If this mere expansion wins 'GOTY'...

[ChickenTacos]

If this mere expansion wins 'Game of the Year', what will your thoughts and reactions be?

Thank you, and try to keep it civil!

i dont care and neither should you

I joked about it winning GotY nearly a year ago. Actually seeing it put up for the award was cathartic. I look forward to the malding and seething that would ensue if it wins.

That's why I'm looking forward to it as well. It's funny how people actually care about the awards, just to have a meltdown over something else winning.

After the announcement, I'll spend a few hours here like this:

And many of the same folks who will go full Chernobyl over said award will have previously decried the awards as "political/fixed/meaningless," unless, of course, their preferred title wins.

They're industry awards; of course they are "political" in the sense of office/industry politics (rather than national/local). They're inherently meaningless because an industry award is just artificial glad-handing that has no bearing on the quality of any game, whether it wins or not.

I feel like this whole process is just the gamer equivalent of music malding for hipsters desperate to burnish their aural cred by announcing they listen to acts that aren't mainstream--because, as we know, nothing is any good if other people like it.

my reaction will be ''well, that's dumb'' then move on

Easy! All you need to know is who the voting jury is. Near a hundred media outlets from all around the world, some of them having absolutely nothing to do with games.

So.....Do you think im going to care about the extremly respectable opinion of some dude from Pride.Com (LOL.....) or Rolling Stone? ♥♥♥♥ that.......I will admit that the jury from outlets outside North America looks way better since they all are real gaming media.

As said countless times during last days i will watch it just for the new games announcements! Im blessed enough to have nearly all the nominees in my library (Indika, Hellblade 2 and Helldivers are nominees and thats ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AWESOME and fair) so i hope some of the indie treasures get "love" and a well deserved public recognition.

If SoTe wins the GOTY I will come to this very forum with two very big buckets of popcorn, because that will utterly melt so many brains that the release of SoTe will seem like a children's farm with a petting zoo in comparison :)

please please please win goty, it would be soo funny

[ɸ It That Dwells ɸ]

Okay.

[Zogtar]

Don't care.

If Wukong is eligible for GotY for hype alone, despite invisible walls and repetitive gameplay loops, worse than DMC 2, than that's a disqualifier for me.
