Wait, I'm confused. Are you talking about Golden Joystic or the Game Awards? Because I absolutely agree with your post in context of Golden Joystick, but the Game Awards nominations make more sense.
I was responding to Dex Paladins assessment of the listed competition, where they made a focal point about the others not really being in the correct category at all; in confirming this for the listed games, I asked the question as to why they seemed to think that being lined up against games that didn't match the formal category being assessed was a point in its favour. (I'll admit that the context and which games we're talking about, and for which competition has meandered a bit, and if I've mixed some things up on that score I appologise)
To be clear, I'm not getting into a discussion about what does and doesn't count as an RPG - I'm just going by the formal categorisation of each game.
You are arguing BG3 is the only title that has a right to win.
No, I'm not. I was asking Dex a question about what stance they wished to take.
Taleon, you are being aggressive, derisive and your language is belittling and mocking. I'm going to ask you, simply as one person having a conversation with another, to please not do that. There is no cause for it, and frankly you come off as a little hypocritical when you accuse others of having an over-inflated sense of the rightness of their own opinion.
As a side note, string posting, as you seem to be in the habit of doing, is generally considered poor forum etiquette; it's usually considered more polite to collate your replies to various people into a single post when you make it, with separators if necessary.
This site is filled with people with a broad spectrum of many and varied opinions - some in favour of various elements of the game, and others dissatisfied with them; people are allowed to have these different opinions and voice them without worrying that a poster such as yourself is going to attack them for it.
As for voting... if the vote category was "best sound design", and it was won by a margin of 300 votes, when the 2000 deaf players who played the game and voted all voted for it "because they loved the game and enjoyed it", that dramatically detracts from the legitimacy of the vote. It doesn't deny that they did, indeed, love the game, or detract from that in any way... but that isn't what the question was about.
