Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players convinced it \u201cdeserves\u201d GOTY despite Starfield hype Larian Studios \/ BethesdaThe success of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has fans convinced that the title will win Game of the Year, despite 2023 being one of the strongest years for popular releases. From the moment Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 entered early access, it was clear Larian Studios were onto a hit. Then, in August when it was fully released, that hit was released, with the game going from record to record and hitting an unprecedented amount of success. Along with the high reviews and constant praise, many players are now comparing Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 to the likes of previous and upcoming GOTY contenders. Some are waiting to see Starfield fully take off before making a decision but most players are convinced that \u201cBG3 deserves GOTY.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans predict GOTY win despite Starfield & TOTK Posting onto Reddit, one Baldur\u2019s Gate fan shared their reasoning regarding Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 deserving GOTY, stating how: \u201cIt is downright incredible to see a CRPG from Larian (which while a large and well-known company still don\u2019t have the same degree of recognition and brand loyalty as Bethesda) compete and even surpass the first new IP that Bethesda has created in 25 years on its launch day.\u201d Naturally, being posted onto the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit page, plenty of comments were in support of this statement, explaining how the ratings can give a good indication about the popularity of its competitors: \u201cBG3 is the highest rated game on Metacritic this year, and in the top 10 all time. Starfield isn\u2019t even in the top 10 this year.\u201d Naturally, it\u2019s worth noting that Starfield has only recently come out, while Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has had almost a month of release and even more in early access, so the Metacritic scores are still subject to change and we could see Starfield increase greatly after people have had the chance to experience it fully. Others fully agreed with the original poster, exclaiming how \u201cIf [Baldur\u2019s Gate 3] doesn\u2019t win game of the year, game of the year means nothing.\u201d However, despite the comments being filled with support, some took a more neutral perspective, wondering \u201cWhy do people compare BG3 to Starfield\u2026I love both games.\u201d Showing how tricky the GOTY completion will be. Some fans even went as far as saying that they don\u2019t think BG3 will even make the cut, highlighting how they \u201cenjoyed Bf3 but act 3 kinda didn\u2019t make an impact as act 1 and 2.\u201d Rather than labeling Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 or Starfield as the winners, they posted how they \u201cfeel totk will win unless spider man 2 is good.\u201d Ultimately, there\u2019s no telling what title will make Game of the Year in a time as busy as 2023. There are still tons of exciting games to come out and plenty more hours to spend in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Tears of the Kingdom, and Starfield \u2013 but it\u2019s clear many already have their winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
