Alan Wake 2 at the top spot and Zelda in 10th. Honestly shocking results.
I went for AW2, BG3, Spider-Man 2, Resi 4, and TotK. Haven't played Phantom Liberty yet, and have no interest in the others.
Yes, I know they're alphabetical. It was a joke.

Star Rail and Genshin, this is just too good.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
I kinda agree with the mate below me. Previous winners should at least be ineligible for a year after they won. At least that's my solution.

Especially when repeats like Genshin made it through. Not a fan of previous years games continuing to make the list.
Yeah, it sucks. At least it has 5 nominations that it could potentially win.
I play Genshin and Honkai daily and I still hope they lose. The fans are just doing it for potential free in game currency.
wow armored core already eliminated. as was octopath traveler. of the remaining games, i'll vote alan wake
Right? It was at 7 when it was just the hardcore folks. When the link got to the masses, it fell off. Damn the masses.
round 2 of voting is live!
There's no way legacy of mediocrity is better than final fantasy 16 or Jedi survivor. Like who the fuck is voting for it?!
Hogwarts Legacy weaseled its way back in to the top 10? Last I had seen it had been booted down from it.
I assume it has a large backing from the fans of the IP in general. Lot of them weren't happy with the lack of noms. Gonna make for an awkward moment for Geoff if it ends up winning (which I doubt it will but who know after last year).
Genshin about to creep their way to the top 2 because the player base wants those Primogems. lol
I'm sure there are edgelords rallying behind the wizard game as some sort of anti-wokeness protest lol. Otherwise I can't see anyone unironically thinking that game is anything but mediocre taking any culture war bullshit out of the equation.
It obviously had its fans but not everyone loved it – and for perfectly valid reasons in my view. I found it mildly less annoying than the first entry, but it certainly won't make my personal top ten for the year. The narrowed down list is a pretty good cross-section of the games I've seen broad enthusiasm for, which tracks well with expectations. I believe the process is working very much as intended.
If Genshin wins, I really hope that Hoyo doesn't give out primogems, and if they do, their games should be excluded from next year's vote. They're an excellent developer, and the post-release content for Genshin has been incredible, but they won the vote last year without promising anything to their players. They should be able to win without people being able to accuse them of basically cheating.
Then they shouldn't have put it in the Player's Choice. It literally wasn't nominated for anything. There's no reason it should've been in round 1.
Octopath and Hi-Fi falling off while Wizard bollocks is still on there let alone Genshin Impact is why democracy simply doesn't work.
The game sold something like 25m copies, i'm sure even if a small percentage of those people think the game deserves it; it will make a difference in the voting.
(not that I think it deserves it, but just pointing out a ton of people played it so that will make a difference compared to other games that didn't sell as well).
It's not going to win. Chances are high that if it makes it into the top five or higher with Genshin still there, some chuds are going to repeat the exact same mistake the Sonic fanbase did last year.
Did they actually promise the playerbase primos for winning this time either or are people just expecting it?
Oh they will. I'mma even bet it's 800, because of the "Best Ongoing Game" nomination; 1600(?), if they win it. There will likely also be something for H:SR.
I think people are just expecting it. But like I said, it's hard to say, considering they won last time without promising anything.
Edit: Oh, when did they first win? Was it 2021? I'm seeing Reddit threads from last year encouraging players to vote for them because in 2021, they rewarded players after they had won. That sucks. They really shouldn't be being nominated for player's choice.
They've never promised a reward for votes. But they always give rewards for being nominated/winning usually after the conclusion.
Guess Honkai also invited themselves in.
I just voted for the 5 GOTY nominees. All the fun stuff was already kicked out/not nominated.

Nearly 14k upvotes for a thread telling people to go vote for Genshin so they can get free in-game currency.

I mean did they do it? Both games are still some of the biggest games on the world now so even without primos, I dont think it would be that far off that people vote for them.
As far as I can tell, they gave out 10 free pulls in 2021 and in 2022 because of the Game Awards.
I voted for it because it's legitimately one of my favorite games of the year and I don't want to vote for games that are already nominated for GOTY.
