I can't imagine an scenario where BG3 doesn't win the GOTY.
Would be a crime if it doesn’t imo, although I heard a lot of praise for Zelda, I’m just not into those games
I have played Zelda, but not BG3, and I agree that BG3 should win.
S'ok, I've played both and I too agree BG3 should win, haha.
The zoomers LOVE Spider-Man tho, I think that could also be a contender
Not a zoomer, but I loved Spider-Man, didn't play BG3, but I still think BG3 should win. My Spider-Man 2 experience was too buggy for me to consider it for GOTY, the story was great, and if they had delayed the game until next year, I probably would have considered it a contender then.
BG3 was an event though, I'm not really into RPGs but it felt like that game was everywhere like Animal Crossing: New Horizons was in 2020.
Fair! I had the same experience as you (down to having a faulty disc 💀). My friend circle loves Spider-Man 2, though admittedly they are more casual gamers than the people on Lemmy probably. That is definitely biasing my outlook.
Additionally, Spider-Man 2 had the same problem as TotK for me, which is similar gameplay mechanics without fixing the flaws or significant additions/changes from the first game (though ultrahand in TotK is pretty cool…)
GotY for me personally is probably between BG3 or Alan Wake 2 from the list.
