Apparently Lies of P shouldn't be in the RPG category because it's a Souls game not an RPG

I feel like recency bias really helped bump Alan Wake 2, Spider-Man 2 and Mario Wonder on that list. Not that some or all don't deserve it but they literally all just came out.

Like.... shouldn't we be more ENRAGED that Hogwarts Legacy is nowhere on that list?
We all know this is reeee influence. It is arguably one of the biggest games of the year and biggest single player game launches EVER.
I absolutely loved it. It looks amazing, runs amazing (40fps quality mode baby), the combat is excellent, the music, the chill factor. The gameplay is just so good.
The characters and side quests are excellent too.
The main story is so-so... no the best. But it was engaging enough unlike Starfield crap story
it's not a perfect game (that's ac6) but Hogwarts is my goty and a game I come back to this year.
While I obviously adore Forspoken, i understands why (very wrongly) it's not on the list. It's a game that only I and
Chuck Berry
like. Probably Immortals also should be nominated but nobody played it so who knows (maybe art style nomination at least). Maybe there should be some separate award for ambitious games like Immortals or Fospoken. Clearly better than some trash indie stuff that wins something.
But Hogwarts is not this divisive. Hogwarts is just good without any *.
Are we really letting reee politics dictate this? Are we, as a society really so low as to behave like if this huge game never existed?
This is a bad state of affairs. I am thinking about boycotting TGA. They are cowards. Not saying HL deserves a win (although it does in some category personally) but to not even mention it anywhere ? bullshit.
edit: For me personally, Hogwarts got better gameplay than AW2 and even FF16. 10000% better than Starfield too. And no. The game is not good only in the castle. Most of my screenshots are actually outside. Plenty of side quests take place outside. It's very good and what makes it so good is the fact that it' not filled up the brim with bloat in your face. no microtransactions too. Yeah there are Merlin trials but you do few of them and nothing forces you to do all 100. They are not in your face reminding you about them all the time. I am afraid the sequel will overpack the game with needless mechanics. AW2 in contrary, got almost no game there. You pretend to solve the case on a board, you listen to internal monologues, you shoot 10 enemies in 2 hours. All flare, no substance

This simply can’t be real
40 gamerscore is like, played it for 10 mins territory and he was thrashing about blocking people over this game
It's him.
What's even more sad is the fact that he predominantly only seems to play xbox exclusive games (when he even bothers to play anything at all):

It sure does look pretty though, and combat is quite fun

I expected him to at least play games 1/10 of the time it must have taken to write his wall of text posts but I guess was a bit too optimistic.

So he spends his time talking about things that he literally has practically 0 first hand knowledge in.

He's not the only one. Solokingrobert was here talking all kinds of crap while admitting on twitter that he doesn't really play anything other than the odd mobile game and hasn't owned a console in generations.
It explains why they continuously lie so shamelessly, they have no idea whether what they are being told to post is true or not. Just stick to the script and get paid.

But it's nothing like ubisoft games.
Imo it's absolutely not a mid game and not a standard ps4 game at all.
It's not overstuffed on mechanics like those games and it focuses most on combat range spells and combination. That's something that very few games do. And you got flying

I have a problem with:
A) Remakes shouldn't count in the best game category, end of story.
B) Dave the Diver being nominated when it's not an indie game, ridiculous and totally amateur hour. Morons running this thing.
C) No mention at all of Hogwarts Legacy,
Ridiculous and loses the whole thing all credibility. I understand it not being nominated for game of the year but NO category at all? What about game direction seeing is a lot of tough decisions had to be made for it being the first Harry Potter open world ever? I don't think it's the best game of all time but it also should have been nominated in "best Art direction" ( Certainly over games like Lies of P FFS)
The above loses the award ceremony credibility in my opinion. You have to get these things right.

Absolutely should be nominated for goty. It almost did Elden Ring numbers and I am sure that if not for the "controversy" the game would be on there. 880k peak and 10k now daily.... just on steam.
I don't know if it should win. maybe not... but nomination 1000%.
As for remakes, well it depends. i would never nominate something like Demons Souls remake. It's just the same game with new graphics.
but RE4 is a totally new game. Follows the same story and story bits but it's all new and different. Dead Space is very similar to original but modernized too. But it's not a wholly new game

I was not a HP fan. Now I am buying a lego hogwarts castle (wife is getting it for me for Christmas
)So the brand power didn't work on me. It's just a fine game. Nothing groundbreaking. Just a good time. that deserves a mention

I don't think anybody is saying it IS Game of the year and I don't mind it not being nominated in that category but it's very blatant where it comes down to Art Direction and other categories like that. They would have attracted a LOT less attention if it was just put it in there once in one of the others.
I played the game and yes it got boring eventually and structure wise it could have been better BUT graphically it was amazing and the interactivity and the adaption of the Harry Potter source material in the world is second to none, not to mention the great music in it and I'm no expert in audio design but there is ALWAYS something to listen to in that game to add to the atmosphere.
It could have gone in:
Best Art Direction
Best Audio Design
Best Action/Adventure Game
and at a push:
Best Score and Music
though the standard here is very high TBF and I can understand it not being nominated.
The game itself may not have been perfect but a lot of aspects of it were of a very very high standard and deserved recognition.

Basically this. I personally loved the game but it's a very safe by the numbers type of game. It's certainly not going to win any awards for gameplay mechanics or narrative.
That being said, the game can look stunning at times so it absolutely deserves a nomination for best art direction and if a game like Final Fantasy 16 can get nominated for best RPG (it's not a RPG) then Hogwarts Legacy needs a best RPG nomination as well. It doesn't deserve to win either though.

It isn't strange at all that it isn't GOTY nominated, but it raises an eyebrow that it wasn't nominated for anything.
I still haven't played it though so idk, people I've talked to tend to say that it'd be kind of mediocre without three license attachment but HP superfans seem to love it.
They should really hold these things in February and account for the entirety of Jan-Dec for the year prior. Not accounting for the last two months of the year is retarded, but even more retarded is the idea of a 2022 game winning GOTY 2023.
