The Game Awards 2023 - December 7th

[MadMaxHellfire]

Does it usually get nominated?

do you really think those baboons would understand a single screen of fm?

 

[Infinitron]

The only game awards to give shit about are RPGCodex ones.

Often literally.

Its like Baldur's Gate 3, except your party has 30 people in it, and they each have 30 attribute scores, and they get pissy and dramatic even more often than BG3 chars.

Who nominates the nominators?

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Who nominates the nominators?

Panel of circlejerking cocksuckers. The inner circle of game journalists.

Ah! wait, nominators! Geoff and Kojima-san? They are gay pals from what I've seen on the Game Awards.

If I heard 10 years ago that BG3 was the frontrunner to win GOTY, made a shit ton of money and arguably pulled cRPGs into the mainstream, and that I didn't give a shit, I'd be very confused.

But here we are. Strange times.

Baldur's Gate was always a vehicle of pulling mainstream into the genre, particularly thanks to its friendly UI, and in the case of BG2, fucking underage girls

Tyranicon cares so little about the game he made a parody game and mentions how he doesn't give a shit about BG3 all the time. The hate-boner is strong in him. Apathy looks different

I wouldn't say I hate BG3.

My current (and very balanced stance) is that it's a well-made game. On a technical side it's an excellent representation of 5e with high production value. My complaints are entirely the juvenile writing, narrative, "themes," and whatever the hell Act 3 was supposed to be.

My parody game is going to thoroughly rake BG3 over the coals for this.

I should also add I finished the game twice.

 

[Terenty]

Only good thing that will come out of this cringefest is Death Stranding 2 trailer

 

[Fedora Master]

Honestly, I just want to see BG3 inflict extreme butthurt on the normie retards who want recycled shit like TOTK & Spiderman 2 to win.

Seeing a turn-based game come away with it will be joyous.

Because BG3 isn't the normiest of normie games. Sure.

Unfortunately, turn-based combat will never get appreciated and mainstream while overdose on cut-scenes and cinematic effects will.
As always with Bioware and Bioware look alike, the worst aspects of their games become mainstream.

 

[Gerrard]

I don't hate BG3, I just hope that everyone involved in its making dies a painful death.

 

[King Crispy]

Why is there no "Best Online Gaming Community" award?

Surely we'd be a shoo-in.

 

[duskvile]

How many new gameplay trailers we'll see this year?

 

[OttoQuitmarck]

Oh God, I just saw the sim/strategy category. Jesus christ. This was a bad year for us sim/strategy enjoyers.

Jagged alliance 3 is decent and certainly beats anything in the prestigious awards nominees.

Yea I guess it technically isn't sim/strategy. Not sure why it didn't get nominated for anything though.

 

[The Wall]

How many new gameplay trailers we'll see this year?

0 or less. This is Western entertainment in 2023. Purpose: repeat to you 1000x how much you're: unimportant, weak and conquered. These "games" are as much games as Soviet propaganda posters were art

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Former Destiny 2 Community Manager & Co-Lead of Accessibility at Bungie (impacted by layoffs)

(tbh despite the blue hair, the weekly reports she wrote were pretty harmless, the guy was 700% wokier)

 

[Shig]

It's uplifting to see Geoff not contemplating suicide anymore after having to drag ass through torment and anguish to get his passion project off the ground.

 

[karoliner]

 

[Unkillable Cat]

They could create a 'Best Remake'-category, except virtually every game released this every year would qualify, and Nintendo would win it every time.

A little too much on the nose, perhaps?

I hope Swen wears that full suit of armor to the show, has to sit in it for three hours, and then doesn't win in the end. Three hours of sweating and discomfort for nothing. But we all know that won't happen, that lanky dork will win all the awards this year.

He kinda deserves some awards. He took larian from smallish diablo knockoff indie developer to hueg indie bestest rpg developer, while seemingly staying true to his vision and making the games he wants to make. Not sure if BG3 is the actual dreamgame he was hinting about building towards all these years, but regardless the man has done well.

It has probably also killed the whole "turn based = boring" shtick for a while at least.

I still don't like BG3, but it is mostly less offensive to me than bioware ever was. There are many worse ways that power vacuum could have been filled.

He does deserve rewards, that's true, but I just can't bring myself to like Divinity games or BG3, they're too goofy, and BG3 went a step ahead in the cringe department. The systems are good (despite 5e being boring), the world seems nicely designed, there are many ways to solve quests etc. but I can't even bring myself to finish the game because of cringe companions and writing.

And I don't really agree with the Bioware statement. I never played DAI or ME Andromeda, but even the worst Bioware writing is still better than whatever Larian did in the last decade. I actually prefer DOS1 because the writing isn't front and center, they made a mistake hiring all those writers for DOS2, including that Gamespot guy.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

What was the best selling game of this year?

That's the one that will win GOTY.

 

[NecroLord]

Death Stranding 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Tell that to nuXcom. 3/4 of turn-based combat in games released since, use the retarded 2AP system.
