Best 2D Mario since World, and belongs in the same tier as Mario World and Mario 3.

Why? It's a fantastic and FUN game. It's what gaming should be about. Not these "all flash and no substance" games.

It had good combat but the story, world, and characters were incredibly boring. Mostly a disappointment

Yeesh. I thought Alan Wake was supposed to be bad? And Spiderman is just another sandbox chore game?

Long live Indies

Baldur's Gate deserves to win for being what games are meant to strive for.

Funny how 6 months ago the conversation was that BG3 had no chance because the big AAA titles were going to completely destroy it. Now that those games came and went with pretty middling reviews while BG3 looks to be the clear winner by a country mile the narrative has changed to whatever this is lol

Well start needing a new Best Gollum-like genre to commemorate the best worst game of the year after the revolutionary releases of these gems all in 1 year

I saw someone complaining about that game on reddit. Said the puzzles reminded them of a 90s adventure game (moon logic puzzles).

Is this true for those who've played it?

Surprise at Alan Wake himself not nominated for Best Performance, but they either were limiting it to one per game, or they really wanted Idris Elba on there.

tbh i hated bg3
couldn't even make it out of the beach area
combat was slow, clunky and overcomplicated

you collect like half the cast in the first 20 minutes, and while they have a tenous reason to stick together, it kind of just feels forced and stupid.

the cast themselves are melodramatic weiners that really just epitomize overwrought western RP. even the dude i thought i would like the most and intended to romance i hated the second i met him

there hasnt been a quality wrpg since DA:O, writing wise, anyways
larian games are all just terribly self serious and it makes me feel like i'm hanging out with a bunch of shitty MMO RPers that dont realize they're larping as cheesy shounen protagonists but devoid of the fun

My non-american, non-white friends tell me that BG3 is only so popular and winning so many awards because it's "the white boy PC game of the decade", also referring to the D&D aspects. As such, the west will be heavily biased towards BG3.

I think the hype around the game revolved around all the choices the players can make, an something about a bear or something. Its like Mass Effect choices with meaningful outcomes as far as I heard.
