Game of the Year 2024

[Mustang]

I was waiting for everyone to start putting out there Goty's but only Gamespot and IGN has done there's so far, and I don't know how long they're gonna drag it out. I know Easy Allies and Kinda Funny's are gonna be in January (I think the 2nd week).

Anyway, both IGN and Gamespot GOTY is Metaphor: ReFantazio. I know Gamespot has been talking about Metaphor since it came out. IGN on the other hand, I feel like they're trying to fit in. If you watch or listen to any of their podcasts you hear no one talk about Metaphor. There's more talk of Indiana Jones, Shadow of the Erdtree and Astro Bot than there is of Metaphor so their's just don't feel genuine to me, but hey, more power to them.

If I had to give my GOTY, it's Elden Ring despite my issues with the combat. I did have fun with everything else and going for a specific build. Elden Ring did hi-jack the rest of my year though, because after playing it, I was burned out and didn't feel like playing anything else. That being said, I probably will go for another playthrough soon (even after saying all of that lol). As much as I love the SMTs and Persona's, I'd be lying to you if I didn't give it to Elden Ring.

I'll update when other's start rolling out.

If you have one, what's yours?

Seems like they pretty much listed just about everything.

I got nothing here

I was shocked to hear about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, especially after listening to someone like Maximilian Dood and Kyle Bosman gush about it, but at the same time I am seeing a little trend developing around Final Fantasy in general. Anyway, for the smaller titles, I tend to go to these guys to let me know what I'm missing out on.

Speaking of Kyle Bosman, currently waiting on his and Kinda Funny Games.
