TwinIon Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Pretty good list. My vote probably goes to TotK, but it's not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Street Fighter 6 should have made it ahead of Resident Evil 4. It'd feel weird voting RE4 GOTY in 2023 when it left it biggest mark 17 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOTK and BG3 are the clear front runners, but I could see a scenario where they don't actually steal away most GOTYs. It's never been easier to champion an underdog. Maybe that's also a reason why BG3 wins. It was an underdog until it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Spider-Man 2 should have been bumped for a handful of other games. Armored Core, Lies of P, Future Redeemed, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armored Core, Lies of P, Future Redeemed, etc. Did you play it? As great as Future Redeemed is, its probably not GOTY material. Systems, characters, combat, plot connections and series payoff are fantastic. But the enviornments are the least expansive in the series, and some of the linear bits really aren't great. It's a step up from Torna since they didn't recycle places from the main game, but still. Also the side quests. They're all pretty bog standard and inconsequential, as opposed to the Hero quests in XB3 proper. It's a wonderful little game though, no doubt. More open world games need to steal from it. But none will, because game developers don't have time to make it through the entire series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nublood Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Definitely not TotK for me. Game just felt like glorIfied DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It’s TOTK and it’s not even close. I’m still cracking up at the replies on Twitter whining about FFXVI getting robbed. Quite possibly the most boring game I’ve ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naa, it's absolutely close with BG3 in the running and I even lean BG3. But both are generational games that happened to come out in the same year.

But seriously, BGIII is better in just about every way imaginable. I know that's just my opinion but it's still the right opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armored Core, Lies of P, Future Redeemed, etc. I think Spider-Man 2 easily deserves to be up there. If there is one I would bump off it would be easily be RE4. I never loved RE4 as much as most, but even if you do it's still a remake, which should probably be its own category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the complaint, but really, roughly 1/3 of your time in TOTK is spent exploring things you've seen in BoTW. That's not to say there's no faults with the new content either. But I haven't played any expansion DLC to a game that added so much. I've yet to play Spider-Man 2, but I'd question why a similar criticism isn't being leveraged against it (containing the same location a 3rd time) if ToTK's redundancies are supposedly overkill. There's things ToTK could have still done better to midigiate the been-there-done-that feel. The battery system is far too limiting, especially in the early game, but even in the late game. All grounded vehicles should have taken much less charge to run, and vehicular weapons should deal more damage. Having your vehicle die after 100 yards and not kill anything but grunts totally dampened my desire to build something cool. I'd rather be horseback, which is a shame. On the positive, they took away the guardians. That takes away a huge would-be pain point about exploring the map again. The thing they put in as a replacement is cool, and not as frequent of an issue to deal with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 lol at a remake being on the list TOTK is like 50% the same game as BOTW. Shouldn't win because of that. Especially with how long it took to release after BOTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Man, Lies of P is gonna get robbed. But like, how you gonna put it in best RPG? I mean, it has stats but that shit is an action-adventure game. And the best ROLE Playing Video Game this year HAS to go to BG3. Like, it's even nuts that FF16 was in best RPG when it is just a longer-than-usual action-adventure game. I want LoP to get awards, but I didn't even vote for it in best RPG. That would just be a lie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I didn't vote for it was when Ben Starr was up against Neil Newborn. Astarion is great, fantastic, but I thought Clive was just a step above and that is partly because he is the player character. Out of all the awards, I hope Ben Starr wins that one, but Neil winning won't be a letdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
