and it's the most predictable list of all time

 

[Critical Hit]

and it's the most predictable list of all time

Almost. For some reason, Split Fiction is missing.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

 

[Punished Miku]

Ghost of Niche-tai

 

[ValiantInstance]

One of these is not like the others. No place for Hideo indeed.

 

[Mr Moose]

Indiana Jones was robbed.

 

[SlimySnake]

and it's the most predictable list of all time

yes, they should have nominated shit and mid tier games just to subvert expectations.

 

[analog_future]

I would've had Split Fiction over DS2 personally, but otherwise that list is solid.


Just a crazy stacked year. I'm sure plenty will argue for Blue Prince, Indiana Jones, ARC Raiders, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, etc.. as well

If these are true then we haven a somewhat even distribution between indies, AA and triple AAA.

Indie
Hades 2
Silksong

AA
Expedition 33
Kingdom Come

AAA
Donkey Kong
Death Stranding 2

 

[DR3AM]

DS2 instead of Mindseye? WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[adamsapple]

E33 *should* win.

But I can't rule out Keighley getting Kojima on stage any way possible and fixing the votes for DS2.

 

[demigod]

Ghost of Niche-tai

You really can't keep playstation out of your mouth.

 

[yogaflame]

-Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
-Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
-Donkey Kong Bananza
-Hades II
-Hollow Knight: Silksong
-Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

I prefer Split fiction, than Hades 2. But overall, it seems fair, for me.

If Kojima comes on stage it will be the only time I've seen anything about DS2. That came was released under a rug. I've not seen a single frame of that game. Not one.

What each A stands for?

 

[Da1337Vinci]

E33 is going to win or silksong but it will be more like Hollow Knight winning it.

But my bet is E33. Looking at the circumstances, ex-Ubisoft devs, french, JRPG and heavy on story I can see it.
Would be also a good message to layoffs developers of big publishes.

 

[Topher]

Good list. So much for Ghost of Yotei being automatic, huh?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

No Ghots of yohei?

Chorizo keeps winning

 

[Thief1987]

Really bad year if this slop collection considered to be goty, thankfully there were plenty of good games though

 

[Mengy]

Arc Raiders not even nominated.

Out of that list I hope E33 wins it.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Good list. So much for Ghost of Yotei being automatic, huh?

ppl who thought that GoY had a chance this year were pure delusional Sony fanboys, maybe in a weaker year, but not this one.

 

[Arsic]

Good list. So much for Ghost of Yotei being automatic, huh?

It's a good thing. Sony needs to lock the fuck in. I got 40 hours in and dropped it.

KCD2 I 100% in 127 hours.

Yotei is mid.

 

[R3TRO]

E33, KC2, and DS2 are great.

 

[Vince_H_]

Arc Raiders not even nominated.

Out of that list I hope E33 wins it.

It's not indie enough for game journalist

 

[Lokaum D+]

Arc Raiders not even nominated.

Shroud right now

 

[Topher]

eh......there were others, but I'm not going to get into it

 

[clarky]

Indiana Jones was robbed.

Only of decent gameplay.

 

[nikos]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Didn't like.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - Waiting for PC.
Donkey Kong Bananza - Meh/forgotten.
Hades II - Didn't play, no interest.
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Didn't play, no interest.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Started off strong but ultimately dropped and forgotten.

Guess I'll vote for DS2, a game I haven't even played, as part of the process of elimination.

I would have voted Mafia since they tend to stick to single player games.

Hopefully the good games that released this year are at least nominated for something else.

 

[Topher]

It's a good thing. Sony needs to lock the fuck in. I got 40 hours in and dropped it.

KCD2 I 100% in 127 hours.

Yotei is mid.

I enjoyed it, but not enough to think it deserved to be on this list.

 

[Kacho]

DS2 over Yotei is scandalous

 

[Da1337Vinci]

What each A stands for?

Is just the metric the gaming industry uses on games regarding their video game production cost/commercial viability. Originally the rating comes from the finance industry regarding bonds.

Silksong and Hades 2 < E33 and Kingdom Come < Donkey Kong Death Stranding 2 (Less expensive to most expensive)

Granted because Nintendo and the switch one might argue the classification here.
But iirc the team who done Donkey Kong was the Mario Odyssey team, so I imagined cheap it was not.

 

[pudel]

Cool list. Would be fine with every game being a winner. (except maybe fckn DonkeyKong...lol)

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Good for KCD2. I thought the politics of the studios founder/writer would make this an impossibility. Great game

 

[Gonzito]

WHERE IS ARC RAIDERS?!

 

[DenchDeckard]

eh......there were others, but I'm not going to get into it

Expose them!

 

[Arsic]

I'll die on this hill:

Troy baker better win best performance for Higgs in DS2. Only suitable exception is Aaron Paul for Mecha Man or maybe Charlie Cox for Gustave.

But Troy carried DS2. Every scene with him was absolute cinema.

 

[reezoo]

Wow no blue prince

 

[pudel]

WHERE IS ARC RAIDERS?!

Most likely in the Multiplayer category...and it might even win this.

 

[Topher]

Expose them!

 

[clarky]

KCD2 would be my pick out of those, but Arc Raiders is the hands down the best game this generation.

 

[T4keD0wN]

E33 *should* win.

But I can't rule out Keighley getting Kojima on stage any way possible and fixing the votes for DS2.

Not even Geoff wants to sleep on the couch.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'll be happy if Hades II, Expedition 33 or Donkey Kong get the win. They're the best games released not just this year, but in the last few.

 

[Arsic]

Wow no blue prince

Don't worry. It'll win most likely to put you to sleep category by a landslide.

 

[Gonzito]

From that list, KCD2 should be the winner no doubt

 

[Arsic]

[nikos]

Holy shit the rest of these nominees are fucking horrible so far.

Same games over and over.

 

[reezoo]

Don't worry. It'll win most likely to put you to sleep category by a landslide.

Lol, thats the game that requires the most attention.
