Perhaps they just preferred Yoshi to Concrete Genie, even if it maybe a more unique game, albeit I'm gonna raise my eyebrows at it pushing technical achievements. Maybe they just treat the Family category as the Nintendo category. Who's to say? I don't have any horse in this race, as I don't care for either game. I'm just saying that it's not exactly odd that Yoshi is on there over Concrete GenieIf sales were that important a bunch of other games would be in over Control.
Your point about the review scores is valid but I can't respect Yoshi doing the same shit that has been done a few times already in past games. Concrete Genie's drawing mechanic is sublime and does allow kids to have more creative freedom and more interesting interactions with their creations. Concrete Genie is pushing technical achievements that other games don't even bother to try. Yoshi is well designed but a very safely made game.
It would be quite entertaining.
If they ever did do one, which 5/6 games do you guys think would be nominated?
I think
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- The Last of Us
- Red Dead Redemption
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- Dark Souls
.... wow all of those are open world except TLOU lol
Edit: added DS
Thats fair but those OST nominees are strong, I also really liked Ace combat 7's ost.
There had to be at least 5 noms and I take it they all forgot Power Rangers BFTG existed, or never even knew about it to begin withYou know at least the other games nominated are actually good , regardless of how they compare to other games.
But Who actually picked Jump Force tho ? Like none of the reviewers here reviewed favorably for it.

I'm sorry but I can't find the Chiral Artist in Best Performance category. Outrageous.
I'm pretty sure neither Dota, LoL, nor Splatoon would make the nominations, at least not above the likes of The Last of Us or The Witcher 3Minecraft
DotA 2 (or LoL)
Breath of the Wild
Dark Souls
Splatoon
Then fill out the list with your AAA open-world RPG of choice.
I'm sure this point has been made before, but doesn't there seem like there's a clear bias during award shows toward more-recently released games? I notice this every year, but I've never vocalized it.

Yep, this is how it is. You have Outer Worlds and DS but no AI, which is kind of insane.Wow, so AI: The Somnium Files doesn't even at least get nominated for Best Narrative and Best Performance?
LOL, get f***ing real.

Man some people went over the deep end with some juvenile, baseless, conspiracy-nut-job sounding accusations against Geoff in this thread. How embrassing.
They're more than worthy games to be a nominee, won't deny that. Heck, LoL at least getting an honorary mention wouldn't be a shock to me. Really, a lot of great games deserve to be nominated but don't because they're not the type of games that tend to be acknowledged as GotY. It's unfortunate but it is what it isYou're probably right given that there's a heavy Western AAA console bias to these sorts of things. LoL/DotA deserve to be on a game of the decade list though since they're basically a new genre and they're massively popular on PC. Splatoon is more of a personal choice, but man, it's oozing with personality & creativity and it's a blast to play even if like me, you don't like FPS or multiplayer games.
Am not even disagreeing with this list. But lets be real , its going to be full of Open world and AAA Cinematic games because thats what most game journalists love. Stuff like Dota 2 , Dark Souls..etc didn't even win the year they came out.
Dark Souls wouldn't exactly shock me as a nominee. I mean, the hardcore fanbase for it mixed with it getting a ton of love from the gaming media would make it a likely candidate. Dota 2 would be the sort of game that'd get snubbedAm not even disagreeing with this list.

Star Wars released on November 15, so it was eligible but on the very last day of eligibility.Sekiro gets my vote. Why no Star Wars though? Too late to make the cut? Including DS but no Star Wars makes absolutely zero sense.
It's a better nominee than Jump Force.Even as DOA fan, it doesn't deserve to be nominated for best fighting game.

I'm still bitter Xenoblade 2 didn't get a nomination. That's insane to me.
