Merge execrabil site-ul, dupa ce aseara nu am reusit nici macar sa ma loghez.

Am reusit sa voteze vreo 5-6 categorii si mi-a dat 404 error.

[Papillon_]

Am incercat sa votez si eu dar dupa ce am trecut de cateva categorii imi da eroare "unable to load nominees".

[razvanrazy]

Same. Am ajuns pe la 11 voturi si iar eroare.

Au ramas 5 jocuri. Puteti vota unul singur aici: Players’ Voice | Brackets | The Game Awards.

[Espiritus]

Din 5 jocuri, 3 sunt de la studiouri mici sau indie, iar 2 sunt chinese anime slop; și asta într-un an cu multe jocuri AAA. E foarte interesant cum s-a schimbat industria in ultimii ani.

[sexbobomb91]

Genshin Impact lansat in 2020 si Wuthering Waves lansat in 2024, nu stiu de ce le-au permis sa fie nominalizate.

[Xander RO]

Inainte sa ia Clair Obscur oficial jocul anului 2025 , vreau sa las si eu aici lista mea pentru 2025, an pe care il consider unul dintre cei mai buni din ultimii 10-15, de departe! Eu personal ma consider extrem de norocos sa fiu contemporan cu asemenea opere de arta!

1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
2. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
3. Ghost of Yōtei
4. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
5. Split Fiction

Mi se pare atat de nedrept ca nu poate fi impartit locul 1, consider KCD II unul dintre cele mai imersive si vii jocuri pe care le-am jucat vreodata, dar pur si simplu Clair Obscur este prea bun. Dupa parerea mea, imbina cu succes toate elementele care definesc superlativul in gaming.

Un an in care lasi afara din top 5 jocuri ca Battlefield 6, South of Midnight, Doom: The Dark Ages, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, Arc Riders, Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles, este un an memorabil! Cred ca n-am mai avut o asemenea aglomeratie de jocuri bune din 2011 incoace!

[Cristache07]

Abia astept sa joc si eu Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Doom: The Dark Ages.... ma lasa rece. Un joc plictisitor si rock-araia aia ma agita...
Eu aleg Absolum ca Game of the Year pe 2025 pentru simplul fapt ca a fost o imensa placere sa-l joc. La Ghost of Yotei au fost destule momente in care am strambat din nas. Split Fiction e iarasi o alegere buna... Insa nu pot sa-l joc cum trebuie ca mai am nevoie de "un prieten". Asta ma deranjeaza, ma conditioneaza ei sa-l joc neaparat cu cineva.

Referitor la Clair Obscur, eu nu pricep ce este asa WOW. E un RPG pe stilul Final Fantasy & CO, grafica pe PS5 nu mi-a placut, am jucat vreo 20 de ore si l-am lasat, nu m-a fermecat. S- o zic pe aia buna, pai la ce story are Final Fantasy 7 remake da cu el de pamant (parerea mea)...
Singurul lucru care l-am remarcat a fost muzica. Oi fi eu mai redus.... Si nu inteleg.
Gusturile sunt gusturi, il consider un joc overrated.

[Xander RO]

Cred ca depinde foarte mult si de perioada in care il joci si de your overall state/mood in momentul ala. Eu sunt oarecum fan Final Fantasy (pana sa le innebuneasca si sa nu mai stii clar care e care), dar am rezonat mai mult cu personajele din Clair Obscur decat cu oricare din universul Final Fantasy.

Cam ceea ce descrii tu am patit eu cu Nier Automata, care desi a fost o capodopera, nu m-a facut sa imi pese prea tare de personaje, abia asteptam sa se termine.

[Cristache07]

O sa-i mai dau o sansa lui Claire Obscur si-l voi rejuca de la inceput in anul care vine. Cred ca daca era disponibil Hades 2 pe PS5, pentru mine era GOTY anul asta. Ador sa intru direct in paine la un joc, direct in actiune si rogue-likes fac asta.
Astept cu mare interes Saros in martie 2026.

[lucicleric]

Va lua GOTY pt ca au demonstrat ca se poate si pe bani putini comparativ cu alte jocuri AAA....e vorba de nostalgie si povestea care ia intorsaturi random....ceva ce nu prea mai vezi in ziua de azi. E sub FF la grafica, gameplay si muzica( in afara de vreo 2 melodii de la inceput, restul nu mi-au transmis mare lucru). Foarte smecher mi se pare ce au facut cu world map-ul( nostalgie again....daca nu ai experimentat tipul ala de jocuri in anii 90, nu ai cum sa intelegi)

Wow, mi-a zburat Absolum pe sub radar, mersi de pont! Si complet de acord la Doom, foarte foarte slab comparativ cu precedentele, Doom Eternal e unul din cele mai bune shootere pe care le-am jucat, Dark Ages e absolut mediocru.

[paul]

Haideti pe ChatBox la 02:30.

Livestream:

[Cristache07]

Clair Obscur a luat cam tot ce se putea lua.

[sexbobomb91]

Felicitari, dar sa castige chiar si Best Independent & Best Debut Indie?!
Au avut un publisher destul de mare, si un buget considerabil comparativ cu celelalte jocuri.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II devs nu au fost foarte fericiti

Ma uitam acum pe castigatori ca nu am apucat sa vad stream-ul... KCD2 nu a castigat nimic?

Mi-a placut si mie E33 dar parca prea au dat tot la ei. Merita si KCD2 un premiu, macar de incurajare.
