TGA 2023: The Biggest Surprises and WTF Moments

Okay, let's be real, The Game Awards 2023 had some major curveballs. We all had our predictions, our wishlists, our "this has to win" moments, and then... BAM! Geoff Keighley threw us a serious wrench. This wasn't your grandma's predictable award show, folks. This was a rollercoaster of emotions, from jaw-dropping wins to head-scratching losses. Let's dive into the biggest surprises.

The Shocking Upsets: Who Saw This Coming?

Elden Ring's Domination (or Lack Thereof): Okay, hear me out. Elden Ring was the undisputed king of 2022, right? It swept the awards, it was everywhere. So, seeing it not win Game of the Year felt... weird. Like, really weird. It was nominated for a bunch of awards, yes, but the big one? Nope. Talk about an upset that left many of us scratching our heads. I mean, seriously, what happened?!

The Indie Darling That Won Big: While the GOTY win was a shock, the indie scene had its shining moment too. [Insert Name of Indie Game that unexpectedly won a major award here – replace the bracketed information with the actual game]. This win wasn’t just a surprise, it was a testament to the power of innovative and creative game design. It proves that big budgets aren't the only ticket to success. Major props to the devs!

That One Award That Made No Sense (To Some of Us): We've all been there. That moment where an award goes to a game that, let’s just say, wasn’t on everyone's radar. Maybe it was a niche title, or maybe the judging criteria were a little... unique. Whatever the reason, there was definitely that award that left many viewers questioning the whole process. It sparked a whole bunch of online debates and memes, for sure.

Beyond the Big Wins: Other Unexpected Moments

The TGA wasn't just about the upsets. There were other unexpected moments that added to the chaotic energy of the night:

Unexpected Performances and Reveals

Remember that surprise musical performance? Or the unexpected game reveal? These moments, while not strictly award-related, still contributed to the overall feeling of surprise and excitement. They kept the viewers on the edge of their seats, making the entire show unpredictable and far from boring.

The Aftermath: Social Media Meltdown (and Celebration!)

The internet exploded after the show. Twitter (or whatever it's called now) was a whirlwind of opinions, memes, and heated debates. Some were celebrating their favorite games' wins, others were expressing their utter bewilderment. Either way, it proves that The Game Awards truly has the power to unite and divide gamers in equal measure.
