Starfield, Final Fantasy 16, Zelda and Spiderman 2 are going to be played by the most voters so those are the safest and only realistic picks. I expect baldurs gate 3 to be much better than all of those.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
The games I'm most expecting for 2023 are ... Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield.
Have you played BG3? How does it fare compared to BG2? I played it this year and man, I loved that game, specially the lengthy sidequests and the overall sense of adventure.

Waiting for the final release before playing Baldur's Gate 3. Larian Studios previous games (Divinity Original Sin series) tells me it's going to be great.

Tears of the Kingdom
Spider-Man 2
Starfield
Final Fantasy XVI
Diablo IV

The surest bets to me for now. There’s also indies like Tchia, Little Devil Inside & Replaced I have on my radar for games next year.

Starfield
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Final Fantasy 16
Star Wars Jedi Survivor
Spiderman 2

Are the obvious choices imo , i think possibly Starfield and or Star Wars get usurped by some surprise games e.g Hades , It takes two

Zelda BotW2
Spider-Man 2
Street Fighter 6
Final Fantaxy XVI
Starfield
RE4R

I will never understand why Sony or MS never funded Bayonetta.
Because it never had good sales. Plus in the case of Sony, because they have the best selling hack & slash series: God of War plus all the other hack & slash titles except Bayonetta.

But someone just told me Bayonetta 3 was more fun than Elden Ring? I r confused. Who do I believe? Which NeoGaf oracle is lying to me?

Some people may prefer Bayonetta 3 over Elden Ring. But looking at sales the Souls -specially Elden Ring- sell better than Bayo games, so I assume way more people prefer them over Bayonetta.

My bet is on Starfield, FFXVI, Zelda and Spiderman.

goty generally tend to favor mass appeal and story based games.
 
2022 is not a wrap. Elden Ring, Ragnarök and Horizon are obvious nominations, but I think the other 3 are up in the air. I would guess Xenoblade, Plague Tale and Bayonetta though.

It’s kinda sad that four of the games are essentially a lock for the nominations before we have played or barely even seen the games. Zelda, Starfield, Spider-Man, FFXVI. We might as well do the GOTY 2023 right now…

Starfield, Spider-Man 2, Jedi Survivor

Or at least these are the ones that I'm psyched for the most. I don't really give a shit about GOTY awards. They're about as much of a joke as the Oscars are.
 
RE4 has a lot of votes but if we’re talking The Game Awards I doubt it will make it. There are a lot of games coming next year so a remake will likely be passed over for nominations.
 
Starfield, REmake4, Zelda, SFVI, Spider man 2 all seem like the strongest contenders.

Though I will say, I think Nintendo has something for new hardware as well.
 
TOTK is obvious going to win everything.

Other than that the only real contender is Starfield. I hope Diablo IV, Motorsport, and Hogwarts Legacy are good but I don't think they'll be GOTY. Motorsport I'm not too worried about...Forza is the best car series going right now and it'd take a lot to fuck it up. Diablo IV looks good on paper so far but we'll see what bullshit Blizzard get up to. As big a HP fan as I am, I'm probably most worried about this. It's being made by a studio who had only worked on mostly Disney shit with the most well known game probably being Disney Infinity series. They could pull it off but I just mean HL looks far more ambitious than anything they've done before.

Zelda is gonna overrate his way to victory once again.

Starfield as a frontrunner.

Lol at people thinking that ff16 is gonna beat these 2

Starfield will be a buggy mess of a game, and I will love it. I don't expect it will be GOTY material.
Probably going to be Zelda.
