ATTENTION ALL G*MERS The Game Awards: Expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes and remasters are eligible in all categories, if the jury deems the new creative and technical work to be worthy of a nominationhttps://t.co/boXNubjiBP pic.twitter.com/lkfBsNe15Y

Apparently Game Awards edited the FAQ section yesterday to say they are allowing DLC and Expansions to be eligible nominees.
This is an obvious coup to steal the GOTY award from Silent Hill 2 Remake (Geoff Keighley hates Konami, a wildly successful Pachinko and Slot Machine game dev company) or Astro Bot (Geoff is an avid Nintendo 3D platformer supremacist).
This is an affront to G*mers every where and we need to take a stand and show Geoff we are not pleased!

This year was complete dogshit for actual new games anyway, Shadow of the Erdtree deserves the W since Balatro won't win

If Elden Ring wins, GRRM will never finish The Winds of Winter. This would be a net loss to society as a whole.
Furthermore, FromSoftware games are all unplayable garbage.

When GRRM dies in two years I hope that he has all of his unfinished works and notes cremated along with him.

It's a conspiracy to shut out Black Myth Wukong

FF7 Rebirth is my GOTY easily. There's also Black Myth Wukong, SMTV Vengeance, Unicorn Overlord, etc. If we are viewing Shadow of Erdtree as its own game, then heck no, it wouldn't be GOTY. Far too many issues with balance, enemy variety, the story (nobody thinks the last cutscene was satisfying), and large patches of emptiness on the map.
SOTE might be expansion/dlc of the year, but it's not game of the year.

Is the gameplay different from the first one? I couldn't stand the gameplay in FF7 Remake. It felt like an extraordinarily bad Kingdom Hearts game that forces you to character switch a lot and build meter to even use items. It was so fricking bad. I really fricking hate the Remake.

That's precisely the problem. Shin Megani Tensei was killed so Persona could harvest its organs. I hate Persona so much, it's literally just shittier, normgroidified SMT. I played an hour of ReFantazio's demo and it may have been good but I literally couldn't control my party members and the game felt the need to beat it over my head that racism is le bad. "Hurr durr how do we let our audience know that our game is a metaphor for racism? I know, name it Metaphor!" I've seen people on 4chud claim that actually all that is a smokescreen for the real message, which is about St. Thomas More's Utopia but I'm not spending $70 and 100 hours to find out if that's true.

In feb and march we had helldivers 2, ff7r, Dragons dogma 2 and rise of the ronin. I feel like there was at least one other good game between then and space marine 2 but its escaping me.

I feel like this proves my point. Like really? Those are your examples for the best games of the year? And don't take that as me disagreeing, you're basically right, but holy shit is that WEAK. I know that every year can't have an earth-shattering release, but everything you just named is basically a, "yeah, it was pretty good" kind of game, the type of game that shouldn't even be in the conversation for GOTY because there were a handful of genuinely mindblowing releases. Maybe Wukong is that, but I didn't play it and also didn't see much discourse that would go against the "yeah, it was pretty good" concept.

The Elden Ring DLC wasn't even that good. The map had far too much copy + paste of random dragons to pad it out and the lore changes actively shit on the base game. The scadutree fragment system also made it an obnoxiously tuned mess that relied on you scouring the map to find random MacGuffins that would make the game reasonably playable again, but even then most 60 vigour builds would still get 2-3 shot by bosses.

The worst thing about the Scadu system is grinding to get the max level of 20, then doing co-op and getting a host who only has a 6 Scadu level. The only reason I did co-op was to test builds without going into NG+, but dealing with shitty hosts who do nothing AND being stuck with shitty damage/health myself, makes it a chore.

Agreed, it was a step down from the best parts of the base game and on par with the worst parts of it.

Vehemently disagree with the lore being bad, there wasn't even any "changes" just added context
The Marika lore was amazing 
Only thing I am legitimately disappointed by lore-wise is that they didn't give us anything on the Gloam Eyed Queen, I wanted Michael Zaki to give us the deets but we got literally nothing

The poster child for the DLC, Mesmer, was completely sidelined for the plot that the femboy actually mindraped everyone because he wanted his half-brother to frick him. That revelation actively undermined the agency of numerous characters in the base game.

It's crazy for me that it took them 2 fricking years to make the DLC and it STILL re-used not only assets and enemies from base game, they also copypasted them all over area. So fricking lazy.
Also ton of places were just... empty. That wouldn't be even that big of a problem, but when you run around for 15-20 minutes doing nothing and then find some monument with seemingly an artifact on it and it's just a fricking Spirit Ash upgrade, something went wrong.
I already had Soulshit fatigue in base game, but DLC just went into overdrive.
And don't get me started on story and lore. I want Total Soulstuber Death for validating the whole "environmental storytelling" meme aka we just rewrite the game billion times and then cut half of the shit before release so now one, not even Miyazaki, knows what the frick is going on anymore since everyone just yells about Zanzibarts and asks for forgiveness.

Who the frick cares about the game awards though. It's 90% weighted by j*urnostrags who dont play videya, and 10% by public who also dont play videya. Couldnt combine 2 groups whose opinions I would value less if I tried.

Theocracy has been requested feature since ck2. And as for now. Pope has barely any role. I except them to do religious leader expansion that opens up playing as Theocracy. Including as pope. And gives more powers if you play other religous leaders.

Ck3 devlopment has been strange. Ck2 started kinda slow. First few dlc were dogshit. Just pure shit. Republic was first good dlc. But oldgods was banger. Then they started to stirke it out to park with every dlc until horselords.
But from old gods came out 2 yesr and 3 months after ck2.
Road to power is first great dlc and it came out 4 years after ck3. Only good dlc before it was northen lords. And even now ck3 is lacking stuff that was available in ck2.

I agree
with Roads to Power 
being the first 
legitimately great 
DLC. I keep telling noobs they would 
be in good shape to only get Roads to Power 
if they don't want to get all of the expansions because it is better 
than the rest combined. Hopefully republics are next on the list. That Venice merchant 
republic mod is really 
awesome 
and seems like such a no-brainer decision for Paradox to implement considering mechanics from Admin 
governments and missions from adventuring can be repurposed to great 
effect for a merchant 
government.

Space Marine 2 was the best game i played this year.
But its too straight and normal to win an award, better give it to the elden ring DLC beacuse it has an open world, a 'story' everyone pretends is good and fembois.
