  • With 2023 in our rearview mirror and 2024 looming large, it’s that time of year again where we look back at the year that’s been- and what a year it’s been. It’s hard to think of many years that have been as packed full of incredible new games as this one has been.
    Over the course of the last twelve months, we’ve had the good fortune of enjoying a steady stream of veritable instant classics, games ranging across all genres, coming from developers big and small, and strengthening the libraries of all platforms on the market.
    Here, our objective is to look back and pick out the ones that we feel stood out above all the others, so join us as we talk about our favorite games of 2023, including the one we felt was the brightest start among them all- our game of the year.

      @@brandontalbort I am afraid that's indeed the case. I played both Starfield, Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk (I have a PC, so no Tears of the Kingdom for me), and I had (and still have) about equally fun with them. Of course there are games not here on the list I had a blast with too. To name a few - The legend Of Heroes - Trails Into Reverie, Atelier Ryza 3, Atelier Marie and The Legend Of Nayuta and a few more. I can only say I had a good year in gaming, and Starfield was certainly a part of that...😁

      I had more fun with Starfield than BG3. And it's maybe because I think the combat, classes, and upgrading systems in Divinity Original Sin 2, Larian's last game, are better than BG3. But I started BG3 on PS5 & Starfield on Series X both on the early release weekend. Played 12 hours of each, but then kept playing Starfield because I was having way more fun. And I played nothing but Starfield for 3 weeks. (I will admit by the time I finished Starfield I was ready for it to be over, maybe because I'd played so much of it, but I loved my time with it.) And after that, I still wasn't interested in going back to BG3, I played Phantom Liberty instead. I've since gone back to BG3, & I like it (in Chapter 2) but I had way more fun ship building, having spaceship fights, and doing the faction quest in Starfield.

I enjoyed starfield overall but did not think it was anywhere close to their previous titles and would probably not play it again if i hadnt purchased the 100 dollar version that comes with the dlc lol.

Notice there was no Mr. Door in that Easter egg too. There's a lot of things that weren't in that Easter egg. But they had a rough idea of where they wanted the story to go back then. They still had many more years to tweak it before it'd even get the green light to be made.

      It was a meh year..... COMPARED to other years. Every year is a great year for gaming...by itself. But when comparing years (which no one has to do, btw), 2023 wasn't that great.
      Yes, you can list some amazing games from 2023... I'm not denying that. But other years have even more amazing games, that one could list.

      ​@@billyfraiser6298yeah I don't care for most of these games. My favorite one probably dead space and that's a remake. Big surprise there. Every game now just needs to be super hard and compared to freaking dark souls. No thanks I'll be glad when that trend dies. Souls likes are ruining gaming. Every game is becoming a party roll simulator now. It's super tiresome and annoying. I played Elden Ring and I've played enough of this genre and I'm kind of sick of it being copied by everyone.

    My top game experience of 2023 has been the Forbidden West DLC “Burning Shores.” Just incredible. I will keep going back. The Horizon series started out strong, and just keeps getting better. I’m also loving Starfield. (Hey, I’m allowed to like what I like. It’s fun.) Got Baldur’s Gate 3 cued up next. So many great games out for every player and every taste.

    • @JESSEALLEN77
      @JESSEALLEN77 5 місяців тому +1

      As far as your 1st question: How can a game be on 2 places? (Like Jusant being at 24 AND 23) I was wondering the same thing. I'm thinking it might be because at the beginning of the video it said the rankings were determined by the "entire team" at GamingBolt. So I'm thinking they probably used some kind of points system, and those games that were at 2 spots got the same number of points. As far as the other questions: I'm thinking it's all just a matter of opinion.
      Although, if the rankings are based on some kind of points system from an entire "team" of people, then just judging from the comments here, it seems that it's kind of crazy (or suspicious) that Starfield ranked so high. I still think the game looks cool, but I haven't played it yet. But it seems like the general consensus according to everything I've seen, heard, and read (including the comments here) it doesn't seem like a whole "team" of people would agree that Starfield should be ranked so high. In the end though, it doesn't really matter what "other people" think. All the really matters is what each individual person thinks for themselves. For example I actually really liked The Callisto Protocol, even though most "other people" hated it.
