Cyberpunk 2077 fans debate if it would win GOTY over Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 if released this year CD Projekt REDCyberpunk 2077\u2019s reinvention has been nothing short of miraculous, with a strong finish in 2023. With how this year played out, one fan thinks it would\u2019ve claimed Game of the Year over Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, had it released in its current state. Since its launch in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077\u2018s uphill battle and how it\u2019s conquered said battle has been a story like no other. What launched as a buggy, broken mess has completely flipped the script after years of extensive support. This year alone saw the arrival of the Phantom Liberty expansion, which received rave reviews across the board, and the 2.0 update, which completely overhauled many of the game\u2019s systems. With the current state of Cyberpunk 2077 being near ideal, some fans think it would\u2019ve stolen Game of the Year away from the winner of 2023 had it released in this state. Cyberpunk 2077 fan argues the game would\u2019ve won GOTY in 2023 For the unaware, 2023\u2019s Game of the Year battle was rather tight, with the likes of Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 battling for the crown. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 won the title, deservedly so, after an insane arrival not many could\u2019ve predicted, blending incredible performances, player freedom, and Dungeons & Dragons into a package like no other. However, in the Cyberpunk subreddit, one player argued Cyberpunk 2077 would\u2019ve stolen the crown from Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. \u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, I thought Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was amazing, but Cyberpunk probably would\u2019ve swept it for having the more mainstream gameplay and setting,\u201d they stated. What happens next is a bit of a recap of the game\u2019s history and the poster sharing: \u201cI\u2019d say it\u2019s one of the best open-world games to release this decade along with the likes of Red Dead 2 and the new Zeldas.\u201d Not everyone agreed with the poster\u2019s thoughts, and as you can imagine, many argued Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 still would\u2019ve won. The consensus was similar to this response: \u201cIt would\u2019ve gotten praised for sure, but it absolutely was not beating BG3 for GOTY. I\u2019ve loved Cyberpunk since its launch, bugs and all, but BG3 is the new standard in gaming now in my book.\u201d In all fairness, Cyberpunk 2077 did claim the crown of \u201cBest Ongoing Game,\u201d although that raised plenty of questions amongst many communities. That said, the real winners here are the players, since fans of both Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 were treated to an incredible year of gaming. We rated Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 a perfect score, citing it as \u201cone of the best RPGs ever made.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
