Starfield is far from a bad game, but it leaves a lot to be desired in many areas. I know nothing about these other nominees, but from what I have experienced on SF it doesn't deserve GOTY, and that's coming from a loyal 18+ year Bethesda fan. New Game+ was done well, as were the weapons and combat. But the procedural generation looks like N64 level graphics and that's being pretty generous. The main quest has its moments, but it really felt like it needed a different dynamic and better writing. I never wanted to finish any of the chapters because they were "fun", I wanted to get through them because I kept hoping the next chapter would be better. It never really lifted off though, nothing that makes you just sit back and say "that's ba!" When I got to Earth I kept thinking "how cool would it be to bring this old girl back to life and fly it to New Homestead or something?" But no, nothing even remotely that interesting, just more of the same, find this terminal, click through the files until you get a checkmark, etc etc. Can't help but feel like Bethesda's best days are behind them at this point. I worry for ESVI after experiencing Starfield, they need fresh ideas and new direction.
At $299 and $499 already, I don't see the value in paying $349- $399 for a disk based Series S essentially. I would however gladly pay $699 for a Series Z, 2tb SSD storage, 32gb of GDDR6 Ram, 12 core Zen 3 AMD CPU, and a hybrid form of the Elite series controller.
