It was trash. Had a good smattering of “mah representation”, boring announcements, back handed comments to some winners, and a shit ton of ads. Probably more ads than award ceremony. Same 6 games were on the majority of the categories and all but two games should have just been removed: Baldur’s Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2. Thankfully, they gave Armored Core 6 best action game. Big announcement was a new Monster Hunter but it’s won’t be out until 2025. Only really watched for the trash talking from StutteringCraig and Yellowflash.

It should have been TOTK ultimately, but the fact Hogwarts Legacy wasn't even nominated for anything despite how well it did should tell you everything you need to know about how much political bullshit was going on here.
That was most of this years nominations, therefore it would have fit right in. We all know why it wasn't nominated.
Game came out at the start of the year so it has been 10 months or so. It was all anyone talked about for like month or so until most people beat it and moved on to other stuff, same as what happens will basically ALL single player games without dlc announcements. Spiderman 2 came out to even less fanfare than that and was forgotten faster and was still nominated for stuff including GOTY (LMFAO). Hell, did anyone even know Alan Woke 2 was a thing before it was nominated? Nobody I talked to even knew it existed before the Game Awards, but somehow that got a GOTY nomination?
I never said it should be GOTY, I specifically called out that it wasn't nominated for ANYTHING. Which is really quite odd. I am not even complaining it didn't win anything, its the fact it wasn't even NOMINATED speaks volumes to me.
I'm gonna need something backing up that claim. Its a good Harry Potter game that lets you attend Hogwarts, of course it sold massive numbers.
Pick one narrative and stick to it please. It's almost like you have never encountered Harry Potter fans and how "passionate" they can be. There is a less than 0 % chance that nobody voted for it.
