30 hours is such a negligible amount of time to “some of us have lives” about. This isn’t an MMO. It’s a weekend blockbuster. And we’re talking about the maximum achievement in a game. 30 hours is a single playthrough, never mind side missions.
From the reviews it sounds like cut loading time is the core of its shorter length, so I’m not making a fuss, I’d just been looking forward to a similar length as SM and MM which took me roughly 50 and 40 to Plat respectively.

Close enough with my 93 but like I said, another GOTY contender, PlayStation has a habit of putting out at least one of those each year

Baldur's Gate is 1000% winning. Industry politics guarantee it.
Other nominations will be Tears of The Kingdom, Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and one of Mario Wonder, Street Fighter 6 or Resident Evil 4.

You spent 40 hours on a single play through of MM? You are insane, that’s a sub 10 hour game.
Just wait for the game to drop in price if minutes per dollar is your main worry. Personally replay ability is much more important and I finished the original three times, and NEVER even attempted to “complete” the game because why would I give a shit about backpacks hidden on some buildings.

You're right. It was the most anticipated game of the century.

I'll be very (and happily) surprised if Wake 2 is in that discussion.

The only studio that got ray tracing right without destroying fps/resolution in current consoles hardware.
Huge mistake to count Hogwarts out. If any game ever deserved a scaled grade, its that one.

Insomniac can't keep getting away with this.
Quality and quantity of output is probably at the forefront of the industry.

I think Mario Wonder is breaking the 90 mark easily as well.
Some crazy good games this year, not including Metroid Prime Remastered that’s currently sat on a 94OC score.

I know it's a popular fanboy line, but PS Studios just hit different. On a technical level if nothing else. Insomniac. Guerrilla. Naughty Dog. These guys are insane for what they pull off.

I've always thought that the story part of Spider-Man was thing that would keep it in the mid-high 80's. We KNOW what Spider-Man is, we know all the stories. The Spider-Man story is a known quantity, so everything else about the game has to be able to elevate it. I've just always thought that it was too much of an ask... but this thing is currently at 91!
So I guess Insomniac were able to elevate the other things around it's story enough to get over the hump. IDK if I'm going to be picking this one up, but it does look very good and the reviews reflect that.

After the previews, I've got little doubt. It's high quality, arthouse-like in its creative direction, somewhat innovative and new with its gameplay features, and the narrative around Remedy is quite sympathetic amongst journalists.

It is the better free-roaming Spider-Man game of the two.

If Starfield is even nominated.... well then the VGA would lose whatever little credibility it has.
But yh, BG3 is winning it, even if I feel it shouldn't win it.

The game awards are just an outgrowth of how the games media views these games. Unfortunately, there's a level of politics to it, which is why it's still possible for Starfield to get a nomination. The scores don't line up with it, and there's plenty of games that are viewed better both critically and fan-wise, but the media might feel obligated to give Xbox this nomination; it's likely to be their last major chance for a while.

Without clicking, how is that similar looking? One image has 3 cars loaded in, the other about 50.

Well, you could say that for Miles and Spiderman Remastered which were mostly native 4k, but here the DRS drops down to 1440p. Thats literally half of native 4k they are targeting here.
Not that I am complaining. I have always wanted devs to stick with 1440p, but clearly the improved ray tracing here is causing some resolution drops.

Textures better, lighting better, npcs in the background better, clearly much more activity and making it look like a living breathing world.
Yeah, you know, basically the same if you're fucking blind.
