I like Maximillian's idea that there will be a rift in the judging committee between Erdtree and Something else(Astrobot?) enough that something else (Balatro) might sneak through the cracks for a surprise win.

I can totally see his scenario that some of the judges will not be happy seeing Elden Ring there for a second time and some will be happy.

Erdtree deserves to win by every known measure of video game analysis, but I think Geoff is going to go Wukong to get that Chinese market share.

Ain’t no way a board of ding dongs will pick Erdtree.

It’ll be Rebirth. It’s the safe industry bet lol.

Erdtree easily if it wasn't an xpak....so Metaphor or Astro.

Honestly, wouldn't be upset with anything except Balatro. It's an amazing game, but no.

I hope Black Myth wins simply because it was a total dark horse. It appears to be a fake game, no one could believe a non-western no-name dev could pull it off - but they totally did. It's not the greatest game ever made, but it's a heck of an achievement and well worth celebrating in my eyes.

Erdtree was a pretty big disappointment for me. A bloated slog that ultimately landed about a 7/10. It's impressive scale for an addon, but it's as empty as it is large. Despite Elden Ring being an all-timer for me, I won't play through the DLC again.

Balatro or Rebirth is going to win. Rebirth will cancel out the Refantazio, unfortunately.

Before the "it's just a card game" crowd get upset again. Yes, it is a card game. And it's being nominated for GOTY. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Its definitely a hard year to predict, but i think its Astro Bot.

Rebirth = lower chance just because Remake got RPG in 2020 and this time they will give Metaphor me thinks
Balatro and Wukong = very low chance
DLC = no chance
Metaphor = high chance but i lean on Astro Bot just because there is too much RPG in there and they will lose votes to each other.

It will be Elden Ring DLC. I beat it on both PS5 and Series X. After beating them, I have deleted my game saves so that I may not be tempted to simply jump back in. I’ve completed the game 100% twice.

Those results reflect not a prediction of what will win, but rather a preference for what people want to win

Classic. Never grow up GAF.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Elden Shit will win

My heart says Rebirth. My head says Astro Bot.

I have a feeling Elden Ring is going to get snubbed because there's going to be some critics (and there's a lot on the panel) that won't want to see DLC win.

I voted metaphor : new IP, very highly rated by reviewers and highly regarded by core gamers. My backup would be Astrobot, Sony game, not a sequel and very well received across the board.
The rest are all been there done that, black myth loses based on the judges and the comments the developer made about D.E.I.. I agree with the developers but it won’t play well when 30% of the judges are D.E.I. adjacent. I don’t think Balatro is game of the year material based on how this show rolls.
