It is a half decent game outside of the bizarre choice to make some awkward trans statement. I don't think it should have made the list though because the choices were mostly meaningless and that caused me not give a fuck half way through the game. With this being a very high production value game, they should have put the effort into making choices matter. Or maybe it was just because it was too fucking long.

I don't feel like i have a strong opinion about any of those games.

Veilgaurd was not what I wanted for DA. I wanted a true RPG like Origins and they just made it an action game.

Batman Arkham Shadow post patch for me. The game was getting 8s and 9s while having pretty significant bugs that were fixed a week after reviews. These bugs were the main complaint.

How Stellar Blade is not here over Veilguard?

Too bad it's an easy win for Nikki. It's in the bag already.

(My vote goes to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth though)

Veilguard. In no way is that goty.

Competently made in terms of graphics and sound. Yes.

Mid tier gameplay. Yes

Shit tier story Filled with political and cultural assholery thats totally out of place. Yes.

IGN just couldn't help themselves though could they.

Slating other potential Game of the Year picks when GAF picked Halo Infinite as GOTY is quite ironic.

I'll delay slating IGN until I see what wins.

Very mediocre year overall, saved by Shadow of the Erdtree (has more content & higher quality than full $70 games) & Astro Bot & Black Myth Wukong, but still mediocre year honestly.

Sorry for being a negative nancy.

They will give Astro Bot, IGN has never given a turnbased GOTY in their whole life, and Rebirth is a remake so less chances
Astro Bot, they love those Nintendo like games with platformers and family friendly visuals, its the easiest prediction to make.

Think we all know that negativity towards Veilguard isn't about the gameplay. It is primarily about the over the top trans messaging that's in the game that has turned a lot of folks against it.

No? Biggest disclaimer that I haven't played the game myself, I only watched SkillUp's almost hour long video on it - and it is allegedly written boring and clean, employs an awkward visual style for character design, and is populated with extremely spongy enemies, and that's why it's bad.

I'm suspecting that other Atlus games will probably be snubbed this year because Metaphor exists and award contests might not want to put multiple games from the same studio up at once. SMTV: Vengeance and Persona 3 Reload are both good games though. P3R might be my game of the year.

Oh yeah. I don't know if it's true or not, but I could totally believe it.

Folks here who played the game talked about the same negatives that is mentioned elsewhere, to be fair. Of course, some enjoyed it quite a bit. Plenty of opinions to go around.

Black Myth Chinese users botted the poll again, so IGN canned it by the looks of it.

  • The Case of the Golden Idol
Such a cool game, it's available on gamepass and although it's not my type of game I finished it and enjoyed it a lot.


Anyway... It's IGN so I won't be surprised if Veilguard ends up winning.

Anyway, my Monk is Chaotic Good and - oh screw it, back to IGN!

Quality comedy right here.
I was about to write something about informed opinions vs biased opinions but it would be a waste of time, wouldn’t it ?

From all the reviews and gameplay Ive seen, it looks like a horrible written action game, not an rpg, your choices barely matter, enemies are horrible sponges, cant control companions, companions cannot die etc..

What is so good about it?

You know what's most interesting, I've read what they wrote several times. I don't see anywhere a mention that the votes of those who voted will be taken into account in any way (So be sure to vote in our polls and make your voice heard.). That is, as I understand it, they still reserve the right to choose the winner for themselves. How to increase website traffic and ad views by simply posting a poll that does not affect the outcome. I applaud standing up. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Both Persona 3 Reload and SMTV Vengeance are re-releases from already existing game, I highly enjoy them but I personally wouldn’t put them as GOTY.

For me personally Unicorn Overlord is my GOTY.

in this day and age where I can watch on the internet videos of people having a miserable experience playing a trash game, there is no way I'd spend my money on trash like Veilguard
