I am still shocked that Starfield won the "most innovative gameplay" category of the Steam awards. It's like someone is taking the piss by giving it the least applicable award possible.
Hey, monkey man excitement hitting things with a bone is a genuine and glorious kind of excited.
Emeryville has some interesting stuff in it, but you HAVE to go looking for it. But then again, most of the SF Bay Area has gotten Bland in the last few years and I'm pissed by that...
Starfield topping the Blandest list couldn't be more fitting but I was sure he would make RE4R a de facto inclusion considering how much Capcom ripped out of the original for the remake.
This year has been the year I had to most often remind myself that Yahtzee is very much biased against certain game genres...
Genuinely surprised Street Fighter 6 didnt even get a mid credits shout out coz Yahtzee seemed to really enjoy his time with it
Yahtzee typically doesn't like fighting games (that's why MK1 is on his worst list). If he enjoys a game at all, it's DESPITE the fact that it's a fighting game. He probably didn't enjoy it as much as you think he did.
Well I did want to see BG3 in the list but it did win GOTY so i guess it doesn’t need an additional award from Yahtzee.
Definitely, BG3 has gotten enough love. I might have stuck it in as an honorable mention, if I was doing the lists, myself, but better to focus on smaller games that were at least as good, in their own way. And it's a better way to do things than whatever the fuck was going on with the Steam Awards. 😄
There was a Hellboy game this year and almost nothing got said about it. Tells you just how weird 2023 was, I guess.
Well, and out appears that it wasn't very good, so the Hellboy fans were probably doing their best to ignore it.
Maybe I’ve just been playing real-time games too long, but I just can’t get into the rhythm of turn-based crpgs like Baldur’s Gate 3. I tried with Divinity: Original Sin and hit a brick wall the moment that time stopped and I had to figure out what my character needed to do, only to make a choice and then have it fuck up later down the line and have to wait for my turn again to do what I was hoping to do the first time. I get that it’s a strategy game, but I game at night for a couple hours until I get tired. Having a static game with no real time limit makes my gaming time slow, tedious, and yawn inducing. Or ridiculously frustrating causing me to revert to older saves rather than learn anything. Yeah, the harpies are annoying, but there’s nothing to LEARN from the harpy fight, no brick wall to chip away at and get better. Just level up a bunch, get better gear, or save-scum so you can artificially inflate your saving throws. Not my bag.
Ok
But where are all the games that came out five years ago that I only got around to playing this year because I'm unemployed? Where's that fucking tier list?!
