trusting Time with video game lists
It’s probably just whichever games had the most articles written about them
And controversy. Don’t forget their person of the year listings.
Hey, four of those games are actually good. I’m almost impressed their list isn’t completely stupid
“Time’s Ten Video Games of 2023”
Why are two remakes on this? It’s not like this year has been short on good releases.
I think we need to make a distinction between remakes and remasters. Full on remakes like RE4 should be allowed to compete, remasters or remasters masked as remakes shouldn’t.
because they are good. The Thing is one of my favourite films of all time, it’s a remake.
Because those remakes are very different from the originals. They’re more like new games based on the originals.
Can we stop slut-shaming remakes? The main reason people hate remakes is because they confuse remake with remaster. Remaster is the same game with a new paint of coat, remake is a reimagining of the original. Music is probably the best medium for a comparison, songs get remastered all the time, but it’s very much the same song that just sounds better now. A song remake is a different take (usually by a different artist) on the same song, essentially a cover.
We tend to be more critical of covers but nobody would dismiss a good cover just because it’s a cover. So why do we do the same with games?
I don’t trust any top 10 list if it doesn’t have Pizza Tower.
Number 8 - Sorry but what, I picked this up about 3 months after launch on ps5 and it ran horrendously on all modes and even had screen tearing! I’ve not seen screen tearing in a console game since r6 siege on x1.
Can’t speak for pc performance but too often performance is overlooked in games, would you give car of the year to something with an electrical fault, I doubt it.
Diablo IV is also going into a much lower player count and it only released mid year based on some videos about how it is not able to compete with games from other publishers this time around.
Not an excuse in any way, but the x360 had its share of tearing too. I was surprised when I saw that, it’s something I had only encountered in PC games before (my only other 3D-capable console were a GameCube and a Wii).
Very noticeable on Bayonetta, and I am not sure which but I remember others had some too (maybe Darksiders?).
Number 1 is Alan Wake 2? Really? I mean, I hear it’s a good game, but…
So far I’m into story-driven games, and I’m loving it.
Star wars jedi appearing in a GOTY list is an easy way to spot someone who clearly doesn’t play many video games but was tasked to make a list anyways. At least Hogwarts Legacy isn’t in there.
So why was Star Wars nominated for The Game Awards and the Golden Joystick?
Playing dredge right now and it’s boring maybe it’s just not for me, but it feels like a mini game from another game that was expanded, like a family guy cutaway became a full episode
Wish Street Fighter 6 made the list. I know fighting games aren’t in style but SF6 was such a great entry into the fight game genre.
I liked fighting games, mostly MK but the newer ones give me the ick. They’re not as fun, is SF a standout or just good in that role?
SM2 over TotK is a joke.
Alan Wake 2 as GotY is correct though.
