The Goose got robbed.

And what is a Rookie game ?

 

[808s & Villainy]

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
How were the nominated and voted on? By popularity?
And over Three Houses?!

 

[--R]

Talent wins.

 

[QitQatQudi]

Pokemon best RPG?

Yeah no.

Maybe new IP?

I was thinking a new IP? Original quess was an independent studio.

 

[black070]

Persona 5 Royal got robbed.

 

[RomanceDawn]

I barely know what the others are and still feel like Game of the Year must be wrong. Pokémon was just such a big let down.

 

[olimpia84]

Pokemon anything will always win in Japan

 

[Deleted member 48434]

What... Is this list?
These are mostly terrible choices.

 

[Bowser]

Well deserved.

A category for Rookie companies and personality such as Nintendo, Platinumgames, ATLUS, Sony and Hideo Kojima can shine.

 

[RingoGaSuki]

I mean Famitsu is complete rubbish, but even by their standards those choices are atrocious. Sw/Sh is 1/100 the game that FE:3H is.

 

[Deleted member 2791]

It's a fan vote and SwSh was the most popular game on the list. Easy to get how it won.

 

[show me your skeleton]

bahahaha

thicc thighs might save franchise, but it can't win you awards

 

[Zalman]

Fun game, congrats to the team.

 

[MrSaturn99]

That's, uh, pretty dire. If it was a fan vote, I guess that makes sense, but it's easily Switch's most disappointing game.

 

[Serebii]

My mentions are a cluster.... because I posted about SWSH winning

Pokémon has only won twice before: in 2006 with Diamond & Pearl and in 2016 with Sun & Moon

 

[Slushimi]

Didn't know 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim was so highly rated

 

[ClayModel]

Rookie category makes sense for KP but Platinum and Atlus? Guessing there wasn't much new studios in Japan last year.

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

Lol

 

[lazybones18]

Check cleared

 

[Alastor3]

Can't wait for 13th sentinel

lmao, true indie darlings

 

[--R]

Rookie category is new IPs, not new companies.

 

[entremet]

Pokemon a pretty fun game. I just wish it had more SP content.

Sekiro was my favorite of the Dengeki GOTY nominees.

 

[Aleh]

Talent always wins

How dare you imply it wasn't an automatic win regardless of quality! :p

 

[Deleted member 2791]

but also: talent always wins

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Blame Famitsu.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

A useful reminder that Atlus needs to bring us Sentinel 13 alreadyyyy T_T

 

[Toriko]

Do not agree with the award at all. I thought the game was mediocre.

How the fuck do these Pokemon games win GOTY and not Platinum, HGSS, BW1/2? What the fuck is wrong with famitsu readers?

 

[Stef]

Let me check that Gnosia.

 

[Deleted member 37233]

I really liked Pokémon Sword/Shield, the most fun I had with the franchise in years. But in which world deserves it GotY and best RPG, over Fire Emblem, for example?!

 

[Aleh]

Platinum was just a third version so it makes sense that DP won over it.
And Sun and Moon are just better than most other games ❤️

 

[Bansai]

lmao, what are smoking readers, ya all feeling okay?

famitsu supporting new up an coming talent, lovely to see.

 

[Orion]

Three Houses sitting right there with better gameplay, story, amazingly voice acted characters with depth... has Fodlan not endured enough injustice?

 

[808s & Villainy]

I hope people get out of their minds the idea of ever getting an ambitious Pokemon game again

 

[Shedinja]

Diamond and Pearl, Sun and Moon, Sword and Shield...?

Oh, wow, Famitsu readers. All of my least favorite games lol

 

[Bedameister]

Well the game is super popular in Japan so I'm not surprised. I myself really enjoy it and already played 260 hrs

 

[Kivvi]

Damn, after finally playing Pokemon SwSh, I liked it, but it's no HGSS/BW/FRLG for me. And simply nowhere near Fire Emblem 3H or Persona 5R.

 

[Odeko]

Lmao, what?

This story must have fallen through a portal from bizarro world where Game Freak finished the game before shipping. Ahh, what could have been...
