I just don’t want Elden Ring to win. It doesn’t seem fair since this is a first time a DLC was nominated and Elden Ring won GOTY the last time.

 

[Madflavor]

I'm in the minority in thinking that I don't mind a DLC being nominated for GOTY. Phantom Liberty and Shadow of the Erdtree is some the best shit I've played these past couple of years. However if we're going to talk "snubs", it definitely is fucked up that Shadow of the Erdtree is up there, and not Silent Hill 2. That spot absolutely was SH2's, and I won't hear otherwise.

 

[Thief1987]

It wasn't snubbed. It just wasn't good.

Wukong and 6/10 dlc aren't good either

 

[Loomy]

Why are we falling for and spreading rage bait? lol

 

[dottme]

I was thinking they were giving up their bullshit about Veilguard. But I was wrong.

 

[Radical_3d]

The bigger news story for me is that Polygon is still around.

 

[Jesb]

Biggest snub is dlc taking the spot of another deserving game.

 

[Raven117]

It’s been a weak year, that’s for sure.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Helldivers 2 was a major snub.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

please tell me this is not real

 

[SlicedBread3]

Helldivers 2 is the legitimate GotY.

The Game Awards are not relevant after I have ruled.

Still feeling confident about your prediction?

Are you a dad? Dads tend to prefer GOW 2018 over RDR2. It's the best Greek God Daddy simulator on the market.

Im a dad and gow 2018 pales in comparison with the predecessors ... its an ok to good game.

Yeah. They're already opening up the award to "ongoing games" which is how we slide into GAAS titles winning the awards.

I also assumed the first few years would still lean SP as we transition into the new era. What a great thread. What a mind for the medium.

 

[bender]

What a medium mind.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I told yall we won a rare incel victory with those nominations! All yall wanted to do was bitch about Erdtree, but we fucking won my guys.

I realize you are right. Much better to see Erdree than see this twisted woke agenda infested game get that nomination.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

It should be in place of Wukong.

After seeing the triggeredness to this post let me explain what I meant.

It scored better than Wukong which got nominated.

I don't give two shits about this woke crap but Wukong shouldn't be nominated either.

 

[rabbity-thing]

I played it, finished it, and felt dumbfounded why it got 10/10 in the first place.

All reviews are subjective.

Look, to me, Half Life 2 and Breath of the Wild are both solid 7 out of 10's. I'm dumbfounded by the adoration those titles get. But them's the ropes.

 

[AJUMP23]

DEIgon age was not a snub it didn’t earn it.

 

[ZehDon]

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Looks like the wokest games of 2024 rightfully missed out

I know reviews can be subjective, and I can believe some may think Half Life 2 could be a 7 (it was a stuttering mess at launch).

But come on..

 

[analog_future]

I'm loving Veilguard. It's not my Game of the Year but it's a great game.

And for what it's worth I'm about 25 hours in and have yet to come across a single piece of dialogue that would be reasonably be considered woke. I'm not saying there's nothing in the game like that, but it's not anywhere near as pervasive as many people tried to suggest. I don't give a shit anyway but I found this interesting after all the hubbub about it.

Now that the dust has settled, we can definitively say this is the wall of clown publications. IGN and Eurogamer have no credibility.

I think it's funny that IGN is basically at the same level as some place called 'But Why Tho?'.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Don't care much for the GOTY but this is one of the few things they done right cause Transguard Pronoun Age is absolutely shit and disgusting and don't deserve to be successful and thankfully it's not with it having bad sales and very bad reception.

 

[hemo memo]

Let me try.

 

[Laptop1991]

I'm sure all the controversy around Dragon Age the Veilguard has nothing to do with it being ignored lol.

 

[Moonjt9]

They just can't help themselves, can they?

 

[hemo memo]

I just don’t want Elden Ring to win. It doesn’t seem fair since this is a first time a DLC was nominated and Elden Ring won GOTY the last time.

Downloadable content, by definition, is additional content for an existing game. So nominating it as a standalone game is ridiculous to begin with.

 

[Peroroncino]

 

[Darkness_Arises]

This is a surprise; as a narrative-led blockbuster in a famous series with slick production values, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is exactly the kind of game that tends to do well at The Game Awards. Its predecessor, Dragon Age: Inquisition, won Game of the Year in TGA’s inaugural year, 2014.

This was the absolute wrong choice for GoTY 2014. I have fallen asleep playing only 2 games and those are Diablo IV and Inquisition. I haven't played a game as boring and disengaging as these 2 ARPGs.

 

[Braag]

Game Awards is already on shaky ground. Giving awards or even nominations to a game like DA Veilguard which is one of the least liked BioWare games would have ruined their credibility completely.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Helldivers 2 was a major snub.

Fucking preach, brother!

 

[ap_puff]

Wukong and 6/10 dlc aren't good either

I think Wukong got in based on sales and market impact in China more than anything... it is a pretty game but like maybe an 8-8.5/10. I think the best parts of the game aren't the game itself but the cutscenes and vignettes between each act

 

[VolticArchangel]

Who's that actress? I'm researching thermonuclear astrophysics so that I can jizzz...I mean...so that I can jazz up everyone's hopes for the future of humanity, and the presence of her content would really help.

 

[kyussman]

Better get used to woke nonsense getting snubbed everywhere......normal people are beyond tired of this bullshit.

 

[Kotaro]

It's not even nominated for Best RPG award

 

[GymWolf]

If there is a game that was snubbed, that is hd2 or sh2 remake.

 

[YuLY]

It should be in place of Wukong.

If theres one game that should be there for the goty nomination and it isnt, thats Space Marine 2.

 

[mdkirby]

Remember, Polygon gave a walking simulator Gone Home a 10/10.

I love a walking sim, and have played most, somehow I never got around to gone home. It does however highlight for me that just a generic 1-10 grading system isn’t really a great metric for games. Ie “this 7 hour walking sim is as good as Elden ring”. Like it’s objectively 100% not true. BUT it could be top notch for its genre. Likewise you could make the best match 3 game ever; but it’s not on a like for like comparison as good a game as the Witcher 3.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Helldivers 2 is the legitimate GotY.

The Game Awards are not relevant after I have ruled.

Not with their broken crossplay/ friend request system.

 

[mèx]

Polygon is smoking.

This is the real snub, it didn't get a single nomination across all categories:

Not even an OT on NeoGaf, smh.

definitely gonna play this once I'm done with STALKER, it should be out by then on ps5

 

[TheStam]

It's not the TGA without someone somewhere being upset that something is being snubbed.

Let's ask the 1000xResist fans what it really feels like to feel snubbed.

Didn't even think of that, probably my GOTY ahead of LAD: Infinite Wealth

 

[lh032]

Remember, Polygon gave a walking simulator Gone Home a 10/10.

I actually think the game design was smart, one of the most interesting game I played .

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

SM2 should be over both but Wukong is critically less of a GOTY contender was my point.
