Totk
Bg3
I would be surprised if this doesnt take it overal this year.
It is my 2nd favourite game of the year, but I am very biased towards fighting games and Street Fighter 6 is so damn good.
There have been just way to many great games this year, and honestly dont have enough time(or money) to get through them all.
People are sleeping on Armored Core 6.
It's a good game! Though it does have a more narrow appeal than BG3 does.
I love FromSoft games. I still haven't gotten around to AC6. It launched at such a bad time with so many other games coming out, especially if you have GamePass. BG3 came out about the same time (not on gamepass, but easy purchase), then Starfield (which was frustrating and bad, but still took time), Payday 3 (which is alright but flawed, and hopefully will be improved like PD2 was), and Cities Skylines 2. Notable mention to Counter Strike 2, while not doing anything that new for CS, it's still the thing we've been waiting for for years. I still haven't gotten around to it yet either, but patches are improving things so waiting is good.
As someone who almost 100% it with all shrines... Nah. Totk honestly didn't take enough risks as botw and the new additions were disappointing. The sky islands were copy pasted many times with the same layout, the dungeons were arguably not much better than botw, and the depths all looked the same.
The game is also piss easy once you have enough hearts to tank hits. Still so disappointed I first-tried the final boss.
Still a good game, but 8/10 at best. In a year where much better games came out I wouldn't even nominate it for Goty
I haven't played that yet but BotW is the most over rated game I ever played.
100%
As a fan of the Ocreana and Majora, I was super disappointed with the same dungeon just copy pasted 4 times with basically no story or dialogue. It was a fine enough open world game I guess, but it wasn't a Zelda game.
BotW was great, but not if you were wanting a traditional Zelda.
TotK is hot garbage. They just took BotW and leaned way too hard into the whole "build silly contraptions!!1" thing that some fans were doing with BotW's physics interactions.
What? That does not mean anything? Totk is not even a word
It’s short for Tears of the Kingdom.
Instead of a zelda game, they gave us mid legos and 10 fps. I dont understand how anyone thought it was playable.
Its an expansion for botw, at best.
Not being playable is a bit extreme, it's just boring and tedious, and steps back on its extreme design choices of the predecessor
To me, the stutters down to single-digits made it unplayable. Good for those that perservered?
If you want to disqualify games for quest-breaking glitchiness at launch, BG3 gets disqualified before TotK does.
