Hmm, that's a generally great lineup though? There are things I would have personally preferred in or out, but those are all well loved games on that list for good reason.

like i said it's not un heard of to give an indie respect once in a while but most of the other candidates are big title games
This was probably the work of one individual rather than multiple people like the OP suggest, and far more likely done to just get a rise out of others rather than the fact they couldn't stand the result. The upset on display in this thread probably put a huge smile on their face.
lolSony watching gamers argue over whether Ghosts or TLOU2 is GOTY.
I mean the upset in this thread basically amounted to "how stupid and immature of them." Which is true regardless. Not like many went into any kind of frenzy lol.
Way funnier than TLoU2 just winning outright. Why I want it to sweep more than anything, the meltdowns will be amazing.

I mean it also has gotten people to now vote for TLOU2. So if that was their goal...
Ghosts of Tsushima winning game of the year would be the saddest shit ever, that would be like 2014 levels of barely any noteworthy games.
Same reason people review bombed the game. So that they can point to the results and claim it's the popular opinion.
The reactions from some people if it loses will be just as good.
I think Abby's side had some more memorable sequences and set-pieces, like with the scyscrapers, the hospital, or the burning village at the end. Like mini-narratives through gameplay. Ellie's side is more of a blur I have trouble remembering as it felt very samey and only in service of a static goal.
Still, with Abby there were some fetch quest motivations with having to fetch a surgical kit all across town, or fetching Lev from the village (though that was character driven on his part). I wish the game had more character choices throughout, or more of the side characters having an impact on the story as some were quite interesting.

The difference is if it loses, you aren't going to see a trillion videos of the quartering or geeks and gamers crying into their pillows.
Its odd how many of these guys attached themselves to Ghost of Tsushima just to spite TLOU. It makes you wonder how many in the community genuinely like the game (like myself) vs how many are using it as a pawn to spite Naughty Dog.
Better than alt righ folks using caps lock at Twitter? doubt
Like look at this gem
That is not even the worst of it, people were hating on it because of Abby who for some delusional reason called a trans man because according to them women can't have muscles
It must feel damn good for Sony seeing its original trinity of first party devs (ND, Insomniac, and Sucker Punch) all in the GOTY running. What a legacy.
Is just like how many of them became "fans" of Alita just because they needed an excuse to hate on Captain Marvel without looking like a blatant misogynistic
First paragraph: agreed, especially with that gameplay diversity on display.
Second:
Do you think it would have been a better game pacing wise if it was more linear?
Nah...I definitely think there will be crying all around, win or lose. Some people care way too much about awards. Especially "GAMERS".
Dunno what you mean, that line up is pretty good.
Unless we all know what you trying to mean.
I think it's worth clarifying that this poll doesn't determine overall GOTY at the show - that's still mostly decided by a critics panel. This one's just a fan bracket that mostly exists to get fanbases engaged with the show (last year Fire Emblem won as a protest vote against it not getting a GOTY nom).
Near the end of voting when this started,through Chrome,the whole site just froze for me and I had a hard time closing my Browser,it just froze my PC like if I had a memory leak or something...went back later to see if my votes registered and they did,never went back since...so maybe its not a hack...***shrugs***
The raw gameplay was the best thing about it right behind the art style.
Those are all games that were already up for GOTY. Last year's vote featured finalists, and a winner, that were largely shut out of other categories.
Also Gamer shit heads trying to pit TLOU and GoT against each other is giving me serious Captain Marvel vs Alita Battle Angel "fandom war" vibes XD
Even down to SIE/Disney owning both IPs

Yeah before launch people were being transphobic to a character that is not even trans, crazy times.
this was my post from the other thread but it turns out sakai was right after all
Of the year's eligible mediocre open world action adventure games - it's a hair more interesting than Valhalla and Watch Dogs. And Cyberpunk's delay left an opening in a lot of people's ballots.
Speaking personally, it has a specific vision. It feels so intentional and intended. It's the game I have wanted since Uncharted 3 since 2011 and that comes down to what ultimately feels seamless. It's got issues, especially with gameplay diversity and loop(which can be addressed) but its one of the best damn 1st installments I've played all gen.
The gameplay is kinetic and visceral in a way thats satisfying. The presentation checks all those boxes I have wanted for so long.
Oh boy, this ought to be good. Would you like to expand on this vague, cowardly comment?
i don't get it either but it's a popular theme in a weak year.
The final player's voice last year also had smash and death stranding which were also up for GOTY though?
I agree it would be more interesting to just take out the GOTY nominees, but it kind of goes against the spirit of the "player's voice" award if you took out certain games.
The bizzare thing is, alt-right idiots rallying behind Alita at least made some sense as a 'political statement' by rallying around a female action film that they interpreted as being less feminist than Captain Marvel.
Ghost of Tsushima seems to have caught on as the 'anti-TLOU' simply because it's ALSO a PlayStation exclusive. For all of their political posturing, they're still adherant to brand loyalty above making a coherent point.
