And one of the worst years for the people who make them. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/over-6000-games-industry-jobs-lost-in-2023-so-far

Games journalism celebrates it's most dishonest year to date.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. Game of the Year is going to be hotly contested.

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Everyone knows it’s easily BG3

That's a funny way to spell Pizza Tower.

This is Hi-Fi Rush and Lies of P erasure

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

HiFi Rush I wanted to like so bad, but they kept stopping me from playing the game to give me tutorials. It's a rhythm game, and they stop you in the middle of your rhythm to ask you if you understand you have to hit the enemies to the beat of the music.

[A] Yes

It's unbearable.

Seeing how most people dropped the game in favour of others it's not very likely. Post honeymoon reviews are putting it just above Diablo 4.

Everyone knows the new LoZ is getting Game of the Year.

[–] Niithed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Best expansion for sure.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I didn't bother getting it since my coworkers said it's basically BotW with a new mechanic or two, and I was pretty meh on BotW.

It's popular though, so there's a chance.

[–] Niithed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh I loved Botw but the new mechanic in Totk Isn't my cup of tea. I'll still give it a try at one point when the pc emulation gets better, but it's hard to see this game as a stand alone game. Hence, my expansion comment.

If Sea of Stars doesn't get (at least) Best Indie, I'm flipping tables.

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I believe it. A lot of bangers this year.

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But we also got a lot of potatoes.

[–] maxprime@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But there are potatoes every year!
