Yes? The OT is insanely positive and it's one of the best gameplay experiences of the generation for many, myself included.
MKLeo has had an insanely dominant year in Smash as well and is nowhere to be found. But fighting games will always get ignored vs. other far larger eSport games.
It's cool he won last year but the only reason SonicFox was nominated while majority of other fighting game players get ignored is cause he has a huge personality and is very recognizable. Certainly helps for getting a nomination at awards like this
All you need to know how much fighting game knowledge the people who voted for the nominees have is to see Jump Force nominated. Hell no
Opinions vary of course, but I've seen plenty argue that it had the strongest plot and best realized characters in the series in many years.
It's not a technical showcase, but it still had strong presentational aspects in its voice acting, music, and art direction if not its graphic detail and fidelity.
But I'm still happy to see it nominated for Best Strategy Game, which it stands a fair chance at winning.
I vote Smash but I hope Death Stranding wins for the salt.(Though I do actually like it too.)
death stranding being nominted for so many awards is a joke. not just because of the conflict of interest with Geoff, but because DS is not a good game at all.
I mean for my specific taste it really is. Not a fan of JRPG's or any overly-Japan game outside of Nintendo. Smash Ultimate is good but it's really just Smash Wii U with a new coat of paint. Death Stranding is, well, Death Stranding. Outer Worlds is generic Fallout. Sure there are some interesting indie games but that's really not going to carry a whole year of gaming for me.
Edit: I'm enjoying Luigi's Mansion 3 but like I said, it's not really in the BoTW/Mainline Mario tier.
Why is the integrity of the award has been compromised ? What happened ?
lmao

Stay professional, maybe?
This will be an awards show I watch with zero interest in the awards and instead only care about the debuts/videos on games coming in the future. The lack of Outer Wilds and abundance of Death Stranding is utterly ridiculous.
This year is another great reminder that no matter how great Nintendo's output is...there will always be this unwritten rule that they can't have more than 1-2 games being heavenly features. Regardless of the quality of the sales.
Just like there could only be one black characters in the early Walking Dead seasons lol.
Though it makes me wonder if Nintendo even cares that much about these awards...if they are still gonna give him BotW 2 gameplay premier.
What don't make sense?Blame EA who didn't have enough of confidence in their game,the date is given months early,and if the game is good enough will be in the next year,as is Smash,but Star Wars isn't this game,it can't have any chance against the big games next year,so much cry for nothing,the same happened every year and only now they realised this?
Imagine being able to post anything and then deciding to shit post.

Can you explain or put the word forward that these permissions you require for Twitter login are absolutely nuts.

The argument is that the awards are timed for prime marketing dollars at the expense of giving all calendar year 2019 releases a fair shot.
what a bullshit cut off for the fallen order, legit the most fun I've had with a game for a while.
It didn't miss the cutoff. EA sent review copies too late, so blame them, not the awards show.
I think Smash is worthy, but its mostly an iterative and content-based improvement of a well-established formula. Otherwise, yes Nintendo got hosed. If there is a bias, I think its to "mature" games and then Nintendo games get pigeon-holed into "Family" category. Its kinda the way Oscar movies treat all non-drama type of movies, like the rest are just niche and not serious.
I will say that I feel like Nintendo hit more home runs this year than anybody, but they didn't have a grand slam like BOTW. But, I think the rest of the GOTY nominees are in the same boat. I don't think there is a clear frontrunner or a choice that 75%+ are going to agree with and respect even if it isn't their personal GOTY. We don't have a clear cut choice that most everyone would respect like BOTW and GoW in recent years.
Lowest one is actually Control. So, Death Stranding stays ❤
A year where we get DMCV and KH3 after waiting years is pretty alright with me.
I think its a strong year in terms of quantity of good games, but not all-time GOTY-type games. Like I said in my above post, feel like a lot of home runs were hit this year, but nobody hit a grand slam.
Yes, Death Stranding received good reviews from critics and even better reception from fans. ResetEra has a big anti-Kojima lean, and there is a push to create a false narrative that DS was a failure. Your view of the game is probably colored by that community effort.
Who didn't make it because of time and if they don't make it this year they will be on next year list just like smash is here now . So what is the problem?
I don't disagree but nominees tend to be more polished and visually appealing. If not, then they're very impressive, such as Skyrim. Fire Emblem, as much as it's my GotY, doesn't quite fit in either of those
Same. I'm happy to see it get nominations
Really? What did you think of 2018? Seeing this list makes me think 2019 is so much better than 2018. And it doesn't even have some of my favorite games.
Well it's more because, typically, a GOTY nominee gets at least 4-5 nominations in other categories, as pretty much all the others did.
Smash got two.
Doubt you've played a minute of it, like most of the other shit posters on here.
part of the issue is that right before playing it, I played Shadowbringers and nothing FE did could even compare. It was definitely better than Awakening and Fates but it never crossed my mind as GOTY worthy.
Yes, I can imagine voting for
suprised it's not DS for you!
There's plenty of folks, that for whatever reason, think that Smash Ultimate is nothing more than a port/upres.
It is infuriating tbh.
Yeah. I'm honestly shocked how much I'm into it, 50 hours in and only chapter 5 so I guess there's time for it to turn around...but instead of falling off of the game I'm just enjoying it more so far.
It's kinda funny - easy to goof on the game when Kojima said things like 'this moment will make u cry 4 real' and even when I got to that specific part of the game I was still kinda sneering at it. But I'm so much more attached to it now that those little bits where the music cuts in are having way more effect on me.
edit: that said the list might be tougher for me if Sunless Skies was on it.
My most disappointed game this year... also the one with the best sound design for sure, voted for it. COD never sounded better.
I feel I really hit a nerve with that comment haha melee is probably top 5 for me all time, and the leaps between old smash games were much more significant than Wii U -> Ultimate. My comment is generalizing, obviously, but I'm not going to pretend that it is GOTY material either.
