To BG3 fans in the comments, I’d just like y’all to know. I started an honor play through last night, intruded on the two having a… night of passion, and tpk’d my entire party. It was… great.
Not to mention Venom is only playable apparently in one part, near the very end, cant swing, and only has one or two combos. Its worse than Darth Vader in the beginning of Force Awakens. But at least we got to do a ton as Vader.

Just a thought: Are you even a gamer if you never heard of Baldur's Gate? Even if you don't know D&D, Baldur's Gate videogames have been out there for 25 years and are loved by gamers. I knew it, never played it though, until Baldur's Gate 3.

How did these people think Spider-Man 2 was going to win game of the year even after it didn't win best action/adventure? If ToTK is better than SM2, how could SM2 suddenly be the best game? I understand they're playing it up for their audience but they just come across as genuine, underdeveloped manchildren.

9:45 “Ain’t nobody play Zelda” My brother in Christ TOTK is the fourth best selling in a franchise that perfected their formula in ALOTTP, revolutionized 3d with OOT, and started the open world game craze with BOTW😭😭😭
I really don't understand why Spider-Man 2 has become the game people think got robbed when Tears of the Kingdom literally exists and is far and away the best game to release last year. Spider-Man 2 was fun but nothing crazy yet somehow the only people I see complaining about BG3 winning GOTY are Spider-Man fans? Before TGA I thought it was going to be a TotK vs BG3 race just like the year before was entirely Elden Ring vs God of War and then suddenly people were expecting Spider-Man to win GOTY? How? That's like being surprised Horizon didn't win in 2022?
Well, to be fair, there's been a lot of online hate from the TotK people as well, it's just been mostly confined to Twitter posts. There's a different guy who made a video about all the salt that came from the Nintendo side, and some of those comments were wild. I think the only steamer who made a big stink was some guy named Harmon? Not enough for a full reaction video.
Man, I'd love to see these people try to play some old Rogue or Dwarf Fortress, stuff like that. "What? A game where you have to read and has turns??? You can't kill people spamming the circle???"
I enjoyed playing Spider-Man 2, but damn have I had more fun and spent so much more time playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and replaying Cyberpunk 2077 (Phantom Liberty) this year. Fan-boys just love throwing shade at games they’ve never played.
I call bs on all these streamers who claim they never heard of the game. There were freaking articles about BG3 *everywhere*, especially after game devs got so spooked they started insulting the game on social media. I wasn't even trying to look for info, and I was bombarded with stuff on both MSN and YT. No way someone who deals with games as their primary content didn't get a ton of BG3 post recommended to them. You had to be living under a freaking BOULDER to not have seen anything at all about that game.
I knew of it simply from the Astarion things I was seeing online. He was everywhere at one stage, ended up playing it with my friend a few months ago and loved it. Bought a PlayStation just to play it 😂
@@celestebigaignon6054 I know right? Even with the game in early access, I can excuse saying you didn't know about it before release; even I only heard about it a couple of days before, although since I don't make my *living* focusing on games I think I have more of a pass. But after release, that game was freaking *everywhere*. You didn't just have to be living under a rock, you needed a whole *mountain* to avoid seeing it. Any professional game streamer that claims they never heard of it is full of crap.
This. Honestly I don’t even know how SM2 got nominated in the first place. If BG3 didn’t exist, it would be a competition between Alan Wake 2 and Zelda. If they didn’t exist too, it would be Mario or RE4. I really don’t think Spider-Man had any chances against any of them, not to mention all combined. If I had to pick nominees, I would’ve excluded it entirely from the GOTY nomination and included Hi-Fi Rush or Armored Core 6 instead. And I don’t even hate Spider-Man 2, it’s a decent game. Just not up to the standards of many other games of 2023
This has both given me hope and taken hope for the game industry. I get hope from BG3 winning so we as games fans are no longer suffering trash all the time, however, these dudes glazing the game devs while getting their mouths washed by baldurs meat makes me so sad.
The only reasons i havent played Alan Wake 2 yet is because too many fire games came out in 2023 and i heard it was particularly resource intensive to run, which im not sure my specs could handle at a good quality
Would just love to mention as a Controller gamer of Baldur's Gate 3. On controller the game is a 3D camera follow game like Spiderman or god of war if you just zoom the camera all the way in. So I truly see how they didn't actually experience shit from the game lmao.
The funniest and most insane shit about these sony fanboys is that the only reason they were this upset is the fact that spider-man had to be their champion this year. If Alan Wake 2 were a ps5 exclusive they would have been exclusively discussing and championing only that one since it got some awards.
@@erfarkrasnobay Yeah for now, but nowhere near as popular as spider-man, I highly doubt a lot of sony fanboys would have played that one while Alan Wake is right up their alley: Handholding, story and graphics oriented, partial walking simulator, 0 challenge, almost no player agency but it came out on Xbox too so it doesn't exist as a choice for the fanboys :D That is how stupid these people are.
the guy at 7 minutes is actually playing through BG3 and loves it. No clue who he is but ive been seein him for the last twoish weeks playin on tiktok live
11:43 that guy is commonly known as Flute Guy and is a lot of people's favorite part about the GOTY orchestra. He also went incredibly hard on Persona 5 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3's nominations as well
I played and 100% both of the previous Spider-Man games and while Spider-Man 2 does have some new features that made the game look new it still used the same formula the last two had used. I got Baldur's gate 3 like maybe a week ago and I already have around 40 hours and am just about to complete act 2. It is by far one of the most amazing games I have ever played. This game also has Shadowheart. 10/10
Yeah, DND players are all weirdos and there's a huge overlap in the queer community, kink community, and nerd community all at the same time. Baldur's gate encapsulates all three of them perfectly.
It's weird how everyone else was chill with losing, but Fortnite & Spiderman kids? Naaah, they have to screech. I was hoping XIV would win best ongoing game (it's won it several times in a row, afterall), but y'know what? Cyberpunk really did a massive u-turn and made a really good expansion, not to mention fixing the game. Deserved it, well done CDPR.
“What’s baldur’s gate 3” glad you asked, it’s an RPG that’s based off the DND universe. It is also set in a universe where it outsold Spiderman 2 by 20+ million copies 😂😂😂 ***edit: only thing that was frustrating is how apex was nominated for anything and seems to get nominated for something every year. Devs do nothing respectable for the players.
ive tried to play this game with water just to see how bad this game could go: "im roughly half way in and the 1L bottle is 2/3s empty. this game is going to kill someone through ethanol poisoning.
How ironic that video game fans of Spiderman, one of the biggest and popular IP there is, is considered as "living under a rock" when it comes to the video game industry.
the guy thinks spiderman 2 is one of the best games ever made😂 bro, it's not even the best in the series😂 both 2018 and miles morales were better games
Neil Newbom 100% deserved his award for best voice actor. His voice acting as Astarion was phenomenal, everyone else's voice acting is fantastic as well, but there's just something about Astarion and Rapheal of course.
Yeah, Spiderman 2 wasn't a BAD game... it's just that the competition was sooo damn GOOD that it paled in comparison. Big cinematics ? EVERY GAME has those. Memorable characters ? same... buttonmashing and quicktime events as "innovative gameplay"? see: God of War about 6 years ago. Spidey 2 brought NOTHING new to the gaming world, no innovation or anything. It was just a "good" game, but nothing special enough to deserve an award for anything. Also: The amount of morons who keep falling for the joke trailer with the bear scene that was supposed to get a reaction of people so they get TALKING and advertise the game is crazy ! XD
I feel like if I do this I’ll die. On a serious note, it’s just funny to me how all these “gamers” say they have “never heard of BG3” I’m not even super invested in gaming news but for about two months all IGN, gamespot, kotaku, I don’t know a bunch of others posted about was BG3, then a little Spider-Man, then a lot of Alan Wake 2.
Okay why do we have to explain the bear scene? it's pretty much self explanatory 😂 If they have no sense of humor, you just can't make them fun all of a sudden. Plus the epicness level that came with being banned from tik tok over "the bear scene" is just legendary 😂😂😂😂
My grandma had a medical emergency yesterday at 5 in the morning, i was bawling my heart out praying for her to be okay while waiting on the ambulance. She even started seeing people who werent there. I nearly gave up hope, then I saw those lights. Shes okay now and in very good hands. And even with all that, I was not as emotional as these freaking goobers, who keep denying the truth and ignoring tons of stuff. I know its a bad comparison, but its true: they act like their world ended. Over a game. While my world literally came crashing down when she almost fainted and fell in my arms. What a bunch of pansies.
So many races and sub-races and yet not nominated for best racing game is criminal. BG3 got robbed.
That one took me a while to understand.
😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this.
fkn racist!
I don’t get it, can someone explain this to me.
Even if baldurs gate 3 didn’t exist Spider-Man 2 still would’ve lost every category they were nominated for.

bro i was just looking the rules and i already knew that if you follow along you die from alcohol poisoning
Life does get better ...with Baldur's Gate 3.😂
5 months after release and BG3 is still top 3 on steam RN!! “nobody plays BG3 man NOBOOODY” KEKW
Alan wake 2 was more hyped than spider-man
Bro, grown men crying over video games is getting so old right now. These dudes need to expand their interests.
Even if Baldur's gate 3 didn't exist or Even if Zelda didn't exist, Spider-Man 2 still wouldn't won the GOTY
Spiderman 2 : 7 Nomination - 0 Awards
Armored core 6 : 1 Nomination 1 Award lol
It’s hilarious how obvious these Spider-Man fans are with telling people that they don’t play video games.
Baldur's Gate 3 has Minsc, Jaheria, SAREVOK, fucking SAREVOK
I really don't understand why Spider-Man 2 has become the game people think got robbed when Tears of the Kingdom literally exists and is far and away the best game to release last year. Spider-Man 2 was fun but nothing crazy yet somehow the only people I see complaining about BG3 winning GOTY are Spider-Man fans? Before TGA I thought it was going to be a TotK vs BG3 race just like the year before was entirely Elden Ring vs God of War and then suddenly people were expecting Spider-Man to win GOTY? How? That's like being surprised Horizon didn't win in 2022?
Well, to be fair, there's been a lot of online hate from the TotK people as well, it's just been mostly confined to Twitter posts. There's a different guy who made a video about all the salt that came from the Nintendo side, and some of those comments were wild. I think the only steamer who made a big stink was some guy named Harmon? Not enough for a full reaction video.
I suppose it's cuz Spiderman is a more popular figure, so some people though Spiderman would win automatically.
Man, I'd love to see these people try to play some old Rogue or Dwarf Fortress, stuff like that.
"What? A game where you have to read and has turns??? You can't kill people spamming the circle???"
“Have you ever played Baldurs Gate 3!?”
Me Watching this video while playing BG3:
“No…….not at all.”
I enjoyed playing Spider-Man 2, but damn have I had more fun and spent so much more time playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and replaying Cyberpunk 2077 (Phantom Liberty) this year. Fan-boys just love throwing shade at games they’ve never played.
I call bs on all these streamers who claim they never heard of the game. There were freaking articles about BG3 *everywhere*, especially after game devs got so spooked they started insulting the game on social media. I wasn't even trying to look for info, and I was bombarded with stuff on both MSN and YT. No way someone who deals with games as their primary content didn't get a ton of BG3 post recommended to them. You had to be living under a freaking BOULDER to not have seen anything at all about that game.
I knew of it simply from the Astarion things I was seeing online. He was everywhere at one stage, ended up playing it with my friend a few months ago and loved it. Bought a PlayStation just to play it 😂
@@celestebigaignon6054 I know right? Even with the game in early access, I can excuse saying you didn't know about it before release; even I only heard about it a couple of days before, although since I don't make my *living* focusing on games I think I have more of a pass. But after release, that game was freaking *everywhere*. You didn't just have to be living under a rock, you needed a whole *mountain* to avoid seeing it. Any professional game streamer that claims they never heard of it is full of crap.
The remake of the game that came out like almost 20 years ago is more fun than Spider-Man 2. Almost every game beats it on the goty nomination
This. Honestly I don’t even know how SM2 got nominated in the first place. If BG3 didn’t exist, it would be a competition between Alan Wake 2 and Zelda. If they didn’t exist too, it would be Mario or RE4. I really don’t think Spider-Man had any chances against any of them, not to mention all combined. If I had to pick nominees, I would’ve excluded it entirely from the GOTY nomination and included Hi-Fi Rush or Armored Core 6 instead. And I don’t even hate Spider-Man 2, it’s a decent game. Just not up to the standards of many other games of 2023
I believe ima need an ambulance if I take that many shots 😵💫
The one guy around 20:15 at least was doing a proper bit, you could tell he knew who the king of gaming this year was lmao
I believe that the second guy has since tried and enjoyed baldurs gate
It’s actually really entertaining
This has both given me hope and taken hope for the game industry. I get hope from BG3 winning so we as games fans are no longer suffering trash all the time, however, these dudes glazing the game devs while getting their mouths washed by baldurs meat makes me so sad.
The only reasons i havent played Alan Wake 2 yet is because too many fire games came out in 2023 and i heard it was particularly resource intensive to run, which im not sure my specs could handle at a good quality
Damn it just illustrates how close minded and tribal people have become. Sad really. We need to try to widen people's horizons when it comes to games.
Ultimate Spider-Man ran so Spider-Man 2 could trip
At least the guy with the Box Shoe is tired play BG3 later and he actually find itt really good. so he got his redemption arc.
Would just love to mention as a Controller gamer of Baldur's Gate 3.
On controller the game is a 3D camera follow game like Spiderman or god of war if you just zoom the camera all the way in.
So I truly see how they didn't actually experience shit from the game lmao.
The funniest and most insane shit about these sony fanboys is that the only reason they were this upset is the fact that spider-man had to be their champion this year. If Alan Wake 2 were a ps5 exclusive they would have been exclusively discussing and championing only that one since it got some awards.
Isnt ff16 also sony exclusive?
@@erfarkrasnobay Yeah for now, but nowhere near as popular as spider-man, I highly doubt a lot of sony fanboys would have played that one while Alan Wake is right up their alley: Handholding, story and graphics oriented, partial walking simulator, 0 challenge, almost no player agency but it came out on Xbox too so it doesn't exist as a choice for the fanboys :D That is how stupid these people are.
@@erfarkrasnobayit is
Alan wake 2 ain’t even exclusive
@@people2chronically-online That is what I said.
I can’t be takin shots back to back like this. We gotta pace this shit 😂
Spider Man cutscene simulator 2 fans really were crying when their "game" didn't win game of the year 💀
the guy at 7 minutes is actually playing through BG3 and loves it. No clue who he is but ive been seein him for the last twoish weeks playin on tiktok live
11:43 that guy is commonly known as Flute Guy and is a lot of people's favorite part about the GOTY orchestra. He also went incredibly hard on Persona 5 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3's nominations as well
I played and 100% both of the previous Spider-Man games and while Spider-Man 2 does have some new features that made the game look new it still used the same formula the last two had used. I got Baldur's gate 3 like maybe a week ago and I already have around 40 hours and am just about to complete act 2. It is by far one of the most amazing games I have ever played. This game also has Shadowheart. 10/10
I wish these people had an open mindset. I want to try Alan Wake 2 just because it did well so I want to see why its loved
Plus I know a ton who want to, because of the music number
Alan Wake II is peak you should deff try it.
Spiderman 2 died in literally 2 days. And i feel like people just pretend to like it because miles morales is in it.
Matcrackz, the second guy in the video, he actually ended up playing BG3 and enjoying it
At least the second reactor is actually playing and enjoying bg3 now, miracles do happen
The one guy with the stormtrooper has actually gone on to livestream and play Baldur's Gate and loves it
Us dnd fanatics are weird minded and twisted and have great humor and its awesome 😂 karlach enough said 😂
Yeah, DND players are all weirdos and there's a huge overlap in the queer community, kink community, and nerd community all at the same time. Baldur's gate encapsulates all three of them perfectly.
You pointed out the one satirical post but there were at least 3 other obvious ones you took seriously lol
It's weird how everyone else was chill with losing, but Fortnite & Spiderman kids? Naaah, they have to screech.
I was hoping XIV would win best ongoing game (it's won it several times in a row, afterall), but y'know what? Cyberpunk really did a massive u-turn and made a really good expansion, not to mention fixing the game. Deserved it, well done CDPR.
7:55 the dude reacting went and played bg3 for hours and streamed it, he already has fanart of his character
“What’s baldur’s gate 3” glad you asked, it’s an RPG that’s based off the DND universe. It is also set in a universe where it outsold Spiderman 2 by 20+ million copies 😂😂😂 ***edit: only thing that was frustrating is how apex was nominated for anything and seems to get nominated for something every year. Devs do nothing respectable for the players.
ive tried to play this game with water just to see how bad this game could go: "im roughly half way in and the 1L bottle is 2/3s empty. this game is going to kill someone through ethanol poisoning.
skipped to the end- ALMOST 2 LITRES OF ALCOHOL PER FUCKING PERSON PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!
@@imperialspacemarine1539nah, I’m playing it
How ironic that video game fans of Spiderman, one of the biggest and popular IP there is, is considered as "living under a rock" when it comes to the video game industry.
When people say that BG3 looks like mobile game, I wish that was true, because then I would be able to play it on my broke ass computer
Thank you for sending me to the hospital,the nurses and doctors tried to understand why saw your video and now we share the same room.
the guy thinks spiderman 2 is one of the best games ever made😂
bro, it's not even the best in the series😂
both 2018 and miles morales were better games
22:24 also this guy says "we have peter parker..."
they butchered him in the game
the main hero was miles
I haven't played BG3 until it came out on Xbox. And I still voted for it to be game of the year 🤣
Hey, you are been a smartass, but that owlbear cub race at the goblin camp beats half the games nominated in the sports/racing category :p
Wow what a great game!! Imma go driving now lol!😂
Have fun
Oh believe me, I will
That last one was comedy GOLD. Perfect example of a graceful loss even if you disagree with the result.
The second guy actually started playing BG3 and really likes it, he streamed it almost everyday and has about 50 hours on it
Alright...where you at? *unzips pants* It's not gonna suck itself.
Neil Newbom 100% deserved his award for best voice actor. His voice acting as Astarion was phenomenal, everyone else's voice acting is fantastic as well, but there's just something about Astarion and Rapheal of course.
Hearing the fude whine about spiderman losing to hi fi rush is wild, talk about someone wanting big guy to beat little guy
"Aint nobody play zelda bro" that franchise is probably the same age if not older than that guy
Yeah, Spiderman 2 wasn't a BAD game... it's just that the competition was sooo damn GOOD that it paled in comparison.
Big cinematics ? EVERY GAME has those. Memorable characters ? same... buttonmashing and quicktime events as "innovative gameplay"? see: God of War about 6 years ago.
Spidey 2 brought NOTHING new to the gaming world, no innovation or anything. It was just a "good" game, but nothing special enough to deserve an award for anything.
Also: The amount of morons who keep falling for the joke trailer with the bear scene that was supposed to get a reaction of people so they get TALKING and advertise the game is crazy ! XD
11:34 I noticed him last year when he was on the flute when playing last year's Xenoblade Chronicles 3 performance. He's a fucking legend.
I feel like if I do this I’ll die.
On a serious note, it’s just funny to me how all these “gamers” say they have “never heard of BG3”
I’m not even super invested in gaming news but for about two months all IGN, gamespot, kotaku, I don’t know a bunch of others posted about was BG3, then a little Spider-Man, then a lot of Alan Wake 2.
I really love Spider-Man 2 same with Baulder’s Gate 3 cuz I’m a huge D&D fan, I saw BG3 winning GOTY when I kept playing more and more
Okay why do we have to explain the bear scene? it's pretty much self explanatory 😂
If they have no sense of humor, you just can't make them fun all of a sudden.
Plus the epicness level that came with being banned from tik tok over "the bear scene" is just legendary 😂😂😂😂
It's a druid transformed into a bear and Ive done three play thoughs of the game and have no idea where that scene even is 😂
Well my alchohol raft is empty
My grandma had a medical emergency yesterday at 5 in the morning, i was bawling my heart out praying for her to be okay while waiting on the ambulance. She even started seeing people who werent there. I nearly gave up hope, then I saw those lights. Shes okay now and in very good hands.
And even with all that, I was not as emotional as these freaking goobers, who keep denying the truth and ignoring tons of stuff. I know its a bad comparison, but its true: they act like their world ended. Over a game. While my world literally came crashing down when she almost fainted and fell in my arms.
What a bunch of pansies.
You forgot to put Kojima in the pie chart which would account for up to 10% of the awards
