Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Diablo 4, Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 were among the best PC games of the year, but which took the top prize? It is BG3!

I'm not going to lie, I can't remember the last time I had so much fun playing a shooter as I did playing Cyberpunk after the 2.0 patch and Phantom liberty DLC.

It became one of my top games of all time, and despite having finished it and trying to force myself to play something else, I'm itching to redownload it so I can get back to night city.

It took a while but I don't think it should be excluded from the list just because of its original shortcomings. The game's come a long way and it's absolutely a contender for game of the year.

BG3 is still the well deserved winner though

While I understand, Cyberpunk was released long before 2023. They already had their shot at this.

[–] Why9@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah you're right.

That was me just letting my emotions for the game get the better of me. The best and only award it could have won is the Best Ongoing Game award, which it won at TGA.

It's good to see CDPR finally get back into gaming's good graces and I'm sure they've learned their lesson as the public and critics were far, far more harsh for the release of Cyberpunk 2077, than they were for Witcher 3. Time will tell what state Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 II release in!

Then they should go back in time and release the current version instead of the original. Phantom liberty is an expansion, 2.0 is a patch, neither is a game.

Yeah, true. It was good of them to get recognised but they really shouldn't be considered for anything beyond the award they won at TGA (Best Ongoing Game)
