Control is alright, starts slow and gets really fun in the middle of the game where you get all your powers and stuff, which also means after that point there is no more progression, gameplay-wise at least, so it gets kinda boring at the end.
It's worth 20-30€ imo, aesthetics are really cool.

I think Is about visibility and marketing (adding goty in the ads for example)

It's ironic that most gamers decry game journalists for their lack gaming skill and their political bias, but they like to use their verdicts and opinions on games as debate tools on what's good and what isn't.
Days Gone is a very good game, it's not original or exceptional but it’s well made all around and the story, characters and general writing is very good with a lot of great performances by the voice cast.
It's weird that most gaming sites had a hate boner for this game since release, IGN's "Another straight white male" and GameSpot's out right false claims, Waypoint's false reporting by Klepek about selling a girl to a slave camp and other SJW lies.
It's like all of them were in some WhatsApp Group or something.
How does the gunplay especially automatics feel?
Really tempted to get this in a BF sale.

It's good but it can feel oddly sluggish at first, i think once you level up and get access to better weapons/skills it gets better.

No way Rainbow Six gets it when FFXIV: Shadowbringers is also on that list sorry

The “Awards” are a waste of time, honestly; this is why Dorito Pope gives 95% either off-camera or during the rushed/disorganized “pre-show” bullshit. If he stopped lying to himself in trying to be a legit “awards” show, the program could be retooled to run trailers for new games and maybe some cool interviews with industry people in-between.
As it stands, while Dorito Pope obviously has a modicum of passion for the video game biz, his connections— which range from friendly to obsessive— really kill any kind of legitimacy to “awards” that he decides to hand out... and it’s not possible to buy into the proposition that he has nothing to do with the “awards” process, simply because someone else claims it to be true. Dorito Pope is at the center of the whole thing— he pays for it, he produces it, he hosts it, he does the legwork to get it shown, he takes care of many of the logistics. It’s *his* show, and, at the end of the day, his awards are going to go to whoever he wants them to go to— for his own reasons, which we may or may not be privy to.

Have to laugh at the obvious bullshit 10 nominations for ds. But that little bromance between Koji and Geoff is special.
Control was slow at first but I kept at it and its pretty good. Gameplay is a lot of fun, which is weird considering I saw it as another Quantum Break and I hated that game.
Sekiro is fuckin great but goddamn I couldn't finish it. May go back to it tho.
RE 2 remake is well made but imo it being nominated with all these new games only shows what a weak year its been. Not because its so great or original.
I don't understand how Days Gone did not get one honorable mention tho. I went from being interested in it when it was announced to being put off by gameplay and trailers, to being interested again by the time it launched and i fuckin loved it. The gameplay, story, and even most the side missions were enjoyable. Performance wasn't bad enough for it to be an issue either.

What a shit tier list of nominees. Killing Floor 2 wasn’t even nominated for “Best Ongoing Game.”

This awards are like the rasperry awards. Dont reflex the quality of the game. And the prove of it is Control as GOTY... I mean what a hell??

Personally, I just want Resident Evil 2 to win to really hammer home its return to survival horror. It nailed the RE formula, and I want future games in the series to follow in its footsteps. Game of the Year recognition would go a long way towards that.
Plus, a (survival) horror game winning GOTY would hopefully light a fire under a bunch of devs/publishers collective asses. We need Silent Hill and Dead Space back on the map, and RE2 is poised for just that.

And if it does, watch them cry babies cry and say "How the hell a fuck REMAKE of an OLD GAME wins the GOTY award" You'll then say Mista said it

Sekiro is the right choice, but the mainstream media won't allow it.

Let’s be real, awards shows are a joke across the board, now more than ever.

It's "Walking Simulator" a genre now?
The irony is, compared to the amount of gameplay Death Stranding offers a lot of games now look like walking simulators with their barebones, stale checklist gamedesign.

What amount of gameplay? I would rather play 5 classic shooters of 10 hour non stop corridor shooting than walk like a fucking cripple for 50 hours.
So you played the game and experienced all it has to offer?

More than enough. And its only there because we hate bethesda.

Is this an "It becomes better after 20hours" situation??

You shoud really play Death Stranding before posting bullshit like this, because everyone who's played it now knows you're talking out of your ass.
Oh, yes... But you can fall in love with the game's tutorials too like plenty did. It all depends if shooting is your main thing or not. If you like shooting, then you need to get to the later parts of Death Stranding.

BOTW won 3 awards (GOTY, direction, action/adventure) in 2017's TGA, with Nier:A winning best OST and Persona 5 winning best RPG. Nioh did lose out to Wolfenstein TNC in the action category though.
Personally these awards don't affect my enjoyment of the games but if they bring about positive benefits for the developers (eg. helping a game sell more, pay rise, promotions) then may the most deserving ones win.
And well, if the game that wins an award gets discounted digitally for the following week then I might have a horse in the race

That has to be the worst GOTY lineup ever.

Of what's nominated, I'd assume Sekiro would be the favorite to win GOTY, but I've noticed these awards have a bias towards games which have a movie like presentation to them (with a few notable exceptions like Overwatch). So I'd say a three way tie between Control, Sekiro, and Death Stranding for favorite to win.
On the others:
* SSB really hasn't altered its formula in a long time, so I suspect the insiders will punish it for that.
* RE:2 is brilliant, but it's a remake.
* I haven't played Outer Worlds, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Geoff has wanted to make his show "legitimate like the Oscars" for a long time, and he's finally doing it.
Problem is, the Oscars are a total joke and aren't even worth watching anymore.
What Geoff should do now is focus on the reveals, keep things lighthearted, get rid of the entire jury and let the community pick the awards instead.
