It’s my personal goty easily, but I haven’t followed the GB folks as closely as I have in the past, so it’s somewhat saddening to hear it may only have Dan backing it.

i feel like zelda support will be stronger than some people are giving it credit for but pubg is the obvious number 1 spot and there's nothing we can do about it

ive definitely seen OnLine that BotW's reception has mostly settled to "yeah its pretty good" instead of "literally the best game ever"

what i want to know is if people will also remember RE7 given that it was like the earliest big release in the year and like zelda a cool reinvention of an older style in that game's franchise.


also if sonic mania doesnt even get a mention for best soundtrack ill be pissed as hell

PUBG being a top three game of the year is loving retarded. I enjoy that game even but any mechanics it doesnt straight up take from another game are extremely poorly implemented. It deserves notice for being such a huge fad this year, but its literally only popular because braindead kids a d teenagers watch it on twitch all day

PUBG also beautifully demonstrated how many people are willing to pay for a mod, so enjoy the Games as a Service hellfuture. I shan't be participating.

its UE4 but its just dayz with a lot of the fat and jankiness cut out, an original idea that people couldnt stfu about refined into something actually playable (and dayz died overnight once pubg picked up steam).

its fun but comparing it to mario, nier etc. is ridiculous

i've played so many games this year and man zelda was so good. mario was my #2, but i beat nier last weekend and the more i keep thinking about it, the more i come around on the "If you think nier is better than mario, you're a cop" take

much to think about

In a way, it’s actually kind of impressive that a mid-sized modding community for a PC war sim series has been able to do so much damage to gaming as a whole.

Only Warcraft 3 has spawned greater mod and mod-based calamities, I believe.

idk its prob at least partially cause I never really liked 3d marios anywhere as much as the 2d ones. if an n64 had been my first console maybe it would mean more to me? im not denigrating it at all, odyssey is a real joy to play, I just dont think it was as good as nier

Even if you don't pick a GOTY yourself, you'll have an internal list of GOTY selections you'll understand, and a list you'll think people would be idiots to choose.
