>Doesn't deserve it, but Zelda is journo-bait.
Do you mean Zelda doesn't deserve to be journo bait because it's not the same kind of game as the usual AAA journo bait games?
Or that Zelda doesn't deserve the GOTY because it's journo bait?
Because if it's the latter I disagree. Zelda being journo bait has nothing to do with how handholdy AAA games are nowadays, DSP raged just putting metal balls onto a pressure plate.
As soon as you realize that 90% of game """journalists""" are american manchildren that are only nostalgic for the 2-3 nintendo games that they played as little kids and otherwise hate video games, only writing for gaming outlets because they failed at everything else, it should be obvious that nothing other than zelda stands a chance.
Spaidama because journalists love everything sony shits out, Zelda comes second because what this guy said
But i believe that the sony bias is bigger than nitendo.
You need to be absolutely senile to even consider general GOTY is going to anything but Zelda. The only chance for other games like RE4 and Starfield is for platform-specific GOTY's.
Starfiled. Not because it's a good game but because Bethesda fanboys are raging spergs and will hype it up to no ends no matter how bad the actual game is.
either tears of the kingdom or starfield just due to the lack of competition
hogwarts legacy was okay but it came and went super fast
everything else was just meh
i don't think RE4 deserves goty since it's a remake
>https://strawpoll.com/GeZAOmPjJnV >spider man
lol at snoys wanting automatic qualifications of a marvel IP because its le spiderman, totally not an original gaming IP unlike the others on that list, snoys are shameless.
Why are people saying Tears of the Kingdom is journobait? >doesn't hold your hand through 99% of the game >doesn't have many accessibility options >doesn't have dozens of hours of cutscenes >doesn't have explicit LGBT or minority pandering
Journos in the US either violently hate Nintendo or are Nintendo fanboys who only have played Nintendo since they were children and automatically give their games 10/10
It's kinda obvious that TOTK is gonna win even if it doesn't deserve it.
If you ask me my personal goty is fricking Pizza Tower which is really saying something
The people who make these lists don't even play games, I swear. Imagine putting shit like Hogwarts Legacy up there unironically. It's the most mediocre milquetoast open world that ever existed. Jesus Christ. If you're going to nominate some movieslop normiebrand for GOTY do it with Jedi Survivor or Spiderman, they're both far better games.
Probably Zelda since the reaction was similar to BotW when it came out with a slightly lower ceiling overall, Starfield too given 'Skyrim in space' is a solid concept to most. Spidey might come into contention with Journos/the TGA board since it's based on a prestigious non-vidya IP plus the acclaim of the original (dunno about Miles' game).
Beyond that is up in the air if they get filtered by Armored Core, consider RE4 on the level of RE2, if they actually enjoyed Diablo IV beyond its launch window.
Mario Wonder and Hogwarts are absolutely not getting nominated, the former is a basic 2D Mario which isn't 'bold' or 'inspired' to their kind even if the level design is good, and the latter has a massive 'controversy' attached to it despite it being the biggest sleeper hit of the year bar none (financially and good WoM by normalgays), whereas journos are actively against it just to 'show it to the chuds' and prove they're 'not transphobes like she-who-must-not-be-named'; it's got a snowflake's chance in hell.
Forspoken lel
The only other games I could think would be on there are FFXVI if it has the staying power to last a couple more months and the story hits them instead of the game hating the women they defend, Hi-Fi Rush if they based it on not being an 'experience' like everything else and being a basic 2000s vidya, and Pizza Tower as the token indie nominee of the year that seems to stick as well as Cuphead did, for better or worse.
Mario and Spider-Man coming out on the same day is also hilarious and a shitshow I won't miss. R.I.P Sonic lmao
As a Mario-sucking tendie, Wonder doesn't stand a chance in hell of GOTY.
I'm still going to play the frick out of it though.
It is pretty obvious that zelda is getting the goty. I don't know why this is even discussed.
This. Doesn't deserve it, but Zelda is journo-bait.
As of right now RE4 is the best game of the year, but it will not win.
>RE4 is the best game of the year
why when it's inferior to the original?
Contrarian-kun, Oblivion was their last good title even if it had brown and bloom + ugly characters
>crowbcuck troony talking about contrarians
LOL anyone with a working brain will tell you that the remake made the original obsolete
>troony
stop projecting Black person
>dude we need le remake XD
if you can't enjoy the original you're a zoomer with brainrot.
RE4 isn't even the best capcom game of the year

Starfield is going to suck. Bethesda hasn't been good in over a decade now.
>fallgoy 3 shitrim
20 years. Morrowind was their last good title.
>no hi-fi rush
>biased against 16 (could be sour grapes)
>no pizza tower
>no pikmin 4
All fields.
all of those games are trash thoughever
Don't worry, Cyberpunk's DLC will win it
You need to be absolutely senile to even consider general GOTY is going to anything but Zelda. The only chance for other games like RE4 and Starfield is for platform-specific GOTY's.
>no baldur's gate 3
It's afraid.
bearchads know
Clearly is Zelda, is not even a competition, the only one who has a small chance is Starfield, but 99% will lose
yeah, like in 2017, right moron ? Divinity 2 lost against Persona 5 in RPG category, now have a nice day.
Tears of the Kingdom
Starfiled. Not because it's a good game but because Bethesda fanboys are raging spergs and will hype it up to no ends no matter how bad the actual game is.
Gee, I wonder if it's going to be the copypaste of the journo-declared Game of the Decade, TotK, or (other game)
What a puzzling mystery
BALDURS GATE 3
How could anyone vote against Todd?
either tears of the kingdom or starfield just due to the lack of competition
hogwarts legacy was okay but it came and went super fast
everything else was just meh
i don't think RE4 deserves goty since it's a remake
>just due to the lack of competition
2023 is stacked actually.
>Hi Fi Rush
>Sonic Superstars
>TOTK
>Mario Wonder
>Hogwarts Legacy
>Starfield
>Spider-Man 2
>Street Fighter 6
>Final Fantasy 16
>Pikmin 4
>Mortal Kombat 1
>Assassin's Creed Mirage
>Forza 8
>Jedi Survivor
>Wo Long
I fricking forgot Armored Core 6
The real GOTY is Dredge
the people who don't think it's Zelda desperately need to be told they are clinically moronic
>https://strawpoll.com/GeZAOmPjJnV
>spider man
lol at snoys wanting automatic qualifications of a marvel IP because its le spiderman, totally not an original gaming IP unlike the others on that list, snoys are shameless.
>Tendies really believe a glorified 70 dollar DLC is GOTY worthy
LOL
No one except tendies want it to be GOTY but its clear that ToTK copypasted journobait is going to win every award and GOTY
homie thought he could slip a fricking 2D Mario game in as a GOTY contender. LMFAO
Starfield. MS need one to sell gamepass
In what universe would another 2d mario win goty
People want the spiderman and starfield slop.
> starfield slop.
Million gamers bought this game on xgp. It is guaranteed to be successful
>all shit games
lol
>cucksaw man
>calling anything else shit
Why are people saying Tears of the Kingdom is journobait?

It's Zelda, stop being moronic.
Zelda was a very meh and forgettable game.
Alan Wake 2
>Spiderman 2
Genuinely who keeps putting this game into these lists? I don't get it
The people who make these lists don't even play games, I swear. Imagine putting shit like Hogwarts Legacy up there unironically. It's the most mediocre milquetoast open world that ever existed. Jesus Christ. If you're going to nominate some movieslop normiebrand for GOTY do it with Jedi Survivor or Spiderman, they're both far better games.
TotK will obviously win, though I wouldn't like it to at all. Fricking hate nintendies.
Starfield probably won't get the GOTY, but I bet it would get a nomination
Probably Zelda since the reaction was similar to BotW when it came out with a slightly lower ceiling overall, Starfield too given 'Skyrim in space' is a solid concept to most. Spidey might come into contention with Journos/the TGA board since it's based on a prestigious non-vidya IP plus the acclaim of the original (dunno about Miles' game).
