With the latest slew of awards, is BG3 now the most awarded game ever?

[Orion Invictus]

It sure seems that way.

Doesn't "awarded" mean that it was given away as a prize? Ie, the best hockey team is *awarded* the Stanley Cup? Car companies like to do this too. It wasn't given away as a prize (not "awarded"), but it did *receive* a lot of awards, so "most decorated"? "Highest acclaimed"? "Recipient of the most awards"?

/semantics

That's just plain wrong, though. "To award" can also mean "to give an award to".

Seems clunky in that context, and uses passive voice, which I tend to avoid. But probably correct. Carry on!

Also probably trying to receive their latest narrative update, to make sure they're all pushing the same talking points. Give it a day, tops, assuming they haven't simply moved on to a new release.

Honestly? This might be happening. Ever since the community manager for Helldivers 2 was "exposed" for being "woke," I've noticed an uptick in shidding and farding over in the HD2 forums, so they may well have moved on.

That tracks. They literally can't tell which things make fun of them unless people are 100% explicit about it. Zero media literacy. It's why their political cartoons have to have everything perfectly labeled, so they get the metaphor.

It's not, trust me.

I shall carry on.

Even though Arrowhead doesn't deserve that ♥♥♥♥, it'll be nice to at least start using the BG3 forums for their intended purpose instead of having these anti-woke threads ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the forums all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time.

Nobody ever deserves that ♥♥♥♥ just because some people are angry at their own lack of media literacy and incapable of laughing at themselves.

I mean, agreed, I was just saying that while the reasons why are unfortunate, if it is true, it's at least nice for this forum specifically.

Of course you laugh, it's the only thing you can do when you are incapable of accepting the truth. I have thousands of hours on bg3, I played this game both on console and pc and I can say convincingly that Pokémon is a qualitatively superior product.

Well, Pikachu is a one of a kind character. But I lost interest in Pokemon after the 3rd generation was released. The models just started looking stupid and ridiculous to me.

Agreed.

I wonder if this may encourage WoTC and other developers that Forgotten Realms deserves more crpgs as there is plenty of potential there.

[seeker1]

I don't think we've seen an end to D & D CRPGs, perhaps not even FR ones (although it really would be OK to show something other than the Sword Coast, honest), even if Larian will not be doing any of the next ones, at least for a while.

Seemingly, the answer was in front of them the entire time and no-one thought to ask the customers what was wanted.....
The market force has spoken well of this crpg a tale worthy in the panteon of DnD crpgs.

Uh-huh

The customers have always been quite clear: "woke" sells and makes for great games.

Note that whatever gets accused of being "woke" by the loud minority is almost always a best-selling record-breaker of some kind.

My favourite is claiming "tyranny of the masses" when feeling persecuted, and "we are the masses" when they think they're on some sort of holy crusade.
