The TGA 23 Fan Vote results (so far) show that Fans and Critics mostly feel the same about 2023
- Thread starter Kemono
- Start date
Baller's Gate on top, where it should be. And Phantom Liberty nipping at Zelda's heels, you love to see it
I like Andromeda too, but come on, it's pretty objectively not near the quality of the previous trilogy, at least as far as narrative and world-building are concerned, and besides, it was buggy as all get-out on release.
...i just said its not a bad game
i dont rate 2 and 3 nearly that high to begin with so maybe that helped me liking it more.
Oh I just meant all that as an explanation as to why it was used as an example of a 'big disappointment' in the eyes of many.
Did it though? Don't get me wrong it was a high-profile game but I got the impression that the writing was on the wall with what that game was a long time before release. The big ME3 scandal felt like it lowered expectations to me as well.
Either way I don't think the expectation was on the same scale at SF.
It did.
Starfield had similar "writing on the wall" when release approached (and people started hearing about empty planets and no space travel etcetera) but just like andromeda many were still full of hope and hype for it
Remember that Andromeda was a big multiplatform release unlike Starfield so a lot more loud people in lot more places were expecting it anxiously too
I suppose you can't really quantify hype and expectation. To me one was the 4th entry in a story that had already been completed which I was going to play but maybe not day 1. The other was the next big Bethesda RPG that I was going to get lost in for months, that I was playing day 1, expected to be my GotY, bought a Series X for and took a day off work at launch.
" Baldur's Gate 3 is over 10.000 votes ahead"
this is what surprised me the most. not that bg3 is ahead, but the number of people who are willing to create an account for this.

A bit yeah. This is a BGS game which out pace single player FF titles so in theory Starfield should do better.
Kinda shows how poor Stafield has landed with fans.
You can also link to existing X, Google, Facebook accounts and vote. Doesnt take that long.
That said, BG3 is just that game this year.
I think with Baldur's Gate 3 it's a self-fullfilling prophecy. I myself would even vote for it even though I didn't play much of it. I think it's just the hype around this game that sways many to vote for it blindly (even though it is a great game of course).
For me personally, Alan Wake 2 has taken the crown for Game of the Year just recently.

I highly recommend watching the GDC Indie Games Fest and Game Developers Choice Awards every year. Those recognize both raw technical prowess and innovation.
Here's last year's:

Despite my issues with XVI, I definitely found it more enjoyable than Starfield.
Same.
I know it gets beat up for it, but the constant loading in Starfield just really killed it for me.
lol
I mean it's just a silly little vote, so not a big deal, but it's very funny they just left that in the wild.
Phantom being 3rd is sweet that's right were id put it. Though id put Alan wake 2 where TOTK is
You have love seeing No Man's Sky in the top 20. The game just won't stop.
Feels like a very popular game that doesn't get a lot of talk. A sleeper hit. Would have liked to see it at least appear on the list.

On a sort of associated matter, each time I go back to TGAs website, my votes have reset and i have to revote.
how do i guarantee my votes stick?

I voted Lies of P, Octopath 2 and Hifi
Doing my part as well but they have you pick 10 games! So yeah everyone is gonna put BG3 in their list along with their personal picks
Should have limited the votes more. I would have excluded BG3 just cuz I know its gonna sweep elsewhere

Honestly the biggest takeaway for me is that, if it were left up to fans, Mario wouldn't have been nominated for GOTY. It would have been interesting to see Phantom Liberty, Hi-Fi Rush, or Lies of P make the cut instead (even if none of them would effect what wins).
Hi-Fi rush getting 7th is fine to me.
If it's gonna get robbed out of the top 6, at least it's only robbed by one place.

BALDUR'S GATE SWEEP
Though I'm playing Alan Wake right now and it absolutely deserves to win something and the only reason it won't is because people aren't playing it.

I mean...if one didnt care to vote at all....they wouldnt be a fan. In a sense.
You have to be a fan of something to vote, even if its to not vote for a game. This post is interesting in relation to this:
That is something.
This sounds amazing and I will go trough the videos asap. There's also an outlet spotlighting a lot of niche indie games in their goty awards but unfortunately I forgot the name. :I
2023 was a year of non stop bangers. I am still playing catch up but man has it been a fun ride
Censoring it actually brings more attention to it now, should have just been one in the list like any other. Now it's definitely on a pedestal and an eyesore in the list.
