Reply to comment by xiosy in Game of the Year by King_Shurk

While I agree that elden ring is going to win and deserves it, I see this argument a lot and simply can not agree with it and I think it's wrong and it's just people ignoring that certain games exist. Elden ring did not innovate or changed anything, the formula used by elden ring has been done before especially by Zelda games, wind waker comes to mind and Breath of the Wild is pretty much the exact same formula, it's just that instead of a cartoonish and more childish style it has a Dark souls style to it with a darker tone and tougher boss battles, imo Darksouls itself is way more innovative than Elden ring.

Once again no hate towards Elden ring, it is my pick for goty and I think it's totally deserved.

Bro if you look at it this way every game is a reskin of each other it’s just copy and paste with your own sauce on top

Pretty much yeah, I mean it's inevitable with the amount of games that there are out here nowadays it is difficult to create something new and innovative, so most good games try to add a good "sauce" to it, which is what elden ring did.
