I'm already seeing Xbox fanboys threatening to boycott the show. It reminds me of the time Jez Corden and the others had a meltdown when FH5 didn't get nominated.
What's funny bout this is they said the exact same thing when Forza Horizon 5 didn't get nominated and look where we at today. The same clowns tuning in to the livestream to watch the nomination announcements. Boycott my ass. Lol.

Why does reeee hate FFXVI so much but defends starfield. It makes no sense. What did FFXVI do to them?
Western Gaming media itself has had an issue with the franchise... It needs to eventually be addressed.

Adding Blizzard already for a game they had literally zero involvement? I can't believe they are going to count 4 separate publishers under "Microsoft" 🙄
- Final Fanatsy XVI : 4
- Resident Evil 4 Remake : 3
As I said earlier, Re4 is taking FF16 place. I'm wondering if the PS5 exclusivity played a role in this injustice?

M$ now owns ABK.

As for this year's nominated games, Microsoft deserves no credit for this.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is an excellent remake of GOTY2005, the game that revolutionized TPS.
We could put FF16 or Hogwarts Legacy in its place. but when I see some of the average or even mediocre games released this year, RE4R more than deserves its place.

Resident Evil 4 was a better received game than FF16 ...
Sure, if you're talking Metacritic scores but remakes should get their own category. We get enough per year to warrant that.

It won best Playstation game at Joystick awards and now it's getting nominated at TGA. It's getting dumb. Enough.

It's the same story, characters, enemies, locations etc. Maybe in a slow year a remake could get nominated for GOTY but 2023, seriously?

My prediction was...

Baldur's Gate 3
Hogwarts Legends
Zelda: Tears of Kingdom
Spider-man 2
Super Mario Wonder
Remake 4

I did not believe Alan Wake 2 could pull it and remove Hogwarts Legends from the list.
Outside that my prediction (after somebody pointed I missed Super Mario Wonder) turned out very accurate.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the winner imo.
It is these rare cases where the developer keep delaying the launch to add even more quality to the game instead to clean the house like most devs.

Did you show the Darkness what Light can do?

Solid picks. Happy to see FF16 get snubbed (cuz it’s trash).

It’s BG3 or Zelda. Coin flip it

While I believe BG3 did more as game I can understand the choice of Zelda for GOTY too.
They are the two very best releases this year.
So either I will be happy.

I would expect TGA’s to be more casual so I could see them giving it to Zelda. But BG3 isn’t a sales slouch either so who knows.

I’m only watching for the trailers 😬
