Starfield wins Most Innovative Gameplay. If that doesn't prove game awards are a joke, nothing will.
EDIT Also Hi-Fi Rush didn't get Best Soundtrack. The music is part of the gameplay. If you time your attacks to the beat. You will do more damage.
I haven't played Starfield myself, but from my understanding the gameplay is: Skyrim in space. Which to me, is "Most recycled gameplay"
Essentially. That category must have been a troll by the steam community.
Even today Skyrim is a better game than Starfield. It's the same formula Bethesda have been doing for 20 years now but they somehow managed to make the world feel more artificial and lifeless. And So. Many. Loading screens. 😔
Nothing against the core Bethesda formula - I still enjoy the whole "explore, run into shit, and spend the next 30 hours on side quests" - but they really need to focus on making a more rich and engaging experience.
Yea thats the first thing I thought. I've seen some funny ass tags on bad games that made no sense, just a bit of trolling.
This. Check out the "Psychological horror" tag for some excellent examples of trolltagging.
