    The rules and the preferences of the judges or what has not won before makes Game of the Year look kinda like shit. Like indie games and fps games without narrative have no chance?

      I vote for Concord. I didn’t buy it, I didn’t play it. But seeing Sony fail so spectacularly was massively entertaining. GOTY material indeed.

      Out themselves with regards to what? For a game to win GOTY at the Keighleys, the best way to stand a chance is to be a game that the most reviewers played, and they’re all going to cover the next Assassin’s Creed.

    What are people’s thoughts on Wukong? I ended up getting it since the reviews seemed very good and unfortunately I dont think it is a very good game. Looks great, flashy first few chapters, but SUPER klunky. Camera makes elden ring’s seem good, terrain navigation is atrocious, and the story is so disjointed that I quickly lost interest in trying to track it (though as a fromsoft fan I shouldnt really be able to complain about story stuff). I have it at about a 6/10.

    Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Release Date 09/26/2024 This is how I know GOTY is bullshit. Game hasn’t even released and its nominated for GOTY.

      This is just Polygon’s guess of what they think will be nominated - pure crystal ball gazing.

      That said on previous years there has been a few weeks between ballots being due and the cut off for a games release date:

      Ballots were sent out to outlets on Oct. 29, due back on Nov. 6, […]. Outlets also had until Nov. 13 to send in updated versions of those ballots, if changes were necessary. […] To be eligible, the game must be released before Nov. 20 […]
