After elder ring winning goty I stopped listening to these awards. Elden ring is trash, and if that what passes for game of the year, fuck that award and any other like it.
It's OK that you had a bad experience, but don't blame these awards -- pretty much everyone loved the game and it got GOTY from awards but also from critics and the public
Pretty much everyone loved the game? Really? Google "Elden ring is bad" or anything along those lines, it is filled with thousands of threads from different sites where people agree with me about how trash the game is. It's gotta be the most divisive game of the year I've ever seen.
But sure, if you look for them, you'll find people complaining on forums. You'll find people saying the earth is flat too 🤷
As if most of those reviews aren't paid for lol that's why I just go to forums where players are talking, not corporations
I was kind of disappointed with Elden Ring too, from what I played of it.
Just out of curiosity, what was it that you disliked?
A lot of repetition, empty, hollow, ugly world, Sub par graphics, Punishing gameplay (I'm not a fan of spending an hour dying over and over) After like 20 hours of playing I have no idea what the story was or what the game is about.
I reached a point where I just got sick of grinding with no idea why, and to explore more of a world that was utterly uninteresting
Note: it's the first game I've played from the souls series, cause I had no idea it was until I was playing it
So you did not inform yourself before buying it and did not like the Genre? Isnt that Kind of unfair to assume that everyone thinks that way when most reviews were positive? What other games Do you play
I didn't buy it. I borrowed it. Also when a game is given Game of the Year, accessibility should be high up on the list. If it's a niche genre that won't appeal to most and I have to inform myself about before diving it, then it doesn't deserve game of the year.
