Support NeoGAF

[ReyBrujo]

I don't really care, but i saw the ridiculous overreactions about Balatro's nomination due to not being in 3D and it was very funny, so there goes my vote.

 

[lh032]

Would there be that much drama?

I finished the game 3 times. I can't ever recall doing this with a game, I never even bother with an NG 99.99% of the time. It was damn good.

Or the drama would be the purple hair weirdos being triggered?

this.

 

[analog_future]

Silent Hill 2

 

[ReyBrujo]

That.

 

[Exede]

When Astrobot wins Nintendo basicly won the Game Awards.
The video comparing Astro to Nintendo IPs is super fun.

 

[Exede]

wukong for the drama.

Wasn't the Wukong drama not just a mistranslation of a person not double checking stuff and then going for a cancel Wukung run?

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Only played two so far.

Astrobot because I liked it.

I think Wukong is great but needs a bit more work post release, but I like it alot.

Looking to play Elden Ring...

 

[Heisenberg007]

There is only one choice here: Astrobot.

People whine and complain about Sony not making kid-friendly games. Then they drop a 94-MC "must-play" 3D platformer that is a genuine competition to Mario games.

If now people don't support it, why would Sony - or anyone else for that matter - make such games? The success of Astrobot could revitalize developers and publishers' interest in games like Banjo Kazooie as well. So it's a win-win for everyone if Astrobot wins.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I'll be happy with anything but Belatro. Not that Belatro isn't great(it is), but it isn't the type of game I think should win this thing. I would have rather seen Silent Hill 2, Unicorn Overlord , Infinite Wealth, Stellar Blade, 9 Sols, or even Sparking Zero in its place in the goty category but I understand. Glad Belatro got recognized but maybe it get recognized a little too heavily for my flavor.

That said, the Veilguard snub when UO didn't get snubbed, that's a win my men. That's a win. Based Geoff struck again.

The most fun I've had this year? Probably Erdtree with my brother. Metaphor isn't a perfect game but at the same time it is, so I voted for that one.

 

[Fess]

Shadow of the Erdtree, it gave me the best gaming experience this year.

But Astro Bot honestly deserves it more since Erdtree is an expansion and those have never been nominated in the past as far as I know.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I don't really care, but i saw the ridiculous overreactions about Balatro's nomination due to not being in 3D and it was very funny, so there goes my vote.

The textbook definition of a contrarian. I love it.

 

[GymWolf]

Any game except remilk part 2 would be ok for me.

Helldivers 2 would be perfect.

 

[Moonjt9]

I really want Astro Bot to win because it really brings the joy back to gaming. It’s wholesome fun. Also, I want it to win as proof that someone other than Nintendo can reach the heights of their best platformers.

 

[Chukhopops]

It won’t happen but Balatro winning would send a positive message to the entire industry. Focus on creativity, originality, games that are smart and rewarding instead of chasing graphics and nostalgia.

But yeah Wukong or ER will win, simple matter of numbers.

 

[nicoGec]

It's not gonna happen because for Doritos Pope and his crew of *professional reviewers* it is"le kiddie gaem" but AstroGOAT totally deserves it

I actually think that Astro Bot is the frontrunner.
Is the most loved game by the reviewers at least.

 

[SHA]

Metaphor's demo has changed my view about this year.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Balatro for the meltdowns.

 

[Celcius]

FF7 Rebirth

 

[Fake]

Astrobot or GTFO.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Anything but FF7 and I’ll be happy.
I’m rooting for Metaphor.

 

[diffusionx]

Astro Bot is a good game that is boosted like 30% because of its fanservice. Not sure it is GOTY.

Balatro is a really stupid game and it does not belong on that list. Erdtree should not win and it's weird they seemingly changed the rules after a DLC that IMO had a better claim was not even nominated last year. Black Myth Wukong is not one of the best games of the year and I want to know how much yuan Keighley got for putting it there. So that leaves FF7R or Metaphor and either is a good choice. But there are better games like UFO50, SH2, and LAD IW not nominated.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I'd like to see Metaphor win, for more recognition, but to be perfectly honest I don't give a single shit about TGA.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Silent Hill 2. The nominees are mid at best.

 

[Robb]

I’d love to see AstroBot take it.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I want Stellar Blade to win, but of the choices, Astro Bot.

 

[Freeman76]

Satisfactory, tired of same old same old these days

Just realised thats up for pc goty, so for this poll Balatro

 

[gtabro]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

 

[Gamer79]

AstroBot easily: It's the Mario Galaxy of playstation!

 

[Chuck Berry]

 

[R6Rider]

Astro Bot for me.

 

[Jinxed]

Astrobot, best game I've played this year

 

[DeepEnigma]

Helldivers 2

 

[Raven117]

Astrobot or Metaphor.

Showing that you don't need zillions of dollars are hundreds of people to make quality games.

 

[SlimySnake]

Anything other than a card game.

I know this wasnt a particularly good year for games but if we let a card game win then we might as well just nuke this entire industry.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Now I'm kind of hoping Balatro wins just to see the meltdowns.

 

[Jesb]

Is it not silly to hold an awards show before major releases have released…. I can easily see Stalker 2 being in the discussion this year.

 

[MudoSkills]

Why are people so mad about Balatro?

 

[Wolfpact1983]

Why are people so mad about Balatro?

Because they work for Seto Kaiba

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Space Marine 2 but since it's not there than Rebirth will be the easy choice. Won't mind if Wukong wins either.

 

[bender]

Why are people so mad about Balatro?

They are just channeling their inner COD bros on Twitter energy.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Astrobot. I genuinely think it’s in the top 5 games a Sony first party has ever made. And I’m a 3D Mario mark.

 

[Banjo64]

I’ve gone for Wukong with Balatro being a close second.

Even though none of these games really scream GOAT tier to me, I wouldn’t have an argument against any of them winning.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

Balatro because it's the best game not just of this year, but of this gen so far. Id prefer not Elden ring, as it's a dlc and not a game, shouldn't even be nominated. I also wouldn't mind Wu Kong. Just for some melt downs from certain type of people in the Internet.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Let me put my mask, oh, I already was wearing it.

first things first:

1. None, I don't care.
2. Elden Ring, after Sony acquires Kadokawa: Meltdowns? Yes. Conspiracy theories? YES.
Geoff waited to nominate a DLC from a company that Sony is going to acquire. WHY? well, we all know why.

 

[Salty Pickle]

Lego horizon.

No in all seriousness I nominate helldivers 2, haven’t had so much fun in a game for a long time. Laughing and having a blast is what matters when you work in finance.

 

[T4keD0wN]

The game that i want to win didnt get nominated, so ill go with the unorthodox choice in Erdtree DLC, just because itd be really funny if Geoff hired the kid from last time to make an appearance.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Metaphor is my game of the year, if it wins TGA it will be only the third time mine and TGA have been the same.

 

[negator2vc]

Balatro if only to show that gameplay is/should be the main focus of a GAME and not the graphics/spectacle.
Also pixelart > AAA graphics .

 

[TheCed]

Astro or Rebirth

But to be fair, I'm fine with all the contenders that aren't DLC this year.

 

[Kotaro]

Astro or Rebirth

But to be fair, I'm fine with all the contenders that aren't DLC this year.

That DLC is bigger and better than most games, if not all, released this year
