skillzdadirecta Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Like 2007, or 2023? A lot of really great games coing out this year that I can see game of the year being a bit of a struggle. Also a lot of solid "second tier" games too... what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 For me, I can say that it definitely is! TOTK FF XVI Alan Wake II Diablo IV Starfield Baldur’s Gate III Cyber Punk: Phantom Liberty Armored core VI possibly Elden Ring DLC good lord, that’s a pile of Vic treats! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I'm a fan of it so far. RE4, XVI, and Lies of P. Usually, I only get two new games a year. Now I'm looking at 3 and it's only halfway over. Course, not sure if I'll get more than that but even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I literally don’t remember when games released years ago. But it’s a good year. Zelda alone for GOTY, then there’s some other great releases arriving later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Assassin's Creed missed in here. Dead Space remake. Spiderman 2. By December 31st, my birthday, it most likely will be the best year in gaming ever. I'm not putting on my 2007 shades pretending that was better. If Starfield lives up to the hype, then yes, best year ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Currently I am inundated with stuff I want to play and not nearly enough time. Diablo + SF + TOTK is the best trio I can remember in a long, long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I'm ready for Sonic Origins Plus and am curious how FFXVI ends up being! Had no time to jump into Diablo IV or SF6, and Octopath Traveler II is on my list of things to buy later. Spider-Man 2 looks fan-fucking-tastic. And the amazing thing is once the year is over... FFVII Rebirth and Apollo Justice Trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 People mention 2007 a lot but I'm partial to 2001. 97 also great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 A few other notables slated the rest of this year not mentioned yet. Pikmin 4 Sea of Stars Sonic Superstars Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Lords of the Fallen Remnant II Alone in the Dark Forza Motorsport Atlas Fallen Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Ghostrunner II And a plethora of games with softer 2023 release dates. Silksong. Hyper Light Breaker. Mina the Hollower. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. The Talos Principle 2. Pacific Drive. Stalker 2. The Plucky Squire. And so on.

LOL I was planning on making this thread tonight Yes this will go down as one of the greatest years in gaming if not THE year. I've barely seen any talk of indies in here but Blasphemous 2, Dredge, Silksong (if it makes it), Mina (also if it makes it) and Gestalt should all be big hits.

crispy4000 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 GoTY is definitely going to Zelda unless Starfield or FF16 pulls a crazy upset. No game this year will match it in player expression and freedom. I could see some outlets running with SF6 or one of those two regardless, but it won’t be the norm.

gamer.tv Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I don’t know if a year will ever top 1998 for me - partly as it will also be battling against a hefty amount of nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I've been eagerly awaiting this fall's season of games & it's amazing that not only will it not disappoint, but be even bigger than any of us imagined it could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 tbh, 2020 is probably one of the best years in recent memory and I think deserves to be talked about in that light. Animal Crossing: New Horizons Astro's Playroom Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Demon's Souls Remake DOOM Eternal Dreams Fall Guys Final Fantasy 7 Remake Ghost of Tsushima Hades Half-Life: Alyx Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Microsoft Flight Simulator Nioh 2 Paper Beast VR Persona 5 Royal Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 Resident Evil 3 Remake Sackboy: A Big Adventure Spelunky 2 Street Fighter V: Champion Edition Streets of Rage 4 Super Mario 3D All-Stars The Last of Us Part 2 Two-Point Hospital Yakuza: Like A Dragon This is excluding a lot, but... it's a lot. And considering the shitty year that was, we needed this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zelda will run away with the bulk of the awards. I wouldn’t sleep on Baldur’s Gate 3 though if Larian pulls it off. Could certainly swing several outlets and like you said SF6 will be a hip pick. There will be a Zelda backlash - the narrative is sitting there if they wanna use it (dated hardware, been there done that, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t wanna sound like I think it’ll be like a significant thing that shifts publications from largely giving that game GOTY. It’ll be like 90 percent of places giving Zelda the award. I just think there’ll be a few persnickety pieces about how there are actually better games than Zelda this year (not saying I personally agree or disagree). I’m not sure the ongoing creations will influence things more than just keeping that game in the limelight a little longer than otherwise would be the case (which isn’t nothin). Hell there are still BOTW vids coming out that are pretty cool. The average player is gonna look at that and be like wow that’s really cool, but if they’re anything like me they’re gonna be like welp let’s hop in my car / airplane that works about 1/4 as well as I’d hoped.

ShreddieMercury Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Time will tell if it lives up to being one of the best, but certainly for my tastes it has been better than any year since probably 2017 (another all-time great). With RE4, Zelda, Hi-Fi Rush, Alan Wake 2, and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, I have/will purchase more new games in a single year that I have in maybe the last 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
