RDR2 beating DRG and DOTA 2 for Labor of Love is a fucking joke. Even RUST and APEX still get regular updates.
Outstanding visual style for Atomic Heart?! Are you shitting me? Only unique visuals in that is the faceless sex bots and it's a terrible game overall. Wholly undeserved.
Most Innovative Gameplay for STARFIELD?! OF ALL GAMES?! Yikes. Just.. fucking yikes.
I had a similar reaction on these titles...honestly I felt that the results were rigged. Is it just me?
Probably just the fact that it's a popularity contest. Doubt it's rigged, it's just poorly moderated and fabricated.
But why would RDR2 Fans give it the Labor of Love award with Rockstar that abandoned it years ago to focus on selling more Microtransaction in GTA-Online
Thanks, makes much more sense. Too bad that some great titles lost just because they were not so popular. To be fairer Steam should add some rules like: of you didn't play the game, you cannot vote it...
I honestly think it's mostly that the people who voted aren't too bright.
See list of games. Pick favorite game. Category? What category?
I don't know but it would be very like Valve to put zero effort into ensuring it's not manipulated.
That said, most large polls trend much more mainstream than people expect.
Starfield may have been a bold new frontier in mediocrity but it nevertheless had about 2 million more chances to be someomes favorite game compared to some indie title.
for real... RDR2 has been abandoned years ago
It's not even that big of a surprise after last year's "best VR game" was Hitman 3. That game's VR support is, excuse my language, absolute fucking dogshit.
Bonelab was a disappointment, absolutely, but at least it was a proper damn VR game and not a mediocre game with VR tacked on for literally no reason but, I assume, some exec's feature checklist
