To be fair, I only realized now that this is literally a "GAYming awards". My mind ignored the 'y' when I first read it.

 

[Serus]

Holy shit, decline finally lost for once, maybe Codex is not dead yet after all. Get fucked normies

Very optimistic take on the results. Have you looked at % of people who played given game?

Still, congratulations to JA3, winning a Codex GOTY is not easy. It's not very important either but it still is something. I need to play it (and buy it).

While the contarian result is funny, anyone who would give BG3 a 1 is absolutely unserious. I have a nice list of posters whose opinions on games I can just outright ignore.

True, actual fair score would be like ~3, but I had to vote 1 to counteract shills who vote 5 and keep lying about groundbreaking never seen before C&C, just because they hyped the game to heavens before the release, and don't want to admit they fell for the PR like normie consoomer, now after it actually released and turned out to be an average slop.

Fuck you and your fellow goyslop guzzlers.

Dogshit corporate rubber/plastic texture art.
Utterly horrendous britfaggot art student voice acting
Extremely bad story and 'Faerun' setting. BEFORE it was made even more nonsensical by those retards.
Horrible britcuck art student "characters"
feature bloat Furries&Faggots "D&D" """system""" of collecting +1s like sonic running through lines of rings.
zero immersion = zero sense of adventure. zero gameplay, just accumulating power and buttons to press like a cookie clicker.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the absolute WORST rpg I have ever pirated.

 

[EverlastingLove]

All top 3 rpg codex goty are TURN BASED? What year is this?!

Rating for games you haven't even played is such subhuman behaviour that it warrants a tag. And the removal of citizenship.

This. We can all be unserious sometimes, and it takes no great effort, but rating something you don’t have significant game-time with a 1 because of philosophical reasons is just weak beta behavior.

save it for the “theoretical goty” poll

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I'm not convinced there's anything wrong with giving a low score to a game you haven't played, if that game is obviously a turd (e.g. Starfield). Maybe the poll ought to include an "I didn't waste my time with this because it looks like trash" option.

For the record, I only played and voted for one game on the list.

It leads to people countervoting their e-rivals (real or imaginary) so you feel the election was fortified. Incidentally this diminishes JA3's victory.

Congratulations to... JAGGED ALLIANCE 3! Our #1 RPG of 2023!

Somehow, this unlikely event happened twice last year. So the #2 in our GOTY list was Baldur's Gate III. It was a close call, a difference of 0,02 points. Possibly related to 41 people giving BG3 a 1/5 score because they dislike bears or something.... we'll never know.

 

[Viata]

It also assumes that all 41 people gave 1/5 because they dislike bears, not because some of them really disliked the game because, for them, it was a bad game.

 

[Hellraiser]

Truly every vote matters(tm), don't forget to vote!

 

[Darth Roxor]

rating baldur's gate 3 with a 1 is very dangerous to our democracy

No need to assume, I'm looking at the list right now and most of the names were quite vocal about Halsin and their intention of never touching the game

Never heard of boycott? Not mentioning there will be always a group of people who didn't play yet either give 5/5 or 1/5 solely because of agenda. It's a vicious circle, some people vote 5/5, and then others vote 1/5 to counterbalance, and it keeps on tugging. You can see it on imdb with political/leftist/touchy movies.

 

[Infinitron]

You guys downvoted one "twenty years later sequel made by another studio that all the SHILLS say is actually good" only to have another one win in its place. Lol.

Since BG3 is D:OS 3 I can just compare it to previous results.

1.4%/13 people gave D:OS a 1
2%/8 people gave D:OS EE a 1
8%/51 people gave D:OS 2 a 1 (a lot of people were really upset over the armor and initiative systems)
13%/40 people gave BG3 a 1

Since BG3 doesn't have D:OS 2's controversial game systems, the conclusion I come to is that most (I'd say at least half) of the 1-voters belong to the bigot brigade. Perhaps a solid dozen who just really don't like Larian games.

Maxie is right that the year was poor and JA3 winning this poll is some sick joke.
