I work very hard but I try to stay up to play with my friends as much as I can even though I'm tired so I end up falling asleep in the discord and leaving my server open(I work night shift) but I'm okay I appreciate the concern 😄
Same way Elden Ring won. Offer a solid game with a good story arc, and then the tools to beat the game in many many many ways. Everything is viable in some fashion. Lots of ways to experiment. Respect your players time. Don't treat them like cash-cows. That's it. At least what I think.
I agree with this but as a souls fan who played all soulsborne games I still say Elden ring doesn't deserve as much praise as ds3,bloodborne and even Sekiro as that game Is massively underrated.
BG3 deserved the reward in any and every sense. Way too many features to list, but to mention some: - Great story, outcome of what will vary depending the choices player makes, not only the end result but also various stages throughout the game - Great characters with very different personalities, wishes - Each character has their own story, outcome of which can vary by the choices player makes, not only the end of story but even middle stages - Choices Last point in the list is the most important, because everything in the game depends on choices. You can play BG3 through several times, each time making different choices and each time the outcome will be different. Not "different" because some NPC will say different line then last time, but different because it changes all. Make a choice and save some camp of people, eliminate bandits. Make a choice and destroy the camp and join the bandits. Make a choice and destroy both. Each choice also leads to follow-up consequences. Not only that but the choice can be made even in mid-way and outcome will be different then it was going to initially. And much more. I had absolutely no doubts whatsoever when I cast my votes for GoTY and sent most of them - not all - towards BG3. There's literally nothing what Spiderman 2 offers as a comparison, it's just a platformer jumping game which runs on rails towards one single destination like a train, each and every time. Or games like Diablo 4 are simply cash grabs, where lazy developer tries to slide through on their old fame, by sprucing the visuals up a bit and then hopes that people will not see that this is a "pay to win" game behind all of the flashes, offering absolutely nothing when it comes to story and gameplay.
