    I was very confused, when it was nominated in the steam awards for most innovative game. Made me a bit sad when people do not know what great games are out there that only cost 1/5 of a AAA borefest.

      The New Game + was one of the most innovative mechanic that came out this year.

      It isn’t the Game of the Year award.

      RDR2 was nominated this year for at least one category

      It came out years ago, hasn’t been updated significantly, and the online component was abandoned. It’s a fine game but why the fuck was it in on the ballot for anything? There were a few games this year like that. So weird.

        Yeah. Hogwarts legacy and EA football as game of the year is very weird aswell.

        Guess there is some brigading in some corners of the internet going on. Or most of the people just have a one dimensional taste in games.

      Lol I’ll give Bethesda credit for a lot of things, but innovation definitely isn’t one of them.

          Oblivion was the last truly innovative game they made. Not that I dislike their more recent games, but they’ve been coasting on Oblivion ever since.

      I thought it was Steam players colluding to meme about it… Because it’s obviously not true
