Support NeoGAF

[Jinzo Prime]

Gaf only cares about Sony vs Microsoft, meanwhile everyone else playing Switch.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Vampire Survivors ftw

 

[The Cockatrice]

Nice to see Tunic getting the love it deserves and did not expect High on Life to be nominated so often. Have yet to play it. Guess Ill move it up my list.

[Punished Miku]

I forgot Elden Ring even had music.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Man y'all only really played like four games this year, hey?

[Palliasso]

I've got to take a break for a bit, but I'll be back soon with the rest of the nominees!

Intermission

 

[Jinzo Prime]

No love for Sonic Frontiers OST? Tomoya Ohtani really outdid himself and not even a nomination?

 

[The_hunter]

Bayonetta 3 and Soul Hackers 2 had the best UI this year.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Would be tough to squeeze Elden Ring and God of War into this category but I'm sure some of you tried.

[Astral Dog]

Best character design is gonna win Bayonetta nothing comes close to her perfection

 

[Palliasso]

Annnd we're back

[mortal]

Elden Ring = Triangle Strategy > Horizon Forbidden West > God of War Ragnarok > The Callisto Protocol

 

[Punished Miku]

The Japanese made games (excluding Elden Ring) were my goats, but something tells me this is going to be about God of War, Elden Ring, and Horizon. Honorable mention goes to TMNT.

Only thing left is the nominees for Game of the Year, coming right up.

[Palliasso]

Hope everyone enjoys the suspense. Join me on Wednesday, where I will reveal the winners of NeoGAF's 2022 Game of the Year awards!

 

[bitbydeath]

Why's Cyberpunk on these?

 

[Sakura]

Why's Cyberpunk on these?

PS5/XSX release was this year maybe? Not sure.

 

[bitbydeath]

PS5/XSX release was this year maybe? Not sure.

I'm surprised that would constitute as new game/vote worthy.

 

[Arachnid]

Preemptive Elden Ring GOTY win celebration post!

GoW?

LOL

I did my part!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Horizon an RPG? And best first hour? The first couple hours are a shitty slog tutorial.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Elden Ring all day long Other games I voted for and want to see win:

Prodeus
GT7
Signalis
God of War
Tactics Ogre

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I like the short list idea.

Also, was refreshing seeing the new additions to categories

 

[DeaconOfTheDank]

Sad not to see Tunic nominated for best OST.

Not only is music god-tier, the developers came up with a way to encode messages in the audio. Be warned of spoilers, but this twitter thread contains a pretty good breakdown:

 

[gow3isben]

Ragnarok finna sweep you heard it here first

 

[Fess]

I guess the big one goes to Elden Ring, for me there is no contest.
But then again GAF can be really strange, Halo Infinite won last year so who knows.

 

[Ovek]

It will be a crime against humanity if fucking FIFA beats Windjammers 2.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Next year GAF introduces the Elden Ring award.

 

[nikos]

So many releases last year and the same five as every other outlet are up for GOTY?

 

[Rentahamster]

I'm voting Vampire Survivors for every category it is in.

 

[IFireflyl]

Glad to see High on Life getting some well deserved love. It's a very fun ride and, while a bit short and with such a rushed ending, it still felt more fresh than anything I've played recently.

Gotta rush that ending when jail time is imminent.

Spoiler

 

[AJUMP23]

If it isn't Elden Ring WE RIOT!

 

[touchfuzzy]

So, the exact same nominees as TGA except dropped the sixth nominee (A Plague Tale at TGA) and swapped Vampire Survivors instead of Stray for the token indie nomination.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

This is awful lol

 

[Drizzlehell]

"If you like this game you're a foot fetishist" nominees...

GAF: "ah fuck it, Elden Ring"

 

[Punished Miku]

This is awful lol

Makes all the hipster award shows look really good right about now.
