I think it would be unethical for Death Stranding to get nominated for anything seeing how Keighley was involved (however minutely) in the game's development.
EDIT: I've come to learn that Geoff is not involved in the nomination process. Sorry if I came off as preemptively accusatory.

Why? He doesn't choose the games. Also, it's just a minor cameo. He doesn't even voice its character.
Why?If he is only the host,he don't choose the nominees neither the winner,so I ask again,why is unethical?the hate for Death Stranding here is anoying,I would love to see winning now just to see the meltdown.
Calling Outer Worlds "Fallout 3 in space" says you either a.) didn't play the game or b.) couldn't tell a hot dog from a hamburger
Oh, I played the game. It's Fallout in space. And I'm not saying that's bad. But it's like a cooking recipe. It's good, but don't bring anything new to the table. GOTY for me is about games that do that. That's why for me, my nominees are:
Death Stranding - innovative multiplayer mechanics
RE2 - how to make a remake that surpasses the original
Disco Elysium - a different take on rpgs
Smash Ultimate - a new standard for fighting games
Outer Wilds - a creative take on exploration and narrative
How does Smash not fall under a recipe? It's Smash 4 with more characters. It's been rebalanced no doubt but it hardly brings anything new to the table.
6 nominees. No need to remove anything. Can just add Fire Emblem.
Really don't get why people think that DS doesn't deserve a nomination.
The standard in this case is about content and how well it was made. I was in doubt between Smash and Sekiro, but I think Smash deserves more (considering only 5 nominees are allowed).
The content comment would be fair if we were talking about all-new content, Smash Ultimate is a good revision of the last entry, but I think Sekiro deserves the spot more.
It's awesome and I'm happy that Kojima got to execute game that is 100% his vision, and it executes well on the game mechanics within the game. The actual gameplay and the loop of that gameplay is probably one of the most boring and uninteresting things I've experienced.
I don't know if it's a category, but I would nominate DS as the "gaming moment of the year" because everything that went with it was taking over every forum on the internet.
I retract my statement, if that's the case. Thanks for the heads up.
You find it boring and that's ok, but doesn't mean that's bad. It's different. Me for example, love it. I keep making deliveries even for people that I maxed out connections just because it's on my way. The world of the game is like a giant puzzle waiting for you build the best ways for you making your deliveries. I'm always in to give praise to games that put some personality on it.
So be it. Adding Sekiro.
RE2 and Disco Elysium are the two most worthy of the GOTY distinction.
DS deserves more imo, but it won't. Think will be a similar case last year, where it'll gain a lot of awards but lose GOTY. Think that RE2 is the winner here or Sekiro, but Sekiro would be more like a DiCaprio award for FromSoft. RE2 is more a safe bet.
Haven't played Disco but if it wins I'll be pleasantly surprised.
RE2 might be the safest bet since DA Inquisition imo.
Disco winning would be so great. Especially since people are beating the "it's unique" drum for DS while Disco is existing RIGHT THERE and is one of the coolest and most unique games on the market, period.
Honestly I prefer the honor award to Sekiro than "let's just pick RE2 and call it a day".
DS is toe to toe with Sekiro for me but at that level I just pick Sekiro because when I analyse DS it has flaws everywhere, like huge flaws lol but it's such an incredible experience that it deserves to be in the conversation imo.
It's also the best written game in idk how many years, prolly over a decade.
I'm already mad that Fire Emblem was robbed and I haven't even seen the nominations.
Right? It's truly a triumph of a game, and I think it will get overlooked due to being PC "exclusive".
It had a surprising amount of coverage for a PC only game to be fair. We'll see if it extends to award shows.
If Sekiro is not nominated I'm lighting everything on fire, what are you talking about?
Sekiro is my GOTY alongside RE2 and Apex and honestly i couldn't give a single fuck if it's not nominated lol
You are probably joking, but this thread will be fun in 2 hours.
My guess for the 5 nominees are...
- Resident Evil 2
- Devil May Cry 5
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
- Death Stranding
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
- If this is too recent, swap it with Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Exactly. And the 18-30 year old audience Geoff covets doesn't give two shits about Nintendo.

Oh yeah, and the same if Death Stranding IS among them.
I'm expecting a pretty big shitstorm around 12:30.
It'll get nominated for best indie, debut indie, and RPG. Maybe best art direction too since it looks like an oil painting.
There were 6 nominees last year. I could see outerworlds getting in. Fallrn order is eligible.
What games do you think are going to be in the 'Best Original Soundtrack' award? If I had to choose 5 myself I would go for:
Death Stranding
Devil May Cry V
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Kingdom Hearts 3
Sayonara Wild Hearts
And if you've seen any of my posts you'll know which one I'd want to win.

I mean, there are many reasons why Death Stranding shouldn't be nominated for GOTY....
haha of course, at the end of the day none of this matters, it's just another game.
In my case most discussions have place while I'm bored at work, I suppose is the same to a lot of people but maybe some take it more seriously than others.
Days gone should be nomimated but won't be. It has a legit good ost.
