Alan Wake 2
Spider Man 2
TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom
Resident Evil 4
Super Mario Bros.: Wonder
Baulder's Gate 3

Looks like a two game race between BG3 and Zelda.

But I 100% expect BG3 to sweep anything it was nominated for based on how the media reacted to it this year

The only complaint people have is they may not have the time to play it.  

I still haven’t finished it but I’m getting pretty close.  Maybe 5-10 more hours I hope

BG3 will get its xbox date announced at the Game awards 12/7...

So unless it shadow drops or they have no psychical Xbox versions (or collector editions) i cant see it releasing before maybe 12/28 to give time make hard copies etc.

But maybe they dropped it on 12/7 that would be fine too.

I'll have to check out some YouTube videos. Part of the reason I haven't gotten back to it is that it takes my dinosaur of a PC about 20 minutes to load it all up each time.

I feel like the game doesn't have a lot of replayability to it due to that. It was a fun game for sure, but once I beat it, I felt little need to go back to it. Graphics wise, gameplay wise, story wise, ALL of that was great though!

(11-16-2023, 03:24 PM)Stewy Wrote: Absolutely fantastic game.  Almost zero bugs, captures the magic, mystery and size of Hogwarts.  Almost all environments are taken directly from the movies.  The story is fantastic and engaging.  Broom flight, combat and exploration are always fun and never get old.  If you love RPG's and the World of Harry Potter, this is a must play.

My guess is the lack of any nominations for it, is a political statement against JKR's "anti-trans" rhetoric, which is idiotic considering politics has no place in gaming awards, as it shows a pre-disposed bias, which questions the integrity of the process.  Also she had nothing to do with the game whatsoever.  Didn't even consult.

Some of these pass through games look insane. Fighting off zombies that are busting into my house seems like it might be worth the money.
