It's innovative because they managed to sell a loading screen simulator at full price.
Yeah, some people are funny that way. Hopefully that turd gets a complete shut-out just like at the Game Awards
Edit: To those wanting to downvote please, oh freaking please, tell me in what ways Starfield has innovated on anything. And no, Bugthesda employees, I won't be accepting "you don't knkw what went into the creation of this product" as any kind of answer.
Edit edit: hadn't realised this post was for the results. God this is depressing. Wonder how many morons thought they'd get a canvas bag out of their wasted vote.
Shadows of Doubt is so interesting and gets overshadowed by that. Damn shame.
What an insult, right? The general public wouldn't recognise innovation if it was shot into their faces with a railgun by Crapple Inc.
It wasn't until I briefly sold cars in University however many years ago, that I realized just how fucking stupid the vast majority of people really are, especially when they gather in groups. Like horrifyingly stupid. It explains everything, from global warming to the economy; from the ills of social media, global pandemics, to the rise and fall and rise of some of our more infamous world leaders.
Once you realize that almost everyone around you is fucking basic at best, it all starts to make sense. I don't mean this to come off as an arrogant tone either, it's just literally the truth.
That's... gotta be a joke, right? Some subreddit got together and meme'd this.
As usual, the games that people mostly heard of win over anything that deserved it. RDR2 for "Labor of Love"? What a joke.
Except for the obvious pick, I can't say any of the picks here were right. Don't get me started on the crapfest that is Starfield and the lissencephalic level of thinking it takes to call that pile of crap innovative which must have been given out by judges from Apple
Dave the Diver is very cozy, Lethal Company is a great game to play with friends, and and SIFU really does make you feel like you suck at the game. At least those fit in their respective categories.
RDR2 hasn't seen any major updates in years, Starfield hardly introduced innovations, I heard Hogwarts Legacy "runs well" on the Deck after several user tweaks, improvements from Valve, and running Low settings + FSR 2.
What a joke.
Surely bg3 would be labor of love for all the updates they've been doing non stop
That literally just came out...
So, these "awards" are just bought out, right? I just don't understand how anyone is expected to believe that people actually voted for these results. I can only assume money exchanged hands at some bot farms to put these AAA titles on the front page.
Even if you want to make some weird claims about "popularity contests", RDR2 taking the labour of love award over 4 live-service games that actually receive updates? If the vote is just mass visibility, I'd still expect Apex or the like to take it. And that's ignoring the reality that it makes no sense for RDR2 to have even made the ballot in the first place. You expect me to believe that that's one of the top 5 labour of love titles by open nomination? I mean, c'mon.
Likewise, Starfield taking any award while it sits at 64% positive reviews overall, and 28% positive recent? You expect me to believe that the same consumer base that gave it those horrible reviews still voted for it as "most innovative" of all things? The idea that anyone expects us to believe these are the results of genuine human votes in the era of fake account traffic, purchased viewership and AstroTurfing is just insulting.
If it was bought out, Lethal company wouldn't have an award.
Also Hogwarts Legacy for best on the Steam Deck while barely running on it.
I really wanted Coral Island to win the chill game category. That game is legitimately great, the first of the "Stardew clones" era of farming games that is actually good on its own right.
Dave the diver just comes off to me as a massively advertised bleh
I never heard of Dave the Diver until a few days before TGA 23, but that's anecdotal. I don't think I've seen any advertising for it at all, though.
Thanks for the Coral Island recommendation!
I've been playing Dave the Diver for a while now and honestly, I really like it too. Dunno about the massive advertising since I heard of it from word of mouth, but I've been genuinely enjoying it.
It's been on the front page of steam for every sale this year, and near the top of the page other than that. They frame it as an indie hit, but the dev is owned by Nexon which is among the largest game publishers around.
Yeah, definitely not an indie game for sure
