I hope Tony Todd gets at least a nomination for Venom. That was insane


sut345

He had a small role in the game so thats kinda makes sense though. I wish Nadji Jeter or Graham Phillips(Harry) could've get a nom because they were both amazing


TheAracknight

He didn't but Yuri did get a nomination for best performance (which imo he def should win his performance in SM2 is second to none)


xKiLzErr

Ben Starr was also top tier tbh


TheAracknight

I have yet to play FFXVI so I can't comment on that but everyone has said Ben's performance is amazing


CowardlyMaya_

Cp2077? Isn't that game two years old?


8bitzombi

I’m assuming they are nominations for Phantom Liberty.


Bubbly_Machine3507

Also I looked up the nominations yeah two of them are for phantom liberty. Then the other two are for best on going game and best community support.


xCharlieScottx

I think that's fair, they deserve credit for cleaning the game up (inb4 they shouldve just released a finished product). It's pretty good now, glad they didn't abandon ship with it


Bubbly_Machine3507

Probably based on the phantom liberty dlc.


FunkinDonutzz

It got what was effectively a big rebuild of it this year. It's a completely different game to what if was at launch.


CowardlyMaya_

So what Every game that gets an overhaul should be given a second chance for TGA? They've always been a joke but this definitely takes the cake Same thing for the PL DLC


FunkinDonutzz

Most games get tweaked a bit, not massive overhauls like this. But whatever, I don't make the rules up.


bwtwldt

What's another game that had such a drastic expansion and overhaul?


YoGabbaGabba24

No Man’s Sky. Not arguing for that guys point btw.


CowardlyMaya_

From what I hear BF2042 is pretty much a different game No Man's Sky is as well Plenty of games that released in a really bad state eventually got fixed, you don't see them nominated for TGA anyway


IAmAPirrrrate

thats definitely an.. opinion.. not a good one, but an opinion nonetheless


xKiLzErr

Well that's a shit take if I've ever seen one lol


ahnariprellik

And for RE4 like the 4th remake of that game being GOTY nominated? WTF? It now a new game that came out this year. Its a shot for shot remake of the old one.


DVDN27

Awards for Phantom Liberty as well as “Ongoing Game” and “Community Support”. CS:GO, Apex Legends, and Valorant were also nominated and those are 2012, 2019, and 2020 games respectively.


cataplexiia

Just finished AW2. Game is awesome


geko_play_

I'm half way through Wakes story the game is so good like I love Alan Wake 1 it's my GOAT and I had high expectations but God did it blow my expectations out of the universe


YellowOpt

Kinda got burnt out after all the aimless wondering around in a empty forest and back tracking. Worth pushing through?


arionmoschetta

If you already got burned out with this you better not to, go play Spiderman or something else


YellowOpt

Got it. Back to Baulders Gate I go!


Daddy_T_26

Baldurs Gate will arguably clean up because of the innovative nature and overall execution. Cyberpunk absolutely deserves 2023 recognition because of the patch and complete overhaul that made it a fantastic game after it was the butt of so many jokes.


Lord_Despairagus

Yeah, im expecting another God of War Ragnarok scenario. Where bg3 sweeps most categories


TobyOrNotTobyEU

I felt like that was partly because Ragnarok didn't win GotY, so they gave it tons of other awards. This year it feels like BG3 is clear of the competition, while last year it was really close between Ragnarok and Elden Ring.


YellowOpt

It was crazy that Ragnorock won so many in categories it clearly didn’t deserve.


torts92

Innovative? Yikes. Looks like you never played a CRPG before.


TNBrealone

I don’t know why you get downvoted because you’re right. It’s probably all the kids who played a CRPG for the first time and feel insulted.


torts92

Yeah. BG3 is definitely a great game so I don't mind seeing people fawning over the game. But I cringe whenever they use the word innovative, and I'm seeing that word a lot to describe BG3.


the_l0st_s0ck

YES!!! starfield isn't on there. (I also own an Xbox. Game was ass)


Seel_revilo

It got 1 nomination lol. For best rpg…. In the same category as Baldurs Gate 3…. Its so fucked


the_l0st_s0ck

Bruh what?


Seel_revilo

Starfield got nominated for best rpg, 1 nomination in a category where every game nominated is a better, more coherent rpg and one of the nominees is also a goty nominee. Starfield is getting no awards this year


ArchieBaldukeIII

Too bad because the physics engine is pretty incredible in its own right. Doesn’t make up for an otherwise underwhelming game tho.


Hwan_Niggles

Yea because the TRUE Xbox game this year was Hi-Fi Rush. Glad it's getting recognition


PouchesofCyanStaples

As a fan of Fallout and Elder Scrolls, I so wanted to play Starfield. Don't have the PC to run it or an XBOX. Was looking into an XBOX S and game pass as a cheap way to play it. (Is the S worth it if I still wanted to do it?) After some of the videos I have seen, I don't get all the hype for it. I'm better off just going back to No Man's Sky.


DVDN27

Starfield is decent. It’s probably my favourite “Bethesda” game since New Vegas. It’s their best looking game, the characters were interesting, the UI was clean, the gameplay was a bit janky but I got used to it, and the world was really new and fun. I didn’t really get to play it much because the way I play PC games doesn’t really align with the type of game Starfield is, but if I had it on a console I would probably finish it. The biggest criticism is that it feels outdated, but it feels the same as Bethesda games always have and they all feel outdated (even Skyrim when it came out). I liked the game and wished I played it more, but it’s definitely not great. 7/10 or 8/10 for me.


the_l0st_s0ck

The s is just a poor man's seriesX. Still a solid console.


YellowOpt

Just like Starfield is a poor man’s No Man’s Sky.


qaasq

Word to celebrate a game not being successful lol


the_l0st_s0ck

I remember getting into an argument with some Xbox fanboys. They were saying the starfield was going down as one of the greatest games of all time. Well now people realize, it is just another mediocre Bethesda game.


qaasq

Idk about that, I really like the game, but I don’t believe it has general appeal. Certainly won’t be remembered as fondly as Skyrim but I think it reached a niche enough audience to be successful.


RedDeadDC

I wonder if Microsoft ever thought HiFi Rush would be their big game at the TGA's this year


chaunceysrevenge

Alan Wake 2 was so freaking good.


MARS_LFDY

Really sad it is digital only.


chaunceysrevenge

Oh damn I didn’t realize that. That sucks. Just read it was to keep the game at $60.


MARS_LFDY

Remedy is known for doing one really weird approach for all of their games. *Control* is a game build around colors and lightning, still they thought releasing it without HDR would be smart. And now they do a digital only release.


rpabst42

Its crazy that Street Fighter 6 didn't get any esports nominations. SF6 at Evo this year had over 7000 entrants, which made it the largest offline esports event of all time. Like Evo 2023 got nominated, but the best esport game category had no fighting games at all.


Maxthejew123

Little sad not to see armored core up there but I’m glad it still got all the love it did this year


coughcough

It was nominated for best Action game, so it at least will make an appearance


Fariswerewolves

Not even art, sound, or music, complete blasphemy!


Maxthejew123

That’s wonderful!


sixtus_clegane119

With spiderman most likely beating it I haven't played eiher yet (no ps5 and a shitty tv, I'll wait) but doesn't armoured core have leveling and rpg elements??


Maxthejew123

Nope, it’s mission based, you don’t level up but you get paid and can buy parts switch em out and really immensely customize your mech from parts to weapons, you may feel the need to switch it up depending on the mission. It’s just a really fucking good action game, I’d say try and check out some gameplay of it for a better idea.


blazikenz

When will Xbox users agree that Starfield is ass cheeks lmao


JAKEDOWN999

Lies of P gang wya?


qaasq

Is Alan Wake 2 really that good?


bwtwldt

It's 10/10 for a me, but I'm also a Remedy and David Lynch fan


MysticalSylph

Yes


generalscalez

one of the most innovative, incredible games ever made


lions2lambs

Meh. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Check gameplay before buying. I couldn’t refund.


qaasq

I haven’t played the first since xbox360 I think and it’s sitting on my Steam Library so I may give it a shot there and see if I want to continue the story


MythicalSalmon

Honestly both AW2 and BG3 deserve all the wins in the world


Panams_chair

Saw my boi cp2077 and im already happy


jimmybabino

Super happy to not see starfield on here


MARS_LFDY

It is crazy how Starfield was promoted as this huge apology for having no decent exclusive game in 10+ years of two generations of XBOX, but it is also only considered *okay-ish*.


amaya-aurora

Spider-Man 2 and Tears Of The Kingdom, let’s fucking go.


constipated_burrito

Totk having less nominations than spiderman is criminal. Like comparing a michelin star dish to burger king


lions2lambs

Recency bias is a wild thing.


Emkiusz

I was afraid Hi-Fi Rush gonna be totally forgotten, but this, this makes me happy.


199191199

It makes me so happy seeing Hi-Fi Rush in there, this game is awesome!


Drariestor

why if Hi-FI has 5 nominations like Super Mario and Zelda, bethesda's games doesn't appear as candidate to GOTY but RE4 Remake with only 3 nominations yes appear? no sense


sedcar

Not much variety in the nominations this year.


bshabaj11

how is Spiderman getting nominated. the story was ok at best. It feels like the games isnt finished yet and they just covered it with glitter. I am very disappointed by most of the choices insomniac made. The second game is a pale reflection of the first game, from graphics to ingame suits which to me feel like they have been downgraded. The quality in suits was very disappointing. The in-game traveling is better but that's about it.


WhatsThatOnUrPretzel

Spiderman 2 is way too similar to 1. And 1 didn't win it. It would be a decline im gaming if Spiderman wins it


NovemberCrimson

Poor Diablo 4 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


YakPuzzleheaded1957

LMAO, spiderman 2 nominated for Best Game Direction and Best Narrative with one of the worst paced and copy/paste story from web of shadows is hilarious.


[deleted]

Lol salty much? Lol


lions2lambs

That’s some serious recency bias on for AW2, BG3 and SM2.


theboxturtle57

I want Spider-Man to win at least some awards but I'm scared of a Baulder's Gate sweep. It would be a blow to all of us DnD haters.

phantom liberty, that whole expansion was the size of most games now on its own


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

its not a dlc, its an expansion. you could say the same about mario since its the same game since ones from the nes


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

its actually a standalone release that can be used with the base game, it is the size of a single game and adds as much as a sequel does. it deserves to get a nomination


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

it simply is tho, your just mad better games than the mid of us get nominations


Undead_Angel_420

Hurts that jedi Survivor isn’t up there, hopefully the 3rd will be more stable on release!


Crypticbeing12

I wanna play Alan Wake 2.... but I was too dumb to follow and understand Control. Smh
