Baldurs Gate 3 broke the standard to the point that other companies said “don’t expect this to be the new standard.”
-
Flute guy is truly Legendary. He deserved his own award for performance
-
I think it's also extremely important to note that this years 'player voice' award also went to baldurs gate 3
-
We need Matpat to announce GOTY next year. Matpat criticizing the jokes is a whole new level of irony.
-
Let's be honest, Flute guy is the best part of the Game Awards
-
Game Theory Request: Comparison between Indie and AAA games. One is more expensive but tends to be longer and more likely to be talked about, whilst the other is cheaper, and more likely to touch on original/controversial stories, and has very passionate developers that are less money-greedy
-
i was shocked matpat dismissed alan wake 2 but that might be cuz he hasnt tried it yet. I feel like if he does play it, we would get alot of theories on it and honestly i would love that
-
I have played many RPG games and I never played one like BG3. It felt like you had so many options and had so much freedom. You were not bound to follow a certain pathz but instead could really play the game how you wanted. And often rewards players for thinking creatively.
-
Surprised you didn't mention how the Baldur Gate 3 Devs were only able to speak for 30 seconds while speaking emotionally about their deceased friend who worked on the game. They were rushed off stage and were looked over- which was complete injustice.
-
Following that list of key take aways and demographics of the jury, why are roguelites and roguelikes very often absent or underrepresented during the game of awards? Many of them have darker more mature stories, are very action oriented, so on an so forth. They also have the added benefit of you being able to complete a full run in around half an hour to an hour or so.
-
6:44 "The Game Awards actually prefer themselves action" There's defintely a sample bias here, though: most games that get made nowadays are action-based. That saddens my turn-based heart, which is why it made me very happy (among other reasons) that Baldur's Gate 3 was the GOTY.
-
Thank you, Matpat for everything.
-
Matpat criticizing the jokes is a whole new level of irony😭😂
-
I already don’t take the Game Awards seriously because they told winners that needed a translator for their speech to “please wrap it up”💀
-
Flute Guy carries the show honestly. Last year he went NUTS for Xenoblade, so proud to be a Xenoblade rep.
-
I still think pizza tower should’ve won best indie title even if the game is popular… it makes you wonder if that decision was designed To draw attention to more obscure indie games which makes sense
-
Flute guy played his heart out, but the score this year didn’t give him nearly as much to work with compared to last year and XC3 leaning so heavily on the flute
-
saying BG3 has 60 hours playtime is insane. That wont even get you out of the 2nd act
-
Another aspect to consider is that old games always had a father figure type mentor to the protagonist. Now with games like spiderman 2, red dead, last of us etc. The mentor is the protagonist. You still have the wise one and the protégé a lot of times, we've more switched the playable character
-
4:56 you should’ve done “Keep you looking fly, while in the sky.”
