I get this concern and it's something I thought about. I don't vote on the nominees or winners, we have a separate jury handle that. I haven't played through DS, so your guess is as good as mine in terms of how it will do in the voting.
A ton of people have this odd thought that Geoff actually has more power in picking GOTY winners than he really does. Yes, he does have a vote, but it isn't given more weight than the others.
That is a really serious accusation and very insulting to Geoff. I hope that is not what people are insinuating.A ton of people have this odd thought that Geoff actually has more power in picking GOTY winners than he really does.

My personal pick is FE: Three Houses, but that has no real chance for overall.

It also has to deal with the Geoff and Kojima dynamic. This site has some tremendous hate for Kojima (read: not all). Hard to tell how geneuine people are being at times. More so when it comes to Kojima.That is a really serious accusation and very insulting to Geoff. I hope that is not what people are insinuating.
Also FE: Three Houses looks great but the winner will be Iceborne :P
I hope it is eligible

I would love for Iceborne to be in it, but sadly I don't think it will be considered.
Really? So you have played the game already? How is it?but if death stranding wins it'll be even harder to take them seriously tbh.
I thought this was already known. Thank you for confirming it again here.I get this concern and it's something I thought about.

Oh wow. I really thought he had a vote, but it had no more weight than others. My bad on that one.Really? So you have played the game already? How is it?

Because Witcher 3 was infinitely better than MGSV and even Geoff acknowledged it.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I hate remakes being eligible for GOTY awards.
I don't know much about RE2 so I can't speak on specifics for that, but unless the game was completely re imagined like say FF7 Remake is, I just don't think it should qualify.
If all a company did was update the graphics and make some menu changes is that really a "new game"? An example of this would be Gears of War Ultimate Edition. While a great remake of the first game, it's basically just a visual upgrade and some QoL changes.
It's almost as if Geoff doesn't decide who wins and that if Death Stranding wins it will be based on its own merits.
yeah pretty much. other than being happy about some smaller/indie games being in the spotlight by being nominated or featured, for me it's all about the trailers/announcements/musical performances.I only watch them for the announcements between the ads so I don't really care/mind either way. I'm only there for trailers/info. Awards are just popularity contests for the most part.

I predict Death Stranding will lose GAME OF THE YEAR, but then at the end Geoff Keighley announces that Death Stranding wins GAME OF FOREVER and will then delete all Game of The Year winners in the past.
Your first comment reads as casting personal doubt on the credibility of the awards should Death Stranding win, then the follow up was that it winning might raise some eyebrows, which is something that is going to happen with the fanbases of other games regardless of which game wins. Not sure how any of this matters, because it's clear what the process of games being nominated and winning is.
Haha, yep.And the award will never be given again, because it's impossible to top Death Stranding. Please do it TGA.
You're definitely right by saying you don't know much about RE2. The remake is a vastly different game, so much so there were people who were upset it wasn't a straight faithful remake like the original Resident Evil remake was.I know this is an unpopular opinion but I hate remakes being eligible for GOTY awards.

People putting chips on Death Stranding? It's not even out yet and from what we've seen, I'm not sure if it will even be a contender
it's always a fun show mostly for the announcements, i don't think the awards themselves are the focus. but if death stranding wins it'll be even harder to take them seriously tbh.
