[@saurabhtantry5550]

The Game Awards should distinguish between standalone games and DLCs by creating separate categories for GOTY and DLC/Expansion of the Year. DLCs like The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, which bring standalone-level innovation, could still qualify for GOTY if they meet a higher threshold for independence. Conversely, DLCs like Shadow of the Erdtree, while significant and transformative, are better suited for DLC/Expansion of the Year as they primarily expand the base game. This approach ensures fairness while celebrating all types of gaming content.

[@JoJo-hz9ym]

To be fair, Black Myth Wukong, as per these so-called critics, it is against the femalist, lack of diversity, and most important it is from China, how many low scores reviews were really talking about the game itself, so they are lucky to get to the low 80s.

[@Aries73]

Anyone care to bet that this rule change won’t apply next year in the case of Xenoblade Chronicles X?

[@traceries5201]

I agree with your logic re: DLC. I think Erdtree is big enough to be a stand alone game and so that part qualifies but you cannot play it independently so that part does not. I do not think it is going to win but yeah it is weird. I love FromSoft games. In fact I tend to be luke warm on other Soulslikes but their games are comfy and familiar in a way that reminds me of why I play games and what got me back into gaming. Even so, I don’t think the DLC should be in these categories for the exact reasons you mentioned.

[@MorelloZzT7]

I do agree it was put up to hastily.

[@user-ez4wy1sy1t]

I think it’s too late to question whether DLCs are eligible for Game of the Year because they’ve always been eligible-even before Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Some claim that The Game Awards changed their rules just to include Shadow of the Erdtree, but that’s simply not true. The guidelines clearly state that DLCs can qualify for Game of the Year. For example, The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine won Best RPG while competing against full standalone games. If people disagree with Shadow of the Erdtree being nominated simply because it’s a DLC, then by that logic, games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth or Astro Bot shouldn’t be eligible either. FF7 Rebirth is a remake of an existing game-we already know the characters, the story, and much of its world. Meanwhile, Astro Bot, which initially released in 2020, feels more like an extended demo or additional content than a brand-new game. Nominating it for Game of the Year in 2024 isn’t fair to completely new games like Stellar Blade or Helldivers 2, which are fresh IPs. As for Black Myth: Wukong, it’s a mid-tier game with an 80 on Metacritic. It didn’t have the staying power or impact to deserve a nomination, falling out of the spotlight shortly after release. On the other hand, Shadow of the Erdtree is the highest-rated game of 2024 and the highest among all the nominees, delivering 30 hours of exceptional content. If it had been sold as a $70 standalone game, no one would be questioning its nomination. In my opinion, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree absolutely deserves its spot as a Game of the Year.

Elden Ring in general is overrated. Not only is FromSoft notorious for releasing broken games in terms of frame dips and pop ins, which Elden Ring was not an exception, the ridiculous Elden Ring “masterpiece” circlejerk is tiresome and nominating Erdtree is a joke. Considering how the game emphasizes its open world aspect, the open world is visually one of the best looking games but extremely empty and not particularly fun to traverse. Too often are you just riding in a straight line for minutes on end with nothing to pique curiosity. The omnipresent sheer cliffs that can't be climbed or descended occasionally create interesting navigational challenges but are usually just tedious. There are admittedly plenty of awesome stuff to find but the world is so big that it's easy to wander around aimlessly, accomplish nothing from time to time and then you get burnt out. People pan Ubisoft for their massive and bloated open world games (rightfully so), but Elden Ring is/was no different. Only difference was that the Elden Ring's map wasn't plagued with markers and quest icons.

Not defending this decision, but the Xenoblade comparison isn’t a one-to-one. 2023 was a more competitive year than 2024, plain and simple.

[@brundel7467]

The world is not just Metacritic and the USA. The jury is global, including some from China, Japan and other countries in Asia. And Black Myth is a huge hit in China. Stellar Blade probably only managed to get 2 nominations thanks to a global, unbiased jury. Tastes differ. Kojima also said at the time that Death Stranding was rated much better in Europe than in the USA. Various AA RPGs such as Gothic, Elex or the stuff from Spider are also rated higher in Europe than in the USA. Personally, I welcome it when the jury outside the USA and Europe has more influence. IGN recently bought up various competing media such as Eurogamer, and in my opinion IGN is not particularly competent.
