Baldur’s Gate without a shadow of a doubt. It’s the best game since Elden Ring which amazingly was only a year ago.

Yeah I’m thinking BG3 seems to have the affection of the industry this year, in a similar way that Elden Ring had it last year. Maybe not quite on the level of Elden Ring, but it does appear to be the critical darling of 2023. I think it gets the upset over Zelda this year.

Has to be Baldurs Gate for me. That’s surprised many and has been really good.

Sekiro actually took skill. AC6 is more build/loadout dependent versus skill. The difficulty curve in AC6 is ridiculous. It goes from pew pew missions to curb stomping your face with boss fights.

If BG3 or ToTK wins and sets a trend of some kind with their open endedness in their gameplay there is a chance that we as players win as well.

That’s what Armored Core is all about, the reason I fell in love with AC series in the first place…so I highly disagree with you.

TOTK possibubbly the best game ever designed
BG3 is not cormplete and buggy last act will drag it down to 95 or 94 eventurally
nobody else can compete

It's Tears Of The Kingdom.
It was never going to be anything other than Tears Of The Kingdom.
It's a masterpiece.

TOTK ended up being top 5 game of all time, it will cruise to GOTY.

BG 3 shook the industry
It will be a tough one between Totk/BG 3, like Bloodborne/TW 3 was in 2015
But just like Bloodborne, TotK is a natural evolution of past games. Damn good, but nothing surprising.
TW 3 was surprising af. I wasnt even going to buy it on release, and now its one of my favorite games. Inspired tons of open world games going forward.
I expect the same with BG 3, hopefuly

Baldur's Gate 3 is by far the game to get. Ironically it's out on PS5 in 6 days.

Zelda.
BG3 on consoles is still a no show, and with it having inconsistent performance throughout the game on PC, I’m starting to wonder if they are afraid to show it. Maybe they don’t want to happen with Starfield, with saying it’s locked at 30 fps.

Agreed. If only BG3 had a real release date on a* console.
Baldur’s Gate 3 will debut Sony PS5 gameplay at PAX West 2023
Larian Studios confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 3 for the Sony PS5 will debut gameplay teasers at PAX West this September 2023.

I’m saying we haven’t seen console gameplay, PS5 or Xbox. Unless it’s been shown in the last week or so. Starfield has taken my focus.Agreed. If only BG3 had a real release date on a* console.

Just saw the reviews for Starfield. An 88 OC is pretty solid and right about what I thought it would be (85-95).
From your list though if I had to pick the next game that I would play it would be FFXVI. BG3 would be a really really close second for me.

Zelda and BG3
Will be interesting to see the split at the end. Don't think any other game comes close to either.

I love Final Fantasy...even the shit ones (never played MMO) but as much as I'd love to see it get some recognition, it's Zelda sweep.
Oddly, the media fellatio for TotK ended alot quicker than BotW so we may see some spreading of awards. Hopefully some smaller (Non AAA) games get love.

Hogwarts deserves a nom, but I doubt it gets it. Too many other great games have come out this year that can take it's place that won't give it any of the blowback that a Hogwarts nom would get.

BG3 deserves it, but I'd give a nod to ToTK and HL, those are really the only 3 games I'd even consider nominating at this point.

1. Baldur's Gate 3
2. Zelda TOTK
Starfield's release will have 0 bearings on this. It was always going to be between BG3 and Zelda.

Also I get people saying it's between Zelda and BG3, but to me it's not close. You can't fuck a Bear or swear your alleigence to an ancient Eldritch horror in Tears of the Wild.

Can't recommend anything else than BG3. I'm not even a fan of CRPGs being all honest here, but Larian deserves to win GOTY.

TotK will win, just based on game sales alone. The Dorito's Pope show is based on popularity and vote-ins.

Between baldurs gate and spidey 2. I have a feeling there is a lot more to spiderman that we haven't seen yet
You can create a giant penis monster and war crime torture machines in TOTK thoAlso I get people saying it's between Zelda and BG3, but to me it's not close. You can't fuck a Bear or swear your alleigence to an ancient Eldritch horror in Tears of the Wild.

Im fine with either zelda or bg3
I agree with what some others have said about the TOTK hype dying down pretty quickly, I don’t think it had the same impact as release as BOTW so I think BG3 will edge it. They’ll both have GOTY awards in the hundreds when the dust has settled with maybe a few other games in double figures

Of the games listed I'd Say Baldur's Gate 3.
RE4 could be considered if the VR version is released this year. Absolute wizardry.
