I am sure the Elden Ring expansion feels like a game, but it isn't. You can't fire up the expansion without a copy of ER. So how the fuck is that in the GOTY list? Lmfao. It's not like Like a Dragon couldn't have taken that spot?

DLCs aren't usually full game length.

Even so, have a dlc/expansion category, that honestly is way overdue anyway.

‘Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree’ Should Not Win, Or Be Nominated For, GOTY 2024

This year, it was prominently broadcast that DLC and expansions would be eligible for all categories. So the Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, was nominated multiple times.

Any chance that if there's enough of a brouhaha over this that Keighly & Co will pull it and replace it with something else?

Lol @ Microsoft not getting a first party / exclusive game on the most anticipated list. Even Nintendo has one there and they're running on fumes before revealing a new console.

I doubt it. I think Keighley already got paid and spent it all on making sure every gaming company knows he's their best friend

With this kind of logic every ubisoft bloatfest should be a goty contender then.

Eh... Okay okay you're right. Can't really refute this

Best nominee

 

[DeepEnigma]

Imagine unironically writing that article. It even admits in the article it released to mixed reception. How can you call a game that got mixed reception "snubbed" for GAME OF THE YEAR? Fucking amateur hour.

It is definitely Fable for me with Playground Games in charge. I do not know when it will release if at all unfortunately.

I think Playground Games being in charge is what would lead me to having less confidence. Going from making open world racing games to open world RPGs isn't exactly the same skill set -- and I think that's probably part of why it's taking forever.

Did any of AC get popular vote the year they release?

Agree to disagree. They know how to optimize a detailed world and populate it with entertaining interactive elements. They are well versed in character customization and animating movement as well since Forza Horizon 4. Forza Horizon has long been touted as the car RPG.
