I don't see any normalfags talking about BG3 either. Even Ganker barely talks about it now, after all the shilling and bait threads.
TOTK actually has a thread right now despite every second thread being about Zelda or 'already forgotten'.
HiFi Rush is actually the only game that deserves an award for at least being original unlike all those shitty sequels and remakes and FOTM
This was unironically the worst year for gaming since 2014. I see a lot of people coping elsewhere saying that it's one of the best, but they're just delusional.

I could honestly go on but it's not worth it.
Idk it feels about as good/bad as 2020 to me. 2020 was pretty mediocre or "meh" and that's what the feeling I get from this year.
Nothing was really released this year that I liked, same as 2020. Although 2020 at least had the Demons Souls remaster, which I played a little. But this year, I just played Elden ring 3 times lol
>You didn't like Elden Ring?
Never played it and never will.

More retards getting triggered by something popular. I'm not arguing that someone has to like ER because most gamers do, I'm arguing that not playing the game just because it's popular is a joke position to take. You are all clowns.

What I love about posts like yours is even after all the shittalking and seething the moment we do a poll about this on Ganker Elden Ring immediately sweeps everything else. The ones who play that game just don't engage in the butthurt cryposting over it.
2021 was still important since despite the Pandemic being in full swing a lot of companies managed to release (mostly) feature complete products. In 2023 there's no excuse, but everything is still botched at launch.
I mean, if BG3 didn't exist, AC6 would win. Not just because it's good and an actual, finished, polished video game, but because Geoff likes FROM. It would simply be too obvious if he snubbed BG3 for AC6 this year, even if he wants to. It will win best action game for sure.
For me it's AC6. I hope the expansion bring back more in depth tuning, and makes it worthwhile if they do bring it back instead of immediately maxing out turning speed. Disgaea 7 was also a real treat compared to the trash pile that was D6.
Who the fuck is "they?" There are hundreds of publications that each give out awards at the end of the year. Virtually every game released is guaranteed to win an award from someone.
It's gonna be one of BG3, TOTK, or Mario Wonder
Yup
Unless Microsoft or Sony pay everyone off. But I don't think that will happen.
Spider-Man was designed in a boardroom to appeal to journos though, there's no way it won't be considered
>Mario Wonder
Mario games never won GOTY.
Just retarded to think mario wonder should be in there.
Nintendo already paid for ToKT.
It's BG3. Maaaaybe TOTK.
I don't think any game had a lasting impact this year besides BG3. Even the zelda game seems to have just come and gone.
BG3 has zero impact. It's a pen and paper VN and nobody would care about it if it wasn't for the horny
Nonetheless I don't see normalfags talking about any other game this year. It's over

i don't even know what came out this year. was elden ring last year?
Hi-Fi Rush is the only noteworthy release from this year, there are a few good indies but nothing else outstanding.
As bad as it is, it can't be worse than last year. Did ANYTHING good come out last year?
>Did ANYTHING good come out last year?
ELDEN RING BABY!!!
But did anything GOOD come out last year?
ELDEN RING BABY!!!

Totally forgot that was this year. I'd consider it, colorful and creative games are always nice.
2021 sucked ass. There was fucking nothing except RE Village which itself was just uninspired wannabe-RE4 slop.
Nah, 2021 was pure dogshit to the point 2023 was great by comparison.

>but everything is still botched at launch
Welcome to the last 10 years m8. That shit started way before corona.
So you agree that 2014 is the worst year for gaming, since that was when the precedent of games being incomplete at release was set.
I reckon 2021 was worse than 2014 even if games releasing broken started being normal in 2014.
its just that Ganker is retarded and cannot fathom the idea that any someone could enjoy and have fun with a video game that came out 2012 or after
The past decade has been one giant turd. I hate this era, I hate everything about it.
Corona recession. 2022 wasn't that great and its stillbetter than 2023
Lots of good choices.
Unless you're specifically talking about Dorito Pope's GotY garbage, then it's whichever studio paid the most money.
It's going to be BG3. The only other game that has a chance is AC6.
AC6 doesn't have a chance. No one is talking about it, at least compared to BG3
I uninstalled after Wallclimber. Not a bad game but it didn't amuse me either.
I mean, if BG3 didn't exist, AC6 would win. Not just because it's good and an actual, finished, polished video game, but because Geoff likes FROM. It would simply be too obvious if he snubbed BG3 for AC6 this year, even if he wants to. It will win best action game for sure.
Starfield
Even normalfags shat on that game. It's over Todd, give it up.
No contest.
>still zero coom mods
>still no editor mode
For me it's AC6. I hope the expansion bring back more in depth tuning, and makes it worthwhile if they do bring it back instead of immediately maxing out turning speed. Disgaea 7 was also a real treat compared to the trash pile that was D6.
>game of the year judges
The fuck?
How hard will Ganker seethe when this wins?
>seethe
that would be hilarious, I wish it would happen.
Who the fuck is "they?" There are hundreds of publications that each give out awards at the end of the year. Virtually every game released is guaranteed to win an award from someone.
GotY is a sham but it's BG3 for me.
