Hogwarts was mid, and it def didn't get nominated for anything because of the author. I don't think spiderman should be nominated because I don't think it was worthy in this strong year. I thought FF16 was the much better game, and there were a few others. Starfield didn't deserve nomination imo, and the game was solid for the most part, but you have to do more than being a better game than Fallout 4 to get nominated in a strong year. Also, it's weird seeing FF16 in the RPG category instead of action, but whatever. Also, I felt Chained Echoes was rob because it's a much better game than Sea of Stars, and it's odd not seeing Pentiment nominated for anything when that game reviewed well, but missed the cutoff last year.

This why I couldn’t get through Control. shyt felt like great value uncharted, shooting/movement wise.

I actually have the exact opposite opinion on control then i do Alan wake 2. The former i enjoyed the basic gameplay (picking up shyt and throwing it and flying around is always fun, its like the gravity gun from half life) but i didn’t really care about Jesse, her brother, or the bureau that much.

Saga’s story along with the supporting cast was much more interesting, Casey, Tor, Odin, the hot chick from Star Wars.

"Only one nomination for starfield"
"And it probably won't win that one just because"

Nah you stupid larry box cac it won't win it because it's in RPG and the fav to win GOTY is in that category

Salty for what I play all systems. The list is trash and politics
Yeah whatever dummy, only game that got robbed was Street Fighter 6 as it was higher on meta critic than Spiderman, Mario and Alan Wake.

Starmid aint even making a second lineup.

BG3 / Zelda / SM2 / AW2 / Mario / RE4R
SF6 / Diablo / FF16 / AC6 / Hi-Fi Rush / Sea of Stars

Hi-fi rush probably has the biggest snub.

It's in 5 major nominations, same as Zelda and Mario, more than RE 4 bit no GOTY nomination.

Literally doesn't make sense, but not surprising :yeshrug:

It does all those things great but the overall package ain’t GOTY worthy, its not that complicated

Hogwarts Legacy devs robbed of a nomination
they didnt get robbed of sales though, and the sequel is most definitely on the way. Its hard to feel bad for them. In the immortal words of Don Draper....

He gets some good shyt but I don’t think Geoff got that kinda pull

If Rockstar tweet a random stream with a 24 hour countdown on a Wednesday afternoon it’s getting more views than the game awards

I’m happy to be proven wrong tho :manny:

Ive heard this rumor on twitter today and I started thinking about it, they said December and what better place to have a secret pop up surprise in front of millions of gamers :manny:

The only GOTY candidate I even played from their list was just a couple hours of Zelda. I don't even own any of those other games and at this point I'll wait on them.

Streetfighter 6 is 92 on opencritic while Mario and Spidey are 91, Alan Wake and Hi Fi Rush are 89.

Hi Fi Rush probably gets the nomination if Alan Wake didn't come in so late.

Maybe Streetfighter gets it it they disallowed remakes so Capcom still get a game as well.

You can go on opencritic right now and you'll see 2023 Hall of Fame with Streetfighter 6 at #5 yet larry boxes acting like midfield 83 not getting a nom is biased media :dead:
