Edge and Kotaku do not consider Baldur’s Gate 3 game

Such publications such as Edge and Kotaku presented their own conclusions about the best games in 2023. Their opinions dispersed from the verdicts of Golden Joystick Awards and The Game Awards. Although Baldur’s Gate III, an exciting role -playing game of this year, takes high places in both ratings, both publications claim that other projects deserve the first place.

Here is a complete list of the best games of the year according to Kotaku:

• Alan Wake II;
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom;
• Baldur’s Gate 3;
• Street Fighter 6;
• Armored Core VI;
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder;
• Diablo IV;
• Star Wars Jedi: Survivor;
• Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty;
• Dave The Diver;
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2;
• Resident Evil 4.

The editors of Edge presented its candidates for the title of best game of the year in the following order:

• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom;
• Baldur’s Gate 3;
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder;
• Humanity;
• Cocoon;
• Alan Wake 2;
• Chants of Sennaar;
• Street Fighter 6;
• A Highland Song;
• Counter-Strike 2.

And I do not consider these publications high -quality and professional with objective grades of games.

You might think a bald can objectively be considered a game of the year! Pfff

Your opinion is not taken into account.

Heh, give him a chance)

As for Kotakau, there the chief of the editor -in -chief of Forbes was previously editor -in -chief. So that the decision is political – they gave the game of the year to his own, not a folk pet.

And objectively it is generally impossible to evaluate, because there are no evaluation criteria, pairs of PAM, all

The former in the list has DLC to cyberpan – this is not a game, the latter has a KS2 list. Actually this is all you need to know 😂

The first still diablo but you are damn right

"Edge and Kotaku do not consider Baldur’s Gate 3 game" .

And now the question is who it is?

And the music began to play .

The same question arose, but who is it and why we do not spit on the opinion of these nouns ?

I understand Zelda (with a stretch), but Alan Wake 2 is in the first place, laughter and only.

Mobile cartoon grury game of the year? funny. the same crap

Your taste is terrible to see Zeld)) not for the children of the game.

Immediately visible "experts" games)))

Yes, and not necessary, they also compared an adult thriller with a cartoon.

In your adult thriller, there is neither the plot nor the gameplay normal.

With all the love for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, alas, this is not a game of the year. This is generally essentially an addition to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, it just came out as an independent game.

BG3 is interesting for its plot and variability of passage, Tloz: TotK – interactiveness and interesting mechanics, which is interesting to Alan Wake 2?

Well, they don’t count and do not count. ¯ \ _ (ツ) _/¯

I would even say that it is good that they have an alternative opinion. About how much it is true, of course, people should not talk. XD

All this "Alternative" The opinion is simply absolutely template and predictable. Again Zelda and "Oh my God" Alan Kweik 2, that is, the same thing was chosen by some other supposedly nitacusics, but they do not provide a really interesting alternative opinion. Nobody chose Hogwarts, Armorer Cor 6 or beltnant 2, and at least a resident 4, remake of Santa Skate or Fainle Fantasy 16. How really an alternative and peculiar opinion in this regard even some kind of miserable Forpoken looks more interesting than Wake or Zelda.

Hogwarts would be strange to choose a game of the year. For the game besides the scenery of Hogwarts does not give anything.

The opinions of people who bring Mario in the tops of the games cannot, for me personally, be considered authoritative)

They have Diablo IV there in the lists that are higher than RE4, which you can talk about with them? 😂

Well, if the dudes of the game of the year is the Dyabla 4 and KS 2, what information content from them can be expected. In addition, Kotaku is so -so authority

The first Zelda has already earned its place of the game of the year, but the second is just a large DLC.
Alan is steeply with a graphone, but everything else has a dull dushnilovo, even though the first part passed with pleasure. Even Control will be more catamin.

Raw CS: go in tops? Understand.

I am already silent that they think they think for the game. It is large, yes, but still dls.
Blood and wine are also separately nominated?

Well, by the opinion of Edge, you should never listen at all because the repulsed marwois are just working on the head, which will always have Nintendo WII, the game with the best graphics of Zelda or haze will always be the most powerful console

Well, have the right, although I do not agree. It was BG3 that had a greater influence on the industry.

Alan Wake II – very realistic in execution, creates an oppressive atmosphere of complete immersion, due to unique light and sound effects. But to say that the game liked more than BG3 – exaggeration.

Oh my God, let everyone go to Edge and Kotaku.
Do not give a shit only to people with a complete lack of critical thinking and a sense of aesthetics.
Well, with an intelligence coefficient like a stool.

Another supervisor from them to attract attention and give an opportunity "Special guys" Cooking.

Balda power! Smile off the insignificance, Baal will come for you!

Right now, on the opinion of the dumps of garbage, like kotaku navigate. I don’t care what they think there, the main thing is players, games are made for them, and not so that some kind of garbage dictated to someone and what to play, also turning for the players, which game of the year and which is not.

So we will focus on the opinion of the trash like PG, where atomic heart will be the game of the year🤣

It is strange to put Alan Vaika above BG3, but Zelda may well surpass in many directions. Alan Vake is still a horror movie, the game cannot objectively be top 1, since the genre of a priori is not for everyone, and the level of study in the BG3 and Zelda is much higher

As well as genres of fighting, RPG, etc.D is not for everyone, it does not mean that the game cannot be objectively top.

Agree. BG3 is also not for everyone. All this is very subjective.

RPG genre for everyone and for all times. Since when not for everyone? Now 90% of AAA level games with RPG elements. What you can’t like in RPG? Pump the character? See progress? Communicate with NPS and a variety of dialogs?

This is so genre for everyone, it is so possible and shove it literally in all games. Even shooters are not as popular as an RPG

Just the other way. I really love the RPG genre. There are simply people who are enough to run to FIFA under Pivas and they consider the games of other genres not so interesting or as a comrade said above "not for all". Say that Alan Wake is worse than BG3 because this is a horror and a priori is not a top, well, this is. This opinion has a place to be. Will come out for example Remaster Sayland Hila 2, shoot at the top 1, which will then say interesting. This is a horror and it is not for everyone?

That is, we will evaluate the popularity of genres by hobbing in FIF? Just the same FIFA is not for everyone, but only for beer after work for football fans.

Alan Wake is a good game, a wonderful representative of the genre. But this game is good only because they poured a lot of dough into it. She is very far from BG3 and Zelda.

Once again, RPG is the most popular genre of all time, with a huge margin from everyone else. RPG systems are now shoved even in racing.

There will never be silent Hill or resident Ivil Top 1.

You can’t please everyone, but the main success of the BG3 has already received

Of course, anime ha-no is better)

Well, no surprising, prizes and players said their word and now comfortable prizes from any publications are coming, okay, OK, many publications are fading to Nintendo and this is no secret,

but Alan Wake 2. The game is not bad but it is so uneven. Best action? Perhaps the best narrative? Too, but not the game of the year for sure,

Although it is not surprising from Kotaku, they always love to make aesthetes out of themselves, moreover, constantly sitting.

I don’t know what kind of publications and what are valuable, I found some kind of Edge Magazine-and I don’t understand how the publication with such a crooked design of the site can generally evaluate something. Judging by the name "Kotaku", Their editorial office should be in full force on JRPG and anime, so it is even strange that they have Zelda only in second place. I won’t play anyway, I get bad from one type of graphics and snowdrops of characters, but I admit that many can like it, the game has good sales. Even the devil with him, with supermario, although it is difficult for me to treat such games seriously. But by what objective criteria for applicants for "The game of the year" Humanity, Cocoon, Chants of Sennaar came in with linguistic puzzles and socialist and globalist ideas, a Highland Song with monotonous jumps of a cartoon girl in the mountains and other non -nemile indjutine, which the majority did not even hear and will never play? This is an attempt to show which editions are sitting in the editions of Nitakusiki or similar games fall into the lists as part of a certain quota for game minorities?

Everything is simple with Kotaku. Kotaku belongs to the G/O Media holding, the direct authorities of which, in theory, does not manually administer the work of his subordinate structures, with the exception of such events as drawing up lists of games of the year. Watch who is the head of the holding. English wiki gives us an answer: "James J. Spinfeller Jr.-the American leader of the media, most famous as Head forbes.Com In 2001-2009".

Here is a guess why Baldur’s Gate 3 with 110,000 daily online in Steam in 3rd place.

I apologize for the immodest question: And the popularity in Steam and "The game of the year" ?

By your logic, then the game of the year should have been CS2, which overtakes any game of the number of actively playing several times! ¯ \ _ (ツ) _/¯

Maybe you will still review the metric to determine "Games of the year"?

Do not mind award CS game of the year in the distant 2000th. The game of the year is a game that moves the industry. How and what the Baldur’s Gate 3 industry moves is probably clear to everyone, but how Alan Wake II and The Legend of Zelda are not so obvious.

Actually, CS2 went to 2023. Surprise-scurry. XD

Pro "The movement of the industry" also a very muddy definition. What does it mean in your understanding "forward movement"? New mechanics? New Levele Design? New graphic technologies? New technologies in AI? What exactly? Well, from the above what is in BG3?

Somehow you drive yourself on a very shaky soil. I repeat: we need a metric to make a decision. Maybe, but not a fact, individual publications have it. By what kind of signs and criteria, they lead their rating – they alone know. The fact that your rating does not coincide with them is only your problems. Well, or their problems, if you look from them, but they, unlike you, do not soar. )))

Yes, because there is no movement of the industry. Submed fanatics of the game simply believe that after "The game of the year 3" I went out, then all the developers will do as an example for them, as if there were no good RPG games with a choice before (Pillars of Eternity, for example). Or recent Warhammer Rogue Trader.

What they are trying to confuse "The game of the year 3" the nomination is probably for the winning of the hero, for in this regard she is directly delightful. But here is Wargam in the game. Speaking softly n@p@w@. Most of the spells fly by, or is discarded by checking the resistance to the next move (difficulty: tactics). Regular mistakes with an advantage and a chance to get 94% (checked in a barbar with a force of +3. In d&D (by which the game is made) 18kb is almost immortality – in "The game of the year 3" – it is not enough. The balance in the game is implemented typically, for the game Larian – the hero is higher than you to the level – soap w ¢ pu, because you are gone t@x@t. And so our nominee in the games of the year works. Of course, in comparison with everything that is now going out – Baldur is a good game. But, people have a tendency to score a bolt on shortcomings, because most of those who praise this game do not know what it is to smear and apply minimal damage for two moves, while constantly failing protection checks with KB 17, and fail the resistance of wisdom With this indicator +4 -5 moves under a row, while an enemy goblin with a wisdom of 0, or even -x, is a check for the next move. Right, after divinity, the game looks rejecting. For in the divinity a competent Tim Bild and Skil Bild was needed. Here we need competent numbers that the number generator will throw you, because if each move get to the enemy (and not smear, as it is now), then the game can be held in 60 hours.

Let me guess, in Edge and Kotaku, mostly white, heterosexual men work, "racists", "homophobes", "chauvinists" And they, like us, are already sick of the abundance of the summons in the Balde 3! Therefore, they do not consider her a game of the year, everything is simple. You need to urgently cancel them.

Here you don’t even have to guess anyone lick. God for the sake of money

Many people do not consider her a game of the year, but more hamsters. How can it be considered to be GOTY when it is in the game all depends on the cube, and not on the player? And in order to get the ending not in the th*not, you need to play through Save-Load. Game, just a simulator of a hardcore imposed pseudo for tenders DND))

In order to get the ending, not in the th*you need to play not on the ** cubes very much roam only at the temptation, get 5 inspiration and normal buffs and you do not have to save to knock out the normal number.

Well, the norms are at least not the final

I’ll tell you even more, more than half of the people who downloaded this craft, do not even consider it a game.

Game of the week, no more

Well, that’s right, BG3 is not even a game really.

This can only be said by a person who only saw screenshots, and nothing else

Listen and really, I played and I will say that the whole gameplay looks like an absolutely tedious and boring screenshot from a visual novel.

Similar products as BG3 have long been in the past. Today, it is hard to call them full -fledged games. And so it is clear that all her awards were given a summons for LGBT with strong and independent. Well, Haipauli a little on cheap advertising tricks, and infantile boys and incelled girls led.

yes I beg you! Balda and so not the game of the year. It’s just that while the near oldfags are alive, tabletops of wretched DD, they will drown before the games for games with cubes and step -by -step battles. and it is so clear that objectively the bald is never a game of the year.

I never played tactical games with a look from above and never played a hood, but having played this one – fell in love with it, well done, have a decent game.

It’s not about oldfags, but just in the Newfags attracted by boobs / bears / casuality / Yoba graphics. Hype attracted just a lot "atypical" the audience that the games of such a genre bypassed (and will go further, except for the conditional Baldur 4) side. In addition, there are many young people among these Newfags, which quite aggressively perceives all the news where their favorite BG3 is not idolized in every sentence, which is why all fans of this game, to put it mildly, are stubborn.

The same thing was with the release of the second witcher (to a lesser extent) and the third witcher (and here the situation is almost one to one).

Very often saw comments in the spirit "oh, what are you muttering, because all these players, having joined the BG3, will now play games of such a genre and the CRPG genre will be revived. ", But the fact is that these Newfags will not play other CRPG, because they came there, firstly, not at the command of the heart, but because of the hype, fanned by the PR companion (precisely through "O"), and secondly, they did not come there for RPG, but for the above criteria. Have you bought these freshly baked CRPG fans after that some Pathfinder or Rogue Trader, which, like CRPG on the head/two above BG3? No, they were not going.
