The big winner is - not entirely unexpected I suppose - Baldur’s Gate 3, scoring 5 categories directly.
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

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

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

What a magnificent year for Nintendo, a console with very old hardware being in their probably last year, coming with this line-up was just amazing.

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

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.

Really there was nothing better than Starfield this year? Smh

At least it’s a new game. PS got RE4 remaster. It’s not bad but funny.
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s a remake. But yeah, not different enough to justify calling it a totally new game like you can with 2 or 3.

Dead Space was on the nominations list…
