Official Thread The Game Awards this December to be shown in IMAX Live. 2022

Played Elden Ring for several dozens of hours, and even though I enjoyed the game, it's not even close to being what the gaming media keeps parroting.
Wonky controls, so-so graphics, bad animation, gameplay taken from the 8bit era, grinding enemies for cheap xp is a must (its like playing destiny but you can't enjoy it without giving 60% of your time shooting into a cave)... please give me ONE concrete thing about the game that merit it being a masterpiece?
It's like with every new mario and Zelda, they keep telling us it's redefining gaming (Zelda is groundbreaking, you can climb anything, wow, never saw that before in any game, cough cough assassin's creed) but when you sober up and look back there's usually flaw bonanza (skyward sword anyone).

The open world.

Pretty much the only open world game I have played that has genuine exploration and rewards doing it. And this was their first open world game.

I played Stray and it was fine....but no where near GOTY. Vampire Survivor! That created a whole genre. But I don't care. I play the games I like. I'll watch the Keighly's for new announcements.
I will let you guys let me know if there are any good announcements. I am done with the Geoff Keighley show.

That's some major copium bro
I really don't care. People can hash it out over GOW or Elden Ring. I'll go back to playing some more Vampire Survivors and Pentiment and Somerville.

One person says they prefer a game not nominated apparently = Salt.

Search the word Opinion.

We know what's going to happen, PS die hards will try to give it to GOW while everyone else will go all out to give it to ER.

But then this is an award that went to It Takes Two last year which wasn't even the best game to release in March. So I'm not sure who's actually voting.
