    I still think the game that took both me and pretty much everyone by surprise was Hi-Fi Rush. In a gaming climate that saw a heavy downpour of open world games, it was a fresh change of pace to get a well constructed, linear story. It was even better to get some of the most kickass rhythm-action hack and slash gameplay the like of DMC5 that was not only hot off the heals of Metal: Hellsinger, but didn't take itself nearly as seriously. Definitely my pick of the litter.

    I didn't, in retrospect, like how it screws up with its own lore and botw's story. It's story has way too many flaws for me to fully enjoy it. It has very high story highlights, but also very low lows.
    And i hate that it "ruins" botw by "making botw look like tech demo". Botw doesn't deserve to be sullied by the sequels story AND by fans.

    I'm torn because I think that Baldur's Gate 3 is a monumental achievement in gaming. And I think it has thrown down the gauntlet to other studios for what RPG's can truly be. But it is flawed, and the computer 'DM' is absolutely lacking that human touch that makes D&D so dynamic and special. I'd just about give it GOTY even so.

  • @Raphe9000
    @Raphe9000 9 месяцев назад +31

    Both BG3 and TOTK are monumental achievements for their respective genres, but I do have to give the edge slightly to TOTK in my book simply because it felt much more polished upon release despite being on a really weak system, whereas I encountered a lot of bugs and performance dips in BG3 come Act 3, some of which pretty greatly impacted the play.
    It's still an amazing game, and I'd consider it GOTY just about any other year, but TOTK definitely slightly edges it out in my book.

    • @Christopher-md7tf
      @Christopher-md7tf 9 месяцев назад +2

      I'm still waiting to even try BG3 because I've read so much negative stuff online about Act 3, e.g. horror stories of people's 140-hour save file basically becoming unusuable. Boggles my mind how it got so much praise for releasing as a supposedly "finished" game. Meanwhile, in my 150 hours in TotK, I encountered exactly *zero* bugs, and that game has some of the most ground-breaking mechanics in any game, ever.

  • @tnecniw

    I would say that Baldur's gate 3 will 100% win.
    It is no doubt in my mind.
    Or at the least it SHOULD win.
    Mostly because TOTK, while a great game, isn't as new.
    It is BOTW with extra added ontop.
    While BG3 is a completely new take and blowing up the gates for CRPG back into the mainstream.
    BG3 is superior and should win.

    The depths being so empty and 90% of the loot being Amiibo costumes from the last game, slightly remixed overworld, and samey sky islands brought it down for me.

  • @Christopher-md7tf
    @Christopher-md7tf 9 месяцев назад +2

    I loved all of these games (except for BG3, which I haven't played yet).
    RE4 Remake modernizes one of the greatest action games of all time and it just feels smooth as butter to play, I also really liked how it used the Dualsense features (and the DLC was also fantastic!). Spider-Man 2 had a great story, the new symbiote powers were dope, and it probably has the best traversal in any Open World game, to the point where I barely used fast travel. Mario Wonder was the breath of fresh air 2D Mario desperately needed and was just an all-around JOY to play from front to back. Alan Wake 2 is an amazingly unique experience that's just so wonderfully weird, creepy, and original, and it improves on the first game so much in literally every single regard whilst also containing maybe the coolest 15-minute sequence in the history of gaming (you know which one I'm talking about).
    And then, there's Zelda. What a fucking triumph of a video game. They took BotW's dedication to player freedom and creativity and turned it up to 11 with some of the most insane mechanics in any video game, ever, while also bookending the game with the most epic opening and ending in the whole franchise. I put 140 hours into this game (without encountering a single bug!) and I've still got loads of stuff to do when I return to it. TotK is my personal GOTY, no doubt about it.

    You talk as though you've played Baldur's Gate 2, but somehow are surprised that it's pulling from D&D? It's always has. The first two games could be turned based entirely, and really still were turned based on the back end, Just not necessarily in how it was presented to the player. It was never not D&D

    • @rpgfan1187
      @rpgfan1187 9 месяцев назад

      Those were my thoughts, exactly. BG 1 & 2 used a sort of real-time system that allowed you to pause to give your party members commands, similar to the combat systems in Planescape: Torment and KotoR (although watered down quite a bit in the latter). The Baldur's Gate games have always been D&D games at their core and are even set in the Forgotten Realms. I imagine most of the people playing BG3 haven't played the first two, so they're not aware of this. It's also possible that they're mistaking the Dark Alliance games for the original two, which would lead them to think that it was a hack n' slash Action RPG in the vein of Diablo.
      I admittedly haven't played BG3 (my computer could not handle that many GB of Storage), but BG2 is my second favorite game of all time behind the original Deus Ex. I'm glad to see that this new game has revived interest in this fantastic franchise and may even lead some gamers to experience the original two games.
      Also, I have to say that Jon Irenicus is still my favorite villain in all of gaming. Getting David Warner to voice him was a stroke of genius.

    Honestly, the only game I've played from 2023 so far is System Shock Remake. I was super hyped for that game and got it on release day. While I do strongly prefer the 1994 original (one of my favorite 4th gen games) for a number of reasons, it was still a solid remake and is definitely more accessible for most gamers than the original version. It would be cool if Nightdive eventually remade more Looking Glass Studios games, as that company was probably my all-time favorite developer (especially on account of the original Thief duology).
    I'm happy to see that BG3 has become such a success. While I haven't played it yet since my computer can't handle that many GB of storage, I'm a fan of the original two games, and BG2 is my second favorite game of all time behind Deus Ex. It's great to see this franchise get more attention, and hopefully it will lead more people to experience the original two games. I still consider Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn to be Bioware's magnum opus, and they never quite captured the same incredible combination of quality and quantity in any of their subsequent games.

  • @MangusMangoman
    @MangusMangoman 9 месяцев назад

    Although I don't think it will win neither, it is criminal that HiFi Rush got 5 nominations and not best directing (when the whole premise of the game is 4 of those nominations working in perfect synchronization, which is insane it actually properly does it) nor GOTY.
    Like really? The jury consider it one of the best in so many categories but not enough for the category of the best overall? Why? Is it because you need a dark narrative or be part of a nostalgic IP to even be considered for that award? Shame on them, honestly.

    • @ClefairyRox
      @ClefairyRox 9 месяцев назад

      TGAs almost always favor high budget, cinematic titles. While usually there's some token indie title that got super popular during the year that makes GOTY nomination (Hades, Celeste, Stray, etc.), the number of quality high budget titles ensured they didn't have space for one this year. The one exception was It Takes Two winning GOTY 2021, and its competition was not super mainstream for the most part (other nominations were Resident Evil Village, Metroid Dread, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Deathloop, and Psychonauts 2).
      I definitely feel bad for lower budget titles like HiFi Rush and Octopath II that got overshadowed or forgotten about because of how stacked this year has been. 4 of the 6 GOTY nominations were released within just a couple months of the 2023 deadline.

BG3 is a great game, but more about new level of quality than meaningful innovations

    • @ClefairyRox
      @ClefairyRox 9 месяцев назад

      In the 9 years The Game Awards have been around, Nintendo won Game of the Year only once, and that was for Breath of the Wild. Given that the Link's Awakening and Skyward Sword remakes didn't get a single nomination that I could find, it's not Zelda bias; people just really, REALLY like Breath of the Wild. And Tears of the Kingdom expands on that game and got extremely rave reviews so it being a nominee is not at all surprising to me.
      I wouldn't call it yet because Baldur's Gate 3 was a massive phenomenon comparable to what happened with Elden Ring (which won GOTY last year). The award could easily go to either.

People are really distracted by the build mechanic. Its great but thats the only thing of note the game has. The story is generic as hell. I just dont get how people can rank it so highly. Its funny how much of a stranglehold zelda and mario games have on people. Take out the nostalgia and the game sits well below BG3.

      @erakfishfishfish 9 месяцев назад

      If it’s a straight 1:1 remake I agree, but remakes provide a studio an opportunity to really build on a game, or even completely overhaul it. It’s kind of like movies-they’re remade all the time, and some even get Best Picture nominations (recent examples: All Quiet on the Western Front, A Star Is Born). If they were a 1:1 remake like Gus Van Sant’s Psycho, yeah, folks won’t be impressed. But if the remake gives itself a reason for being beyond nostalgia and knocks it out of the park, a nom can be deserved. (But, like you, I’d rather see new IP nominated over remakes.)
