    Wait, you forgot to mention Balatro when you were talking about this year's GOTY contenders. It really stands out to me because it is one of the only games nominated for Game of the Year that doesn't have any narrative elements at all, and is there solely on the strength of its deceptively simple yet adictive game loop. It is cool to see a game devoid of all the bells and whistles that we kinda expect of modern video games competing for the top spot against juggernauts with budgets millions of times its size.
    That said, Metaphor Refantazio is my actual game of the year pick. As a big JRPG fan, it is very exciting to see two nominated this year, and Metaphor in particular delivers just about everything I want from a game like this. All the while expanding on ideas and mechanics of past ATLUS games in ways that are simultaneously familiar yet refreshingly new. Though, it is worth mentioning I was still playing rounds of Balatro between long play sessions of Metaphor.

      @@zecharius It's a roguelike card game/deck building game, vaguely based on poker, which the dev doesn't even like.
      I started playing because so many people were and the hype was so popular for it. My SO did the same. We still play it a lot. It's great. Much like the dev, we also do not play poker nor have any poker interest.
      If you like any card games (including mtg, or "normal" card games) give it a go. It took like 3-5 runs before I really got into it.
      I still unlock new card possibilities for future runs which makes new runs fun and interesting. I think I only had 2 successful runs.

    The link between Dark Souls and mental health doesn't surprise me. I played Bloodborne in 2016 in the lead up to my final high school exams. I was beyond stressed over them, but picked up Bloodborne on a whim. Struggling with but EVENTUALLY overcoming such a hard game was really rewarding, and showed me that I could overcome any challenge. The exams turned out to be waaaay easier than Bloodborne lmao.

Fought him probably 40 plus times (first time strength build with a Zweihander), those stupid dogs were the biggest issue.

    Fun fact: Dragon age may feel like BG3, because Bioware made the first two Baldur's Gate games in the series. They switched to dragon age, and the series laid dormant until Larian picked it up and did BG3!

    • @mikehorne4053
      @mikehorne4053 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      The "Bioware formula" of a narrative RPG with romanceable companions each having their own quest lines all surrounding a complex and reactive world has been around since Baldur's Gate released in 1998.
      I think it's more that Larian wanted BG3 to be that narrative, reactive, and character-driven style of RPG moreso than it being a Baldur's Gate game.
      For example, Divinity Original Sin 2 by Larian before they made BG3 has a lot of that same feel.

    As someone who has been a Dragon Age fan since 2015, I want to give a bit of a heads up for Veilguard-- it looks pretty but it lacks the depth, conflict and good writing that the previous Dragon Age games had.
    It's basically an action adventure game masquerading as an RPG/Dragon Age game-- previous choices from other games do not import to Veilguard (save for 3 from DAI), the approval/disapproval system only adds XP to the companions, the combat is more fast paced with limited pausing and little strategy and the writing is incredibly "evil vs good", weirdly modern and soft. It's a shame because Origins, 2 and Inquisition are such solid games in their own ways, but Veilguard fell flat for a looot of people.
    If you want to play a goody two shoes character in a game with action gameplay and you don't care much for the deep lore, it'll be fun. Otherwise... yeah, needless to say myself and many others are disappointed. And no, it definitely would not have deserved GOTY, and I'm not surprised it only got one nomination.
    Anyways, sorry for the tirade but wanted to give a disclaimer to any new Dragon Age fans such as yourself ! Feel free to ask questions if you have any. (Also, just discovered you; great video, immediate subscription!!)

      I disagree, the game's writing isn't bad, but it is clearly rushed because of the development hell and consant cycling of writers for the game. The highs are higher than the lows are low, so at worst I'd say it feels a little stilted in the beginning and gets better once the writers don't have to do any more exposition.
      The idea that Veilguard doesn't have "deep lore" is silly when it's probably the deepest in the lore the series has gotten. It just doesn't worry about Southern Thedas, because you aren't there.
      Dragon age has also always been evil vs. good, you can never be a villain in the Dragon Age games. Sure you can be a dick, or do some very questionable things, but at the end of it all you are still the hero who saves the world. Each game has a reason for why you can be an asshole though, but Veilguard doesn't have a justifiable reason Rook could be like that. If Rook is an asshole, no one would follow them.
      Also talking about the combat is silly, Action RPGs aren't anything new, and most people do in fact prefer them to real time with pause. Especially comsole players.

      @Digger-Nick i played elden ring for the first time this year and I strongly disagree with this. Almost every inch of the map has something to fight, collect, or explore. There are lots of reasons to re-tread old areas. Hidden secrets. Side quests which feel worth your time because they unlock useful weapons or abilities instead of just useless collectibles like a lot of other games.
      My biggest fear coming into it was that I'd be put off by the difficulty but honestly, once I overcame my initial frustration with it, it became super addictive.

      I think story wise RDR2 is better (and that’s saying a lot) but as a complete package GOW 2018 is a bit more airtight than RDR2. RDR2 is way too long, the sidequests can get a bit restrained and tedious, and the combat really drags by the end.
      All that said, it’s still the best story told in video games, but I see why GOW won.

      @@dashman8499 I can see what you mean, but RDR2 is not only the best story told game, it is also the best open world - single player game. As well as the npc dialogues and honor system where it affects your ending. Everything you do in Red Dead Impact what the ending becomes and what your fate is, the same cannot be told for GOW. I would also argue that Arthur Morgan is the better main character, and that Red Dead has more impactful side characters than GOW. When you, collect all of that together. I think that RDR2 was indeed robbed.

      @@danbanan6322 In my opinion from an open world single player experience, Elden Ring beats it in every regard, except story. The honor system felt half baked outside of the ending. GOW has alot of great side quests that deepen Kratos and Atreus' relationship, for me, the side quests are alot more fruitful in that game. Arthur Morgan is my favorite video game character of all time. I do prefer RDR2's cjharcters overall, but GOW works better as a complete picture. If I take a step back, I have less issues with GOW than RDR2, even if I love both. I'll be more willing to play GOW again, but I'll be more willing to watch cutscenes from RDR2.

      @@ZFCaio That is...weird to say. I mean, to each their own, certainly but saying that BG3 is just another divinity and disco elysium is a bad faith argument. (As you can guess from the pfp, i have nothing against aforementioned games, I love disco elysium).
      You can say the same for any game. Oh, tears of the kingdom is just another breath of the wild. Persona 5 is just another persona 3 or 4. Metal: Hellsinger is just doom. Terraria is just another minecraft.
      You get what I am saying. Purposely ignoring the stuff that makes a game unique in order to portray it as worse than another game is just not a good argument imo. I personally liked BG3 more than tears of the kingdom but I won't deny that even if tears of the kingdom won, I wouldn't be mad. Both have their merits and we should definitely not bring down one game to bring up another.

      LOL comparing disco elysium to bg3 is a terrible take. Being isometric doesn't make them any more similar in mechanics, story or anything, really. Bg3 is insane and deserved every single award, though I did love TOTK as well.

    Imma be straight up elden ring exploration was amazing but…. It’s gameplay is less fun and creative then some of their other titles like sekiro and blood borne. I mean it’s a pretty easy game when you understand the mechanics and doesn’t keep you as much on your toes. I mean literally level strength find 2 big swords and jump attack literally makes the game brain dead ez.
