They will eventually do this, as well has plugging affiliate links to the exclusive consoles, because the Goy awards is nothing more than a big advertisement for consoles and Epic games
>nooooo i swear that my shitty baby game with infinite time limit, shit music, homosexual Mary Sue dog that can do everything, trash cave filler, atrocious repetitive night missions that never evolve and have nothing to do with pikmin, never ending cutscenes and absolutely fricking moronic game design decisions such as adding splitscreen in single player
I'd fricking take Hey Pikmin 2 over this piece of shit, at least that way I wouldn't get baited into playing garbage
Absolute and utter humiliation for Bethesda and Starfield. Historic moment and first game from Todd Howard to not get a nomination. Likely will never recover.
Why would he? He ripped people of, got his money, he doesn't fricking care about this shit. He is probably back in his cryosleep cell right now, preparing to be frozen until it's time to scam people with TES6
Based, specially for Starfield and FFXVI, thank god the decadence of those games wasnt rewarded for once. Just for the prestige of the names attached to them
The only nomination I don't really like is RE4, but that's mostly because I don't think remakes should be eligible for GOTY awards. Would've replaced it with Hi-Fi Rush, but it's not like that would matter much since this is going to be the Baldur's Gate III Victory Lap show.
Sure. It's not like anything else came out this year. Even if you don't like the game, more effort was put into making it good than any of the other games on that nomination list. I think we can at least agree on that.
>Even if you don't like the game, more effort was put into making it good than any of the other games on that nomination list.
Frick no, speeding 40min in boring fights with the shitty % based hit chance combat is all you need to not be on that list.
Every single category sucks. Hell, for example I only know a single game in GAMES FOR IMPACT category and that's Goodbye Volcano High. And that's because of Ganker and Snoot Game.
TGA votes are like 80% critic right? The reason why TotK has a good chance is because a: Zelda is a massive critics darling just like BG3 and b: no on in Asia is ever going to pick BG3 over it. You only really need the Famitsu dude and someone in Korea to vote for TotK and that nullifies any advantage BG3 would get from the public vote. Doesn't guarantee it's win by any means but this isn't that free for Baldurs's Gate at all.
Yeah I tend to forget the extent to which even this site is a western echo chamber. What do people in Japan think about BG3 and vidya as a whole this year? Although this is basically just a western awards show, right? Geoff's gay love affair with Kojima not withstanding.
People in Japan are insanely obsessed with Zelda, the game releasing raised their national GDP. Mario and Pikmin 4 also did very well, nothing else really made a blip there.
Oh wow, I've just been ignoring this game completely because I'm not into western fantasy stuff so I assumed it wasn't my cup of tea. So far in my search without even really looking, I've found out that there are drag queens and every other character is gay. Why are western games so creepy? Lol
Tears of the Kingdom isn't an asset flip, there was a dozen articles when it came out on how people don't know how they managed to get zonai devices into an already complete game.
Super Mario Wonder might be an engine flip, but the visual assets are all clearly new, plus the new voice actors mean a lot of the audio is too.
>Tears of the Kingdom isn't an asset flip
it's a game that took 6 years to make that takes place on the same fricking map
if TOTK had more of a budget than AC6 I will eat a wine bottle after chugging it
>Tears of the Kingdom isn't an asset flip
Let's see : >Take same game, copy-paste the map, assets, mechanics >Add in shallow source engine physics > add a cave map under the world that an intern took 2 days to model >Copy paste 7 islands in the sky
That game is the textbook definition of an asser flip.
> It took the effort of making a new game
REmake 4 is still using the same assets from RE7. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if RE8 only exists to make assets for REmake 4.
New everything except for what ought to be new in a video game, which is the actual experience. The game plays the same and stories the same, so it's still the same game with a new coat of paint.
>Fromdrones
But there wasn't any soulsshit mentioned in the discussion to warrant fromdrones though? AC6 is the game that scares them away.
>t. a soulstroon
Armored Core 6 should be in over Spiderman, which is just DLC for the first game.
I haven't touched any of these. Where is AC6
AC6 absolutely should be on the list. But it's too "niche" for normies compared to Mario. Fromsoft doesn't get the mass appeal bonus cause it's not literally a souls game.
AC6 is a dogshit game that flopped harder than my dick on your mom's face. It didn't deserve to win anything.
>as did two Nintendo asset flips >SPIDER-MAN 2 LITERALLY HAS ASSETS FROM 1 while not a single asset from Wonder comes from a previous mario
I see. Very unbiased
>caring about the normie awards
I know you don’t actually give a shit Ganker. It’s just a gimmick to shitpost about. You’ll lose interest a week after they’re done.
It'll be Baldur's Gay. The TGAs almost always for for troony/gay games whenever possible, which means it's realistically only between Spiderman and BG3. But SM2 is basically DLC, so it'll go to BG3.
>he TGAs almost always for for troony/gay games whenever possible, which means it's realistically only between Spiderman and BG3
Zelda is crypto-troony core.
>shit >okay game but filled with homosexualry >filled with homosexualry >remake >didn't play, looks fun from gameplay clips >boring as frick, first zelda game I stopped playing before finishing
I guess the award goes to the remake, because the original RE4 was just that good.
Why are most of these there? They should just give the award to BG3 and cancel the show this year. Everyone already knows what's going to happen because it was such a mediocre year for bidya. I mean the fact that they have the mario game on there is proof of that.
>all the exact same art style
I want to cripple this entire industry by just going around to every studio and busting the kneecaps of the people in charge with a metal baseball bat
Can't speak for the other games, but Dredge was pretty fun. Wish it had more fish to catch and some more eldritch stuff going on. I'll probably go back once all the free DLCs are done; might even pick up the paid expansion if it seems worthwhile.
Pizza tower not being on there is a fricking disgrace . Only game on there in the same league as it on that list is Dave the Diver . Frick these awards man
I guess Tears would be a fine pick too. BG3 is a good game but it's still just a top down RPG. Alan Wake and Tears do wild shit like the dance sequence in AW2 and making mechs in Tears.
Frick this c**t. >Hmm, there are some dangerous creatures on the loose on several planets and they're hard to hunt down, how should we handle this? >I think introducing their natural predators to their environment is a good solution, especially since they're not dangerous to humans and can even be used as a sustainable food source. >NOOOO HOW COULD YOU REJECT THE GENETICALLY MODIFIED SUPERVIRUS WE CAME UP WITH IT WHY DIDN'T YOU TRUST THE SCIENCE!
AC6 absolutely should be on the list. But it's too "niche" for normies compared to Mario. Fromsoft doesn't get the mass appeal bonus cause it's not literally a souls game.
How are nominations decided? I didn't think Pizza Tower was all that special, but considering how popular it was, it's strange to not see it there. In fact, I never even heard of the other ones besides the Chrono Trigger ripoff.
The only thing I saw about that game was the one Vinesauce clip where he muted it the moment the female MC said some cringe flopspoken tier "woah did i just freakin do that" line
Honestly there's maybe 3 games there I'd nominate. Those being >Hi-Fi Rush >Diablo 4 >Spiderman 2
The problem with this award of that its one of the awards that genre matters nowadays, since accessibility IS getting better.
I went for Diablo 4 because of its genre. It doesn't have the accessibility options in numerous ways that Spiderman 2 or Forza has, but due to the genre alone its one of the most accessible games of the genre that's ever come out.
Spiderman 2 and Forza Motorsport have numerous examples of games that have been accessible within their own genre at this point. MK1 and Street Fighter 6 shouldn't even be nominated, especially MK1. SF6 I might understand but it still lacks a ton of accessibility features.
Kind of a weird year for this award because the past few years have genuinely been that good.

baldur's gate should be nominated too, I think it's one of the best examples of accessibility to a niche genre, I mean just look at the success, the definition of accessibility is glaring
almost every category has dog shit picks. this is by far the worst year for the game awards. the only way i'd watch this shit is if steam gives out steamdecks again
Dude, Starfield isn't there, Phantom Liberty Isn't there. I'm fricking falling into 3k hours on one of these games. I love this. Fricking amazing year.
>Best RPG >Starfield
Thank you anonymous user. One vote may be all we receive, but even one person who loves Starfield as much as we do is enough for us.
For me its >homeworld 3 >persona remake >that other atlus rpg >avowed >paper mario
And i guess hades 2, but that one is on the list. Wolf among us 2 also, but i doubt the studio will live to release that one lmao
I said earlier this year that 2023 was an outlier and we'd see a cliff next year and beyond (because all the games got pushed to thanks to Covid and they all ended up landing around the same time). This is the best year we're getting this generation. I told you and nobody listened.
Anon...this is the best we've got. As in THIS is the best we can do and that it's all downhill. Think about that for a second and where the industry is.
Outside of GTA6(which hasn’t been officially revealed yet, just announced) there’s nothing really coming up. Personally I’m gonna play LaD:8 from this list. Next game awards, this list will be dominated by GTA
For me it's Metaphor Re Fantazio, Dragon's Dogma 2 and Under Night In-Birth 2. I don't necessarily expect that they'd put them, aside from maybe DD2, on here, but there is no way they couldn't find something more highly anticipated than Star Wars: Outlaws.
>FF7R
The story is going to be absolute garbagefor sure, but I like the characters and hopefully the combat will be better than in part 1. >Hades 2
Meh. Supergiant are cool dudes but I hate roguelites and I didn't like the gameplay of Hades 1 that much to begin with. >Like a Dragon
I will never understand how this shitty movie franchise ever became popular. >Star Wars
Frick off and die. >Tekken
I always liked then way the Tekken games look, but I don't play fightan gaems so I can't say much about this.
I guess FF7R gets my vote, but the only major titles I'm looking forward to at the moment are Dragon's Dogma 2 and Homeworld 3.
>>FF7R >The story is going to be absolute garbagefor sure, but I like the characters and hopefully the combat will be better than in part 1.
Hopefully the level design is a lot better too.
>BG3 >A clearly unfinished game filled with bugs and issues >Also showing clear rewrites and plot holes throughout the story >One where they focused on the self insert gay bear joke character instead of making a proper evil route >One that absolutely shits the bed after Act 1, which was probably all that reviewers playes
It's going to win, isn't it?
yea of course, friends made buy that piece of trash, and now I'm force to play this garbage every months. The combat make one to kill myself, boring slop.
it was, game awards are throwing it under the rug despite it outperforming sekiro in sales and in reception. No idea why, probably personal vendetta since its a difficult game (for them).
Yeah, sometimes i forget this isn't about the best game of the year, its about the "prettiest" one in the eyes of investors and dipshit journalists that don't play games

see
I work for a games news website, and let me fill you in on a little secret. Everyone hates Souls games. Because it's the journalist's job to play these games, but they are such a chore to play because they're so poorly designed and the game systems are deliberately obtuse.
Souls games are a sacred cow of sorts that journalists are too afraid to admit are garbage, but someday more and more people will start to come out and admit how bad they are. The tide is slowly turning already.
Someone nominate Lords of the Fallen. Those guys are borderline neurotic when it comes to "community responsiveness" to the point where they have tried to include every single player's feedback into the game's frequent updates--Often to the game's detriment, I might add.
the constant patches they've been firing out post-release just tells me the game had to be released undercooked for some investor deadline or some shit. Really needed another few months in the oven
Shit like pizza tower being mentioned.
Re4r, bg3, Fartfield, flop fantasy, children's mario game.
We actually had some good games released this year and none have been mention. Just all this normie shit
>Shit like pizza tower being mentioned. >We actually had some good games released this year and none have been mention
I’m seeing two contradictory statements here…
My personal games of the year that's present among the nominees: >Alan Wake 2 >BG3 (my GOTY and I think this will win at TGA) >Super Mario Wonder
bonus: >World of Horror (for me, this gets 2nd place so far)
Although I don't quite understand what ToTK or RE4 are doing there. I mean those were nice but I don't think they get anywhere close to Alan Wake 2 or BG3.
Look at BG3, Jedi Fallen Disney, Spiderman (even with patches). Buggy or unfinished games. This idea that RE4 was something they slapped together in year or year and half is laughable and dishonest. The only thing RE4 follows the original on is story beats. New engine that insanely mod friendly, new enemy AI, new enemy's, new movement, expanded map, a new counter system and new unlockables. Capcoms got more talent than any other dev in the industry outside of Nintendo and Rockstar. They're the only dev this year that dropped 2 highly praised games in 2023. They have 2 big games next year too. Consistency and quality that 98% of other devs can't match.
On the one hand yeah I agree especially for RE4 which is very similar to the old one. On the other hand I don't know, RE2 was my favorite 2019 release and it's practically a totally separate game from its source material.

If you journos can't even finish a souls game then you should just quit your jobs already and get into movie reviews. Oh wait, that's what you guys are already doing.
It's there for best Art Direction, best Action game, best audio design, and best Score and Music. Four nominations is honestly fricking fantastic. it should have been the Xbox represented game for GOTY but that's just how I feel about it
Nominees are selected by major media outlets anon. In other words, IGN, GameSpot and such. Do you really think they'd select actual video games except for on complete accident?
World of horrors is more unique than the 2 you mention.
Bombrush cyberfunk is fun af, and it been 15 years since I game similar to that was made.
Pizza tower is like Bombrush but with a twist compare to the original.
I refuse to believe grown adults would not only play baby children games like Zelda and Mario, but actually say they they’re game of the year. put starfield up there for christs sake.
>baby children games like Zelda and Mario
Way to out yourself you broccoli-headed homo. Every decade, a new generation of kids spout the same thing. I've been witnessing it since the '90s, and you little homosexuals are like a broken record.
Let's be honest, it'll be Baldur's Gate 3 or Spiderman 2 because those two are the most recent good games in people's memory, they haven't had time to be soured on them.
It's incredible how HBO's Last of Us show got so "hyped" then immediately disappeared like a silent fart in the wind after it ended. I don't even think anyone knew a Gran Autismo or Twisted Metal adaptation came out either fricking kek. Verification not required.
>some spider man game (they already had several spider man games released in 6th gen) >some generic western fantasy game (they already had things like World of Warcraft) >Resident Evil >Mario/Zelda
Only thing missing is Halo.
BG3 will win because Alan Wake and Nigggerman 2 will split the votes between each other. Likewise TotK and Mario Wonder will split their votes. RE4R will simply not get enough attention and BG3 will win.
>90%
You're delusional if you think they're counting votes at all
This entire "event" is literally just a slideshow of commercials. It's the superbowl without an actual sport to accompany it.
Mario Wonder wins, every journalist and corporation who pushes for cinematic AAA slop is asshurt, and tendies have a field day as the Marvel quip flower is spammed on the catalog
>Sign in to vote
Why?
This is literally a data harvesting scheme. The only vote that matters is the board's, and that's determined by marketing factors rather than anything to do with the game itself.
She makes 6-7 figures a year and she's a fricking Puerto Rican. That's a family's lifetime of money each year there. Also there's no fricking proof that her giga bedridden illness is even real. Reminder that a twitch streamer named ZiloanOP got banned a decade ago after faking being in a wheelchair for years and he only got caught because he had a facecam and he stood up like a moron.
>Out of all the fricking more popular vtuber they pick Ironmouse >PMG made like a total of 5 video this year >Quackity Youtube channel hasn't uploaded a video since 2022 August >Sprreen is just Spanish only youtuber and more like a random video one then gaming >Sypherk is Fortnite youtuber #45465481
the only vtubers more popular than her are the hoe-girlve girls and they completely filter normalgays because they're idols who avoid interacting with men and sing love songs while streaming on no mans land (aka youtube streaming)
Mario or RE4 I guess. Not that it matters. Last of they/them part 2 won't GOTY and Dragon Age inquisition beat Bayo 2. These award shows are pointless. I learned a long time ago that video games aren't made for people like me anymore.
I hardly pay attention to this anyways because the games I end up liking the most don't show up and the community votes don't really carry any weight so it all comes down to who paid the biggest amount of cash. Pretty good for shitposting purposes at least.
Sony spends nine figures on marketing for their big tentpole releases and Geoff needs a cut of that in order to keep the grift going.
Spiderman 2 is going to win every single thing it's nominated for because normies love that shit.
Alan Wake is a million times better than typical Snoi movie game #6 gorillion and I say this as someone who absolutely despised playing as the negress.
Same for BG. Absolutely pozzed, but I can't deny it was a good game. Spider-Man 2 was not only pozzed, it was a shit moronic game which zero originality or anything new to add.
>alan woke 2 >balfur's gay 3 >spider-cuck 2 >resident evil 4 demake >super mario bros wonder how many times we can still cash on this >the legend of asset flips: tears of the cashgrab
gaming is dead
Alan Wake 2 is the only game on this list that actually uses videogames as a medium to an substantial or meaningful degree. Which means it won't win, because gamers and morons on Ganker don't think of videogames that way, and they're ultimately still homogenized formulas that exist to trigger people's dopamine more efficiently than toys.
Don't care if I get called a pseud. Industry speaks for itself. When people are saying stuff like "Baldurs Gate is so good because it's finally a REAL RPG!!!" You know that people only want games for trying to fit properly into whatever specific and narrow box of arbitrary characteristics they have chosen to value.
I liked when labels, notions, and preconceptions didn't exist as much. Where games like Classic Tomb Raider couldn't easily be fit into a genre because it made it. And nothing to come after has ever played like it. When Silent Hill 2 proved that videogames itself, as a medium are special not simply for its gameplay, but the almost tangible experience it could instill, an experience that simply wouldnt be the same as a movie, where you were navigating and trying to understand a strange world and strange circumstances. When games like Prince of Persia Sands of Time thought it would be cool to make the character and story feel more personal and lively by having the Prince narrate the story himself and insist that "No No No, that's not how it happened" whenever he died. When Dark Souls 1 decided to try and make a robust, and cohesive hostile enviroment, where every push to the next bonfire managing your estus and navigating dark complex areas, felt like fighting for your life to progress. To find something new, to satiate that curiosity and sense of discovery and continue to press on through harsh conditions, and varied structures filled with a number of unique traps and enemies always ready to greet you.
Today. TR would be called clunky, slow, boring. SH2 a moviegame. SoT is marvel/disneyesque and DS1 simple and tedious.
I have played none of these games, but from what i have gleaned from videos and online discussions, the Zelda game. Resident Evil 4 is a remake and shouldn't have been nominated.
>Alan Wake II
I'll give the game credit where credit is due. I can see it winning the art direction award due to its mix-media but it does not deserve GOTY. >Baldur's Gate 3
Honestly the best game of the bunch. Plus it would be satisfying to see it win after so many throughout the game industry whined that achieving the game's success is impossible because you gotta nickle and dime your players. >Spider-man 2
Haven't played it. Have no interest in it. I don't image it did anything revolutionary or anything noteworthy outside of being a solid game. >Resident Evil 4
It has to be a joke that RE4 was even nominated for GOTY, right? It did nothing but polish the original game a bit and add some mini-games. >Super Mario Bros.: Wonder
Nothing revolutionary or noteworthy about this either. It's just another Mario game with this year's "wacky gameplay mechanic". >LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom
This is the only game I think will give Baldur's Gate 3 a "run for it's money". It didn't necessary do anything unique or different from BotW other than adding the ability to build things. Which again...Isn't something we haven't seen before. But I can see the media giving it GOTY anyway just because it's Nintendo.
>has to be a joke that RE4 was even nominated for GOTY, right?
Last I checked RE4 on PC has higher reviews on steam than BG3. What are you kn about? BG3 isn't anywhere near as polished as RE4 Remake
Its good if you like rpgs and shit. 3 only makes references to the first ones but its a standalone story. I have not encountered a single LGBT thing in the game.
>Is BG3 really that good
Not really if we're being honest. It's one of the better games to come out this year, yes (especially the first Act of the game), but that says a whole lot more about the quality of games released this year than anything about BG3.
I only pirated it, but yeah it's pretty good. The LGBT amounts to all the love interests being playersexual and a lesbian couple that you can murder if you're doing an evil run.
Its good, but not "the besterest game ever made" good like too many people try to puff it up as. It begins to go downhill pretty quickly after Act 1, due to the lack of polish, lack of QA, rewrites, and cut content in Act 2 and 3.
>Mk1 was a nothing burger and disappointment and had almost no impact
Yeah but which game had a bigger commercial budget?
You have to think like a western marketing parasite. Plus Japanese games are icky, it'd be a bad look for TGA to be giving awards to something problematic like that.
Capcom/Street Fighter gays already crying and coping before the awards even begin. Don't worry, you guys will still have Steamcharts to argue with and jerk off about how SF6 is the best FG ever.
>Had no marketing push whatsoever, was announced and launched on the very same day, essentially a shadowdrop >was a competently new IP, not beholden by being in a series >a completely unique take on a genre being a rhythm based beat em up game
This game is the most unique thing we had in years but its such a shame it won't be anywhere near in the GOTY category just because of big budget sequels like Spiderman 2 and Tears of the Kingdom which is not at all unique and is very derivative of their previous game.
Absolutely fricking based. It doesn't matter what schizo a side is on because a schizo will always have "anti-schizos" who are just as annoying. In all honestly, hey could very well be the same "people".
Your personal GOTY and the moments that defined your GOTY >Hi-Fi Rush >the very first moment you take control as you see the world and your character animate to the beat of the soundtrack >Xenogears reference >Invaders must die >Korsica and her scottish accent >Chai: I don't need a guitar. I AM a rockstar. >Entirety of level 11 with Whirring
No shitposting, im just very curious why you chose your goty
Elden Ring
When I played it last year, I just went with the boring sword and shield setup (bastard sword and that golden whatever shield.) When I played it again this year, it was a lot more fun to start out as the naked class and find use whatever equipment and armor I could find, and create my build around that. Ended up with an INT build and when I got the Dark Moon Blade, I knew it was my GOTY even though it came out last year
Pizza Tower.
The entire finale is fricking cathartic as frick, Peppino's rage fueled rampage through the boss rush into the final escape sequence and Bye Bye There is quite possibly the greatest victory lap in a video game.
>Best RPG >Sea of Stars >STarfield >FF16 >No Octopath >No Future Redeemed
Honestly, Wo Long deserves to be on that list over FF16. I found the bosses in Wo Long to be a lot more fun that most of the bosses in FF16 and it has more RPG mechanics than FF16
Sure but the VGAs sort of include some action-RPGs (like Elden Ring) in the RPG category. So if Elden Ring is an action RPG, I'd say Wo Long is too
FF16 is far more of a pure action game though, there's functionally no RPG elements in it at all so it should probably just be in action-adventure with God of War Ragnarok and the like
can someone please explain me why ac6 and ffxvi weren't nominated when they were highly acclaimed and massively popular games? no instead we get a movie, a remake, and two nintendo games, wtf is this shit.
BG3 is only overrated because of it's narrative(that is shit and only jerked off because gamers have dogshit standards, don't read, and are manchildren), and because of all the gayshit in it, which modern subhumans love. No-one gives a flying frick about the "gameplay", which is why 90% of "discussion" about it mostly involves talking about which character someone is turned on by. And no, dialogue choices isn't gameplay.
BG3 will win. literally bulletproof with all le wholesome degeneracy in it. lineup makes sense besides RE4 remake. that shit was soulless garbage
FF16 was shit
FF16 sucks dick. If it was turn based like BG3, it would have a guaranteed spot
wrong - if everything about it wasn't mediocre or subpar or braindead easy, it would've had a chance. The story of a Final Fantasy game is all that matters, and 16's was the worst part of the entire game
desu, I think nowadays if your game doesn't end up on GOTY it should be considered worth playing.
I wouldn't touch any of this shit recommended because the amount of bribery that would be needed for your game to end up here is insane (and usually down to ""journalists"" and groups like Night Media dictating whats allowed.)
RE4 shouldn't make the cut based on being remake of a game that didn't need one with bad voice acting and cut content.
Spider-homosexuals 2 is a fricking joke.
TotK is without a doubt the biggest technical masterpiece in this list of mostly buggy things that shouldn't have made it past QA.
They're going to give it to Baldur's Gate 3 because
A.They already gave a GOTY to BotW
B.The normal western dev bias
C.It released after TotK
D.Journos are a bunch of degenerate sexpests that love disgustingly unattractive women that look like low effort transvestites and zoophilia.
I don't care too much because I'd still say that buggy piece of isometric shit absolutely deserves 2nd place, the cali-homosexuals who decide just love it more than I do.
big props to not nominating Starfail.
just read >Skyrim has passed Starfield in player count just 2 months after release
I didn't think the L would be that large.
If any of you had even a sliver of hope left for TESVI, now is the time to actually give up.
Instead of just admitting that totk is a shit asset flip DLC, tendies will blame the SJW boogeyman. Sad. They were bragging for 6 years and shilling these awards shows because 2017 was a garbage year for games. Top kek
>this will be the second time in Todd's life where his flagship game will lose GOTY to a better rpg and go home without a single award
Post your face when
Either Bg3 wins GOTY, or TotK wins GOTY the others don't stand a chance.
And in both cases an actual fricking game wins. I personally would pick TotK but if BG3 won I'd be totally at peace with that too.
Now if something like Spiderslop 2 randomly won. Oh boy...
Chants of Sennaar is one of the most unique puzzle games I've played recently and the theme is cool too. You're playing as a dude exploring the Tower of Babel and you can't communicate with anyone because of the whole Tower of Babel thing, so you have to try and piece together your own dictionary to know what the frick is going on.
People on here are obsessed with buzzwords, their -gays, -trannies, -slop, goy-, soi-, movie-, etc., and they think that's all you need. No need to go into how something is bad. if you call something one of those buzzwords, then you have to agree with him, you aren't a normalgay, are you?
>alan wake 2 >spiderman 2 >mario wonder
these released so soon that they shouldn't be on here >Resident Evil 4 Remake
remake of a game from 20 years ago, should not be on here. >baldur's gate 3 >zelda TOTK
these are the only two nominees that make sense. go frick yourself jeff
It's got a lot of options for cripples so I gave them the nomination.
Thew two categories I'm most invested in are Pizza Tower winning best indie debut because it deserves it and D2 winning best community support because LOL.
Only people that played and beaten all 6 of those games are qualified to vote. So basically 99% of the votes and this awards show is irrelevant
>You need to play trash to know it's trash
implying I will ever buy a PS5 or shit man 2
I'm good
Joke’s on you I’ve played 0% of those games so I have no bias whatsoever
I've played none of them and I think BG3 will win.
>I think BG3 will win.
You don't need to be god to know the amount of dick sucking the journos did for the game.
i think you underestimate the sheer autism of tendies
They will eventually do this, as well has plugging affiliate links to the exclusive consoles, because the Goy awards is nothing more than a big advertisement for consoles and Epic games
was wondering that too
you'd have to be a professional game player to honestly vote
Played them all except Black personman DLC, TOTK win ez
This is not too unreasonable, i just don't play Remakes (RE4), woke Jogerman capeshit or Early access slop (BG3)
Pikmin 4 is the best I played this year and I don't care which of these wins
pikmin 4 is a nominee for at least one category
There's no homosexual category though
>nooooo i swear that my shitty baby game with infinite time limit, shit music, homosexual Mary Sue dog that can do everything, trash cave filler, atrocious repetitive night missions that never evolve and have nothing to do with pikmin, never ending cutscenes and absolutely fricking moronic game design decisions such as adding splitscreen in single player
I'd fricking take Hey Pikmin 2 over this piece of shit, at least that way I wouldn't get baited into playing garbage
Absolute and utter humiliation for Bethesda and Starfield. Historic moment and first game from Todd Howard to not get a nomination. Likely will never recover.
>first game from Todd Howard to not get a nomination
he's only directed one other game since TGAs came into existence
>no Starfield
Do you think hes calling Phil right now to tell Geoff if he does not change the awards that they wont sponsor as much as they intended?
Why would he? He ripped people of, got his money, he doesn't fricking care about this shit. He is probably back in his cryosleep cell right now, preparing to be frozen until it's time to scam people with TES6
Todd is retiring soon and wont be there for ES6
no Elder Scrolls 6 as well when it comes out
Bethesda's best game was Hi-Fi Rush this year.
>Alan Woke, capeshit, and a fricking Mario game nominated over Starfield
Todd absolutely seething and sneeding right now.
>a fricking Mario game
I don't think Todd is a console warrior unlike yourself, Mario is a big franchise that is very popular
Super mario autistslop should not be on there.
It's the 2nd best game there.
I didn't like anything that came out this year. I played Elden Ring twice and bought an old PS2 with FFX and MGS3. Lol.
I'm thinking I don't watch corporate shill shows
>no slopfield
The industry is healing.
>Baldur's Slop 3
>Slop Man 2
>Mario Zelda Slop
Nah, it's probably just a fluke.
Yes, everything you don't like is "slop"
Yes
Frick off, Todd.
You dork. Back to your chess club.
mario wonder is the opposite of slop you imbecile
>Alan Woke 2
>Blackrock 2
>BOTW 1.5
>New Bing Bing Wahoo 443
The industry has never been this dead before.
>Mihoyo shit present at VGA
nope, its getting worse
>no hifi rush
Robbed
>No armored slop
>no trans homosexualty 16
>no Sirfield
Finally, a good selection this year
Based, specially for Starfield and FFXVI, thank god the decadence of those games wasnt rewarded for once. Just for the prestige of the names attached to them
Should only be TOTK and Bald you gay 3 all other games don't have a chance to win unless Snoy cultists manipulate the vote.
The only nomination I don't really like is RE4, but that's mostly because I don't think remakes should be eligible for GOTY awards. Would've replaced it with Hi-Fi Rush, but it's not like that would matter much since this is going to be the Baldur's Gate III Victory Lap show.
We already know which one is going to win.
The better question is: Does it deserve the win?
Sure. It's not like anything else came out this year. Even if you don't like the game, more effort was put into making it good than any of the other games on that nomination list. I think we can at least agree on that.
>Even if you don't like the game, more effort was put into making it good than any of the other games on that nomination list.
Frick no, speeding 40min in boring fights with the shitty % based hit chance combat is all you need to not be on that list.
Every single category sucks. Hell, for example I only know a single game in GAMES FOR IMPACT category and that's Goodbye Volcano High. And that's because of Ganker and Snoot Game.
Surprised wonder got in. If i cared enough id vote for bg3
The nintendo bonus is real. Imagine the shitshow it would cause if wonder somehow won lol
Realistically it's just BG3. Nothing else including Totk had the same amount of staying power among the general public.
TGA votes are like 80% critic right? The reason why TotK has a good chance is because a: Zelda is a massive critics darling just like BG3 and b: no on in Asia is ever going to pick BG3 over it. You only really need the Famitsu dude and someone in Korea to vote for TotK and that nullifies any advantage BG3 would get from the public vote. Doesn't guarantee it's win by any means but this isn't that free for Baldurs's Gate at all.
Yeah I tend to forget the extent to which even this site is a western echo chamber. What do people in Japan think about BG3 and vidya as a whole this year? Although this is basically just a western awards show, right? Geoff's gay love affair with Kojima not withstanding.
People in Japan are insanely obsessed with Zelda, the game releasing raised their national GDP. Mario and Pikmin 4 also did very well, nothing else really made a blip there.
>People in Japan are insanely obsessed with Zelda
Japan doesn't care about Zelda that much.
Even Pikmin 4 had better legs than TotK.
it'd be a literal shame to see a PC game the quality of BG3 lose to an asset flip.
It isn't a shame since that pc game is fricking garbage
Oh wow, I've just been ignoring this game completely because I'm not into western fantasy stuff so I assumed it wasn't my cup of tea. So far in my search without even really looking, I've found out that there are drag queens and every other character is gay. Why are western games so creepy? Lol
Just the fact Troonfield wasn't even nominated makes me happy. I don't even care who wins anymore.
RE4, Mario or Zleda. The west is making diarrhea woke slop.
>no Armored Core 6
>but a remake of a game from 2005 got the nomination
>as did two Nintendo asset flips
Tears of the Kingdom isn't an asset flip, there was a dozen articles when it came out on how people don't know how they managed to get zonai devices into an already complete game.
Super Mario Wonder might be an engine flip, but the visual assets are all clearly new, plus the new voice actors mean a lot of the audio is too.
thank you sirs on my way too buy copies now
Whatever, just don't use asset flip when rehashed sequel fits what you wanted to say better.
>Tears of the Kingdom isn't an asset flip
it's a game that took 6 years to make that takes place on the same fricking map
if TOTK had more of a budget than AC6 I will eat a wine bottle after chugging it
>MUH SAME MAP
This is a dogshit fricking argument and it shows you have played very few games
Frick off shill
Eat ass, you moronic Black person
Choke on it homosexual
>Tears of the Kingdom isn't an asset flip
Let's see :
>Take same game, copy-paste the map, assets, mechanics
>Add in shallow source engine physics
> add a cave map under the world that an intern took 2 days to model
>Copy paste 7 islands in the sky
That game is the textbook definition of an asser flip.
troony homosexual seethe harder
>Can't argue his point
>Try the troony card
cope nintendie, it's an asset flip.
>fromdrones were delusional enough thinking their giant robot homosexualry was going to get nominated
lmaoing at you moronic weebs
>Fromdrones
But there wasn't any soulsshit mentioned in the discussion to warrant fromdrones though? AC6 is the game that scares them away.
dilate
>t. a soulstroon
Mecha is gay and no game in the genre is good.
Why is a remake an issue? It took the effort of making a new game. A remaster, sure, but a remake is new everything.
> It took the effort of making a new game
REmake 4 is still using the same assets from RE7. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if RE8 only exists to make assets for REmake 4.
New everything except for what ought to be new in a video game, which is the actual experience. The game plays the same and stories the same, so it's still the same game with a new coat of paint.
AC6 is a dogshit game that flopped harder than my dick on your mom's face. It didn't deserve to win anything.
>AC6 only gets nominated in a nothingburger category
Be happy, it deserves less
>armored core 6 isn't an asset flip
>bu... but the nintendo games are!!!!
lolcope
nintendo fans always with a half assed comeback, last ac6 was 2 generations ago, wtf are you talking about you Black person
Yeah in 2012, and the game is also on PS4, so it isn't like they can't just use those assets, put some filters on them and call it a day
Awards are popularity contests and mechas are extremely niche. You should be grateful the game sold at all.
>>as did two Nintendo asset flips
There's nothing like Mario Wonder anywhere.
isnt that shit on the Wii U
>as did two Nintendo asset flips
>SPIDER-MAN 2 LITERALLY HAS ASSETS FROM 1 while not a single asset from Wonder comes from a previous mario
I see. Very unbiased
>FromBlack person calling ANYTHING an assetflip
Lmfao
So realistically this is just TotK vs BG3 right? Are Wonder and TotK going to cannibalize each other in this case?
>caring about the normie awards
I know you don’t actually give a shit Ganker. It’s just a gimmick to shitpost about. You’ll lose interest a week after they’re done.
It's gonna be BG3 or TotK. More likely BG3.
It'll be Baldur's Gay. The TGAs almost always for for troony/gay games whenever possible, which means it's realistically only between Spiderman and BG3. But SM2 is basically DLC, so it'll go to BG3.
>he TGAs almost always for for troony/gay games whenever possible, which means it's realistically only between Spiderman and BG3
Zelda is crypto-troony core.
Count the amount of actual homosexuals and trannies in the entire Zelda franchise versus just BG3.
>It's another CCP vs. Yakuza shilloff
Cool, yet one more skip year
The only games I touched from this list are Mario and Zelda, both were mid af.
At least Armored Bore and Shartfield weren't nominated.
>shit
>okay game but filled with homosexualry
>filled with homosexualry
>remake
>didn't play, looks fun from gameplay clips
>boring as frick, first zelda game I stopped playing before finishing
I guess the award goes to the remake, because the original RE4 was just that good.
Why all the starfield hate
Why is Zelda there? It's just a DLC after all
Why are most of these there? They should just give the award to BG3 and cancel the show this year. Everyone already knows what's going to happen because it was such a mediocre year for bidya. I mean the fact that they have the mario game on there is proof of that.
So is Spiderman 2.
Furthermore, why is a 2005 game on there?
By that logic, so is Spiderman 2. And RE4 is a fricking remake.
Anon, Baldurs Gate is in BG3, that makes it a DLC as well
>vote
>401 unauthorized
Well, frick you.
frick it, let's just do elden ring again
>no Starfield
Everyone knows Slopfield was just the game they made to practice for the game they really want to make (Skyrim 2)
what a fricking disgrace
When did indie games become so gay and cringe? They used to be cool.
>all the exact same art style
I want to cripple this entire industry by just going around to every studio and busting the kneecaps of the people in charge with a metal baseball bat
Yomi Hustlebros... what went wrong?
All the fans hanged themselves, as is common for trannies.
Can't speak for the other games, but Dredge was pretty fun. Wish it had more fish to catch and some more eldritch stuff going on. I'll probably go back once all the free DLCs are done; might even pick up the paid expansion if it seems worthwhile.
Dredge would have been great if I was twelve and had only played one or two games before in my life.
Pizza tower not being on there is a fricking disgrace . Only game on there in the same league as it on that list is Dave the Diver . Frick these awards man
It's there for "Best Debut Indie" and that's it. I don't know what "Debut Indie" is suppose to mean.
That's the real Indie award category. The one titled "Best Indie" is just for personal favors and journalist/publisher clique homosexualry.
First indie game from the studio. So it isn’t dominated by indies made by studios that have a big budget from previous successes like Hades II
Got it. Thanks for explaining that anon.
let me guess, you haven't actually played any of those games have you?
Where the hell is pizza tower?
Well cross Sea of Stars off that list because as a game it was kinda mid.
>zoom tower troony assmad his wario shake it clone got rightfully shafted
kek
Dave the Diver literally isn't an indie game, lmao.
And Ganker still has the gall to claim that they stopped playing AAA and only play indies.
Why is shit like viewfinder thete but not pizza tower?
>no Pizza Tower
just how
>all literal who games
what a horrible time to be alive
Just because you don't know what they are, it doesn't mean that no one else does.
>No Ion Fury Aftershock
>No Amid Evil: Black Labyrinth
>No Project Wingman: Frontline-59
>No Pizza Tower
What a shit nomination list.
>Ion Fury: Afterslop
>Pozzed Evil: Slop Sloprinth
>Project Slopman: pozline-69
>Slop Tower
As if your shit taste is any better
>slop slop slop slop pozz slop pozz slop slop slop pozz slop
Do you like anything?
>Do you like anything
Baldur's Gate 3 is easily the best choice, and it isn't close.
RE4 is an okay remake, but i'd put Alan Wake 2 above it.
Armored Core 6 should be in over Spiderman, which is just DLC for the first game.
*flops*
Yeah but you see, Sony has almost no games so they paid TGA execs to get their only exclusive on the nominees.
All for marlwtong purposes
>Squeeze in RE4R, Mario Wonder, Spider-Man, and Alan Wake 2 just to leave Starfield out of the running
Game Awards just lost all credibility. I will not be watching this year.
People won't just eat up Bethesdaslop anymore after being spoiled by BG3.
I've only played two of those so I can't give an honest opinion
I havent played any vidya since 2019. Looks like i havent missed anything.
>Balding Gay players calling anyone else's game "slop"
What a fricking cancer we endure on this board; the presence and audacity of these trannies.
Holy frick! The seething is so delicious!
Please who is that
Literally everything nominated this year is slop, not just BG3. It was an underwhelming year for vidya
>look at me, im so special
Frick off homosexual. We havent had a year this good since 2017
Holy shit the amount of seethe lol
Let me guess, spidertroon 2?
You have to be 18+ to post here kid, frick off
I'll take that as a yes. Sorry, I just can't take you seriously when your favorite game is marvel shit lol
Nah he's right. You're a homosexual.
Bullshit. 2019 was better. Hell, 2020 was better even with all the disappointments that year. You sound like a little b***h with shit taste.
2019 was one of the best years for vidya in recent memory, we got DMC5 AND Sekiro in 2019
according to trannies and redditors this is the best year in gaming history
>checks reply
yep
Which one lads? For me, its gonna be mario wonder
Zelda
Alan Wake, easy. It's the only one that takes any chances.
>It's the only one that takes any chances
I guess Tears would be a fine pick too. BG3 is a good game but it's still just a top down RPG. Alan Wake and Tears do wild shit like the dance sequence in AW2 and making mechs in Tears.
My sole reasoning for choosing Alan Wake 2 is because they had the balls to put this part into the game
Didnt play the sequel, why are they shitting on alan?
Also voted Alan Wake 2 for direction
BG3
nah
t.
Frick this c**t.
>Hmm, there are some dangerous creatures on the loose on several planets and they're hard to hunt down, how should we handle this?
>I think introducing their natural predators to their environment is a good solution, especially since they're not dangerous to humans and can even be used as a sustainable food source.
>NOOOO HOW COULD YOU REJECT THE GENETICALLY MODIFIED SUPERVIRUS WE CAME UP WITH IT WHY DIDN'T YOU TRUST THE SCIENCE!
literally a gay clown lmao In real life. In the game, it's a necromancer that you can kill.
But can you kill it in real life?
Why would you want to kill someone in real life? Are you sick and demented? Seek help.
Mario Wonder did NOT deserve the nomination over Pikmin 4 or something else like AC6
AC6 absolutely should be on the list. But it's too "niche" for normies compared to Mario. Fromsoft doesn't get the mass appeal bonus cause it's not literally a souls game.
>spiderman 2 instead of HiFi Rush
Geoff is a moron.
FINAL FANTASY gayS ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WOULD WIN OMEGALUL
>Pizza Tower not having nomination in indie and/or OST
Man, I really hoped it would get recognized even for a bit.
I didn't play any of these games. Maybe if I make an account and vote for zelda it will at least cancel out a bald gay troon
How are nominations decided? I didn't think Pizza Tower was all that special, but considering how popular it was, it's strange to not see it there. In fact, I never even heard of the other ones besides the Chrono Trigger ripoff.
meant for
Pizza Tower was nominated.
Wait Viewfinder is out? Why didn’t Ganker talk about it?
The only thing I saw about that game was the one Vinesauce clip where he muted it the moment the female MC said some cringe flopspoken tier "woah did i just freakin do that" line
because it's not very good
>How are nominations decided?
Board of critics aka Geoff's journo friends
>innovation in accessibility
what kind of snake oil category is this
Honestly there's maybe 3 games there I'd nominate. Those being
>Hi-Fi Rush
>Diablo 4
>Spiderman 2
The problem with this award of that its one of the awards that genre matters nowadays, since accessibility IS getting better.
I went for Diablo 4 because of its genre. It doesn't have the accessibility options in numerous ways that Spiderman 2 or Forza has, but due to the genre alone its one of the most accessible games of the genre that's ever come out.
Spiderman 2 and Forza Motorsport have numerous examples of games that have been accessible within their own genre at this point. MK1 and Street Fighter 6 shouldn't even be nominated, especially MK1. SF6 I might understand but it still lacks a ton of accessibility features.
Kind of a weird year for this award because the past few years have genuinely been that good.
>what kind of snake oil category is this
The description is literally on the top-left chuddie, nice try though
baldur's gate should be nominated too, I think it's one of the best examples of accessibility to a niche genre, I mean just look at the success, the definition of accessibility is glaring
almost every category has dog shit picks. this is by far the worst year for the game awards. the only way i'd watch this shit is if steam gives out steamdecks again
Alan Wake 2 would be the straight, normal, accomplished man choice.
Everything else would be the choice of some bizarre LGBT manchild pedophile sack of shit
I haven't touched any of these. Where is AC6
Dude, Starfield isn't there, Phantom Liberty Isn't there. I'm fricking falling into 3k hours on one of these games. I love this. Fricking amazing year.

Thank you anonymous user. One vote may be all we receive, but even one person who loves Starfield as much as we do is enough for us.
It's official. Xbox still has no 1st party exclusives nominated for GOTY for the 11th year in a row HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Spiderslop will win if it isn't baldur's gate.
What the frick? Are these really the most anticipated games next year?
FF7R is the only one I've ever heard of
Genuinely have no clue why you would be on a video game board if you haven't heard of tekken.
cant believe they snubbed silksong when its DEFINITELY coming next year
this has nothing to do with the game coming out next year. elden ring won this category 3 years in a row
Nothing is coming out anymore. It's never been more over than it is right now
Those are the only ones with "concrete" release dates for 2024 I think. Other games are in development hell or delayed to 2025 or some shit.
For me its
>homeworld 3
>persona remake
>that other atlus rpg
>avowed
>paper mario
And i guess hades 2, but that one is on the list. Wolf among us 2 also, but i doubt the studio will live to release that one lmao
Hades followed closely by FF7R
I said earlier this year that 2023 was an outlier and we'd see a cliff next year and beyond (because all the games got pushed to thanks to Covid and they all ended up landing around the same time). This is the best year we're getting this generation. I told you and nobody listened.
Then how come every GOTY contender for 2023 is shit?
Anon...this is the best we've got. As in THIS is the best we can do and that it's all downhill. Think about that for a second and where the industry is.
>This is the best year we're getting this generation.
Pretty grim if true.
Outside of GTA6(which hasn’t been officially revealed yet, just announced) there’s nothing really coming up. Personally I’m gonna play LaD:8 from this list. Next game awards, this list will be dominated by GTA
For me it's Metaphor Re Fantazio, Dragon's Dogma 2 and Under Night In-Birth 2. I don't necessarily expect that they'd put them, aside from maybe DD2, on here, but there is no way they couldn't find something more highly anticipated than Star Wars: Outlaws.
Actually decent picks, only one that shouldn't be there is SW
No Death Stranding 2 or Dragon’s Dogma 2 is strange. Who gives a frick about Outlaws?
Wheres Dragon's Dogma 2
>FF7R
The story is going to be absolute garbagefor sure, but I like the characters and hopefully the combat will be better than in part 1.
>Hades 2
Meh. Supergiant are cool dudes but I hate roguelites and I didn't like the gameplay of Hades 1 that much to begin with.
>Like a Dragon
I will never understand how this shitty movie franchise ever became popular.
>Star Wars
Frick off and die.
>Tekken
I always liked then way the Tekken games look, but I don't play fightan gaems so I can't say much about this.
I guess FF7R gets my vote, but the only major titles I'm looking forward to at the moment are Dragon's Dogma 2 and Homeworld 3.
>>FF7R
>The story is going to be absolute garbagefor sure, but I like the characters and hopefully the combat will be better than in part 1.
Hopefully the level design is a lot better too.
Pragmata should be #1.
I didn't play any of these games.
What the frick am I even supposed to vote for?
I think these are perhaps the worst games selected of any year and proof normal gays have ruined gaming.
Shit like this doesnt deserve to be here.
Only zelda out of that lot is any good and I certainly wouldnt call it game of the year worthy
Street Fighter 6 should be there. Why not 7 nominations? why 6?
They hate fighting games.
>shit
>shit
>shit
>shit
>its fricking mario and zelda . just your usual nintendo quality
It was always going to boil down to BG3 and Zelda.
>BG3
>A clearly unfinished game filled with bugs and issues
>Also showing clear rewrites and plot holes throughout the story
>One where they focused on the self insert gay bear joke character instead of making a proper evil route
>One that absolutely shits the bed after Act 1, which was probably all that reviewers playes
It's going to win, isn't it?
Of course it going to win, they suck the homosexual bear's wiener for 3 month straight.
>He's still mad about the bear joke
yea of course, friends made buy that piece of trash, and now I'm force to play this garbage every months. The combat make one to kill myself, boring slop.
Your English is superb. Where did you learn to speak it?
From your mom lmao
India is truly a frightening country...
Don't confuse my drunk ass for a poo in the loo now...
Of course you had to be not only an idiot but also a fricking spineless pussy.
In order of number of awards it's gonna be
>baldurs gay
>Black personman
>zelda
>alan woke
I mean, they're all varying degrees of slop but atleast the slop of slops Shatfield didn't make it there. I consider that a win.
>alan wake 2
why
>re4RE
why?
Good games? Why not?
Neither are good. I just finished wake 2 and it's objectively worse than the original. RE4RE is a remake and cannot be good-inherently
The xbox/microsoft representative should have been starfield instead of nothing. Very poor showing from geoff
Didn't armored core 6 come out this year? that's crazy that nobody is even talking about it, i thought it was more successful.
it was, game awards are throwing it under the rug despite it outperforming sekiro in sales and in reception. No idea why, probably personal vendetta since its a difficult game (for them).
Yeah, sometimes i forget this isn't about the best game of the year, its about the "prettiest" one in the eyes of investors and dipshit journalists that don't play games
see
>no starfield
real videogames are BACK
starfield sisters... it's over. no one remembers us
This is a joke, right?
Someone nominate Lords of the Fallen. Those guys are borderline neurotic when it comes to "community responsiveness" to the point where they have tried to include every single player's feedback into the game's frequent updates--Often to the game's detriment, I might add.
the constant patches they've been firing out post-release just tells me the game had to be released undercooked for some investor deadline or some shit. Really needed another few months in the oven
I think the entire events a joke
Shit like pizza tower being mentioned.
Re4r, bg3, Fartfield, flop fantasy, children's mario game.
We actually had some good games released this year and none have been mention. Just all this normie shit
>Shit like pizza tower being mentioned.
>We actually had some good games released this year and none have been mention
I’m seeing two contradictory statements here…
If you think dog shit like pizza tower is actually any good then your just as bad as these fricks voting for mario wonder and BG3.
Did you like the incest game too?
My personal games of the year that's present among the nominees:
>Alan Wake 2
>BG3 (my GOTY and I think this will win at TGA)
>Super Mario Wonder
bonus:
>World of Horror (for me, this gets 2nd place so far)
Although I don't quite understand what ToTK or RE4 are doing there. I mean those were nice but I don't think they get anywhere close to Alan Wake 2 or BG3.
did starfield even manage to get into any category?
>best RPG
It's going to win literally no awards this year. I voted for Starfield
Keep in mind "public votes" only hold 10% weight so it really only matters in "closes races".
Reminder RE4 remake wont win any awards. All the categories its in are ones more likely to be one by other games.
Despite it being the most polished, finished and well optimized game of 2023?
Thank frick it's finished it's almost 2 decades old lmao what kind of argument is that ?
Look at BG3, Jedi Fallen Disney, Spiderman (even with patches). Buggy or unfinished games. This idea that RE4 was something they slapped together in year or year and half is laughable and dishonest. The only thing RE4 follows the original on is story beats. New engine that insanely mod friendly, new enemy AI, new enemy's, new movement, expanded map, a new counter system and new unlockables. Capcoms got more talent than any other dev in the industry outside of Nintendo and Rockstar. They're the only dev this year that dropped 2 highly praised games in 2023. They have 2 big games next year too. Consistency and quality that 98% of other devs can't match.
You tell me which award you think it will win
Remakes should be excluded from all categories to begin with.
On the one hand yeah I agree especially for RE4 which is very similar to the old one. On the other hand I don't know, RE2 was my favorite 2019 release and it's practically a totally separate game from its source material.
that's a real shame. it's one of the 4 games i enjoyed the most this year
Why did Phantom Liberty got nominations but Future Redeemed got none?
Because Jason Schreier and his ilk decide on these things and they hate jrpgs and especially Xenoblade.
He's been shilling for Octopath 2 and it didn't even get a single nomination.
It fricking garbage.
Game journos should kill themself
>Nothing but troony journalist games
Did no chud games release this year? Where's our Elden Ring or Sekiro moment bros?
I work for a games news website, and let me fill you in on a little secret. Everyone hates Souls games. Because it's the journalist's job to play these games, but they are such a chore to play because they're so poorly designed and the game systems are deliberately obtuse.
Souls games are a sacred cow of sorts that journalists are too afraid to admit are garbage, but someday more and more people will start to come out and admit how bad they are. The tide is slowly turning already.
If you journos can't even finish a souls game then you should just quit your jobs already and get into movie reviews. Oh wait, that's what you guys are already doing.
How do they keep picking worse games each year.
It's a close game between BG3 and Zelda, but i think BG3 will win
Honkai Star Rail is a better game than all of these.
have a nice day ASAP, gachatrash.
I don’t see AC6 anywhere in this list so I don’t care
> spiderman 2 and mario picked
> not armored core 6
i'm more upset than i should, ac6 was such a banger, even more than bg3. some of the game journos on the panel should be strung up for this
>No Hi-fi Rush
Discarded.
It's there for best Art Direction, best Action game, best audio design, and best Score and Music. Four nominations is honestly fricking fantastic. it should have been the Xbox represented game for GOTY but that's just how I feel about it
Has a marketing meme format ever aged so badly in the history of Ganker?
Outer worlds is dogshit.
>Outer Worlds nominated for GOTY
>Starfield isn't
I really hate that by the concept of Dorito Pope pouring infinite money and celebs into this shit, everyone thinks its like THE OFFICIAL game awards.
in my humble opinion they should really have 10 GOTY nominees instead of 6
wheres starfield?
shartfield getting left out was the correct choice
AC6 should have been on the list but I'm not surprised at all that it isn't
In my humble opinion they should just cancel the awards show this year
>Nintendo vote split between mario and zelda
theres no way BG3 doesnt win goty
Two of these don't even deserve to be on here
>Alan Wake 2
Fricking movie
>RE4
Old game
what a shit year it was
>no FF
Square Enix lost.
Probably the best and most fair 6 GOTY nominees since they started doing the Game Awards
Just 100% Wonder yesterday. Easily my GOTY choice right there.
Do spiderman2 and totk need these to sell? They can put FF16 and starfield here but they may be afraid of crazy fans.
Best indie choices are fricking garbage.
Were coffin and pizza tower?
Insane how pic related wasn't in
Nominees are selected by major media outlets anon. In other words, IGN, GameSpot and such. Do you really think they'd select actual video games except for on complete accident?
Where the frick is void stranger.
The REAL tragedy. They left out kino.
>comparing a shitty meme game that barely anyone played because le incest to fricking PT
lmao, kys
Cocoon's a masterpiece, and Sea of Stars is an instant classic.
World of horrors is more unique than the 2 you mention.
Bombrush cyberfunk is fun af, and it been 15 years since I game similar to that was made.
Pizza tower is like Bombrush but with a twist compare to the original.
Hahaha, no seriously, where the frick is Bomb Rush at?
At least pizza tower made it in debut but I guess it's a little too indie to hang with that list which all probably got way more press.
>too late for Mario RPG to get any nominations
A shame. It's still one of the greatest games ever.
the gay porn visual novel is going to win

2023 FRICKING SUCKS
I refuse to believe grown adults would not only play baby children games like Zelda and Mario, but actually say they they’re game of the year. put starfield up there for christs sake.
It is up there though. It's just invisible and you can't vote for it, like FF16.
It's over already, Todd. Just accept your defeat with grace and dignity.
>baby children games like Zelda and Mario
Way to out yourself you broccoli-headed homo. Every decade, a new generation of kids spout the same thing. I've been witnessing it since the '90s, and you little homosexuals are like a broken record.
Let's be honest, it'll be Baldur's Gate 3 or Spiderman 2 because those two are the most recent good games in people's memory, they haven't had time to be soured on them.
Geoff must love that the surge of videogame adaptations has given him the opportunity to make the show more about movies.
It just hit me that we’re probably going to see an early Sonic 3 teaser here
It's incredible how HBO's Last of Us show got so "hyped" then immediately disappeared like a silent fart in the wind after it ended. I don't even think anyone knew a Gran Autismo or Twisted Metal adaptation came out either fricking kek. Verification not required.
>Twisted Metal
This one is decent if you can push through the first 2 episodes
Reminder to frick TLOU and Druckmann
>voting a movie for children instead of actual television
hopefully your wife's boyfriend lets you stay up to watch the game awards
>TLOU
>actual television
>actual television
I heard TLOU had an episode that was literally just two old men making out for an hour lmao GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY
Imagine going back to 2007 and telling your buddy THIS is what gaming would look like in 15 years
>some spider man game (they already had several spider man games released in 6th gen)
>some generic western fantasy game (they already had things like World of Warcraft)
>Resident Evil
>Mario/Zelda
Only thing missing is Halo.
HOLY SHIT RE4R doesn't even have any copmetitors HAHAHAHA
Alan Wake is only good shit in here.
No Shadow of the Erdtree release date at the show = I thank my reformed rabbi Bill Clinton on stage
AC6 will win best action game, its only competitor there is hifi rush
And they need to throw from a bone and segue into whatever exclusive teaser miyazaki has prepped for TGA
God I can’t wait until BG3troons mass rope when they find out Alan wake 2 wins GOTY
BG3 will win because Alan Wake and Nigggerman 2 will split the votes between each other. Likewise TotK and Mario Wonder will split their votes. RE4R will simply not get enough attention and BG3 will win.
As if 10% of the vote being from the audience would sway the 90% of jurors picking BG3 in every category anyway
>90%
You're delusional if you think they're counting votes at all
This entire "event" is literally just a slideshow of commercials. It's the superbowl without an actual sport to accompany it.
Good point. BG3 is winning regardless. Would have been hilarious if Starfield were there to potentially cause MASSIVE meltdown, but it's fine.
In what universe does Alan Wake 2 deserve anything it's a genuinely bad game
>it's a genuinely bad game
Why?
>if TOTK wins, there will be guaranteed asshurt
>if BG3 wins, there will be guaranteed asshurt
there's no easy way out of this
Mario Wonder wins, every journalist and corporation who pushes for cinematic AAA slop is asshurt, and tendies have a field day as the Marvel quip flower is spammed on the catalog
Awful as generic Wonder is, I'd rather have it over any of these ""games"" because at least its a fricking game.
If Alan Wake wins will Geoff Keighley do this dance on stage?
I didn't care for the fbi chick much but this level made the game worth it
>Sign in to vote
Why?
This is literally a data harvesting scheme. The only vote that matters is the board's, and that's determined by marketing factors rather than anything to do with the game itself.
WHO?????????
zoomers are so fricking gay
>Ironmouse
Vtuber and will probably win
The rest look like massive homosexuals so I'm gonna assume European streamers.
I just pick Ironmouse because i pity her and her illness, imagine not being able to go outside with risking dying
She makes 6-7 figures a year and she's a fricking Puerto Rican. That's a family's lifetime of money each year there. Also there's no fricking proof that her giga bedridden illness is even real. Reminder that a twitch streamer named ZiloanOP got banned a decade ago after faking being in a wheelchair for years and he only got caught because he had a facecam and he stood up like a moron.
>ZiloanOP
he didn't fake it though
I only know Iron Mouse because she's an anime girl. I don't watch her but I know about her
where forsen?
it got updated
Vote Ironmouse because she's a chad.
>PMG
aren't they the gays who criticized Valve for not being diverse?
Yes
Is it bad I only know the vtuber because she is sick?
>Out of all the fricking more popular vtuber they pick Ironmouse
>PMG made like a total of 5 video this year
>Quackity Youtube channel hasn't uploaded a video since 2022 August
>Sprreen is just Spanish only youtuber and more like a random video one then gaming
>Sypherk is Fortnite youtuber #45465481
the only vtubers more popular than her are the hoe-girlve girls and they completely filter normalgays because they're idols who avoid interacting with men and sing love songs while streaming on no mans land (aka youtube streaming)
The Schizo Bunny is on Twitch and would have been a better pick
Additionally, they filter people because:
>Most Hoe-girlve VTubers only speak Japanese
>Most of the English ones are deranged
never heard any of those. bunch of literal whos
The queen is getting the recognition she deserves
Only Mouse deserves it for not being some fortnite esports Black person
I honestly would have replaced Mario Wonder with HiFi Rush, would love to see the underdog win GOTY like how It Takes Two won in 2021
>not a game
>meh
>not a game, not even a new not-a-game, a DLC at most
>a 'remake' of 20 year old game
>an ad
>another DLC sold as a new game
grim
Mario or RE4 I guess. Not that it matters. Last of they/them part 2 won't GOTY and Dragon Age inquisition beat Bayo 2. These award shows are pointless. I learned a long time ago that video games aren't made for people like me anymore.
I'm running a giveaway in a discord server im im but the caveat is the users have to vote for Totk at a chance to win $50 gift card
TOTK will win.
If Spider-Man beats Zelda in the action adventure category this shit is rigged woke shit.
everyone shitting on ac6 should kill themselves, only decent game this year
>decent
You're right, it really is a 6/10 game.
Your votes matter here about as much as they matter in actual elections.
I hardly pay attention to this anyways because the games I end up liking the most don't show up and the community votes don't really carry any weight so it all comes down to who paid the biggest amount of cash. Pretty good for shitposting purposes at least.
>Pretty good for shitposting purposes at least.
I got my smug bear reaction images ready
So why is Spiderman in like every fricking category?
Sony bias
Happened to GOW2 and TLOU2
Slow year
Sony spends nine figures on marketing for their big tentpole releases and Geoff needs a cut of that in order to keep the grift going.
Spiderman 2 is going to win every single thing it's nominated for because normies love that shit.
Sweet Baby. Same reason why Alan Wake 2 is.
You think they help the fricking game award choose the nominees?
That would be a fricking huge scandal if they did...
Alan Wake is a million times better than typical Snoi movie game #6 gorillion and I say this as someone who absolutely despised playing as the negress.
Same for BG. Absolutely pozzed, but I can't deny it was a good game. Spider-Man 2 was not only pozzed, it was a shit moronic game which zero originality or anything new to add.
Sony paid for it.
Sweet Baby jesus!
Only noteworthy Sony release so they have to suck it off
Man.
Games fricking suck nowadays.
>alan woke 2
>balfur's gay 3
>spider-cuck 2
>resident evil 4 demake
>super mario bros wonder how many times we can still cash on this
>the legend of asset flips: tears of the cashgrab
gaming is dead
Gaming isn't dead. Just stop paying attention to western developed games or looking at what's popular. Plenty of great games released this year
I wonder why every one is calling Zelda an assets flip and not Spiderman...
Because journalists suck Nintendo's dick more so than Sony. Spiderman's meta critic score isn't even that good
Alan Wake 2 is the only game on this list that actually uses videogames as a medium to an substantial or meaningful degree. Which means it won't win, because gamers and morons on Ganker don't think of videogames that way, and they're ultimately still homogenized formulas that exist to trigger people's dopamine more efficiently than toys.
Don't care if I get called a pseud. Industry speaks for itself. When people are saying stuff like "Baldurs Gate is so good because it's finally a REAL RPG!!!" You know that people only want games for trying to fit properly into whatever specific and narrow box of arbitrary characteristics they have chosen to value.
I liked when labels, notions, and preconceptions didn't exist as much. Where games like Classic Tomb Raider couldn't easily be fit into a genre because it made it. And nothing to come after has ever played like it. When Silent Hill 2 proved that videogames itself, as a medium are special not simply for its gameplay, but the almost tangible experience it could instill, an experience that simply wouldnt be the same as a movie, where you were navigating and trying to understand a strange world and strange circumstances. When games like Prince of Persia Sands of Time thought it would be cool to make the character and story feel more personal and lively by having the Prince narrate the story himself and insist that "No No No, that's not how it happened" whenever he died. When Dark Souls 1 decided to try and make a robust, and cohesive hostile enviroment, where every push to the next bonfire managing your estus and navigating dark complex areas, felt like fighting for your life to progress. To find something new, to satiate that curiosity and sense of discovery and continue to press on through harsh conditions, and varied structures filled with a number of unique traps and enemies always ready to greet you.
Today. TR would be called clunky, slow, boring. SH2 a moviegame. SoT is marvel/disneyesque and DS1 simple and tedious.
Didn't read
Write a book and publish it, homie
I voted Destiny 2 for best community support.
I have played none of these games, but from what i have gleaned from videos and online discussions, the Zelda game. Resident Evil 4 is a remake and shouldn't have been nominated.
>Alan Wake II
I'll give the game credit where credit is due. I can see it winning the art direction award due to its mix-media but it does not deserve GOTY.
>Baldur's Gate 3
Honestly the best game of the bunch. Plus it would be satisfying to see it win after so many throughout the game industry whined that achieving the game's success is impossible because you gotta nickle and dime your players.
>Spider-man 2
Haven't played it. Have no interest in it. I don't image it did anything revolutionary or anything noteworthy outside of being a solid game.
>Resident Evil 4
It has to be a joke that RE4 was even nominated for GOTY, right? It did nothing but polish the original game a bit and add some mini-games.
>Super Mario Bros.: Wonder
Nothing revolutionary or noteworthy about this either. It's just another Mario game with this year's "wacky gameplay mechanic".
>LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom
This is the only game I think will give Baldur's Gate 3 a "run for it's money". It didn't necessary do anything unique or different from BotW other than adding the ability to build things. Which again...Isn't something we haven't seen before. But I can see the media giving it GOTY anyway just because it's Nintendo.
>has to be a joke that RE4 was even nominated for GOTY, right?
Last I checked RE4 on PC has higher reviews on steam than BG3. What are you kn about? BG3 isn't anywhere near as polished as RE4 Remake
Is BG3 really that good? Do I have to play the first two games to understand it? Is the LGBT shit really that prevalent or can you ignore it?
Its good if you like rpgs and shit. 3 only makes references to the first ones but its a standalone story. I have not encountered a single LGBT thing in the game.
>Is BG3 really that good
Not really if we're being honest. It's one of the better games to come out this year, yes (especially the first Act of the game), but that says a whole lot more about the quality of games released this year than anything about BG3.
I only pirated it, but yeah it's pretty good. The LGBT amounts to all the love interests being playersexual and a lesbian couple that you can murder if you're doing an evil run.
Its good, but not "the besterest game ever made" good like too many people try to puff it up as. It begins to go downhill pretty quickly after Act 1, due to the lack of polish, lack of QA, rewrites, and cut content in Act 2 and 3.
If anything, you have to play the first 2 games (Divinity Original Sin 1-2) to understand why it's not good.
SF6 will win fighting game category. Mk1 was a nothing burger and disappointment and had almost no impact
>Mk1 was a nothing burger and disappointment and had almost no impact
Yeah but which game had a bigger commercial budget?
You have to think like a western marketing parasite. Plus Japanese games are icky, it'd be a bad look for TGA to be giving awards to something problematic like that.
Normies love MK for the story mode and world tour was garbage.
Capcom/Street Fighter gays already crying and coping before the awards even begin. Don't worry, you guys will still have Steamcharts to argue with and jerk off about how SF6 is the best FG ever.
AC6 should've been nominated solely because it has gameplay unlike Alan Wake
I hope BG3 wins solely to force Swen to release the definitive edition faster to finish a finished game. I'll pirate the game again when that happens.
A moviegame, a pozzed moviegame and a remake should never be there. What a steaming pile of shit.
>Had no marketing push whatsoever, was announced and launched on the very same day, essentially a shadowdrop
>was a competently new IP, not beholden by being in a series
>a completely unique take on a genre being a rhythm based beat em up game
This game is the most unique thing we had in years but its such a shame it won't be anywhere near in the GOTY category just because of big budget sequels like Spiderman 2 and Tears of the Kingdom which is not at all unique and is very derivative of their previous game.
>a rhythm based beat em up game
That's exactly why no one liked it; rhythm games and other genres don't mix.
The only reason you're shilling HFR so hard is out of sheer contrarianism.
>white male protag
fricking yikes, has no business being near TGAs
Agreed. Tears of the Kingdom should be disqualified.
Don’t worry, he’s gay.
I refuse to give any FF nomination my vote, purely because Square Enix gays are some of the most obnoxious people on this board.
Absolutely fricking based. It doesn't matter what schizo a side is on because a schizo will always have "anti-schizos" who are just as annoying. In all honestly, hey could very well be the same "people".
FF gays aren't square enix gays.
They hate each other.
>Slop of the year award

No shitposting, im just very curious why you chose your goty
Elden Ring
When I played it last year, I just went with the boring sword and shield setup (bastard sword and that golden whatever shield.) When I played it again this year, it was a lot more fun to start out as the naked class and find use whatever equipment and armor I could find, and create my build around that. Ended up with an INT build and when I got the Dark Moon Blade, I knew it was my GOTY even though it came out last year
Pizza Tower.
The entire finale is fricking cathartic as frick, Peppino's rage fueled rampage through the boss rush into the final escape sequence and Bye Bye There is quite possibly the greatest victory lap in a video game.
>No Starfield
fricking Snoy propagandists
So Mario is the only game from the goty nominees I haven't played. should I get it? Is it actually good?
Its probably the best 2d platformer ever made
You should play more videogames.
Probably the best 2D Mario, but still worse than Tropical Freeze and Celeste.
>celeste
I can smell the axewound
Its easily the best 2D platformer in the last 5 years or so
This thread has been taken over by Barry Unger. Bullets, babes and shaped charges will come your way but only if you reply EXPLOSIVE
and of course it's just normieshit
And? What non-normalgay games even came out this year that you would nominate?
SO2R.
AC6 dumbass.
spoken like a true normalgay
AC6 is a normalgay game, anon
yea sure, all 2 million normies bought it
>errr AC6 outsold Sekiro so it's a massive success
>erm actually it only sold 2 million copies so it's my super niche and secret gem
choose one
>Pfft, of course broadly popular games would be nominated for game of the year. How pedestrian.

Honestly, Wo Long deserves to be on that list over FF16. I found the bosses in Wo Long to be a lot more fun that most of the bosses in FF16 and it has more RPG mechanics than FF16
FF16 and Wo Long both belong in the action game category.
Sure but the VGAs sort of include some action-RPGs (like Elden Ring) in the RPG category. So if Elden Ring is an action RPG, I'd say Wo Long is too
FF16 is far more of a pure action game though, there's functionally no RPG elements in it at all so it should probably just be in action-adventure with God of War Ragnarok and the like
Baldur's Gate 3 > Zelda > Alan Wake 2 > RE 4 > Spider Man > Mario
I don't think RE4 belongs here honestly. It's more of a remaster than a remake.
Solid list. TotK will probably win and it won't bother me when it does but BG3 winning would be a nice surprise.
can someone please explain me why ac6 and ffxvi weren't nominated when they were highly acclaimed and massively popular games? no instead we get a movie, a remake, and two nintendo games, wtf is this shit.
FF16 sucks dick. If it was turn based like BG3, it would have a guaranteed spot
BG3 is only overrated because of it's narrative(that is shit and only jerked off because gamers have dogshit standards, don't read, and are manchildren), and because of all the gayshit in it, which modern subhumans love. No-one gives a flying frick about the "gameplay", which is why 90% of "discussion" about it mostly involves talking about which character someone is turned on by. And no, dialogue choices isn't gameplay.
lol
Great responses. Expected from people who consoom shit like BG3.
lmao
you didn't play the game
True unfortunately
BG3 will win. literally bulletproof with all le wholesome degeneracy in it. lineup makes sense besides RE4 remake. that shit was soulless garbage
FF16 was shit
wrong - if everything about it wasn't mediocre or subpar or braindead easy, it would've had a chance. The story of a Final Fantasy game is all that matters, and 16's was the worst part of the entire game
Because both were shit.
Just kidding, that's not the reason, seeing as every nominated game is also shit.
desu, I think nowadays if your game doesn't end up on GOTY it should be considered worth playing.
I wouldn't touch any of this shit recommended because the amount of bribery that would be needed for your game to end up here is insane (and usually down to ""journalists"" and groups like Night Media dictating whats allowed.)
Alan woke 2 doesn't deserve to be there.
Wonder especially doesn't deserve to be there.
RE4 shouldn't make the cut based on being remake of a game that didn't need one with bad voice acting and cut content.
Spider-homosexuals 2 is a fricking joke.
TotK is without a doubt the biggest technical masterpiece in this list of mostly buggy things that shouldn't have made it past QA.
They're going to give it to Baldur's Gate 3 because
A.They already gave a GOTY to BotW
B.The normal western dev bias
C.It released after TotK
D.Journos are a bunch of degenerate sexpests that love disgustingly unattractive women that look like low effort transvestites and zoophilia.
I don't care too much because I'd still say that buggy piece of isometric shit absolutely deserves 2nd place, the cali-homosexuals who decide just love it more than I do.
big props to not nominating Starfail.
just read
>Skyrim has passed Starfield in player count just 2 months after release
I didn't think the L would be that large.
If any of you had even a sliver of hope left for TESVI, now is the time to actually give up.
>They're going to give it to Baldur's Gate 3 because
E.Jim Ryan bought up the awards show for one final impotent middle finger.
Instead of just admitting that totk is a shit asset flip DLC, tendies will blame the SJW boogeyman. Sad. They were bragging for 6 years and shilling these awards shows because 2017 was a garbage year for games. Top kek
>Journos are a bunch of degenerate sexpests that love disgustingly unattractive women that look like low effort transvestites and zoophilia.
This
>this will be the second time in Todd's life where his flagship game will lose GOTY to a better rpg and go home without a single award
Post your face when
At least Fallout 4 managed to get nominated, what the frick happened with Starfield
TOTK about to make the world seethe
Why do you guys say "lol" when you're clearly angry?
Only a angry person would be irritated enough to make a post like yours.
I'm not angry
Well if I am it's your fault
>out of 6 nominees, 4 are straight-up remakes/rehashes of older games and the other 2 are still sequels
When did originality die, exactly?
fires of rubicon and pic related are only true goty's everything else is normie shit or pozzed ESG propaganda.
Either Bg3 wins GOTY, or TotK wins GOTY the others don't stand a chance.
And in both cases an actual fricking game wins. I personally would pick TotK but if BG3 won I'd be totally at peace with that too.
Now if something like Spiderslop 2 randomly won. Oh boy...
Alan Wake 2, let's go. I'm surprised something with such a strange and experimental narrative even got made in the current landscape of the industry.
Anything but Slop-Man 2
Everyone knows TOTK doesn’t even deserve the nomination.
What's the least homosexual game on this list?
A Space for the Unbound
terra nil is comfy
Chants of Sennaar is one of the most unique puzzle games I've played recently and the theme is cool too. You're playing as a dude exploring the Tower of Babel and you can't communicate with anyone because of the whole Tower of Babel thing, so you have to try and piece together your own dictionary to know what the frick is going on.
I cant even vote because it keeps signing me out, what israelitery is this?

The froggay is right.
Broken clocks are always right twice in one day.

do i give diablo 4 the accessibility award because its a game for morons?
gave it to SF6 because of modern controls
It's got a lot of options for cripples so I gave them the nomination.
Thew two categories I'm most invested in are Pizza Tower winning best indie debut because it deserves it and D2 winning best community support because LOL.
When will Ganker stop seething over totk? A simple game broke them for half year already geez

I only wish they would rank them too so Zelda can lose multiple times. 🙂
Someone feels threatened.
