    Sorry, but wtf was as innovative as to warrant a GOTY in Starfield?

    EDIT: no a hater, 90hrs played, overall would not recommend and genuinely don’t see what was innovative.

      This exactly made me chuckle. What on Earth is innovative on Starfield’s gameplay?

        I think it’s innovative in the fact they made it a menu/load screen adventure game… and people still bought it.

      I was flabbergasted by this. It’s literally veered headlong into “Mostly Negative” reviews. Even the overall reviews are “Mixed.”

      I kind of feel like Valve just shoved some of these games in award spaces because they couldn’t give Baldur’s Gate III every award.

      Source: I voted for BG3 for nearly every award.

      its a new bethesda IP. Thats literally all it has going for it. Considering their last IP was made last millenium, i guess that kind of counts as innovative? For them?

        Todd Howard has been talking about how many big games he’s got left in his career. He should beg Michael Kirkbride to come back and stick to what they’re good at.
