It's gonna be Horizon
Maaaaaaybe on GAF. And that's a big maybe. But I could see it happening.
It's gonna be Horizon
Nope. Zelda or RDR2.
This doesn't even make sense, that's not how MC works...
I finally finished Persona 4 Golden and had a great time at the start of the year. However I didn't enjoy the grinding and combat much at all. I don't think I have time for another 100+ hour game in my life right now so I am going to wait.
However glad to see its acing it in reviews.

The ordering by grade in review threads needs to stop. It's like the highest grades hold more value than the others. (I would actually remove the grades altogether and let people discuss the actual reviews/impressions).
And on topic, really great seeing this renaissance of Japanese 3rd party games. I lean more towards their game design philosophies, putting style and soul in the front row, instead of obsession for the technical side of things. (I know, why not both, etc, but if I had to choose, give me memorable experiences).

Thanks for the deets! I guess it doesn't hurt that licensing costs and such for UE4 are relatively low, so going in-house isn't really a massive cost savings.

Probably should be at the top of the OT OP and highlighted as much as possible. But I think you're right, it's probably best if the title for the OT was something like:
[OT] Persona 5 OT - 'Witty OT title' (Standalone - playing older games not required)
It's great that we now have a big influx of people that never played Persona before and want to pick up this game, but having to constantly answer the same question over and over again two or three or more times a page will tire us all out eventually. And the more people we can get to pick up the game the better (both for the sake of the series and JRPGs as a whole). Worked for the Yakuza 0 OT.
Nope- Super Mario Odyssey

This will likely grab GotY from a few outlets, but Zelda will still take the majority of wins.
Nope. 1 2 Switch
Well, I said it because only a fraction of those that could be interested in the game will come to the OT and ask about it. Most may think "I have to play 4 games to catch up? Pff, I pass."
Doing something similar to Yakuza 0 or Ys Origins would be cool. By I'm all for a witty OT title too. Hope both fit!
Bloodborne got over 30 GOTYs and it's niche.
Horizon will get at least 30.
That being said, let's not derail the thread and get banned for this lol.

This. It's so obviously a two horse race.
Yeah no.
I think I'm done with Zelda now, and the reviews (even though I didn't enjoy 4G profusely) are really starting to generate some sort of hype for this for me now.
It got 30 GOTY because the people who run the websites that dished it out are likely hardcore gamers, more inclined to play, enjoy and vote for something like Bloodborne as the GOTY. Its Quality did not translate to huge sales though, and still only sells to a niceh in the market, but it's the reason why I can see Persona 5 definitely getting some GOTY nods when the time comes, but I do think Zelda, Horizon and Mario will get the most this year.

No way José. Mario is bigger than Zelda to most people, and this is going to be a triumphant return of sandbox Mario. Mark my words.
Sorry about being off topic.
It's gonna be Horizon
Not even top 5 me thinks
Zelda, RDR, Persona 5 and another 2 games that will be announced at E3

I'd argue a big 3D Zelda is a bigger deal for critics than a big 3D Mario.
But I wouldn't be surprised at all if Odyssey is the better game.

Curious question - can something that sells over 2 million (this was 2015 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4s-bloodborne-sells-2-million/1100-6430572/) be niche? I think it's the 4th highest exclusive in sales.

Zelda has already won unless Rockstar does something incredible.

Damn, I'm jealous dude. I originally had an order with them, but I received a gift voucher that covered the game on amazon, so it's release day for me Hah.

Can someone explain to me why saying "Yu is the best husbando!!" or simply asking "Is P5 going to be released on PC eventually?" isn't tolerated here but saying "Horizon/Zelda/RDR2 GOTY" in a P5 review thread is accepted?
I don't mind either one. But since rules are always evolving here I just want to be sure.

There's been a standing forum policy against port begging for years and years. There isn't a policy against wondering what the game of the year will be. It's close to derailing, but I think it's an organic conversation to have in a thread that involves GOTY-level reviews.

Thanks for the explanation.

At the same, any kind of serious conversation about what will be GOTY, in March, is pretty fucking silly. We've got 9 more months of games coming out people.
It's gonna be Horizon
No way. It'll be on the list, but it's not good enough for the top spot.
It'll almost certainly be Zelda.
You do realise that the new Ghost recon is actually good game, right?
That's what everyone kept saying until they convinced me.
The definition of "niche market" backs that up too.
congrats in advance.
5 hours in and I'm LOVING it.

Do we know when will the Japanese voices dlc will be up ? Thanks
It's a 72% game.
And Nier is a 68% game but you wouldn't know it from the way people talk about it.

Look at that list. Just look at it.
Man, this year has been phenomenal. And we are just getting into second quarter. This is crazy.
Vincent Grayson

According to MC, it's the best-reviewed JRPG ever.
The only RPGs higher than it on MC's all time list are Skyrim and Baldur's Gate 2.

Isn't Zelda a Japanese RPG tho?

Apparently launch date so April 4th is when. Hopefully they do it pretty quick because don't want to be waiting on the Japanese dub to become available.

Maybe? Not really, in the vein of SMT, FF etc. Even Nintendo call it an Adventure game. Genre stuff is always complicated.

OT title should be something simple like "Take Your Time"

No, it really isn't. It has almost nothing in common with JRPGs, outside of being developed in Japan.
