Armoured Core VI is not nominated for GOTY, sad.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty needs to win Best Narrative.

Please let F1 23 get Best Sports game.

Games for Impact…what?

Hogwarts Legacy got zero nominations is unsurprising. Due if it was nominated for something. Twitter people would have flipped their shit.

Another subpar TGA. GG Doritos Pope.

Hurts to see Destiny being considered for best community support after Bungie laid off almost their entire community support team.

CopernicusQwark,

I think it’s quite telling that Starfield only showed up once, despite being one of the most hyped games of the year. Skyrim and Fallout 3 were both strong GOTY, IIRC, so to me it feels like Bethesda have lost their way.

So many strong games here! I’m a little biased since I’ve not played many of these, but I’m hoping BG3 cleans house.

@cottonmon@lemmy.world avatar

Kind of crazy that Pizza Tower wasn’t nominated for Best Indie.

sigmaklimgrindset, (edited ) do games w Nominees for Game of The Year at TGA 2023

I think this is the first year ever that I have bought, played, and genuinely enjoyed every single GotY nominee. Usually there is at least one or two games I don’t have any interest in.

Edited to add: Also, people may have gripes about RE4 Remake being on the list, but as someone who wasn’t even toilet trained when the original came out, I was so thrilled at playing the remake and getting to experience why people have called it a masterpiece for almost 20 years. I tried to play the Gamecube original but the combat felt so dated that I couldn’t get into it. This was a remake done right, imo.

a_fine_hound,

Interesting take. While I think RE4 is deserving the GotY nom, it didn’t live up to my expectations. I have only played original a couple of years ago and it was a magical experience. I feel that remake lost most of the charm, the story lost good amount of the cheese, the music in the remake is truly a travesty compared to the original. I do like the combat a lot in the remake and parry system is really fun, but I don’t feel the improvement in this regard as significant.

The one thing I love the remake for is Separate Ways, this is such a good campaign, the original was definitely subpar.

Despite my gripes, RE 4 is still pretty high on my GotY list. Not the best survival horror of the year though. Dead Space was absolutely incredible and I hope it wins Audio Design. Alas I have a feeling Hi-Fi Rush is the favorite in this one.

sigmaklimgrindset,

Oh yes, Seperate Ways is great! And I agree with you about the soundtrack, I actually played the Remake with the original soundtrack enabled lol.

But I think I had different expectations of Re4 than most people did. When I played the original I went in to it hearing about how revolutionary the combat system was, and that was what I was focused on the most when I played it. I didn’t care about the atmosphere, or story, or how hot Leon Kennedy is (mostly).

And…it just didn’t click for me. I grew up with modern games and have a hard time going back to older titles because game mechanics have come so far. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, it means that I didn’t “get it”.

Then I played the Remake, and the combat is so smooth compared to a lot of shooters on the market that I finally understand what Re4 was to the market at the time, and why the original is so beloved. It made me want to go back and play the Gamecube version with a reframed perspective, and THAT is why Re4 Remake is a successful remake for me compared to like…Final Fantasy 7.

Sorry for the essay, and I hope that makes a bit of sense. I know my perspective is nowhere near the prevalent one, but I can’t help what I like haha.

a_fine_hound,

Thanks a lot for elaborating! I get your point, in fact recently I tried playing BioShock and the combat was unbearable. I don’t think it was bad, but I simply had to stop after 30 minutes. I think for most old games, if you didn’t play it at the time, you are gonna have a hard time to get into it.

I disagree about FF7 however. I think making a ‘safe’ remake like RE4 or Dead Space is fine to bring the game to the modern audience. But to use a remake as a smokescreen to reimagine the original and in some strange convoluted way make it a sequel as well is so much more up my alley. In the end if you love the original it’s still there.

sigmaklimgrindset,

But to use a remake as a smokescreen to reimagine the original and in some strange convoluted way make it a sequel as well is so much more up my alley. In the end if you love the original it’s still there.

This is a very good point, and I know a very divisive topic in the FF7 community! Thinking on it a bit, I actually do agree with you regarding the concept of the remake, and turning a turn-based RPG into an ARPG is also a pretty interesting!

But like…the gameplay/controls for FF7 feel…not great, and a lot of dialogue/cut scene movement feel so cheesy, lol. I know the original had cheesy moments, but they weren’t fully cinematic cutscenes, so they had a less of a jarring impact on me.

I had also played DMC5 directly before it, and the combat in that game is so fluid, and the cheese worked for me! So from my perspective at the time, SqEnix had turned a great tbRPG into a kind of mid-ARPG with amazing graphics and soundtrack (seriously, everyone looks AMAZING, and the rerecorded tracks from the original game BANG). But that’s it.

Your comment made consider that maybe I should go back and give 7R another try, especially with Rebirth coming out soon. Thanks for the discussion!

SquigglyEmpire,

I never thought I would see a year where Zenimax managed to crank out both an Arkane and a Bethesda release but still got no real traction.

Stovetop,

Wait, what Arkane game was released this year?

Oh god I completely forgot about that pile of live service garbage.

I can’t imagine an scenario where BG3 doesn’t win the GOTY.

JJROKCZ,

Would be a crime if it doesn’t imo, although I heard a lot of praise for Zelda, I’m just not into those games

magic_lobster_party,

I have played Zelda, but not BG3, and I agree that BG3 should win.

taiyang,

S’ok, I’ve played both and I too agree BG3 should win, haha.

sigmaklimgrindset,

The zoomers LOVE Spider-Man tho, I think that could also be a contender

MrMcGasion,

Not a zoomer, but I loved Spider-Man, didn’t play BG3, but I still think BG3 should win. My Spider-Man 2 experience was too buggy for me to consider it for GOTY, the story was great, and if they had delayed the game until next year, I probably would have considered it a contender then.

BG3 was an event though, I’m not really into RPGs but it felt like that game was everywhere like Animal Crossing: New Horizons was in 2020.

sigmaklimgrindset,

Fair! I had the same experience as you (down to having a faulty disc 💀). My friend circle loves Spider-Man 2, though admittedly they are more casual gamers than the people on Lemmy probably. That is definitely biasing my outlook.

Additionally, Spider-Man 2 had the same problem as TotK for me, which is similar gameplay mechanics without fixing the flaws or significant additions/changes from the first game (though ultrahand in TotK is pretty cool…)

GotY for me personally is probably between BG3 or Alan Wake 2 from the list.

Marketing games in 2023: "We're very excited to announce that we have an announcement to make next month!"

More seriously, not the biggest GTA fan, but I hope it lives up to expectations. People have been waiting a decade at this point. Also looking forward to seeing how many times Rockstar will be able to re-release GTA 6 over the next decade.

Damage, do gaming w Official: New Grand Theft Auto Trailer Arriving in December

Who cares at this point

Especially as a PC player

gk99,

Oh boy a slow moving camera panning over some NPCs to show the scenery and some cutscene shots of a game launching a year from now, two years if on PC.

I’m Rockstar disillusioned, that’s the problem with waiting over a decade to put out a sequel, I went from 15 to 25.

upstream,

You should have been older in the glory days.

GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas - in rapid succession.

Followed by GTA IV

Followed by Red Dead Redemption (which I only played after RDR2, because I assumed they’d make a PC-port)

Followed by GTA V

2001, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2013

Then it took until 2018 to get RDR2, and at best we’re seeing GTA VI in 2024.

And let us not forget that we had GTA and GTA2 back in the 90’s. 1997 and 1999.

sub_, do gaming w Official: New Grand Theft Auto Trailer Arriving in December

I’m actually intrigued, not much of GTA player myself, however I want to know:

  • fans reaction, since Rockstar kinda bungled the recent remasters / re-releases of RDR and GTA definitive version
  • Rockstar’s approach to the new game, since I believed that they made lots more of money from GTA Online
  • how the tone / jokes in the game would be. Those satirical jokes about America might not work anymore, since the actual country has become so absurd.
DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

Based on the leaks…. We shouldn’t have to worry too much about the diluting of jokes

hidden or nsfw stuffThey made fun of QAnnon and conspiracy theorists. That female MC has got one hell of a cake btw

bermuda,

I liked GTA V and I think RDR2 was a wild change of pace so I’m interested to see how (if at all) they implement RDR2 style systems into the game. Hopefully that means less GTA:SA/GTA IV chores though. Those SUCKED. I am 100000% going to wait on this one though, after the remasters it really just seems like Rockstar is after cash and nothing else.

I do hope that after the travesty of RDR Online and the sort-of-disaster of GTA Online (it made them a lot of money but people hated it) they learn from their mistakes. I don’t doubt there’ll be an online mode. One of the major problems with GTA Online was just that they kept updating it without a really good direction for it, so maybe this time they’ll start off on the right foot. It seemed that way with RDR Online but they fucked up the economy to the point of no return.

Eh, the actual country has gotten absurd but I think a lot of the GTA V jokes are still very prescient. Just replace the scientology jokes with QAnon jokes.
