No. But you should never have bought an xbox either.Wow. Should I sell my Xbox Series X?
Installments in the Forza Horizon franchise are Game of the Generation quality. You can play them for 500 hours and still have a thrilling experience when jumping back in. Most of the GOTY nominees are one and done type games.Not having a single candidate in more than 10 years is horrible, we are no longer talking about winning, simply about having something "gotty quality" that Sony and Nintendo have delivered almost every year, this year it seemed that Starfield was going to be the first but he didn't measure up.

They also have the audio, visual, and mechanical gameplay blended perfectly. Nothing else on that level in the genre or hybrid genres.
replayability is not the end all be all of what makes a game of the year/generation
For some reason, all next years would be the years of XBOX.But next year will be the year of Xbox!
I play on every system and I am absolutely positive about what I said.You don't believe that, do you? Seems impossible. In over two decades Xbox has NEVER WON one award? That doesn't seem bizarre at all? Like.....at all????
Cmon...let's not hazard looking daft to try and keep up this narrative that Sony and Nintendo are the only ones who have made excellent games. Hell, Xbox has been in the game for over two decades. They've definitely had some heavy hitting, award deserving games in all this time. Fuck the haters, one and all. It is what it is.
Die-hard Xbox fans are like Ferrari F1 fans or Manchester United fans, always hyping up the following year but nothing comes of itFor some reason, all next years would be the years of XBOX.
Yes seems to be a pretty varied list of mostly deserving winners (except Overwatch). From Software has won as many times as Sony!2022 - Elden Ring over GOW
2021 - It takes Two over Ratchet
2020 - TLOU2
2019 - Sekiro over Death Stranding
2018 - GOW
2017 - Zelda over Horizon
2016 - Overwatch over uncharted 4
2015 - Witcher 3 over Bloodborne
Thats 2 in the last 10 years.

Yeah exactly, still waiting to be blown away by their games.Die-hard Xbox fans are like Ferrari F1 fans or Manchester United fans, always hyping up the following year but nothing comes of it
The Horizon games are pretty accessible. I would say that anyone that likes driving in open world games would find great enjoyment in them.May be GOTG to you and that's fine, but you are talking about a genre with limited appeal which is why the Forza games don't win GOTY except from a few outlets.

No doubt about that. Forza Horizon is top dog when it comes to open world driving, but I just think that genre has a hard ceiling that keeps it out of the GOTY conversation.
Lost oddysey?I play on every system and I am absolutely positive about what I said.
Tell me: what games are you thinking about? Because apart from Halo CE, and maybe Gears 1 and 2, no I don't see any Xbox game that deserve to be taken into consideration for GOTY title, and I don't care about console warring and also think that some of Sony's and Nintendo's games are overrated.
My post is not provocative, I am really interested to know what Xbox first or second party games could/should have won GOTY, because I spent quite some time to check before answering you, and I don't see ANY good candidate.
Lost Odyssey was alright, but not GOTY Material in my opinion. I think people forget about the insane grinding you have to do and the atrocious pacing that game had. And I mean, it didn't review that well at the time.Lost oddysey?
But damn we really do have to go back 10+ years to find a good single player Xbox game.
Great multiplayer aspects like Redfall where a whopping 36 players are actually playing the game because the multiplayer is so great? Or the great Halo Infinite multiplayer with only a few players compared to other games?Hellblade 2 is Xbox's best shot at what typically wins for game of the year.
Gamerat also just released a article saying Elder Scrolls 6 needs a trailer because GTA 6 is getting a trailer. The things they bring up are tough to even read nor have a discussion about.
Current Microsoft will never apply pressure to their studios & say make a game like this because this other studio got game of the year. As long as they keep adding great multiplayer aspects to their games or a deep game I play for a actual year unlike the 20 hour collectaton Spider-Man 2, that we had to wait 5 years for. I don't care if they ever win. I'm a happy gamer regardless.
Selling a lot doesnt mean quality. Hogwarts Legacy is just another random OW that happens to be in one of the most famous universe of these past decades.Screw the game awards - spineless garbage tier show. Best selling game of the year absent, completely spineless behavior.

Thou shalt not blaspheme.It's unfortunate? What is wrong with the games media? Why are they afraid of Microsoft? Why not just be truthful and say it how is it? There's always a positive Microsoft Spin.

another napoleon complex thread. i love playstation as much as anyone else but the way i understand console wars, aren't playstation fans supposed to be happy that they "won" with more sales and popularity for playstation, they are the cool and popular gamers with all the chicks etc.
why is so much effort out into pointing and laughing at ms/xbox?
Yes. Get a PC instead.Wow. Should I sell my Xbox Series X?

I wouldnt give it above 7/10 to be honest. And remove the HP stuff and the game would have been just a decent seller.
I agree with you on VGA tho, their awards are worthless.
Career moment
Well deserved.
9/10 on STEAM
84 Metacritic Critic Score (that isn’t factoring in that several of those bombed it on purpose)
85 Metacritic User.
It deserves nominations. They excluded it 100% due to fear of pushback.
Yep. Cowards.Even if it didn't get GOTY nominated, it would have been nominated for other categories
i never pay attention but i just see tons threads rallying around and people feeling cool they can point to things like marketing and sales and spend all day talking about how much better playstation is than xbox, seems like a lot of concern and effort to meYou think it takes effort for Xbox/PlayStation warriors to point and laugh at Xbox/PlayStation?

Fans never ask MS, a trillion dollar company, to do better. They just blame the "other team."Wasn't that long ago that Xbox fans were beating their chest about Microsoft winning Publisher of the Year and Nadella Satya bragging about Xbox outselling PlayStation for three quarters straight in the US. Call it "concern and effort" if you want but it works both ways.

I’ve wondered this myself about some in the PlayStation community, not only about GAF but other places as well. It’s like that yearbook meme “it’s not only that I should succeed, others should fail”.
The market needs a strong Sony and MS. History has proven you don’t want either of these companies to be comfortably alone, because we are the ones who get screwed.
