what do you think will win GOTY 2020?

[Grim Reaper]

so despite my streak of joke threads this one is actually the first serious one i've done in years. anyway as the title says. i've been thinking about this for a while so i decided to ask others on here since there's so many games with the potential to be GOTY this year.

Elden Ring which is another Souls game and From Soft has a streak of making some of the greatest games ever with every installment such as Dark Souls 3, Sekiro or Dark Souls which is my personal favorite game ever.

DOOM Eternal which just looks kickass.

and Cyberpunk 2077 which has been in development for such a long time that the first teaser trailer came out exactly 7 years and 1 month ago. i would probably have to assume this is gonna be GOTY just because of how long its been in development without any development hell as far as i'm aware. but what do you think?

Animal Crossing New Horizons. Next question

I doubt it'll make this year's Game Awards for releasing late, but I'd like to see Halo Infinite win an award.

Hopefully 343 learned their lesson from Halo 5...

Not bloody likely!
Still, one is entitled to hope that it'll be the case. Now if 343 and MS can add H5 to MCC, we'd be laughing.

Most likely what the avarage joe likes, so in my opinion, some silly dumbed down shooter or that new Star Wars game, that is a deevolution of gaming or whoever publisher pays the most to get a mark. I find those awards utterly pointless

Sekiro won last year though

Simplistic console game in my opinion. Again to each his own

well i suppose it is your opinion. but Sekiro is a souls game, which is known as quite the hardcore genre of games. how many journalists ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about Sekiro because it was too hard for them last year? a lot. yet despite that it won, it was really nice to see souls games getting the attention they deserved.

make him play Nioh with all the DLCs and without using the Sloth spell because that's just OP.

I think he has. I’m pretty sure souls like games are just like his favourites.

Wow you sound like such an elitist douche

That is rather rude Madhem. I said "in my opinion" that was also my point. Half of you would find the games I like, stupid, complicated, not fun, etc.. its subjective. I could go on why I think Seiko is simplistic (I have done so many times before, same with DS) they are not hard either as in "good AI" but rather its designed to be "do the sequance right" kinda like games in the erly 80's.

In my opinion "souls" games are console games, I reckon most would agree with that, they are not complicated or have good AI, the hard part is mainly from a design perspective, then add on top awful constrols, restricted freedom and sequence fighting (this is rather normal for many other games as well) Some like that type of repetabale (roll, attack, dodge) gameplay, I don't.

I might add that is funny you talk about game reviewing journalist as the pinnicle of evidence, I mean how many cases of "non gamer" journalist have we seen on those sites? alot. how many took cash from publishers? many, we even have a few scancals! even lawsuits!
Factor in that its often a avarage game (this makes perfectly sense btw) trying those game.. I have seen game journalist rate so of the games I play bad, because they were too hard or complicated to understand.. I have even seen some give a cRPG a bad score, because the story was to braching and too many choices in races.........

Okay so tall us some game you like and why they’re so much better then. I don’t even really like souls games, cuz I’ve barely played them, I just despise elitism as that pretty much ruins creative industries.

Especially the “souls games are console games” part, that just reeks of PC master race ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ elitism

There is no better, my point is that its subjective, its not that hard to understand my reasoning here Madhem. I play alot of different games, sometimes also alot outside my normal field. Lately I have played a few adventure games, the usual GHRTS. I don't claim those to be hard, they have alot of different aspects to sell themselves on, not just "its that supposedly hard game"

If you wanted hard, from the same perspective as you label DS games, then try out Topgun, Battletoads or similar for the older console generations... The thing is, most would then claim "its due to bad design, clunky controls and what so" ... hmm sounds familiar right?
