MULTI Game of the Year 2023 Award - Predictions

[CerebralTiger]

Expansions are never nominated for GOTY.

Had it not been in consideration for GOTY, it wouldn't have been an option to pick for the players' voice GOTY award.

The list also includes games not even released in 2023

Those are live service games, therefore their inclusion is valid as per TGA

Moment of silence for Burning Lulz and Xenolulz joke of an expansion

Still waiting for CerebralTiger to disprove this:

Show me 1 expansion that was ever nominated for GoTY since TGA began

 

[Necrokiller]

Didn't wait for anything. Finished the main story last night. Great game.

Already Voted for Alan Wake 2 as Game of the year & Best Game Direction Nominees.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Still waiting for CerebralTiger to disprove this

An expansion not being nominated for TGA's GOTY since its inception doesn't mean it wasn't considered, as the inclusion of Phantom Lulz in the public voice category has proven

Necrokiller acting like TGAs are the only awards in the industry

An expansion not being nominated for TGA's GOTY since its inception doesn't mean it wasn't considered

It also doesn't mean that the industry at large nominates expansions for GoTY since it has never happened at the TGA to this date

as the inclusion of Phantom Lulz in the public voice category has proven

And Burning Lulz and Xenolulz Chronicles 3 Future (not so) Redeemed didn't even make that list LMFA

Necrokiller acting like TGAs are the only awards in the industry

Says the guy who is tracking TGA and has even made an account there for voting HAHAHAHA

 

[CerebralTiger]

Burning Lulz failed to utilize the new mechanics in meaningful ways. It's better than the base game, but that's about it. Not sure why it's even brought up. Surely an expansion that took 3 years to make after the base game's release would turn out better?

Says the guy who is tracking TGA and has even made an account there for voting HAHAHAHA

Tracking TGA as one of many certified GOTY awards

 

[Necrokiller]

It's better than the base game, but that's about it.

It ain't tho

Not sure why it's even brought up.

Awwwww, lemme remind you then:

Going underwater on the flying mount and then back into the air with that level of detail is the kind of stuff that screams "next-gen" to me, not path-tracing lulz. The flying mount could've been faster tho.

Not to mention, my original remark was regarding the expansion pushing the game further on a technical level to offer new gameplay opportunities, and it has done so quite well. The final boss alone is a "Holy Sh*t!" moment

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA such praise, much 82 metascore

Surely an expansion that took 3 years to make after the base game's release would turn out better?

It did, it has more nominations than Burning Lulz and Jokeblade Chronicles 3's expansion
