Racing games still not getting the recognition.
But then to see AC and Monster Hunter on the list. I mean good games but GOTY?
Isn't it the exact same soundtrack as it was back in 2005? there's your answer
At least I didn't hear any notable changes going on in the PS4 version.
I think every game on here is worthy of being 'game of the year'. I mean ultimately everybody weighs different aspects of games differently. Santa Monica definitely took a big risk with how much they changed up God of War. It's commendable, and I had an incredible time with it.Same here but I think God of War made a bold move to change and take a huge risk and deserves to be rewarded for it.
To be fair, Xenoblade 2's score is just bog-standard anime JRPG music, so if we're judging them by uniqueness they both lose.
Is the Shadow of the Colossus OST not nominated in the best music category because it is a remake? Otherwise is would swipe the floor with the others. SotC's OST is one of the greatest in all of gaming.
sorry. i'm just being tsundere, you would actually be my pick.
Anyone that thinks RDR2 is not taking this year is fooling themselves.
I wish it could be GOW, but yeah, it will be RDR2.
This years been so good I'd feel bad either way I think. So many incredible performances this year.If Christopher Judge doesnt win best performance of the year as Kratos I am out
Eh, the industry has a strong bias for Rockstar tho.God of War will win hands down.
That is a great list of games though.
Glad to see Celeste up there in so many categories.
Deserves it, my personal GOTY.
How should it be though?lol, no surprises in any of the categories going by previous years. Pretty predictable really, story driven games heavy with the token nod to a few indie darlings.
That list of nominees accurately reflects how much of a bummer this year was for me and my tastes. I literally don't care who wins out of that list.
I'd argue that it's the sort of approach that should be left behind and maybe that's what they're doing now, kinda defeats the point of celebrating an entirely new score from 2018 if the greatest hits from the past can just rock up and take a spot by virtues of a re-release.In other years, the music from ports of old games have been nominated (Rez Infinite), so I can't see why a remake like SotC couldn't
