FF7 remake 2 ? nope
Zelda ? nope
Astrobot? nope
Wukong? nope

What remaining game has the best chance of hanging with this crowd? I guess my pick would be that Indiana Jones game where you don’t even see Indy because it’s first person.

Remind me again why MS spent so
much money buying up the competition?

 

[Punished Miku]

Hellblade 2 is still my current frontrunner. I'm looking forward to Stalker and Indiana Jones. MS doesnt really make the kinds of mainstream stuff that gets universal acclaim. Even Indiana Jones being 1st person is apparently controversial. Dungeons of Hinterberg is likely in my top 5 as well.

 

[RoboFu]

Wukong?! lol wut?

Eldin ring expansion is the best so far according to ratings., But my money is on Astrobot or Zelda.
though Astrobot is basically a Nintendo game... they ripped off so much from Mario.

Come on man. I respect your opinion but you can't be serious.

I'm likely going Shattered Space for best expansion. We'll see how it is.

Serious about what?

 

[Topher]

Against Shadow of Erdtree? I doubt that.

Hellblade 2 is the best game you played this year.

 

[XXL]

And if they did, they would just shutdown the studio who made it.

 

[Punished Miku]

Against Shadow of Erdtree? I doubt that.

For me personally, almost surely. For Geoff? Literally 0% chance.

You weren't around for the Hellblade 2 thread? Ah man, you missed some good times.

Hellblade 2 for GOTY? It’s even more dire for you guys than I thought. My condolences.

 

[Punished Miku]

Hellblade 2 is the best game you played this year.

Easily, so far. I dont really care if people agree. Still Wakes the Deep is also a top 10 contender for me.

 

[Skifi28]

Miku loves his cinematic games. The more cinematic, the better.

Please dont do this to this thread. Lol.

 

[Mownoc]

If you're asking if it will have a 90+ metacritic console exclusive. No of course not.

 

[Gaiff]

Indiana Jones is really their only shot

Game looks mediocre as shit.

Wukong, Astro Bot, and FF VII Rebirth have the best chances. Wukong is likely a very distant third though.

 

[Lupin25]

There’s no way on earth you think Indiana Jones has a bigger shot to win than those games, let’s just start there…

 

[TintoConCasera]

Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Wukong, Astro Bot, and FF VII Rebirth have the best chances. Wukong is likely a very distant third though.

imo GOTY is more about popularity than quality, so my bet is on Astro since that game seems to have both things.

 

[damidu]

Indiana Jones is really their only shot

75-80 is their only shot with that, game looks janky and already dated

 

[jm89]

For 2024 there isn't anything else left for MS.

Hellblade 2.... yeah can't see it being even nominated

Indiane jones won't make the elgibilty period for the game awards and for other goty wards i think the best it will get is nominated as machinegames make decent games.

 

[diffusionx]

Maybe Indiana Jones is fantastic. It doesn't look it, but maybe it is. I think that's their only chance.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Because COD will completely destroy everything on that list revenue wise?

For the VGAs perhaps, but that's not the only ones giving out awards. Hundreds every year.

 

[LoveCake]

Indy is all they have really.

Nintendooooooooooooo bichesssss

 

[AJUMP23]

NCAA Football.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Well considering they are only releasing one real game the rest of the year, the only option is Indiana Jones.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Possibly STALKER 2, though realistically that game is probably gonna divide critics because it's hard/complicated/different.

Indy has a shot of entering the GOTY conversation as well, especially in a slow year like this, but I wouldn't necessarily count on it either.

 

[Mr Hyde]

FF7 Rebirth is my GOTY this year. I think I'll manage to beat Stellar Blade and Astro Bot before the end of the year. I'll check out Hellblade 2 as well on GP. It's a short run so should be able to squeeze it in.

 

[Spitfire098]

[Muffdraul]

The what platform???

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Against Shadow of Erdtree? I doubt that.

Erdtree is a lock for expansion.

 

[Camreezie]

Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth is probably their best shot

 

[mayham2199]

Agreed. I don't think it looks that good but I could be wrong. If that doesn't do it they wont win GOTY at all.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Technically, every game is an Xbox game.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I think xbox would be happy just to be nominated for something.

edit-I remember Psychonauts 2 won something.

 

[mayham2199]

Jesus I forgot all about this series. I just don't have time for all this games. I still need to play the man from nowhere.

 

[Nydius]

Indiana Jones is really their only shot

Will it even be out in time to make the GOTY nominations?
IIRC, the game comes out two days before The Game Awards airs.
Or will Geoff bend over backwards to make an exception so Microsoft can get a pity nomination?

Edit: Nevermind, saw this discussion happen above.

I got about 2-3hrs into Hellblade 2 before I stopped.

It's one of the most annoying expierences of my life.

The voices, oh God, the voices. Shit gives me PTSD.

 

[newtypepilot]

Starfield will win GOTY in the first annual Montgomery Burns Bethesda Award For Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Excellence

You’re an absolute treasure, Miku

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I hope Xbox doesn't win anything.

should I remind all of you what happened to the last Xbox studio that won awards?

 

[XXL]

Possibly STALKER 2, though realistically that game is probably gonna divide critics because it's hard/complicated/different.

Stalker 2 has a way better chance than Indiana Jones. It actually looks pretty good.

 

[DForce]

Someone get this man some help.

 

[jm89]

Yeah cause "they" were also in sonys pockets with concord.

 

[Crayon]

Get him a ban lift! I will help him.

 

[RoboFu]

Hey the media tried hard to make concord a thing.

 

[Roberts]

Hellblade 2 is the best game you played this year.

Why not? Because you get to do less than in many games doesn’t mean it can’t be a memorable experience. It is most def in my top5 so far.

 

[Camreezie]

Jesus I forgot all about this series. I just don't have time for all this games. I still need to play the man from nowhere.

I liked it, its much shorter than the usual Yakuza games if that helps.I'd defo reccomend playing the man who erased his name
