zelda wont be as well received as botw. only been 3 years, people will complain about it being the same

A lot of people won't like any of the big contenders irrespective of their actual quality, but no one will hate Ori.
Mario Galaxy 2 was 3 years after Galaxy 1 and it got even higher scores.
I think Ori will do great and I'll be surprised if it disappoints. I also think TLoU Part II will do fine, and if we do get BOTW 2 then that's a safe bet as well.
Top 5 Games at Metacrtics.... of the decade, 3 of them are Nintendo properties.
You see at the TOP 5, 3 games are Nintendo properties. If we remove Mario's name and Zelda's name from these titles, I don't think the same games will be sitting this high. That is what I believe.
CyberPunk 2077 will actually be an amazing game and deserves to be on top. Just like Witcher III was... IMO.
Cyberpunk 2077 is going to critical be very well received but I can see a lot of gamers being disappointed with it if it's not as deep or immersive sim like as they expect. Critics won't have that problem as it'll get 9s across the board if it was just a Cyberpunk GTA clone with shallow RPG elements. Gamers wont be that forgiving.
I'm cautiously excited for TLoU2. Whilst I didn't enjoy the 1st one I do like what I've seen of the 2nd one. Plus I like Ellie as a protagonist better than Joel.
BOTW2 I'm not excited for in the slightest after the 1st one. And the short turn around for a sequel means it's going to basically be more or less than same. Critics will lap it up though. Won't score as high as the 1st one mind you but I'd be very surprises if it was less than a 93 on meta.
FF7 remake and RE3 remake I'm super hyped for. But I think they'll get lost in the noise from the 3 above mentioned games. Especially since they'll be the 1st to come out this year.

If we're going by MC then TLOU2 or Cyberpunk will probably be the highest rated game of the year, although if Half Life Alyx does a Half Life and ends up being something crazy and revolutionary I could see that having a shot as well.
However, if Zelda launches... it's probably Zelda. The track-record of mainline 3D Zelda speaks for itself: it has an average of 95+ on MC

The media could go with whoever. For me it will probably be Animal Crossing, Away the Survival Series or BotW 2 if it releases. Not counting out FF 7 Remake either
Remove the Naughty Dog name, none of their games would've dominated GotY awards or scored as highly. Remove the CD Projekt Red name, Cyberpunk 2077 wouldn't get high scores. This is what I believe /s
You do realize that that proves nothing, right?
TLoU2 and Cyberpunk. BotW sequel isn't a given for 2020 but that'd be up there。

The Last of Us Part II, but I think this hinges on how it handles its violence and if critics find it exploitative.
Critically? Probably The Last of Us Part II. As far as remakes are concerned, I expect FFVII:R to have the more positive reception, less convinced concerning REmake 3 as a result of the original RE3 not being as beloved as the original RE2 was (not believing that it'll do poorly critically or commercially, just not expecting it to be as big or to personally like it as much as the original RE3 either in spite of REmake 2's success and considering it an overall improvement over its original).
It's almost certain to be Cyberpunk, The Last of Us, or IF it actually releases this year Zelda BoTW2.
Games that won't get top universal praise, but still will be very well-liked and nobody will hate: Ori, Nioh 2, No More Heroes 3, Doom, and Animal Crossing.

I think it will be TLOU2. I think CD Projekt will have bit off a little more than they can chew with Cyberpunk 2077. Like being able to customize your character but then barely being able to see them. I think the first person cutscenes are a mistake beyond not being able to see your character. And aside from Keanu I don't see myself as drawn to any of the other characters as much as the Witcher series, although we haven't seen much.
Really, the "Belda" thing? You know that according to you the same could apply to the others
Mine will probably be CyberPunk but I think the game is such a different environment from what CDPR is known for, I can't imagine some animosity from fans/reviewers because it's such a different universe than Witcher. And for others, it could be a convenient picking point. We know there will be massive biases for certain console exclusives (not just Nintendo for the record..) as there usually are.
I do not live there but I'm assuming that this is a reference to the fires over there?
Probably Cyberpunk, outside of any unexpected issues. It's something "new" from a company that a lot of people love.
My money is on The Last of Us Part II or Zelda.
Zelda because Nintendo hit an amazing formula and is likely to refine it for the sequel. Barring an unexpected turn of events I think that we can expect a game in the game ballpark as BoTW.
The Last of Us Part II because Naughty Dog is simply stellar.
Others have shots but those two are likely to be the strongest in my opinion.

TLOU2
Ori
Half life
Spelunking 2
BOTW 2
Cyberpunk
these will all get 88+ meta guaranteed.
I don't even enjoy TLOU but naughty dog knows how to work that blockbuster smash feel that everyone loves.
Half life will be the best VR game ever made and I don't like VR or HL.
Really hoping Halo comes back huge. I have high hopes but wouldn't bet on it.
Speaking of spelunky 2. Why the hell is there no hypefor it around here? The 1st one is easily one of my favourite games of all time. I only discovered it like 2 years ago too.

It's gonna be between Cyberpunk and The Last of Us
Hell, we don't even know if Zelda releases this year

Maybe because many reviewers and gamers considered it to be the better game.
Also in regards to nostalgia over any game other than the 86 version, you can throw that out the window along with how Nintendo threw out the formula established with LttP.
People often look for ways to disqualify Nintendo's success and don't give credit where it's due. But whatever floats your boat I guess.
Oh, the Belda argument rears it's head again? We're done here.
I bet its gonna be a toss up
Between cyberpunk, the last of us, and zelda, nintendo could also come out of no where with a new 3d mario game

TLOU Part II for me.
2077 is gonna be great but I really doubt if it will say anything actually profound when it comes to cyberpunk, if they're still stuck at the "Is robotics a loss of purity???" phase like they seemed to be in one of the earlier trailers.
I really hope BotW 2... isn't as universally adored as BotW because I want a sequel to that game to take the gameplay mechanics of BotW and do amazing things with it, like exploring an actually interesting world. I want that game to take risks, and that'll come at the expense of not having as much adoration.
FF7R will be good for what it is but it isn't the full remake so that'll curb some enthusiasm.
TLOU part II has no reason to be markedly different than what people loved about the first TLOU.

BotW already took risks and Nintendo never let past acclaim for their games be excuses to not do otherwise so the sequel not being as critically acclaimed wouldn't change that, especially when the acclaim would come after the games release to begin with. I think, for some of you folk, it's time to accept that it's beloved because most people genuinely thought it was amazing
I didn't mean to imply the original BotW didn't take risks.
My point is, whatever risks they took with BotW worked, so now if the sequel stays relatively close to that they know the game will sell well. A riskier, Majora-style, departure for the sequel would be more interesting to me but it might not garner as much critical acclaim as the original game.
