Jez on Twitter is lol
Hard to take him seriously, plus this:
Not sure I understand, the pc version was supposed to good? Or did you miss that it said pc in the title in your haste to post something negative?
What would it take for a racing game to get a nomination?
Horizon 5 was the highest rated game of the year, was incredibly popular with the public, and had no major faults, yet still didn't do enough to qualify.
Maybe Horizon 6 with a narrative-driven story mode? Or is this just a permanent blind spot in the same way the Academy ignores Horror and Comedy movies?

True. I don't really take it seriously as an actual awards show.
Yeesh. Metroid is a great game, bad look to throw it under the bus like that.
True, caring this much about it is wierd in itself. Even if he has a point.
Agreed that game awards are biased towards high profile single player games.
I'll bet you half the reason 12 minutes was nominated was cause of it's star power.

Agreed. If we are going to make this case, then NBA 2K and other sports games etc, should be in these same conversations since those games also rate very high in the 90's. This is only an issue because this is an Xbox exclusive and that's it.
A lot of indie games get snubbed, not every cinematic game is given the award, shit even some Jrpgs, strat RPGs are snubbed so what??
Kale salads can be absolutely amazing and I won't stand for this insult.
Of course it is, the game is simply mediocre and the twist was awful lol
There is a difference between saying "my favorite game was snubbed" and saying "this entire industry is biased, flawed, shit etc. because my favorite game wasn't nominated". And it's even worse when it's said by someone who actually reviews/covers games.
I always wondered what happened to the characters in Ctrl Alt Del.
Id agree 100% but... Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart got nominated for GOTY as well. Which is basically exactly as you say - same as before but in higher fidelity (ok, and portals that are rather limited in scope)
So arguably, if that's a metric you'd disqualify Forza on, R&C should be kicked from the list as well (in favour of Returnal naturally, which is vastly better than R&C)
Ha, yeah, I'm closer to this. Kind of an embarrassing response with such charged reactions like this.
Jez probably had that piece already laid down before the nominations.
I think the issue its due to lack of diversity in their jury. Probably is a bunch of people who plays a lot of games but for like 10 hours, then moves to the next one, and usually preffer the games that "ends" or "gives a complete experience" after a couple of hours.
They are trying to be like the oscar and that´s fine. Their´s is the single player narrative driven character action goty awards, surely other media out there is doing racing or cinematic roguelike goty awards.

PC version is less buggy, but still didn't had 50% of what was promised by CDPR
This is bullshit and you know it.
Sports games were absolutely in the conversation as early as the 2000s and Madden even won during the Spike TV awards of 2003 or 2004 lol
Not getting nominated now when they are rush jobs is perfectly valid, but comparing FH games with the yearly sport titles is also dumb.
Dunno. Game literally just came out and its probably too late to put it in consideration. Also, VGA's are basically a super condensed version of E3 with a progamming block packed with more announcements there than almost the rest of the year combined. I just cant see the reason to get upset over it.
We're talking about an awards show that a) most people only watch for announcements and b) had a walking promotional disposable razor in the ceremony once. Why are we granting it any sort of legitimacy now?
Well. The BP nomination only happened recently. Things change. Movies in the MCU generally doesn't review as well as Forza Horizon anyways with most of its movies ranging from average to good. There's like a handful of MCU movies that had a slight chance of getting nominated. The comparison was flawed to begin with.
Let's say EA gets his act together and develops the best FIFA/Madden/NBA game ever. I can't see a future were anyone would make this huge a stink if a 92% 10million+ players FIFA/Madden/etc. game is not nominated for a Game of the year award. For most people racing is as big of a genre as sports games. I can't remember seeing a big sports game in any game of the year award shows during the last years.
Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes and hell, review scores in general have completely discredited modern culture.
Overly dramatic, yes.
But mostly true.
FH5 ffeels like the one that broke the camels back, there has been several incredible FH games the past decade, always snubbed. Now, it's not just possibly the best one of the lot, but is literally the highest rated game of the year, with amazing accessibility features, graphics, content variety.... how the hell do you STILL not give it a nod?
And lol the people posting that it's "just" a driving game and doesn't push the industry forward when games like RE village and R&C are nominated. Great games, but if you think those push the industry forward in any way then I have a bridge to sell you. If anything , FH's accessibility and scalability should be shouted from the rooftops, with how it allows people to get into and enjoy a driving game regardless of their knowledge of the genre.

2003. We are in 2021 and there has been a ton of evolution in the genre, some albeit bad, but if we are going off of "Metacritic scores" then they should be in the conversation. Why is Forza the moving needle to this useless conversation?
