GoTY contenter? Thoughts

[[Heretic]Rivga]

What do people think looking at the games due to release this year does KCD2 get into the mix of game of the year? Who are the hot competitors that could make it difficult.

This game was not on my radar until a month ago, even though I enjoyed the first game.
But all the YouTube previews has people absolutely gushing about the game.

They mostly say it is niche though.

I doubt it. More mainstream or console centric games will win that.

It might win best action adventure of the year (modernist mainstream will call that RPG) or best story

Emilia Perez is winning an Oscar , nowadays everything is possible

Let's have this conversation after we've played all the contenders..

Lol, it's hard when you have big games like GTA 6, Doom The Dark Ages, Monster Hunter Wilds, Elden Ring Nightreign and Death Stranding 2. KCD 2 is just mid compared to them

Pfffft, GTA 6 by a damn landslide. MHW is probably slightly ahead. I dont know how people forget and underestimate GTA 6.

Fair play, I am not a fan of GTA games but even I can objectively see they are amazing.

Same, not a massive fan but it does what it does very well and a large player base might see this one as game of the decade lol.

I can see it winning GOTY or best RPG One those for sure,
Maybe best Score and music . KCD had some very nice music and sound design.

This game'll get rdr2 treatment as something not many people'll able to enjoy. With the combat mechanic and all that jazz of the heavily historical influence background.

[Sibelius]

Now that it has made itself inclusive enough to be eligible for awards from journalists, in the words of Kevin Garnett, anything is possible......

Maybe they can go for the games for impact award.

Gay of the Year?

[JetJaguar]

It's hard for any game to compete with GTA but RPG of the year at the game awards could be pretty realistic.

[LeftPaw]

What I am seeing and hearing it's a near sure bet for GOTY.
These mechanics they are using to create a living breathing world are going to attract even those who are not really into medieval games. Just as BG3 pulled in people who were not fans of TBC.

No
The main difference is that the other games are console centric and mainstream.

I have no interest in any of the above, but avarage Joe and Judy have

RDR2 is a mainstream console action adventure... it is very casual and not very historical overall outside its setting.. it is not comparable with this game
