10/10 if just the characters and OST were better. Halsin is the only character i like so hopefully can be a permanent companion. And maybe shadowheart because she's clearly been brainwashed into thinking she's evil. Everyone else can frick off.
OST is kinda mediocre just like DOS2. Not as good as old BG and nowhere near ToB levels. They should have just hired Inon Zur or Howard Drossin or something.
>OST is kinda mediocre just like DOS2. Not as good as old BG and nowhere near ToB levels. They should have just hired Inon Zur or Howard Drossin or something.
That's the most ridiculous complaint I have ever heard. DOS2 and BG3 have top tier soundtracks and its the one of the best things about their respective games.
It has Shadowheart, which automatically makes this game undisputed 10/10. Honestly, I am hyped. I am little worried about the plot, but from what they recently showed we can expect some The Wire political kino shit in the city. My main worry is that even though we can make a literal pact with the devil, the fricking worm still seems like non-issue, and something to fix after all the side quests are finished. Aside from that, the early access is probably the best game I have ever played.
>nobody cares about ffxvi haha
>it will flop haha
BARRY ARE YOU OK?
ARE YOU OK?
ARE YOU OK BARRY?
krk
If those 3 are really the best contenders for the GOTY, what a shit year this will be.
>Ganker: Journos are shit
>also Ganker: GOTY GOTY GOTY WHO WILL WIN THE GOTY
this place is full of fricking morons
>TOTK won't win shit
It will but you also forgot Resident Evil 4 Remake. Both are historical Game of the Decade winners and are the runaway favorites.
Don't sleep on Cyberpunk.
