...and the winner will be Starfield. That's for sure!

Can I have whatever you're smoking? Cuz it's gotta be amazing if you really believe that. This is Outer Worlds 2.0 at best.

I really can't understand this fight between Starfield and BG3.

It would have to be beyond Amazing to beat BG3. BG3, even with its ACT 3 issues, is still easily GOTY.

I don't get it either, 2 completly different games, It's like a baseball team are going at it with a soccer team.

Wouldn't it be funny if both lost the Game of the Year to a game like RoboCop: Rogue City.

It's because both were released around the same time and both are RPG's and game of the year contender.

But yes, 2 completely different types of RPG's. Baldurs Gate 3 is a more railroaded experience where you don't have too much choice in terms of what you want to do. Starfield is the typical Bethesda RPG, you have sandbox world where you can do as you please. You can ignore the main quest altogether and do other stuff. There are a million different things you can do and and many roleplaying options while as in BG3 you are more limited on who you are. Sure you can pick a race and a class etc. but you are still this one adventurer following the main storyline. Starfield is more open with more possibilities on what you want to do in the game and who you want to be.

I think BG3 is a really good game but I can't help but feel it's vastly overrated. The game IS good, but all of these 9.5's and 10 outta 10's just blows my mind. It's not THAT good.

I really fail to see all the "deep" character and story stuff people talk about too. The writing is dang near immature all of the time. None of the characters are really deep, they are all one dimensional.

Astarion is always, "Don't stand in my way, I want power"
Gale is always, "I want to sleep with you and the magic goddess, oh, I also want to blow myself up.
The Githraki woman simply hates everyone.
The red Barbarian lady basically just says "F YEAH" to literally everything.
Shadowheart is a text book emo Reddit child.

The game is good, but dang is it overrated as all hell.

This is 100% true. Not because Starfield is a better game. But because it is bigger. Like Skyrim, people will be playing it significantly longer and returning to it than Baldur's Gate.

It won't win game of the year though. Because the most important piece, "gameplay", isn't actually cared about in game awards.

Cool beans mate. I'll reply back to this post when i've put 10-15 hours into the game, to then report which is best.

Animations, visuals, sound, graphics, performance, optimization, and most of all, how modernized the engine is.

In BG3 you roll a dice to beat a bug, in Starfield you roll the dice that the game isn't a bug.

[Dax_B]

It's crazy how threatened some are that there's a smaller game studio out there making solid and competent RPG games.

What does that say about the AAA games industry?

Ironically the endgame for bg3 is unfinished and riddled with bugs because they rushed out the release to beat/avoid Starfield

That wasn't even BGS that developed that mess, nice try though.

Or a game that isn't even AA, like Dave the Diver, which has my vote for this year so far.
