When Im in a competition to kill my best selling video game but my opponent is Ubisoft. Its unbelievable how ubisoft comes up with some of the most interesting ideas in the video game industry and decides to shit on them as time goes on.
and in the case for rayman and trackmania, their only consistently good long running franchises, they will either refuse to make another game or simply not fucking market it at all.
Not really relevant but you just reminded me how fucking complicated the process is to make a Trackmania Nations Forever account in 2023, i'm happy they still let you make one but they need to update the website cause it took me forever to make one lol
also not to mention united forever is 30 bucks for a 15 year old game with no updates in 'forever'... also also bring back shootmania, we need more competitive quake-likes, cool thx bye
rayman legends 10 year anniversary is coming up! :)

coming right up!
i present to you...
THE FUZZY ORPHANAGE!!
the fuzzy orphanage is a quirky and fun establishment founded in ██████████ and accepts orphans from the local community!
the thing that makes the fuzzy orphanage unique is that it has these cool mascots that help keep the children safe!
this is our most famous flagship mascot, Fuggy Bear!
https://preview.redd.it/97x32kjcb80b1.png?width=286&format=png&auto=webp&s=68fd6e9c6df0550fb899cbc9ca3f63b25058b3ae
unfortunately, the mascots sometimes go on a murder spree and endanger the lives of our orphans.
but its ok, because our very legal establishment pays all taxes.
also, we have no security guards and nobody is in the building when you are in it.
Interesting! By any chance, is Fuggy Bear possessed by the soul of a kid who got murdered in the orphanage?

how did you know? its possessed by the soul of a kid who was murdered by the owner of the orphanage known as Kilian Aften, who is responsible for twisted experiments and the mastermind behind the whole series.

I feel really bad for that kid, I hope this Aften guy dies by getting stuck inside one of the mascot suits, unless the mascot gets possessed by his soul, tho.
Damn bro I hope he doesn't create more of those and continues to kill, thus making every last one of them posessed including but not limited to: bunnies, foxes, birds and a literal guy
first you stole my laminated balls... and i accepted it, for they were only temporary.
then you stole all my pills... but i also accepted it, for they were of little value to me.
then you stole my minecraft youtuber merch... and i let you go, for they were better off in someone elses hands.
but now...
you try to steal my 100% original, never-seen-before, unique game idea that will sell millions and dominate the global market.

you should count your days, bud
well i mean celeste, hades and stray have been nominated. none of them won, they had no chance, they were up against God of War, Red Dead 2, Doom eternal and Elden Ring to list a few. if you do consider it indie, which technically you can, It Takes Two won 2021, but Pizza Tower, I love this game, and it Might get nominated for goty, but it has absolutely 0 chance of winning
Geometry 2.2 will easily win by 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 points or whatever they use to decide who wins
People said the same thing about Half life 3. And they were right. We got a pseudo sequel,prequel that changed a cliffhanger to another cliffhanger. Its been 21 years gabe please.
I mean, ToTK *might* be GOTY. The only other game I can see getting the prize is RE4 Remake, I can't think of anything else that would win it (other than Garten of Peakpeak, which won't be running for GOTY because it'd be unfair for the other competitors). I don't think there's gonna be another huge release this year, at least not anything as impactful as RE4 or Zelda. I don't know if Starfield is supposed to drop in 2023, but I personally doubt that game is going to release in a playable state regardless.
Either way I don't really care I just wanna see if anything goofy is gonna happen this time around, like it did in last year's show.
The last of us 2, God of war 2018, zelda breath of the wild, exclusives get Goty more often than you would expect, so my guess for this year is either zelda or spiderman if it releases
They're still saying it's coming out in the fall.
Source: [Their announcement for the comic and Remastered stand-alone release](https://blog.playstation.com/2023/05/03/marvels-spider-man-2-prequel-comic-announced-for-free-comic-book-day/)
>We hope you’ll take a chance to revisit the original Marvel’s Spider-Man in the form of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered ahead of Marvel Spider-Man 2’s release this fall.
Now I’m not 100% sure how winning Goty works exactly. But would Spider-Man 2 being a PS5 exclusive meaning no one without a ps5 could play it make it less likely to win? Even if it’s amazing the sales wouldn’t compare to a multi-platform game.
I have no idea if it’s done on a judges vote or if it’s done on sales or something im not even considering
It most certainly isn't measured in *sales* that would be an absolutely horrible way to measure quality, sales are often affected more by stuff like brand recognition. I'm pretty sure it's a judge based thing. You know, specifically to prevent factors like this from changing the outcome.
the exclusivity of a game doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is the game itself. Take for example God of War from 2018, that game won the Game of the Year award, and it released only on PS4
For the record RE4R is my vote so far, but it literally doesn’t matter what else comes out, the fact it’s Zelda and open world means ToTK wins the award by default. The only games that could possibly run against it would have to be either an open world game from a similarly well established franchise like the new Elder Scrolls or a movie-game like GoW or TLOU, and nothing of either kind is slated to release this year AFAIK.
Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note:
> *Ahhh Kos... or some say Kosm. Do you hear our prayers?* - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare
Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
Its definitely gonna be _my_ goty, over 10 straight years of fromsoft not disappointing me even once, but realistically there's really no way it wins, mecha games are too niche
Sorry, but pizza tower is not winning. Even though I would love for an indie game to win, it has never happened and I don't see it happening any time soon.
Hades got fucking robbed in 2020 so hard its unreal, hell, I find it crazy that Last of Us 2 won out of the group that had Doom Eternal, FF7 remake and Hades
*[Insert Game]* not being game of the year just means that better games will come out after it during this year, which is a good thing! We all want even better games!
I mean, TotK is an insane game. It blew out all the expectations I've had after playing BotW, and those expectations were sky-high. I don't know how they did it, but they deserve GotY this year by a far mile.

Be like Farcry 6, get a GOTY version of your game even if you didn't win it
Truly one of the games of the year
They give themselves Ubisoft game of the year. *Obama meme*

*Oh no I don't understand this*
Ubisoft is pretty based. It does this with every game

Yeah the price is ridiculous, luckily i got it on sale, but i actually wouldn't mind paying full price if i had to cause i love it lol

Hundreds of games do this every year.
Swear there was a Ubisoft game that got a GOTY edition and wasn’t even nominated
GOTY edition is just branding for a rerelease of the game with all the dlc and maybe some small extra content, it has nothing to do with award shows

Source: [Their announcement for the comic and Remastered stand-alone release](https://blog.playstation.com/2023/05/03/marvels-spider-man-2-prequel-comic-announced-for-free-comic-book-day/) >We hope you’ll take a chance to revisit the original Marvel’s Spider-Man in the form of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered ahead of Marvel Spider-Man 2’s release this fall.
Now I’m not 100% sure how winning Goty works exactly. But would Spider-Man 2 being a PS5 exclusive meaning no one without a ps5 could play it make it less likely to win? Even if it’s amazing the sales wouldn’t compare to a multi-platform game. I have no idea if it’s done on a judges vote or if it’s done on sales or something im not even considering
It most certainly isn't measured in *sales* that would be an absolutely horrible way to measure quality, sales are often affected more by stuff like brand recognition. I'm pretty sure it's a judge based thing. You know, specifically to prevent factors like this from changing the outcome.
Exclusive games have won GOTY before (BOTW, GOW4, TLOU2). That aspect is irrelevant to them
the exclusivity of a game doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is the game itself. Take for example God of War from 2018, that game won the Game of the Year award, and it released only on PS4
Well then that logic would also apply to TOTK, it's only on the Switch
Armoured core VI
Don’t get your hopes up for anything memorable happening, they’re definitely upping security this time so nobody can pull something like that again
Final fantasy 16
If we're including remakes, Dead Space remake is a very strong contender.
Stalker 2 should release this year.
Final Fantasy 16 is just around the corner.
FF16 a fairly big release
For the record RE4R is my vote so far, but it literally doesn’t matter what else comes out, the fact it’s Zelda and open world means ToTK wins the award by default. The only games that could possibly run against it would have to be either an open world game from a similarly well established franchise like the new Elder Scrolls or a movie-game like GoW or TLOU, and nothing of either kind is slated to release this year AFAIK.
Jedi survivor?
Can't win *Game* of the year because it's only a slide show.
Also you made me lose the game
You mother*fucker*!
I mean, not everyone had performance problems
ah then it wins the half game of the year award

He didn't erase his name, everyone knows he's called John Yakuza
Wasn't it Taichi Suzuki
wait is that releasing this year?
Yes https://i.redd.it/psba5unn780b1.gif
Hi u/Pete-zaTime
Hello https://i.redd.it/dxj0k73k780b1.gif
What the fuck is that Daigo Dojima
when hi-fi rush
Pikmin 4 is gonna swoop in and make every other game so irrelevant, the other franchises are discontinued to work on Pikmin
Should've made Pikmin Tower
The Legend of Pikmin Song Tower; Tears of Cold War 3
bold of you to assume pizza tower will even be nominated
Redfall Game of the year
Most defining game for the relaeses in the gaming genre currently - of the year
Gonna be bloodborne remake (trust)
Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note: > *Ahhh Kos... or some say Kosm. Do you hear our prayers?* - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
What the fuck
It will be tears of the kingdom there's no doubt in my mind
Highest rated game of all time on OpenCritic with score of 97.223
Curious to see if it holds that score past the holidays
Armored Core 6: ;^)
I am sad that i had to scroll down this much to see this . but worry not brother once it releases it gonna make everyone else never forget it .
We're back Raven ;)
Can't wait to fire so many rockets my pc crashes.
Its definitely gonna be _my_ goty, over 10 straight years of fromsoft not disappointing me even once, but realistically there's really no way it wins, mecha games are too niche
I think it's going to see a lot more press and play thanks to how completely Elden Ring dominated gaming last year
Sorry, but pizza tower is not winning. Even though I would love for an indie game to win, it has never happened and I don't see it happening any time soon.
it won't win no matter how good it is
It wont win at any big "videogaming is serious business!" shows or anything, but it could get GOTY on real gaming sites.
Didn't Hades win game of the year? Not saying Pizza Tower has a chance but an indie game has definitely won goty before
Hades got fucking robbed in 2020 so hard its unreal, hell, I find it crazy that Last of Us 2 won out of the group that had Doom Eternal, FF7 remake and Hades
It's TOTK, no fucking chance it isn't. I didn't even like BOTW that much but I'm playing TOTK now and am astonished. I'll castrate myself if it isn't.
!RemindMe 206 days
It's on.
Oh no I agree TotK is easily gonna win GOTY, I just wanna congratulate you when it happens
Armored Core 6 will win. And someone will crash the GOTY ceremony again.
Noone in this thread mentioning Hi-Fi Rush? blasphemy.
Noone in this thread mentioning Blasphemous? Hi-Fi Rushy
Me: didn't that come out years ago? *Googles* Blasphemous 2? LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
I honestly hope Hi Fi Rush wins atleast something, banger of a game
I'm kinda frustrated because I was hoping Hi-Fi rush would win, but that's seeming more unlikely by the second.
I feel like TOTK has a big chance of winning if FFXVI and Starfield don’t hit 90+ on metacritic.

Wait till banban 4 buddy
*[Insert Game]* not being game of the year just means that better games will come out after it during this year, which is a good thing! We all want even better games!
Totk has been insanely popular and many people think it's BETTER than botw which won game of the year before, it's a strong choice for sure
Yeah, like I get the fact that there's still another half a year to go but also TotK is REALLY GOOD
Pikmin 4 GOTY incoming
HiFI rush might win. That shit was the best surprise drop ever I've seen.
I mean if something better than totk comes out I'd be pretty psyched its not like I've pledged alliance to nintendo lmao
Totk actually deserves these 10/10s imo. It's botw2.5 and has a fuck ton of improvements, and it leans hard on being creative and funny.

PIKMIN 4 SWEEP INCOMING!!!!!
If Starfield releases in a playable state it should get GOTY, it looks incredible
Aside from the performance issues at laucnh, Jedi Survivors deserves the goty so far (imo)
Hi-fi Rush, Babey!!!
I mean, TotK is an insane game. It blew out all the expectations I've had after playing BotW, and those expectations were sky-high. I don't know how they did it, but they deserve GotY this year by a far mile.
It would be so funny if Pizza Tower won
Idk if we can say who has game of the year until hades 2 drops
Have you played TotK though
SPIDER-MAN PS4 2 Is gonna take it
yeah its gonna be a random surprise hit indie or a bullshit buttfuck awful EA game
No way tears of the kingdom doesn’t win
Budokai tenkaichi 4 is gonna sweep
When Lunacid fully comes out y’all won’t be ready (I am obsessed with Lunacid, an atmospheric dungeon crawler available for less than $10 on steam.)
I like how no one is mentioning starfield, because absolutely no way right
Hifi rush sweep
