A lot of the categories towards the end don’t interest me at all. I’d vote for Mickey Mouse if I could.

Believe me it is not worse than the "it was not hyped",worse again it was mostly posted by the people who hyped it.

Its the hottest new release, and pretty much the only PS exclusive that mattered this year.
So ofcourse you'll see that get a nominee.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Jedi Survivor loses out due to the performance issues on console and PC. That needs to be a consideration.

TOTK also had major performance issues, same for Alan Wake 2.

How is MK1 a nominee for best fighting game? The game is unfinished, no crossplay, online is hit or miss.....i could go on and on....
SF6 owns it hands down.

TOTK is a performance miracle that they will use in programming college courses to explain to young people what optimization is and how to do it nearly flawlessly.

By the way, I just realized that even Hi-Fi Rush didn't get nominated either.
That means there is no Xbox game on the list. I was of the belief (and on the record) saying that they will nominate at least one Xbox game, kind of like a participation trophy, but it will be Hi-Fi Rush, not Starfield.
They didn't nominate any Xbox game in the end.
And as of today, only 2 of these 6 games are playable on Xbox.

Well technically there is grear, leveling and skills in ff16, so it's not like it's no rpg at all.
Action rpg ?

BG3 should also win the soundtrack
Imagine starting this at the show
Raphael's final act is so good
Or fighting a boss with this
Or these songs, they fit the game so well
If you spend an hour in the character creation ..
But if game awards play a song for the winner, I can't imagine this not being played

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
That RPG category is a disgrace, considering so many great RPGs released in 2023.

Even if remakes and remasters aren't allowed, there's still enough here that is better than their selections.

And none of it makes a lick of a difference.
-gear upgrades are minor and offer no additional skills or passive buffs. Also you’re restricted to the same sword move set and nothing else
-leveling, LOL. Even less impactful
-skills are mostly interchangeable, especially with no elemental weaknesses/resistances. The game being quite easy only makes it worse
FF XVI is as much a RPG as Resident Evil 6 is a horror game.

Yeah he kind of does.
Oh, well then, maybe you have a point-
Hang on, 4?
Let me check…
Armored Core 4
Armored Core 4 reinvigorates the brand by offering an all-new storyline, new environments, and online capability. The 10th anniversary of the acclaimed franchise is punctuated with a leap to next-generation platforms. Multiplayer functionality allows up to eight players to battle online. Join...

It’s sad that that‘s enough for a nominee.
What does SM2 do that innovates the medium, or even stands out?
If Mario shouldn’t have been there, SM2 shouldn’t be there by the same metric.
The bias and politics on display are crystal clear, on every front.

Armored Core 6 did get a nomination for best action game though. I voted for it.Armored Core 6 got robbed, and I will never forgive the Dorito pope!

The lack of RPG elements was always a concern, remember this:
They never addressed this question any further and by the time final previews went live, it was clear why that was the case.

I see the name, I also see that plenty of others, including non-critics, were not big on Armored Core 4. Regardless, Geoff gave the final big spotlight of last year to Armored Core 6. Don’t be mad at him that 2023 was stacked and AC 6 just couldn’t make the cut.

Armored Core 4 was one of AC games Miyazaki himself directed and it was really good too but unfortunately AC games (most JP mecha games) just never popular in west.

Actually, AC 4 is the lowest rated main AC game aside from the first in terms of Famitsu, so nope, Japanese critics weren’t as big on it either.
It was Miyazaki’s directorial debut. Not all directors get off to an amazing start.

And God Hand also got really low review score on Famitsu.....your point? Are really judge game quality based scores?

Gaslighting to some extent involves leaving the "target" questioning themselves but here's its pretty much laid out in black and white so it's more akin to some lunatic screaming word salad in public and people passing by going

If you don’t care about reviews, why are you concerned about it winning awards? It’s more or less the same thing.
The FACT is Geoff and his team highlighted the game as the closing trailer, which means it’s the most fresh in people’s memories as the show ends, last year. That happened, you cannot deny it. Don’t get mad at them just because virtually everyone agrees 2023 was stacked and not everyone is as obsessed with Armored Core as you. No one is saying AC 6 is bad, but you honestly can’t believe many people might genuinely think a bunch of other games are better?
It‘s just unfair to be automatically dismissive of other’s opinions as some anti-mech bias, especially as the sales thread showed AC 6 sold quite well.

It just not AC6, Octopath 2 not getting nominated for best soundtrack is fucking baffling to me.....like I said this mostly popularity contest.

I mean, BG 3 and Alan Wake 2 have excellent OSTs. One of the very few things I can praise FF XVI for is its OST. And I haven’t played Hi Fi Rush but I would assume its OST has to slap.
Again, it’s a stacked year.

Haven't played BG3, but I'm not really big on CRPGs, though I'll play it eventually just to see what it's all about. Loved Zelda and RE4. Both are in my top 5 GOTY, but were slightly edged out in terms of what were my favorites.

Baldur's Gate 3 winning this easily but there are some questionable omissions not on this list including Street Fighter 6 and Hogwart's Legacy. I understand maybe Hogwarts not being nominated for GOTY but to not even be nominated for best RPG is pretty funny. Shows these clowns intentionally left it off this list because it's Harry Potter and its ties to J.K. Rowling.

Yeah, imo both SM and Mario benefit way too much from their brand alone. Very solid games, but Mario is just a slightly lamer version of what Rayman Origins/Legends did 10 years ago and SM is just a polished run of the mill open world game. Would these games still be nominated with less known characters? Doubt it /shrug

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

But my brain knows it's Zelda or BG3 to a lesser extent.

damn it's crazy how the only thing you can do in spiderman 2 is play as a deaf girl. It's crazy how there's no such thing as a venom suit or miles morales or even peter parker, the entire game is just woke deaf girl. I feel scammed.
