So what game do you think deserves this title?

I'll go first: Indiana Jones and the great circle

Black Myth: Wukong.

Haven't played any of the new games, based on lots of reviews, i think Indiana Jones And The Great Circle will be the game of the year

Life is Strange: Double Exposure :love:

Ignore that it uses UE5 and runs like shit, I liked the game itself.

I put like 650 hours into FM since it came out, for me that is impressive because normally I have the attention span of a fruit fly.

I mean I was talking that game of the YEAR, I mean, I have Motorsport 4 on Xbox 360 on my shelf :laugh:

Horizon is a dope game though

It is!

With FM, its the tight competition that I like, it is what kept me hooked on Mario Kart for iOS lol

I can tell when its time to play because the menu music will start playing in my head haha..

You know when a game has a dope OST when it has also a dope menu music. Doom 3, anyone...?

Having a good OST is a hella good part where it goes for being a good game IMO.

…uhhhh… Factory expansion came out for HotA this January, right? So, HoMM 3 is Game of the Year again. As it is in all years, really.

Worst game of the year? Ehh, too many candidates, shovelware aside. I’ll just go for Concord since I like kicking Sony and goddamn if that didn’t escalate from “we spend half a million on this live service” to “game dead as fuck, servers down” quicker than ever. Failed mobile gachas have longer lifespan.

Astrobot on ps5, the immersion of the dualsense controller is just unbelievable. its truly a shame more companies didn't use all the dualsense features properly.

Vayra86 · 2024-12-26T10:58:53+0000

The best games I played this year are the ones they released in 2021-2023 and actually finished by this time, or brought to playable state.

So yeah... GOTY? I'm not playing that game, the games get released in a too sorry state to give them that credit.

Rogue Trader comes to mind, a pleasant surprise, yet a typical Owlcat game nonetheless.
Silent Hill 2 ranks high. Still didn't finish it though, but yeah, that is definitely a worthy remaster.

Technically 2023. I still am to play that since, hell, I haven’t even finished a full playthrough of WotR yet. They still haven’t finished fixing THAT game. RT launch filled me with enough dread to not even attempt that until they reach whatever will be the final patch. Their games are pretty good, but undercooked as hell. Goddamn ~~Russians~~ totally legit Cypriots.

Helldivers 2

Which one deserves the title? Some indie game like Tiny Glade or such.

Which one will get the title? Some generic UE5 stutterfest, 30FPS at native res, RT'd, PT'd game with beautiful screenshots.
