Yeah makes no sense I came to the video then thought about this point and now I'm gonna leave lol. Pointless video where he say random shit in circles for 20 minutes...
not that asmongold did anything wrong, just wish that asmongold had 100 different bodies and played all the games in the market, also i was shocked that xqc beat lies of p within like 20 hours in a rather swift fashion.
Honestly, I don't think someone needs to finish or even play all the games on the list to be allowed to vote and have that vote be considered legitimate. After all, we don't have all the time in the world to play all the games to completion. For example for me the Indie game of the year: Out of those six games, after watching other people play them, only a single one seemed interesting enough to make me want to give it a try. If only one of them seemed good enough to make me want to try them out, should that not be proof enough that, for me at least, the others are instantly disqualified for getting my vote?
@@Jack_Rakan They can vote but you can't really talk about a game you haven't played. He would have to have played a decent chunk of it, to form a opinion about it. Because, you can't really form a decent argument without lets say "taking notes".
Yeah it caught my eye on the list and I looked into it and it seems really interesting! I know its a roguelite shooter so I immediately thought of Returnal. Is it anything like that? If so I definitely want to give it a try
@@javik1929 Yeah I watched some gameplay and it doesn't seem similar at all. Doom was actually the first gameplay equivalent it reminded me of haha. It looks pretty fun, it's on my list!
Really hope FFXVI wins the music award, full deserved as Soken was undergoing chemotherapy at the time. I can’t imagining writing 200 songs through all that.
@@noonesp3cialIts not generic, its classic, learn the damn difference lmfao, theres a reason why Japanese game music still popular till this day. They put good fcking resources into it
Alright my vote for music was BG3, but now that I've heard the story behind that, I'm definitely rooting for FFXVI for music, he definitely deserves it.
Putting BG3 in Best indie adventure was really mean its gonna smoke those smaller games. Same thing for putting BG3 in best strategy personally i wouldn't have even put it in that category but its jsut gonna kill pikmin 4 or fire emblem engage or even advanced wars which were all great games

OTK's VGA is valid I guess. He probably doesn't like TGA because non of the games he played this year are nominated in GOTY category. For some of you guys don't know, he played Hogwarts, Remnants2, Lies of P, DiabloIV, FFXVI, Cyberpunk2077, Armored Core6, Jedi Survivor. He missed the GOTY by a mile.
@@Jamgcy TGA not having some titles on their lists probably sparked the idea for them, sure, but it's definitely not about if it's valid or not. Anyone can make their own GOTY list/voting. Personally I just find it funny how narrow Asmon's experience and knowledge about games in general are. You only have so many references, lol. Jokes aside though, I'm glad for his sake that he's been playing a lot of the new games that have come out this year.
asmond a comment i read last year about VGA is if you have professionals on stage you gotta get your people out of their pajamas and i agree. you do you but if youre going to be on the same stage as a professional, you gotta at least try
I, personally, thinks that BG3 is way overrated game. I don't feel a BIG difference between BD3 and DOS2. Its a good game tho, but...ehhh, not that mindblowing, like ppl say. My apologies to the fans🙃
The game itself is vastly underrated tbh Honestly, if the game can streamline its overall structure and tutorial it's lowkey a staple of the genre, just like PoE is for ARPGs.
I think one of the reasons is that the game is very difficult for new players to get in simply because of how overwhelming it can be for new players. So not a lot of new players get in, which means not a lot of people would know about it. I wanna get back in but man I dread thinking about the amount of missed contents I would have to go through
I love that Asmongold is super honed in on loving Holocure, wish he could get Kay Yu on for some content or whatever. The damn game is free and Kay still pushes out really good content for it regularly.
Baulders Gate 3 deserves best music. The other 3 games all had fantastic soundtracks, but baulders gate 3 had song after song of killer music that sticks in your head for days.
I have about 300 hours in BG3 and I can't recall any of the music like I could with DOS2. It is a great score but nothing I listen to over and over. Meanwhile I've listened to Phantom Liberty a zillion times. BG3 winning wouldn't bother me because they deserve all of the awards but the music hasn't grabbed me like it did with DOS2. A lot of Phantom Liberty did grab me.
Dispite the game coming out a mere 3 months ago every single song in the ost has made it to my most listened to songs this year Especially the leagacy of bhaal and "i want to live." And who could possibly forget Raphael's finale act
@@jmalonemythwell thats ok since best music is subjective but as somone with nearly 500 hours on this game who jist veat it for the 2nd time and am going to start a new playthrough again i got to say that i had the opisite expirence having completely memorized the lyrics and melody of nearly every single song in that game because how good they were. First time i remember hearing "the leagacy of bhaal" i restarted my save just before the boss fight just so i could listen to it again. And now its my most listened to song of the whole year acourding to youtube music. Same goes with rapheal's finile act. It was one of the best momments in the game for a lot of people when the music kicks in and rapheal starts singing his own boss theme like a Disney villian. Hell even some of the lesser tracks like "twisted fate," or "gather your allies," or even "bard dance," were very memorable. All around it was a great ost in my opinion but you think differently thats Toatally ok though we all got our own tastes
So many BG3 fanboys. You can like the game without thinking it should win every single category. It's a fine RPG made by a good company, it isn't the be all end all of all content. It drops the ball completely in act 3 because all of the attention was frontloaded. That doesn't make it a bad to give it fair criticism. It isn't perfect.
What I hate about the VGA is that when a game is good like BG3, people think it should win EVERYTHING. So many people spamming BG3 for every single category when in some it's the worst out the available games. Like art direction for example. Why in the world is BG3 up for art direction when every other game available for voting sweeps the floor with it? Kinda makes me happy it's not all chosen by the players. Like at 4:08 you see someone saying "I voted all bg3 kekw". Pretty sad tbh.
Voted a lot for Holocure, not because I'm a simp or anything but because I feel like it improved upon the Vampire Survivors formula the best and is just a bright and fun game which isnt all that common amidst a sea of games that take themselves too seriously. Also, I havent played all of BG3 but I think Zelda: ToTK is a better adventure game because it's a 3rd person sandbox game that made you actually want to explore a world you technically already explored. BG3 is definitely what I think about though when I imagine a good RPG.
Hello, the indie game named Compass of Destiny: Istanbul, which is currently in early access, will be released as a full version on December 14, 2023. We would be happy if you include it on your channel. Thank you.
if you have a save before the final fight started you can do it again and get an epilogue for the game that was added a while ago, not sure if it was added already by the time you finished it but I'm saying it just in case
I played a bit of Star Citizen last night and yeah…it’s definitely close to a complete game now, the only thing I hate is the inventory management, but since the game is so ridiculously complicated I guess that comes with the territory. I do wish it was less of a simulator and more streamlined it takes away from the fun, more than you might think. Go play it and you’ll see what I mean, of course once you launch your ship into space and start exploring…oh man that’s what this game is all about.
Try arena commander for drop in star citizen sessions. And we still got a long way to go to complete the game. Still missing a few game loops, and quite a few professions, but I'm glad your having fun with what we do have.
Armored core is such a good game but like he said that’s not the category where you’d say it wins something. Like I feel like it could’ve gone In narrative and won it
its a fun game for sure. I was more confused about all the lobbys and where ngl to "shy" to join any with my nearly 0 experience for the early missions ngl.
22:57 It boggles my mind that "Sea of Stars" is in ANY category. Actual evidence that the majority of gamers are jsut brainded consumers, my fucking god holy shit
lies of P art direction is literally steam/victorian Punk. yes, yes we hab a lot of games like that. Bioshock, Nloodbourne and so an. ofcourse they have their own spin on it but the direction is the same.
Kinda sad this made me realise there's a real lack of amazing fps this year. Cyberpunk and turbo overkill are great but don't even get me started on the 70 dollar dlc that is cod. I really wish we got an 10/10 fps as a huge fps fan. I think ID Software i hope could do an amazing quake reboot like doom got.
Indie comes from Independent Studio but the term has changed its meaning through the years to define games that are low budget small team devs. So in the most technical way BG3 is indeed indie but not how most people see it.
BG3 had a HUGE team developing it. Something like 500+ devs on it alone. If this were a decade ago, that's the same size AAA studios are putting towards their games.
Yeah, in the most base definition they are an indie studio who made a breakout indie game but in today's definition most wouldn't consider BG3 an indie title. However I will still consider them as such because I want indie groups or studios to see that there's hope and if they had proper direction and funding, they might also enjoy the same treatment Larian is getting instead of having to be pigeonholed into accepting slimy deals from publishers that would certainly limit their creative freedom instead. Valheim and Phasmophobia are one of the best examples of a true "indie" both in past and present definitions. We need to support more of these developers.
bg3 is worse in pretty much every way than other crpgs lmao it will be remembered as divinity 2 mod. normies discovered new genre and already made entire community obnoxious and cringe.
Armored Core as a series has always been a banger series. I was happy to see it get the love the franchise deserves even though itd be yet another one id have to miss because it wouldnt make sense to buy it financially at the time.
These categories need some work, how does bg3 get nominated for game of the year, best adventure, best rpg, best strategy and even best indie adventure. But it's not in best indie rpg, best indie strategy or best indie game of the year. It seems wrong to have it in one indie category and not the others, or better yet just not put it in any indie category
The definition of indie games is self made and self publish. People argue that having a publisher will have an advantage because they financially support the developer such as marketing, resources and have the decision to change things. Thus it immediately disqualify them as indie developer. Making game is hard and I think they deserve helps and not forfeiting the title of indie. Question is the advantage. Anyone can make games. A group 5 fresh graduates with no experience will have disadvantage against people who have 3 years of experiences. These people with 3 years of experience will have disadvantage against 5 veterans with 20 years of experiences who had published multiple AAA titles, wide connections with professionals, more cash in hands, knowledge of how the company and overall the industry works. If they are making an indie game, I don't think any of these guys should disqualify the indie title. The smaller dudes can get helps from publisher and that's fine. I'm not here to defend any big coorporate stepping in the indie scene. If they said they do not affect the decision making. I won't believe it, no one will believe it. But if these 5 veterans contacts friends who still working AAA game at a big corporate to join them developing the indie game, that's fine. Or even know who should outsource the work to somebody such as retired veteran who becomes a freelancer. That's ok too. These smaller dudes has no way to compete with the big guys. I think they can get whatever the help possible if the game budget is within acceptable amount. There is no specific numbers. Every year everything is getting expensive, inflation hits, many external factors. Even the cost of AAA games are getting higher. Some corporates remain the same budget like 100M because they refuse to increase it, so the game is getting worse with every release. The lines of defining indie games are pretty blurry. But we can agree that indie games should just be games made with smaller budget. So this VGA is 100% fans vote, it's just a popularity contest. PlateUp! is a 2022 game, so it shouldn't be there.
Warframe has one of the best community out there... just saying. I'm a noob at that game but damn the random players that joined me has helped me learn the game a lot just by playing with them, following them like actual bots lmao. Its a very chill community, at least that's what I experienced.
can say the same actually. Im not anymore in WF but when i started for couple weeks with clocking now around 150 hrs i had only met very friendly people that tryed to help me to understand tf is even going on. I expected a way more toxic community ngl. Overall as a newb i joined a "Clan" and setted even a new record on their parkour. Whish i could play again tho but my Rig rn is bit too bad for all the current stuff.
@@username.exenotfound2943 I didn't know that! But those people that helped me, they actually got me so far ahead within just 3 hours of playing. And then they left the party and I kinda get the hang of it after those sessions. Only played WF for like 100 hours though, got burned out with it and moved on to another game afterwards. One of the best community for sure.
Im wit the ff16 music pick. I do love the music of BG3 and if they won i wouldnt be upset, but givin everything else bg3 is nominated for im going ff16. I think it got overlooked by alot of people , but i loved it and my only complaint is it wasnt deeper
Fortnite no build is actually phenomenal. Thats what makes it so good. If you say fortnite with builds then it loses hands down but no build fortnite is a sick dquad shooter. BG3 was amazing but come on, people voting for BG3 in every category is cringe af. The game fell off hard af in chapter 3, all the detail was at the beginning of the game. Great game but far from the perfect game people tout it as.
We just got one it was called Steelrising. I love Lies of P but it has related stuff to Steelrising and Bloodborne and he’ll even a tad of We Happy Few/Bioshock almost
BG3 the best game we have this year I will say, but it's so over hyped, that it's just tiring, some people act as if this game can beat Cyberpunk or Eldenring.
We need Asmon's game awards: "Souls like, Vampire Survivors like and an MMO awards" Maybe on that one he wouldn't be talking out of his аss 95 percent of the time about games he never played.
@@BastoGhost nobody is saying to play all the games, but Asmon chose to vote while only beating a few games this year (and playing games is his job btw) There's quite a gap between "All games" and a "a select few" and asmon didn't even play any of the GOTY contenders.
Regarding the most anticipated game, I was wondering why there was no Silksong on the official game award choices to vote for. But I do see it here. I was still happy to vote Hades 2 ofc, but it makes me wonder if Silksong will ever release if it does not even appear there...
Best E sport: Asmond: LOL , ME: SF6 I mean SF6 bring many people to fighting game community come on Best Mobile: Asmond: HSR , Me: Path to no where I mean HSR is a massive success, but I still can't get to the game that have shittiest rate gacha, while PtN is also fun and much better gacha rate, to bad not many people, know it Best Music: FF16 end conversation Best Narrative: Asmond: Cyberpunk , Me: Slay the princess I think Asmond probably don't know this game , but it really good narrative, I mean Narrator even a character in game come on Best Art: Asmond: Lie of P, Me: FF16 FF16 is only game I play this years or even a long time that I blow away by it cinematic, as for Lie of P, I can see asmond point, but I play many JRPG, and many weird game so while Lie of P for me it look good, but not leave much impact to me like FF16 Best Speedrun: Only up end conversation Most Addict: BG3 by a mile , there are so many things to do, sadly if FF16 have those rpg element it might be close to BG3, FF16 combat is already good, but enemy just not keep up with what Clive can do, and after clear the game, nothing much can do since explore the world not reward you anyway, I hope next game they will learn from BG3
I agree, Oily Timothy is unique in art. Its different from Bloodborne bcuz Bloodborne is like gothic + disgusting gooey monsters while Lies of P is more like Bioshock, clean + steampunk + victorian era. For me Final Fantasy and BG3 is just generic medieval era with fantasy elements, so many game have this kind of medieval era theme, BG3 only good in narative and voice acting bcuz the interaction between characters. Also why is Heisenberg in Content Creator of The Year nomination?
The thing with Baldurs gate's world is that it already has established lore and is adapting it from the world of DnD 5e. You cannot change that world so large extents or else you stop being a DnD game. Heck the games name Baldurs gate is one of the most important cities in DnD and the game is named after the fact.
And the award for best game of 2023 is..... Skyrim! Congratulations Todd you did it

Voted a lot for Holocure, not because I'm a simp or anything but because I feel like it improved upon the Vampire Survivors formula the best and is just a bright and fun game which isnt all that common amidst a sea of games that take themselves too seriously. Also, I havent played all of BG3 but I think Zelda: ToTK is a better adventure game because it's a 3rd person sandbox game that made you actually want to explore a world you technically already explored. BG3 is definitely what I think about though when I imagine a good RPG.
Ton of parallels between the story in BG3 and Cyberpunk and two of the best RPGs of all time imo.
The only one I was really unsure of was best music. BG3 had probably the best song with the Raphael song but FF16 boss fight music was top tier.
i paused the video to go see this ff16 behamut battle, and for the next 50 minutes i was in awe.
25:52 what song is this
Art/music is so amazing in Talos Principle 2
Hello, the indie game named Compass of Destiny: Istanbul, which is currently in early access, will be released as a full version on December 14, 2023. We would be happy if you include it on your channel. Thank you.
Just finished bg3 2 weeks ago... ended in complete awe. What a game.
if you have a save before the final fight started you can do it again and get an epilogue for the game that was added a while ago, not sure if it was added already by the time you finished it but I'm saying it just in case
I honestly forgot about starfield until he brought it up on the last list 😂
Not putting Alan Wake 2 for best Music is just wrong, guys... nobody from the team even played the game right?
Why those aren't the same games the site show me to vote? For example here Tekken 8 is not available to vote for "Most Anticipated".
He really put Lethal Company (a rogue-like) into a adventure category when they have the right one next to it
He made a game awards with one category just for Armor Core wins. 😂
Might as well as called the category, best fromsoft game with mechs lol
I mean AC6 has to win something. It totally deserves awards but is overshadowed by more mainstream games
@@Gromper7878best armored core game that makes you want to play other armored core games more award
I played a bit of Star Citizen last night and yeah…it’s definitely close to a complete game now, the only thing I hate is the inventory management, but since the game is so ridiculously complicated I guess that comes with the territory. I do wish it was less of a simulator and more streamlined it takes away from the fun, more than you might think. Go play it and you’ll see what I mean, of course once you launch your ship into space and start exploring…oh man that’s what this game is all about.
Try arena commander for drop in star citizen sessions. And we still got a long way to go to complete the game. Still missing a few game loops, and quite a few professions, but I'm glad your having fun with what we do have.
29:30 Beyond All Reason should have been in the strategy. Don't know if it would have beaten BG3, but it deserves to be on the list.
Armored core is such a good game but like he said that’s not the category where you’d say it wins something. Like I feel like it could’ve gone In narrative and won it
Deep Rock Galactic is a criminally underplayed game. And that's sad because it is such a great experience.
its a fun game for sure. I was more confused about all the lobbys and where ngl to "shy" to join any with my nearly 0 experience for the early missions ngl.
Alan wake 2 was crazy visually
22:57 It boggles my mind that "Sea of Stars" is in ANY category.
Actual evidence that the majority of gamers are jsut brainded consumers, my fucking god holy shit
The best thematic music is probabaly for FF. Raphael from BG3 : Hold my beer
lies of P art direction is literally steam/victorian Punk.
yes, yes we hab a lot of games like that. Bioshock, Nloodbourne and so an.
ofcourse they have their own spin on it but the direction is the same.
Kinda sad this made me realise there's a real lack of amazing fps this year. Cyberpunk and turbo overkill are great but don't even get me started on the 70 dollar dlc that is cod. I really wish we got an 10/10 fps as a huge fps fan. I think ID Software i hope could do an amazing quake reboot like doom got.
AC6 totally deserves best Action game.
Where's the Alex Jhones game?!!!!?!!!????
MH Now is not even really Monster Hunter. It is reskinned Pokemon Go + Harry Potter AR game. All by Niantic.
Did Holocure really deserve to steal the spot from Vampire Survivors?
Ja
didnt he do this couple weeks ago?
when he finally play Phantom Liberty, he'd get blown away
why is totk keep not getting on best rpg list???????? like among all the game in the whole list, zelda is one of the oldest rpg lol
Indie comes from Independent Studio but the term has changed its meaning through the years to define games that are low budget small team devs. So in the most technical way BG3 is indeed indie but not how most people see it.
BG3 had a team of 400 devs and their budget was reportedly 100m
BG3 had a HUGE team developing it. Something like 500+ devs on it alone. If this were a decade ago, that's the same size AAA studios are putting towards their games.
Yeah, in the most base definition they are an indie studio who made a breakout indie game but in today's definition most wouldn't consider BG3 an indie title. However I will still consider them as such because I want indie groups or studios to see that there's hope and if they had proper direction and funding, they might also enjoy the same treatment Larian is getting instead of having to be pigeonholed into accepting slimy deals from publishers that would certainly limit their creative freedom instead.
Valheim and Phasmophobia are one of the best examples of a true "indie" both in past and present definitions. We need to support more of these developers.
Baldurs gate 3 in so many categories is uber stupidity, game content is just pathetic conversstions x 15
ok child
Baldurs Gate 3 is now what Witcher 3 was
bg3 is worse in pretty much every way than other crpgs lmao it will be remembered as divinity 2 mod. normies discovered new genre and already made entire community obnoxious and cringe.
Can't believe holocure - a vtuber game and made by 1 person appeared multiple times on the list lmao
The same guy that did the Final Fantasy 16 did, did the Final Fantasy 16 music? For real? Who did the Final Fantasy 16 music then?
League has been big this year.
Nice to see someone voting for stuff beneath BG3 on games he havent touched a single time
9:30 basically them asking what type of crack do you smoke Lmao
I hope Slay the Princess will get some love. Great game and even better narrative.
The ending is kinda meh tho
Why the hell did they put it in RPG section tho
But still glad it got nominated for Narrative, too bad it never had a chance
oh well.@@MRafas-ie9zh
Armored Core as a series has always been a banger series. I was happy to see it get the love the franchise deserves even though itd be yet another one id have to miss because it wouldnt make sense to buy it financially at the time.
huh? youve played the series so you must be an adult but you cant afford a $60 game?
@@jaroogee there are zero realities where your comment makes you look cool
@@jaroogee mhm that can happen. Plus I'm Canadian, it was like $90 on release. I have way more important things to spend my money on
@@degenxayah just pirate bro
These categories need some work, how does bg3 get nominated for game of the year, best adventure, best rpg, best strategy and even best indie adventure. But it's not in best indie rpg, best indie strategy or best indie game of the year. It seems wrong to have it in one indie category and not the others, or better yet just not put it in any indie category
Remnant 2 was my favorite surprise this year. Never played before and was hooked
The definition of indie games is self made and self publish. People argue that having a publisher will have an advantage because they financially support the developer such as marketing, resources and have the decision to change things. Thus it immediately disqualify them as indie developer. Making game is hard and I think they deserve helps and not forfeiting the title of indie.
Question is the advantage. Anyone can make games. A group 5 fresh graduates with no experience will have disadvantage against people who have 3 years of experiences. These people with 3 years of experience will have disadvantage against 5 veterans with 20 years of experiences who had published multiple AAA titles, wide connections with professionals, more cash in hands, knowledge of how the company and overall the industry works. If they are making an indie game, I don't think any of these guys should disqualify the indie title. The smaller dudes can get helps from publisher and that's fine.
I'm not here to defend any big coorporate stepping in the indie scene. If they said they do not affect the decision making. I won't believe it, no one will believe it. But if these 5 veterans contacts friends who still working AAA game at a big corporate to join them developing the indie game, that's fine. Or even know who should outsource the work to somebody such as retired veteran who becomes a freelancer. That's ok too.
These smaller dudes has no way to compete with the big guys. I think they can get whatever the help possible if the game budget is within acceptable amount. There is no specific numbers. Every year everything is getting expensive, inflation hits, many external factors. Even the cost of AAA games are getting higher. Some corporates remain the same budget like 100M because they refuse to increase it, so the game is getting worse with every release.
The lines of defining indie games are pretty blurry. But we can agree that indie games should just be games made with smaller budget.
So this VGA is 100% fans vote, it's just a popularity contest.
PlateUp! is a 2022 game, so it shouldn't be there.
All awards are popularity contests. Welcome to the real world.
@@juliotorres3147 If it's popularity contest, then Hogwarts should sweep every category because it has sold over 25m copies.
League if great! Hit Emerald, highest rank since season 3. I was plat 3 before they added new division
Emerald ? Bruh i left end of season4 and there wasnt such a rank at all man.
makes sense considering you quit way before they added it? lol what@@semiramisubw4864
Warframe has one of the best community out there... just saying. I'm a noob at that game but damn the random players that joined me has helped me learn the game a lot just by playing with them, following them like actual bots lmao. Its a very chill community, at least that's what I experienced.
can say the same actually. Im not anymore in WF but when i started for couple weeks with clocking now around 150 hrs i had only met very friendly people that tryed to help me to understand tf is even going on. I expected a way more toxic community ngl. Overall as a newb i joined a "Clan" and setted even a new record on their parkour. Whish i could play again tho but my Rig rn is bit too bad for all the current stuff.
btw they only help because the general thing with warframe is that the start isnt very new player friendly
@@username.exenotfound2943 I didn't know that! But those people that helped me, they actually got me so far ahead within just 3 hours of playing. And then they left the party and I kinda get the hang of it after those sessions. Only played WF for like 100 hours though, got burned out with it and moved on to another game afterwards. One of the best community for sure.
The only thing Xqc deserves is a copyright strike
I honestly think there hasn’t been a year in the last ~8 years where league hasn’t had the best esport scene
Darktide should have been up for soundtrack.
Gotta love how best mobile are just some random games they played leaving almost all the good games out
I'm seeing a distinct lack of Alex Jones vs. The NWO.....
Best music : TOTK .....what music?
Damn! Never, ever thought you would be excited for Star Citizen!
Is this a fan made website for game awards ?
Its their own "awards". Its an OTK award thing
how many of this award shows are there
Im wit the ff16 music pick. I do love the music of BG3 and if they won i wouldnt be upset, but givin everything else bg3 is nominated for im going ff16. I think it got overlooked by alot of people , but i loved it and my only complaint is it wasnt deeper
My favorite games this year are resident evil 4, final fantasy 16 and Spiderman 2
Fortnite no build is actually phenomenal. Thats what makes it so good. If you say fortnite with builds then it loses hands down but no build fortnite is a sick dquad shooter.
BG3 was amazing but come on, people voting for BG3 in every category is cringe af. The game fell off hard af in chapter 3, all the detail was at the beginning of the game. Great game but far from the perfect game people tout it as.
Dude i had to stop playing deep rock cause my pc couldn't run it but damn that game is good
I'm sad he never voted Holocure, it deserves at least to win a couple of those noms
We just got one it was called Steelrising. I love Lies of P but it has related stuff to Steelrising and Bloodborne and he’ll even a tad of We Happy Few/Bioshock almost
Yep, and Bioshock x Bloodborne art direction is a fantastic combo
BG3 the best game we have this year I will say, but it's so over hyped, that it's just tiring, some people act as if this game can beat Cyberpunk or Eldenring.
We need Asmon's game awards:
"Souls like, Vampire Survivors like and an MMO awards"
Maybe on that one he wouldn't be talking out of his аss 95 percent of the time about games he never played.
Who tf played all these games anyway?
@@BastoGhost nobody is saying to play all the games, but Asmon chose to vote while only beating a few games this year (and playing games is his job btw)
There's quite a gap between "All games" and a "a select few" and asmon didn't even play any of the GOTY contenders.
Regarding the most anticipated game, I was wondering why there was no Silksong on the official game award choices to vote for. But I do see it here. I was still happy to vote Hades 2 ofc, but it makes me wonder if Silksong will ever release if it does not even appear there...
The most cinematic game was AW 2. Anything else is not even close
Best E sport: Asmond: LOL , ME: SF6
I mean SF6 bring many people to fighting game community come on
Best Mobile: Asmond: HSR , Me: Path to no where
I mean HSR is a massive success, but I still can't get to the game that have shittiest rate gacha, while PtN is also fun and much better gacha rate, to bad not many people, know it
Best Music: FF16 end conversation
Best Narrative: Asmond: Cyberpunk , Me: Slay the princess
I think Asmond probably don't know this game , but it really good narrative, I mean Narrator even a character in game come on
Best Art: Asmond: Lie of P, Me: FF16
FF16 is only game I play this years or even a long time that I blow away by it cinematic, as for Lie of P, I can see asmond point, but I play many JRPG, and many weird game so while Lie of P for me it look good, but not leave much impact to me like FF16
Best Speedrun: Only up end conversation
Most Addict: BG3 by a mile , there are so many things to do, sadly if FF16 have those rpg element it might be close to BG3, FF16 combat is already good, but enemy just not keep up with what Clive can do, and after clear the game, nothing much can do since explore the world not reward you anyway, I hope next game they will learn from BG3
so real
I agree, Oily Timothy is unique in art. Its different from Bloodborne bcuz Bloodborne is like gothic + disgusting gooey monsters while Lies of P is more like Bioshock, clean + steampunk + victorian era. For me Final Fantasy and BG3 is just generic medieval era with fantasy elements, so many game have this kind of medieval era theme, BG3 only good in narative and voice acting bcuz the interaction between characters.
Also why is Heisenberg in Content Creator of The Year nomination?
The thing with Baldurs gate's world is that it already has established lore and is adapting it from the world of DnD 5e. You cannot change that world so large extents or else you stop being a DnD game. Heck the games name Baldurs gate is one of the most important cities in DnD and the game is named after the fact.
no armored core in the best music?
obviously the game of the year here is, heroes might and magic 3.
objectively
I wish i could be exceited for Squadron 42. I want to be, but its taken them...since 2012 to get just here. Its bizarre.
Same as GTA basically
I’m actually surprised that genshin wasn’t nominated for any category.
can i ask what is your prefer to play PS5 or PC?
