The Game Awards 2023 (December 7) - watch Spider man 2 win everything.

Destacado
I don't know how anyone, even people that like Starfield, could have thought it'd win best RPG.

I mean, it'd have been funny, but c'mon. It isn't even *really* an RPG. It has closer ties to a shooter like Far Cry tbqh

Still wish TOTK won, but I fully expected BG3 to win, so I’m not surprised by the outcome.

That said, what is it about BG3 that has people raving about it being “revolutionary”, “a wake-up call to the industry”, and “one of the greatest achievements in the medium”? Cause while I’m sure it’s great (and definitely has more new in it than other nominees like TOTK and SM2), this is something that many other games have been acclaimed of doing in the past (TW3, BOTW, RDR2, ER, etc).

What does BG3 do exactly that has people worshiping it so much that other games from the past haven’t done?

It's not really doing anything different from the games you listed outside of how the genres differ, it is just in that same list for being a well-crafted game that it's creators cared about. The whole 'wake up call' is kind of copium because it won't change giant shit-producing companies minds about their crappy practices. They are simply excellent games that would be excellent any time, but in the age of shitty micro-transaction live-service nightmares and unfinished forced out crap they are that much more attractive in comparison.

Well, as an example, at one point you are tasked with killing three leaders of a goblin horde preparing to raze a community to the ground. You can sneak in and fight them, go in guns blazing and just kill everything, lie your way in, pick up a bunch of exploding barrels, pile them around the boss and blow him up without even fighting him, also kil him by shoving him down a hole, turn yourself invisible and shank him in the back, or just join him and go burn down that village that wanted you to save them. Among other strategies.

And that’s just one encounter.

Nothing
 
Spiderman 2 not winning anything is even funnier when you remember that it came out only a week before AW2, which came out almost as late as possible to still qualify for the game awards, both games benefited hugely from recency bias.
Between every contender I'm glad BG3 got GOTY, TOTK was an extremely safe sequel, Spiderman 2 was an extremely safe sequel on top of being a shitty game, and even if I found AW2 enjoyable I still got pissed off at the ending because it gives you the middle finger and tells you "Buy the expansion packs to see how the story ends!"
 
Let me interject for a moment and say that The Finals is actually a really fun game, and decidedly not shovelware. I even made a thread about it to sucker more people into playing it.
 
Baldur's Gate 3 isn't revolutionary but a nice return to form for RPG's. I love that there is a ton of options with how to handle quests and encounters. If you ever watch Sseth Tzeentach videos where he reviews old RPG's you will be astonished with how much freedom and choices those games gave players. It is a far cry from Skyrim and Fallout 4 where you are only allowed to play how Bethesda wants you to play. Games like Baldur's Gate 3 lets you play how you want to play which is why it is so well liked by many gamers right now. It is nice to play a game where I can kill any character that annoys me instead of having them be mark as essential because Bethesda is lazy.

It doesn't do anything unique, it just does a bunch of things other games have done but does it all pretty well. The most notable of these is player agency. Aside from the numerous routes you can take on quests, the combat is very reactive to your actions. Aside from the generic "red barrel explodes when fire is thrown at it", things that you think would work actually work.
-Need to make a lever move but it's out of reach? Shoot a spell at it.
-This vent is spewing deadly gas? Put a barrel on top of the vent to clog it.
-You want to start a fight with some people in a room but you know their friends in the adjacent room will aggro too? Stack barrels to block the door so they have to run around the building.
-Person you murdered won't talk to you when you cast speak with the dead? Cast a disguise self spell before doing that and they'll think you're someone else.

A lot of this was seen with DSO2 but it's just done very consistent with the choices it allows the player to make. Even if you do this very specific thing that is obviously very stupid and would doom you, it ends the game not because the game says "RELOAD SAVE RETARD" but it shows you a cutscene showing the consequences of your actions. The game lets you make choices and that's a very novel concept in an era of games designed by jaded and seething Hollywood rejects that want to make their movie but are settling with making a movie game with safety rails the entire way through.
 
Well Hideo Kojima's new game "OD" is staring Hunter Schafer, the tranny from Euphoria. Apparently Jordan Peele, who writes many black-centric horror films including Get Out, Us, & Nope, will be assisting in the project. Hunter's digitized form in the game fails to look like a woman and ends up looking like a teenage boy.

Or cast the ghost hand thingy.

Or drink an immunity elixir and walk through the cloud.

Or get a Mage to keep the door perma-locked with a spell.

Can't use Animal Handling on an Ox because skill is too low? Just use a potion of Animal Speaking and use your Charisma score instead.

So many options!! Larian thought of...well, not everything. But a lot of stuff!
 
It's not quite true to say BG3 doesn't do anything new... there has never been a CPRG of its nature with accessible couch co-op and cinematics. Then just look at its scope and scale. This genre other than Larian's other games has pretty much been dead for awhile and Larian even had trouble getting investors for a long time. You have to go back a long time for anything close, like Neverwinter Nights 2, and that wasn't even voiced. The amont of effort needed just to fully voice everything is incredible.

The only reason BG3 isn't revolutionary is because Larian already did the revolutionary stuff in DOS1/2. Getting a game like this where you have a ton of spells, have controller support, and have a UI that doesn't put your brain and eyes in hell is a challenge in its own right.

Is this some weird woke lgbt horror trash? Udo Kier is gay, Hunter Schafer is a gay tranny & Peele is a woke jogger. Wtf is wrong with Kojima?? This shit is going to bomb harder than Little Boy and Fat Man during WWII.
