Steam has nothing to do with this, people voted like that.
That‘s a user-vote, no? I can‘t say I‘m surprised that there‘s some headscratchers, I doubt the average user knows what innovative gameplay is supposed to be. They should let people vote as they did, then curate the top 20 of each category into 10 fitting games so those that don‘t match the award category are out, and then let people put their final vote between those 10.
Winning this award has done so much more damage to Bethesda than I'm sure they could ever have expected.
It's completely fan driven so if thats the result, then fans trolled themselves
i couldn't even get through the tutorial, space skinned skyrim is a about as innovating as a subscription model for a new app.
The way that they were able to use their toolset to make space, actually super cool. Especially when you start to poke at it a little and see how the clock actually ticks. BUT, it doesn’t really serve fun. Like I bet there is a morrowind technical dev somewhere who shit their pants when they saw it but for the rest of us, it ends up feeling bland.
So there was some interesting innovation, but it did not serve gameplay. Strange award to give that game. The strongest thing they do is level design and all the bespoke levels are really good. That is a compliment I can give starfield without any reservation.
I played way too much of this game and enjoyed most definitely more than the average player. And uh yeah I'm certain steam users are just making a mockery but such is the Internet haha.
A bugged, half empty interplanetary map game... Didn't "No Man Sky" already did that? Maybe the innovation is that they don't plan to fix it later?
I dunno why everyone is defending the game. You don't even need to. This award was determined by community votes.the community wanted this.
