Looking more forward to partake in forum threads about it tho.

I’m shocked, that’s actually a halfway decent list of GOTY nominees.
Balatro is fantastic, it says a lot that once it hit mobile and Apple Arcade my entire family got HOOKED on it (and they definitely are not gamers). Hell, my 70 year old dad got so addicted he completed every single challenge run in it lol. It’s more than “just a card game” and absolutely deserves to be nominated.
While I do wish they’d make a separate category for DLCs I don’t mind Shadow of the Erdtree getting nominated because it lapped pretty much everything else released this year. I view it more as a message to devs (especially western ones) that they need to start stepping their shit up than anything else. You can have issues with it being nominated but it’s pretty hard to deny that Shadow of the Erdtree had more content and was higher quality than the vast majority of games released this year.

No Stellar Blade......boys still afraid to admit they like women, and women still afraid to admit they like to look pretty.

Zero interest in the awards; we know the VGAs just a popularity contest and advertising platform, so what worth is their GOTY or any other award for that matter? Good luck to the nominees in any case.
My only interest in the VGAs are the new game reveals and maybe a new console reveal or two. As is probably the case for most folks.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
We all already know Edtree is winning this one.

now that's just showing how everyone is susceptible to negativity trains and memes
It's easy to see who and who hasn't played it in this thread based on replies.
I never said it's bad, it's really good. The idea of some dude in his basement with the most spaghetti code game ever mogging the AAA gaming industry is too funny to pass up though.

Putting a DLC up for GoTY is just wrong no matter how you slice it.

I wasn't pointing towards you. I just liked your idea of meltdowns but at least we get a preview of it in this thread with Stellar Blade getting rightfully snubbed.

It shouldn't even be up there. Why isn't there a "Best DLC" category? Geoff's show has always been a joke but this makes it even more of a joke lol

Kinda surprised that Palworld didn't get nominated at all, considering the game's success throughout 2024. I guess Geoff playing it safe, and not trying to poke the bear, which is Nintendo, lol.
Also, Usada Pekora as best content creator? lol, I really hope that she won the award, because the reactions will going to be priceless.

They should have just pretended it was a new game like Tears of the Kingdom.
Best Role-Playing Game
- Dragon’s Dogma 2
- Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
Well at least Stellar blade got a nomination for best music and best action game. But Stellar blade with its production value and fans, it deserves GOTY nomination 100%

This is the most reductive nonsense i've read on here in a while.
It's like watching 5 minutes of Minecraft footage of someone hitting blocks over and over and concluding "durrrr it's just a fucking block breaking game what else is there??", when that footage says absolutely nothing about the decision making, strategy or goals that are going on behind the scenes.
Card (and board) games are the purest expressions of game mechanics that exist. They live or die by how well they play, not by how flashy they look.
If a basic looking game like Balatro is being considered as a serious GOTY contender over AAA games with years to their name, people should be sitting up and taking note of why that is instead of bitching about it.
Blame Erdtree a DLC. For me replace, Edrtree with Stellar blade and Balatro with SH2.

Look, I loved Shadow of the Erdtree and think it is worthy, but seeing it being nominated and then thinking about how last year Phantom Liberty did not get nominated against the likes of Spider-Man 2 and Resident Evil 4...
Fucking meme awards
Mad about Phantom Liberty as well. But cyberpunk got a win last year so im happy.

Concord bombed so much the US administration just allowed Ukraine to use it against russian forces.
Edit: It's obvious who is going to win. Shadow of the Erdtree.

It felt like a real pity fuck move for EA to give it that nod in a category that has a meaningless criteria and swept under the rug.

I did, and i think Buckshot Roulette is MUCH better, more fun and creative!

Controversy sells it seems, I see more chatter about "The Game Awards"tm this year than in previous years due to the possible inclusion of DLC in every category
Like him or not (I dont), this is clever marketing.
