​@@MatheusSantos-jw8ht He voted last year

Indeed lol. I think people think indie is a genre now rather than a studio without a big publisher above it.

If they listed indie games as self-published games, the list would be consistant of, like, 3 good games and some asset flips on steam to fill the page lmao. Almost every indie studio is working with publishers these days. There are punlishers specialized in indie games. I don't know, maybe your definitin is like "games made by studios that aren't owned by publishers but just work with them on a specific game is indie" which would be fair

Tbh, who really cares

people think nowadays that indie is when it looks like it's made by tumblr dwellers it doesnt help that it's mostly true

I wouldn't call bg3 an indie game. Maybe before DoS 2 you could consider larian an indie studio, but that game was already a massive success and they had a huge team working on BG3 with tons of funding from DoS 2. Not exactly what people would consider an indie game. That being said, if it means BG3 gets another award then I'm all for it.

Did Charlie skipped the Games for Impact section?

@@monarchyyyyor the dlc one? Phantom liberty was an incredible dlc

​@@iGotIceInMyRice420and the sport/racing section

It's even more hysterical when DAYS before the nominees were announced that Bungie had laid off their community managers

Hahahahaha

imo Destiny 2 should be completely disqaulified from the "best community support" moving forward, and replaced with Halo infinite for this year for the simple act of bungie axing the community support team, that right there is evidance enough theres no community support to be rewarded. and ya i say this as a former destiny fan, i quit the game less then a month after lightfall's release, decided to make it permanant shortly after season of the deep released with all those server issues, and so ive not played at all since march.

Cyberpunk was honestly the best choice there. They actually listened to peoples concerns over the game

@@RathOfRey It was either No Mans Sky or Cyberpunk imo, both went from absolute dogshit to genuinely solid games and continually listened to the community's concerns and requests then did their best to fulfill the reasonable ones.

Diablo 4 and especially Fortnite being nominated for anything is already a disgrace anyway.

@@Bodacious_Crustacious it's there because this particular awards ceremony is only for business sponsors, not vote outcomes. Blizzard paid and will probably win a category for it.

​@@Bodacious_CrustaciousFortnite makes sense, despite me hating it. For when it came out it had some insane feats.

@@mildvfx Because it makes perfect sense to award a game for it's innovation from several years ago every year. The issue is that Fortnite doesn't do anything truly innovative and even when it did try on release the ideas they brought to the table plagued the industry forever. Now every Triple A title has to have a battlepass if it's an online multiplayer game.

​@@Bodacious_CrustaciousFortnite? Nah genshin being nominated for anything is a disgrace.

How big is that game then

@@brad4130 its a weird mix its counts as indie yet is division of big dolla company so it shouldnt so its weird it would need its own kinda catalogue

@@zephyreagle ah then nvm

I didn't play it but without a doubt it looked like the best HP game. The problem with that is the bar is buried in the floor with that standard.

Lol lets be real here, game award just basically went "I ain't touching that flame war"

bad year to expect an ez win or even a nomination. too many good games out this year.

It was doomed to be snubbed the minute Twitter, Reddit and the media started crying about it. Although I don't think it's on the same level as games such as Baldur's Gate 3, I find it ridiculous that it wasn't nominated for anything. It at least deserved a mention in categories such as Best Art Direction thanks to the amazing work that went into bringing Hogwarts Castle to life.

Which is completely deserved to be quite honest. It's an incredibly mid game riding entirely on the IP. It would have been completely forgettable if it weren't for the branding.

Yeah I saw the list in Best Indie Game and went "was that it? I thought more indies released" and then went "Wait what?!" when Pizza Tower was in the next one but not the other. Easily the best indie release this year.

Best score, best art direction, are also some that it should have got nominated for

Dave the Diver stole it's place. It isn't even actually an indie game. It's fucked up.

At least it got Indie Debut. Eternights got neither and that was made by ONE DUDE

the fact it got on there at all and is easily smashing the competition in the public voting is a blessing

Why? Lol, cause people will whine about it if they don't pick the game they like? Bruh, gamers are the most vocal bitches on the planet, people will whine with the way I play Elden ring, no matter what you do gamers will bitch and complain, pretty sure Charlie knows that.

​@OfficerBMT 🤖

Fr

People will argue about this game deserving to win GOTY or that game deserving to win GOTY, but what they don't realise is that caring about The Game Awards in any capacity means that you've already lost. The event is trash on principle, and people are stupid for caring. It's feeling validated because a bunch of IGN reviewers dressed up and read some milquetoast gaming opinions into a microphone. The only good part about them is the trailers, like when they used to announce new Smash characters in between awards.

@@PorkSmack what kind of game do you consider not shite by your standards?

This also makes it the second time a Baldur's Gate sequel released in the same year as a direct Legend of Zelda sequel

Holy shit, you're right. I didn't even know that. Funny coincidence.

And both are still top dogs

Agreed, Astarion is not the most likeable character in the game but he's the most memorable.

All of them had incredible voice acting, but Asterion felt like he was really there in that time period, dude absolutely NAILED that performance ngl.

Him and Amelia (the narrator) along with many other VA’s did an incredible job. I’m playing it solo and probably won’t play it with others until my second playthrough.

​@@theduck2970He is queer coded which is very popular in the LGBT community. I think his popularity has part to do with this.

I think most of the fan base of BG3 knows how good the VA's are. its night and day compared to other games.

I gave it to BG3/Larian for this because I've seen them respond to fan feedback left, right, and center. They truly have earned it.

Idk I remember about it being announced and it looked just ok

Yeah it's fucking nuts. I voted myself just yesterday, and as soon as I got to most anticipated I immediately said "where the fuck is silksong???" Would have easily had my vote

​@@Greg_The_GregfulOut. Now.

I don't think so at all. TOTK is going to win and its not even going to be close. The only other game that has a chance is BG3 but lets be real that game was good but way overrated by diehard CRPG fans and it launched with a ton of issues and still has a ton of issues. For a game with so many bugs to get so many 10s I just can't help but feel Larian bought a few reviews for sure.

@@NeutralGloomBot Yeah BG3 does still have a lot of bugs, but the impact it has on the industry was great, triple As literally fear Larian and have to tell the players that they shouldn’t expect the same quality as BG3 from them, even players who don’t play the genre or the game know it’s really good. Now, I didn’t play TOTK so I can’t judge which one is better, but it really seems like BG3 is going to win

The real sad thing is AC6 somehow had the same number of nominations as Starfield

@@FlanMcBeanStarfield robbed the RPG nomination from Octopath 2.

AC6 was a fine game but I dont really think that it did anything special on graphics. If we are talking about realism, then alan wake 2 would unfortunately solo it anyways.

baldurs gate is shit

To be fair baldurs gate 1 and 2 were also very highly praised in their own time

@@tallyholads4620 Yeah, but being highly praised yet never played is their curse. Back then, PC gaming was very niche compared to today. Near-perfect games got released on PC but were never heard of by console players, who were only used to Nintendo and Sega and Playstation. PC gaming was popular in nerd circles, but this was still the era where nerds were not popular, and the internet was young enough that even the most basement-y of nerds sometimes had to go to literal shops in the real world to hunt down the parts needed to build high-end gaming PCs. My 5-disc BG1 crashed our brand-new Gateway 2000 dozens of times... generic household PCs were simply not at pace with an N64 or PS2 for the average teenager to spend time gaming. Even one of the most highly praised games of all time which is from that era, Planescape: Torment (the best book I ever played), is known of by like 10% of modern gamers, most of them only through seeing it pop up on Best Games lists, and even after an enhanced edition its Steam average completion rate is hilariously low. It's sad to see. Anyways, for all their praise in antiquity, hopefully some people will give them a chance now who always heard they were good but never actually had the chance to give them a try.

@@tallyholads4620I think the difference is baldur gates is popular with people outside their main demographic cause how well made it is

@@tallyholads4620 This lol, BG has a 90 metacritic score and BG II has a 95 while also being regarded as one of the best RPGs ever made. The issue is that console morons think BG and BG II are Dark Alliance and Dark Alliance II.

Yeah for real. I guess he skipped over him like he almost did BG3 too.

Honestly I would have preferred the narrator over him, the narrator elevates the experience so much more

Clive was just that much better tbh, that scene where astarion confronts cazador has nothing on FF16's scene leading to the final battle.

@@Hifuutoriannot hard to miss that game bro

@@wiZrd0ne Delulu.

You make it sound like a DLC would be bad

​@@David-mc8in It would be tone deaf

​@@noone12748DLC isn't bad, unless it's paid DLC.

It's great cus it itself is a crpg and considered an immersive sim, even it's dynamic narrative alone offered gameplay replayability and variety. its a game that respect player's existence with how the world I affected by players choice. It's underappreciated even in Elden Ring. Edit: ain't surprize if a crpg game didn't win, seeing how niche a crpg is with how overwhelming it is for people with short attention span.

Still a dead game 😂

it's personally my top 1 best OSTs of all time alongside Shadow of The Colossus. and i'm kinda leaning towards FF16 more than SoTC righ now ngl.

Ive never played XIV but the score that Masayoshi Soken put together for XVI was absolutely phenomenal. For me the one thing that Final Fantasy always nails is the score and Soken lives up to that trend. I hope when it comes out on PC you'll have the chance to enjoy it!

I voted for spiderman 2 i dont regret it that much

Wish I could play BG3 again for the first time again, two playthroughs through now but nothing will ever beat that first time. FF16 had the best music imo

lol no its not

@@JuanPiece. sex

@@JuanPiece. bugs and weak narrative, along with some things not being in the game at launch (karlachs ending). everything else is great. also performance was dog shit.

Lets Hope it wins art direction

@@Shyftus Yes! Not only the art literally in the game but the narrative and themes connecting humanity and art were brilliant!

If you're comparing it to Bloodborne, it seems like I really need to check this game out then. Bloodborne is fucking amazing

@@Hellomehungrylies of p also has better modern mechanics that make it great

@@HellomehungryBloodBorne is and has been my favorite FromSoft game since it was released, try Lies of P, it is very worth it. Feels like a mix between BloodBorne atmosphere and darkness, and Sekiro parry timing, it’s super nice. And the dodge is very BloodBorneesque.

It’s a great performance but Starr as Clive in FF16 and Newborn as Astarion clear the rest of the competition heavily

When his whole role was to take some pills, think of dead puppies & whine & cry like a bitch the whole time about how he's inferior to MJ & Miles the guy doesn't deserve a vote..not on him as he's doing his job and reciting what the gimp writers had set out for him..but still.

If someone told me "WHERE" like Yuri did in this game, I would shit my pants.

As if esports consisted only of shooters and mobas. Their run was truly spectacular, how can they not even be nominated??

Yeah it's fucking annoying how Nexon disguised it as one. I want big companies to make some smaller games, sure. But don't cloak it as an indie game.

It's telling how good the game is when a dead franchise gets its first game in years right after the DnD movie flopped and it gets considered goty

the game was far far from fantastic....

@@shearman360 BG wasn’t a dead franchise, it had ostensibly finished 20 years ago. This was more of a second-coming than a resurrection

'I haven't played any of these but this is the best one'

BG3 will not beat TOTK. It launched with a ton of issues and still has a ton of issues. Not too mention, you D&D fans overrated it to the frickin moon. its ok but not that great. Its combat is slow, dull, and unfair in favor of enemies. The dice roll mechanic is obnoxious and you lose way more than you win and here comes the reload and try again BS. The story is a convoluted mess and not that interesting. The characters are mostly annoying. The world design is just basic. The music was generic. I mean a 7 would be a fair score but for a game with so many issues to get so many 10s I feel like Larian bought a few scores there for sure. Its an ok game, but the best? Not even close. It shouldn't even win RPG of the year. That should go to FFXVI, Sea of Stars, or Star Ocean 2 R. All three were better and didn't have a metric fuck ton of issues at launch.

Dave the diver was an absolutely great game though, comparing both games i say a coin toss was about right.

Yeah but a lot of people will never give the game a chance because of the shop

I don’t know what you mean, unless you mean that you would vote it because it’s the most popular, which would be a really stupid thing to do. It wasn’t revolutionary except in the visuals department which it excelled in. Very ambitious and faithful to dungeons and dragons, but not much more.

@@minecrafter3448 the voice acting, the animations, the reactivity, the narrative, the combat mechanics, the character builds, the absolutely insane amount of player choice and agency within the game world.. it’s much more than just ‘visuals’ 🤨

Same here, haven't played it yet (I will, waiting for a sale) but it's just had such an impact on the spere. I actually started looking into D&D because of how popular BG3 is, I built myself a Half-Elf Moon Druid and might use it on tabletop

@@HolyBlowhole I don’t know if you can tell, but I like Minecraft quite a bit. BG3 has nothing special in the player choice department.
