Fallout 4 GOTY Edition?

[A Drunk Ninja]

All I want to know is if anyone has seen or heard anything about when Bethesda plans to make and release a GOTY Edition of Fallout 4 with all the DLC?

If they can't call it a GOTY Edition, they'll call it something else, like how Skyrim didn't have a GOTY version but instead a "Legendary" edition. And I think they DID win some GOTY awards for Skyrim.

They actually did win two GOTY awards.

Links? Was it anyone worthy?

I cant wait for the next DLC.

Yeah but i wouldnt want Fallout 4 to brandish a label like that when they failed in earning it.

They did in fact win multiple goty awards

So they earn the "honour" which at this point means nothing because they 5792 diffrent game of the years.

Just scroll down to the accolades section

Who's GOTY list was it on?

It was on may lists, it won the DICE game of the year, and British game awards as game of the year as I recall.

DICE? Got anything better?
British Game awards? Not relevant to me.

Im kinda used to real GOTY winners to be widely accepted across many outlets, most of which I have read or am familiar with.

But times change, the bar lowers a lot.

[Von Faustien]

Goty has never been a high bar and there is no video game equivalent of the oscars and no universally recognized gameing board.

As other people have posted, GOTY is just a name for a deluxe ediition, packaged with the final patches and all the DLC included. Stop worrying about what awards it got and just answer the damn question. I always wait for the deluxe editions of Bethesda stuff because I could care less about playing something right when it comes out. It's almost as bad as pre-ordering.

Game of the year is a worthless accolade. Nothing but another stamp to put on your box, and when there's 500,000 of them, even trash like Witcher 3 will run out of space for them.

Unlike Films, gaming does not have a consolidated award procedure, though the VGAs are certainly trying for that, they're going to have to drop the Dew&Doritos feel to ever be taken seriously.

DICE and BAFTA are more in line with what people would consider "Proper" awards, but still equally worthless, or perhaps even more worthless than the VGAs.

Probably have a "Fallout 4 Complete Edition" or something.

Erm, I think the original question here was:
"All I want to know is if anyone has seen or heard anything about when Bethesda plans to make and release a GOTY Edition of Fallout 4 with all the DLC?"
And I believe we all know what is meant by this, be it "GOTY", "Gold", "Complete", "Ultimate" or whatever wording, don't we?

In short, the answer to this is: As of now Bethesda has not announced any such edition.
(Although I am conviced they will sometime soon. ;-)

Funny that you said DICE as one of the "Proper" awards since they did in fact name Fallout 4 game of the year. http://www.polygon.com/2016/2/19/11057096/dice-award-winners-announced

Also, what you posted has absolutely nothing to do with why this thread was started.

Got the perfect name for it :
Fall Out 4 - Scavenged Edition

Originally, Game of the Year as a PR strategy when consoles didn't has the hardware required to allow additional content to be installed and read during gametime. In case some haven't lived through it, whenever there was some kind of "expansion" on console, most of the time, you had to swamp disk between the original game and its expansion now and then (Anyone remember Samurai Warrior on PS2 with its expansion? Haha...he!) This is where Game of the Year came as 1 stone hit 2 birds.
• First, it allowed consoles players to access the expansions that were "added" within the original game onto as less disks as possible.
• Second, it was a good PR thing to attact consoles players to buy the game since "Game of the Year" was kinda easily pushing the buyers (especially the parents) at thinking it's a good game regardless of who the player is.

When the PS3 and XBox 360 came around, the GotY edition had kind of an halt for some time as the 2 consoles were allowing expansion to be installed onto the HDD of the console... that is until people started to complain about how games were taking 1/4 of their HDD because of all the installation, expansion and patches. This is when, again, GotY edition came back and, again, hitting 2 birds with one stone.
• By having the expansion physically installed into the game disk, only the patches and a base installation were to be left remaining, leaving more space on the HDD for the player.
• For new players, having the option in buying a new game A for 50$-60$ (depending on the time), or buying a game for 30$, but knowing they will have to push forward an additional 20$-30$ to get the additional content (on top of downloading that data + the previously mentioned point about HDD)... that was makind it hard for game with DLC/expansion to be sold for a prolonged period of time. Hence why a Goty that is sold for 40$-50$ (instead of 30$+expansion costs) was actually raising the popularity and amount of sale of a game.

So, to answer the OP question as "When will Fall Out 4 have its GotY or whatever complete edition available"?
Officially, there's no answer, but it will be released when either one or both of those points have been reached :
• All content has been released.
• The sales of the game + DLC have be reduced below a certain bar for some time.
(It's called "Giving a second breath" in PR terms.)

Back when there was a physical media (disk or cartridge or whatever) there would have been a third point possible which was "When the inventory was close to emptied.", but that's not really possible in the digital release age of today's.

Fallout 4 was awarded Game of the Year from both D.I.C.E. Awards and the British Academy Games Awards.

Sounds like casual awards.
