GOTY noms for The Game Awards feel off. No Armored Core VI, no fighting game reps, but a remake and Mario Wonder got nominated?
Yeah I think TotK, SM2, and BG3 are the only ones with realistic shots. TotK is in an odd spot as itβs a vast improvement on a GOTY winner, but that was a GOTY winner six years ago. The industry has moved on, so itβs not clear if the buff is enough.
Honestly this year in general feels off. Like I enjoyed my time with AC6 and BG3 but they both have enough issues that I feel hold them back from being truly great. Then again, I don't think I played anything else that came out this year (excluding Starfield which, lol). RE4 doesn't belong on that list, remakes should be automatically disqualified. Also, no fighting game will ever make it onto a mainstream GOTY list because the FGC is tiny compared to the general gaming community.
Fuck it, just give it to Elden Ring a second time.
AC6 may be more niche than other From games but oh boy do I love that game.
I feel like it promised more souls DNA in it. I don't know why I was surprised it was armored core
Nah, streetfighter is good, but fighting games still haven't cracked the code to becoming good games. We enjoy them immensely, but they are never going to be mainstream in the way an ending ring is
