Well, since Yakuza 0, Nier and Nioh aren't on that list, I guess I'm gonna vote for Persona, whilst being fully conscious about the fact that either Zelda or Mario takes the award.
Also lmao at PUBG, great fun no question about it, but it's too unpolished and unfinished to even consider it as a GOTY, in my opinion of course.

In my very humble, modest, personal and ignorant opinion, only Persona 5 and Horizon are worth of the title. And I'm a huge "old school" Nintendo Fan, not kidding.

It'd have to be BotW. Nothing else this year came close - BotW was just an unbelievably captivating adventure for me.
I'm surprised Persona 5 made the list over NieR Automata, Nioh or (maybe) Resident Evil 7. It is a fan favourite, so I guess that's why it made the cut, but is it really a game you'd want to replay?

And somehow FF XV manages to get a nomination while The Last Guardian gets nothing.

That's cute.

Nier over Horizon...come on now...that's crazy talk.
You have to endure like an hour of bullshit in Horizon before any semblance of gameplay occurs. It doesn't deserve shit.
I think Horizon or PUBG will win if it's just one round of voting.
If it was a knockout contest then Mario or Zelda....but they'll split the vote with both nominated so something else will squeeze ahead (they might even end up 3 and 4th).
A shame (award wise) that they both released in the same year, as I have little doubt they'd both win if seperated.

And you have to endure an entire game of mediocre combat in Nier. Sooooo

PUBG... How did THAT get in there? Should have been Nioh or Nier.
That doesnt make any sense.

Good list.
Congrats Nintendo. They just release a console and in Year 1 they already have 2 Goty contenders and I'd be fine with either of them getting the awards.
While Im pretty sure Zelda, Mario and even horizon will get more awards. This specific award is going to go to battle royale.
I'd personally replace Persona with Yakuza 0, Nier or Nioh.
I enjoyed my 100 hours with it but it has a lot of flaws and I'd put it below and the games mentioned above

Its actually a solid short list. I'd have added Divinity 2 personally.
Pretty much. Either those two or RE7. Its like, you have 4 of the best rated games this year on that list and 4 of the best games of the year on the list, then you have that. Its bizarre in an otherwise solid GOTY list.

It's there on sheer popularity alone.

Congrats, Nintendo! Gonna sweep all the awards this year. PUBG will be a close second, though.
Dont be so sure. Its looking like its going to be a battle royale between Horizon, Zelda, and Mario. Probably going to be a tiebreaker. All three of those games are big mainstream games. P5 is niche so maybe this is the kind of exposure it needs to the masses, but its not winning over those 3.
Or PUBG could come out of nowhere and win due to sheer popularity alone. Personally, I would have put NieR instead of it, but Im not Geoff Keighly.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Assassins Creed Origns should be on there over PUBG and Persona. Greatest theme based open world game ever. Egypt rocks.

Where's Battlefront 2? Two NeoGAF threads (two WHOLE threads!) have already proclaimed it GOTY.

How did a game that sold 20+ million copies, basically launched a multiplayer genre and became THE most played game EVER in steam history get a GOTY nomination ?
Honestly, never heard of it until now.

It gets a recurring 2-2.4 million users daily and has 20 million copies sold on steam.

Looks pretty good to me even if I don't care about PUBG it's impact is undeniable.
