Im happy Starfield won a Steam award. It clearly illustrates how useless these awards are. (lemm.ee)

I finally played through the RDR2 campaign a few months ago. The game is kinda a masterpiece and I wanted to vote for it when I saw it as an option. Then I remembered it came out 5 years ago and as far as I've heard from friends there's nothing special about the online play.

Bit confused as to how it was even a candidate for the award lol

It became a candidate because nominations (and the votes) are all community based. Steam has the final say, but yeah, it's the users who are driving this.

Yeah, it seems that at least two awards this year are the results of doing it for lulz :/

I mean, I don't think that's entirely a bad thing. At least it's not gushing grannies mkII...

I played half of RDR2 a few months ago and as a game it is boring af. I don’t know how a game with such a bad quest design can get so much praise.

The world is gorgeous and I guess as a sandbox game there’s lot to do and even the story is alright but the quests are so boring and 80% the same. Couldn’t get myself to finish the game.

It really depends on what you’re looking for. A lot of people like that amazing sandbox with a decent story. The quests and “gotta get from A to B to finish this asap!” are secondary to it. They just want to get lost in the world and see how detailed and how much thought was put into the hunting, fishing, etc. if you’re a “gotta attack the story” type person, you probably won’t like it as much.
