Pick you poison Gaf

 

[R6Rider]

I'm guessing FF7 will win it.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

We all know the FS entry will win since they changed the rules to allow it in. This whole industry is corrupt.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Balatro because I don’t know anything about it.

 

[Hrk69]

 

[nial]

 

[lughnasadh123]

My money is on Dark Souls 4.

 

[Draugoth]

Either Metaphor of Shadow of Erdtree

 

[March Climber]

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.

 

[deriks]

I thought that was against the rules a DLC to be candidate for GOTY

 

[yogaflame]

Since no Stellar blade, I will pick FF7 rebirth.

 

[RoboFu]

dragonage

 

[simpatico]

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.

 

[Arsic]

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

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

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I wonder if Hermen Hulst already had an acceptance speech written for Concord.

 

[Zacfoldor]

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.

 

[jm89]

Erdtree unfortunately, some hanky panky went on to get it in there.

 

[Sanepar]

Voted Astro but it will be Elden Ring.

 

[R6Rider]

Erdtree deserves to win by every known measure of video game analysis,

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Picked FF7 Rebirth but wouldn't be surprised if Astrobot takes it

 

[ZehDon]

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.

 

[keefged4]

Horrendous that Silent Hill 2 isn't there. Erdtree by default I guess then.

 

[bender]

I just have a feeling Metaphor is going to win.

 

[Griffon]

I'd vote for wukong just to piss off the wokies.

 

[That Damn Kid]

I think you're missing something

 

[Carmen Winstead]

My money is on Dark Souls 4.5.

FTFY

FromSofties gonna want my head now.

 

[Peroroncino]

It's time for some "Persona" love, so I'm going with Metaphor.

 

[deriks]

It's the chinese monkey, guys

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I think you're missing something

The literal future of PlayStation. Honestly it’s such a cultural phenomenon, I believe someday that all our video games and entertainment will be connected to the Concord transmedia universe.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I can’t find another game where I read all the update notes as soon as they were released.

 

[simpatico]

Which known measure of video game analysis does it not mop the floor with? None. Zero. Cero. Nil. Zilch.

 

[Caffeine]

Its rebirth its not even a contest. Erdtree is simply advertising and just getting a spotlight

 

[Topher]

Seems pretty clear that they made DLC available for every category just for Shadow of the Erdtree.

 

[Loomy]

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.

 

[Mozzarella]

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.

 

[FoxMcChief]

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.

 

[Hrk69]

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.

 

[Yoshichan]

Elden Shit will win

 

[Topher]

Not me. I want Metaphor to win, but I voted for Erdtree.

You voted for Erdtree as well. So what game do you "want" to win?

 

[Hrk69]

Not me. I want Metaphor to win, but I voted for Erdtree.

Metaphor: ReFantazio

But I think Erdtree is going to win this one

 

[xenosys]

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.

 

[hinch7]

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree takes this easily.

 

[Aenima]

All i can say is, thers a reason this is the 1st year they allow DLC to be nominated for GOTY. I think its obvious why.

 

[bender]

Not me. I want Metaphor to win, but I voted for Erdtree.

Way to betray your motherland.

 

[lughnasadh123]

FromSofties gonna want my head now.

 

[Topher]

Hope we are both wrong.

Way to betray your motherland.

My man.....I almost never get these right so I'm doing Metaphor a favor.

 

[XXL]

My heart says Rebirth. My head says Astro Bot.

Yeah, I'm torn.

I honestly don't know what to vote for between them.

I'm replaying Rebirth right now and it's soooo fucking good.

 

[Rentahamster]

I'm inclined to think Elden Ring, because of the recent rules change.

 

[wipeout364]

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.
