I think this may be the first year where I agree with the majority of the winners. There were a few that were kind of iffy, such as Alan Wake 2 winning Best Art Direction (Best Graphics sure, but art is separate from graphics) and Baldur's Gate 3 winning best multiplayer when it's multiplayer is just party co-op that Larian themselves said most players aren't using (instead choosing to play it as a singleplayer game). However, overall a very solid show for the actual winner choices.
Wasn't a fan of how most of the awards were just listed off rapid fire though, instead of getting proper nomination introductions and winner speeches.
Spider-Man and Starfield haven't won a single award, that's a bit unexpected.
Starfield didn't get nominated for anything. So it not getting anything is expected.
It was nominated for best RPG, but I think the winner there was pretty obvious.
Oh it was? I missed that. Thank you for informing me.
Sea of trailers... oh also we had some awards btw. Here are the results. :P Love the Game Awards format. Imagine if Oscars was just 50 minutes of trailers followed by 10 minutes of "Oh by the way, best actor is Danial Day-Lewis, again".
Okay but who won Most Anticipated Esports Coach in a VR Game?
BG3 is 100% overrated, but at the same time I feel like it was the one that deserved it most. I didn't have a clear GOTY this year.
Action adventure for Alan wake 2 and re4 is such a disgrace
When u have dead space remake waiting in the wings for best survival horror game awards.
I thought Zelda was rpg?
I think the nominees are all in disarray,
I'm just happy that Sea of Stars won indie
There's some overlap but I do think they should add more genres. Horror and Puzzle would make sense
You don't level up your character or collect experience points in Zelda, so it's not an RPG.
Yea I don't really see how Zelda is an RPG either.
