MODERATORS
Dead Space was on the nominations list...
At least it's a new game. PS got RE4 remaster. It's not bad but funny.
It's a remake. But yeah, not different enough to justify calling it a totally new game like you can with 2 or 3.
Starfield for the xbox? Poor xbox...
I‘m quite enjoying it.
Me too, and I don't recall much other competition. Forza Motorsport had promise, but definitely needed another 6mo to cook
Me too, and I don't recall much other competition.
That’s mainly because the xbox gaming landscape is a wasteland.
I‘m quite enjoying it.
What are you playing Starfield or the other game?
Right now I’m mainly playing Starfield, have started Alan Wake remastered and only quickly tested Forza Motorsport.
Before Starfield came out I played through some of the Game Pass Library: AC Origins, A short Hike, Bramble, Quake II, Lego Starwars, Lego City Undercover, Planet of Lana, Tunic, lots of Witcher 3, A Plague Tale Requiem, High on Life, Starwars Jedi Fallen Order and many more.
So basically a both xbox games (Starfield & Forza) and a bunch of old, multiplat and indie games.
Not really a good reason to get an xbox over a PS5 which has a string of amazing exclusives. Let alone the fact that there is no VR support on xbox (why even bother releasing a racing game without VR in 2023?).
I paid 500€ for a Xbox Series X and three years of Game Pass Ultimate, and as I said twice before:
I‘m quite enjoying it.
Imagine having to play mediocre games for three years.
The Xbox GOTY is baffling. You had Dead Space, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush as the nominees and they picked Starfield? I get it's the most popular but all three of those were way better. Hi-Fi Rush got scammed.
The rest of the rewards seem good. I'm glad Cocoon got some recognition.
Recency bias at work
Xbox paid for Jankfield to win
Not surprised by bg3 though I am surprised with MK1 taking best multi-player. I guess fighting gamers must be really happy with the recent releases!
The game released on the 19th September, Nominated games had to be released before the 29th September. Golden Joysticks voting was from the 3rd to the 20th October, and the premium DLC that made everyone angry was confirmed on the 24th and then released on the 27th. The timing could absolutely not have fallen more perfectly for MK1.
MK1 winning over SF6 is such a fucking joke lmao
The winners are the games on my hard drive.
What a magnificent year for Nintendo, a console with very old hardware being in their probably last year, coming with this line-up is just amazing.
It does goes to show hardware isn’t everything. In fact it’s a pretty small factor for most if the games are fun.
...which is Nintendo's strategy since the Gameboy.
It's why I've never felt the same ire as those who talk about Nintendo being generations behind. They generally make fun games that age well aesthetically, and I'll play those games often.
Ben Starr deserved his Best Lead Performer win. His performance as Clive Rosfield in FFXVI is one of the best I’ve ever heard. The game also won Best Audio, which is also well-deserved in my opinion. Game of the Year was obivous, but I don’t think Resi 4 Remake should have gotten the PS GOTY. Starfield as Xbox GOTY seems controversial, but I’m fine with it.
Hell yeah! Voted for all the BG3 stuff but the "Playstatiom Game of the Year?" also voted for RE4 hoping it would win and sure enough, it did!
God I love those two games so much
