dude it's gonna be BotW

>>378539581
Botw chances are as slim as GR2s. Both are near 0.

Every video game outlet is going to give it to Breath of the Wild, no other game even has a chance due to the hype that game carries.

GOTY awards are garbage anyways, BotW is overrated just like most games that come out these days.

Worst game of the year of all time? My pick is either Witcher 3 or MGS4. Maybe Fallout 4 but atleast I finished that one.

>>378539853
lol

>>378540275
Almost every single game that comes out comes to mind.

Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock Infinite are probably my picks for that though, both games are utterly fucking atrocious, it actually made me physically ill attempting to play them.

>>378540502
You may be joking about being physically ill, but I honestly got motion sickness from playing Dishonored. I'm sure it's a great game but I cannot play it, I don't know why that is and don't know of anyone else experiences that in video games.

>>378539048
>tumblr

fuck it. nier automata.

Yakuza 0 for me. No other game has that charm this year. I'm starting to get into the other games and wished I started playing this series sooner

>>378539048
Why even show that game when we all know that it will be BotW
My personal choice is NieR but lets all be real here. It will be BotW

>>378540883
In the case of ME2 the game is so fucking atrocious and such an insult to the first game that I get a little sick thinking about it.

Horizon: Zero Dawn obviously. One of the greatest stories of our generation to be honest.

>>378541209
Horizon is actually a great game and some aspects of the story/setting are interesting, but the combat is just bad.

Having no invincibility frames on the roll makes it almost unplayable.

Is GT2 significantly better than the first one? I bought Remaster in the last Golden Week and I was so disappointed with it. The combat was very boring with no depth. Just smash square and occasionally do the special abilities to wipe almost every enemy on screen. Didnt like the aesthetics too. It looked like pic related for the majority of the time I played it. It was either all red or green.

Exploration was weak too. You have this massive world and you can go anywhere but the only things to find are gems to upgrade your abilities so you can get more gems faster. Only things I enjoyed were the story, characters and challenges.

>>378541492

Well I'm gonna put my bets on PUBG (tm) then. It and zelda are undeniably the most popular things released this year, and I can't see anything else getting close.

>>378541495
Gravity Rush 2. Is incredibly boring and easy and only waifu faggots will tell you its good. Dont listen to them.

>>378541847

>>378541469
For me, the best parts of the game were the verticality and gameplay. The level design of the second gravity rush has the original area from the first game, plus another area about triple the size, vertically about 5 times the size with the exception of the world pillar.
The story is okay, bad if you don't do the "After the Credits" sequence which adds about 4-5 more hours to the game and despite a shitty cliffhanger, is genuinely better than the base story.
For me a big sell was the art design, very rarely was it red or green like your pic, instead it was like pic related for the majority of the time. The characters are pretty well developed but static throughout the game.
Conversely, The gameplay is a lot more dynamic with the new gravity styles, switching between them in combat makes combat a lot more satisfying and there's a higher skill ceiling. That being said, the combat still has some to be desired.
Overall I would consider it Gravity Rush 1 with an expansion that adds about 3 times more content than the base game, more dynamic combat, and much more gorgeous looking game. And again I love the verticality of it much more than the first.

>>378541930
Much better.

Objectively game of the year is Nier:Automata.

>>378542390
Try something harder than Normal please.

>>378542449
How

>>378542193
Yes. Tarofags are notoriously autistic and the combat in his games are regarded as either meh or shit. When it came out most people thought it was alright and called it a 7.5 but now there are people overrating and underrating the games for replies

Are we talking about the awards? Cause you shouldn't give a shit about them after fucking MGSV won best OST

Breath of the wild really

P5 was pretty good, but it felt really really draggy towards the end, and reminded me too much of P4

>>378542193
If you take out the waifus in Nier you still have a great game with great combat system. If you take out the Waifus in Gravity Rush nobody would play it.

>>378539048
BotW so far, having played all relevant games.

>>378541009
I disagree

>>378541495
>>378542193
There are demos for both games so try those

>>378542545
Yeah, GOTY awards are retarded, but it's interesting to see what everyone's personal picks are.

>>378541705
Original Sin 2 isn't out yet, that's literally the only thing the West has to offer.

>>378542595
Speak for yourself. The characters in GR are great and not because they're waifu bait, which they're barely to begin with

>>378541413
I thought there were iframes and I was just a shit. There definitely are when you're dodging projectiles, most notably the ravager's laser attack.

>>378541493
It used to be an arma mod,.much like DayZ and made by the same guy. Expect support to be dropped within the year.

GR2 is my GOTY so far. I didn't like NieR's open world, quest based design. I didn't like BotW's combat, open world, or Shine/Tower design. And I'm too scared to keep playing RE7.

Not him but probably in story? But most people on /v/ would say gameplay is what makes a game. Personally I enjoy games that are story based and gameplay based, and I found GR2's story to be good enough to care about it. I also platinumed it so I really enjoyed it.

>>378543456

They can't help but treat everything like a checklist, it's what modern gaming has trained them to do.
The whole point of putting in so many Korok seeds was so that you could reach the practical goal without going on a ridiculous collectathon for all of them. Probably the first time I've seen a game actively discourage collecting.

Those aren't checks, that's google literally asking you where the clothes are to improve their image recognition software. Just click any box and click go and it'll probably pass.

And if you're clicking traffic or signs you can pick either or and it'll pass. If it wants signs you tell them those cars are signs and it'll agree.

You have to assume that MS has some launch titles planned for Scorpio, there's obviously no guarantee that they'll be any good but you have to keep in mind the potential.
Sony blew their load already in the first half of this year, so I'll agree that they probably have nothing.

I agree if you put RE7 over P5

>>378541009
Definitely, however there isn't a chance in hell that Nier Automata is going to win GOTY; we all know that the various video game "news" websites are all colluding together thanks to GG, and Nier doesn't fit their definition of a game worthy of winning GOTY

They're going to pick something bland, but more accessible; like BotW

You must have some esoteric tastes; It's got quality combat designed by Platinum, an amazing OST, an amazing story that uses fantastic characters that you grow more and more attached to throughout multiple playthroughs, and plenty of additional content on the side to give you hours and hours of cool shit to do and explore

I don't know the justification for P5 being in goty running. It's a generic JRPG, even if it is executed well.
Automata has a lot going for it. If the combat was a little more complex I feel like people would give it more of a chance, but if you haven't at least gotten to Route C you should do that.

>>378549612
>It's a generic JRPG
I can't think of any other JRPGs that combine social sim with dungeon crawling, so it's actually the polar opposite of generic.

>>378549612
Persona is great because it gives you everything you expected.
Nier is a 2deep4u dodge spam hacking movie.

For me until now it's botw.
It may be a bland open world, but it's the best open world game I have seen so far, except NV.

I hope it's going to be botw because the autism here would implode.

Did you miss the two previous games?
>>378549901

I barely hacked as 9S it isn't as forced as everyone seems to say. Every action game is filled with dodging attacks

It does matter if you like it or not, BotW is going to win almost all the GotY awards. Critics still like it too mach for that to change.

To be fair while that can get the job done you were more meant to experiment with different weapons and combos instead of just using your sword to beat people down without anything else
Combinations like fist weapons + large sword especially were very sastisfying to play with
As long as you experimented with weapons, plug in chips, and the different pod programs the combat is fun and feels fluid

>>378551314

I'm gonna say a loose sort of RPG with heavy FPS elements, in that while you can almost ALWAYS engage in combat, or sneak, or whatever, how you do so is going to vary vastly depending on your build... which, admittedly, might become a bit homogenous by late game. I'm running around slinging mind-attacks and obliterating everything like it's a regular old shooter, somebody with a different optimization might choose to lurk around, use turrets and robots to their favor via hacking, etc.

Persona will satisfy anybody who's put up with the hundreds of other animu FF1 clones out there, even moreso now that there's more social-communication (and dating) than ever. Same goes for nu-Fire Emblem.

Nier appears to be liked moreso for its potential and concepts under the hood than the sum of it all, 2B-lewds aside.

Either way, Zelda has had reviewers in its pockets declaring it GOTY as the year had just started, so take a guess who'll win.

What? combat isn't even on ps2 standards of complexity. It's an RPG with half assed DMC combat and infinite dodges.

Yeah ost is top tier can't really say much about that.

>amazing story
Can you millennials describe anything without using the word "amazing"? it's so overused, it hardly means anything nowadays. Were you really amazed? by what exactly? there's notthing "amazing" about it.

>fantastic characters
Character design is very enjoyable, huge eye candy, but it does feel extremely sexually pandered to horny teenagers. But other than 9s every character was this tryhard serious cliche, hur this is the mission, mission must be completed at all costs, fuck the robot masters!, for the glory of humankind! niichan why u die? bohooo, look at me I'm a giant ball head with a huge smile!

>replayability
You see multiple playthroughs, all I see is recycled content. Like there's what, 10 different enemies in the whole game? the areas are actually moderately small, they make you walk from one point to another back and forth several times just to prolong the experience.

They just mashed some light action combat and extremely low tier shooter segments into an rpg. I'm sad to admit, as much as I fapped to 2b and the commander, I don't think it's more than a 7/10, an alright experience, but extremely overrated by people that probably don't know better.

Too many great games came out this year for their to be a clear concensus here. Zelda will likely win GOTY from most publications though, just based on reviews, sales numbers, and the franchise's legacy.

IMO it's Nier > Persona > RE7 > GR2 so far.

I didn't play enough of Zelda or Nioh to properly rank them and I haven't played Horizon or Yakuza at all yet.

Guys rate what just arrived. I fell in love with this game. Atmosphere, fun gameplay, soundtrack. GOTY for me.

>>378565815
I'll give you the ost, but besides that and a few other things it's an upgrade

>>378565503
It's a good game but it has some major flaws. The playable cast is relatively weak, half of the dungeons are terrible, the story is poor, the game railroads you constantly, and it's far too easy. Also Mementos is garbage.

>>378565613
Better mission design, mainly. A good 75% of 2's missions are terrible. Considering missions are the majority of the game it's a significant issue. Targeting is more wonky too, and the story is crap. 2 definitely plays better but the game built around the gameplay is inferior.

>>378565927
7/10. Most memers on /v/ think that's shit but on an actual 1-10 scale but 7 is a pretty good score

>>378566052
>half of the dungeons are terrible
Mementos, Space Ship and Cruise Ship do not constitute half of the palace. Not all of them are as good as the Castle or Casino but the rest are inoffensive at worst.

>>378541239
You really don't understand how popular that game is with the normies. I have no doubt in my head this it will win by a mile. Normies don't care about things like fps or what the resolution is. They only care about how the game plays for some fucking reason.

Not with that camera.

>>378566052
>a good 75% of 2s missions are terrible
They're not that bad. I wouldn't say they're entirely weak except the admittedly many stealth sections
I don't see how targeting is worse than the original. I never took the story in either game too seriously, they're just set up for fun scenes, bosses and character interactions

Castle is actually the hardest since you don't have many Personas and have no Confidant bonuses, it's the only dungeon in the game that actually stresses resource management like a proper dungeon crawler should.

Not when the game forces you to do it over multiple days and gifts you full SP each time. Not to mention all of the enemies are made of tissue paper. It's the easiest palace by far.

Since when the fuck do popular reviewers give a fuck about resolution and FPS? Zelda could be 4:3 and 10fps and they'd still give it GOTY

Randy Pitchford please go back to castle fedoraburg with your fat wife and weird ass kid.

He is just edgy, do not talk to him, you get cuts

Prey easily, although Zelda or Horizon will win.

Objectively wrong.
Once you max Death and Strength the game's difficulty is nonexistent.

bloodborne was goty 2015

The more I think about it the more you may be right, at least from an objective standpoint. I found it to be the easiest but the game definitely places more limitations on in the Castle. Still the worst palace though.

If Red Dead Redemption can beat out Nier despite it having practically no ost beyond that song that plays when you first enter mexico then I think anything's possible in the world of gaming awards.

God I hope not.
After I played it and came down from hype and all that shit my thoughts on Automata were replaced with questions like "is that it?".
Like yeah, it's great, it's probably GOTY and one of my favorite games in recent years, but precisely that's why I can tell that video games are fucking awful nowadays.
If this is the bar you have to hit in this medium to be the best, then the whole industry is a shitshow.

Shido's was pretty bad senpai.

Which GOTY award do we deem as the definitive one? Doritito Pope's?

>1. Nier: Automata
I don't even need to see the rest of the list. This is correct.

>>378569838
They are all shit

The only other candidate that comes to mind is Bannerlord, and that's only if it is actually released this year.

>>378539853
lmao

>>378539853
I can't wait the thread spamming shitfest when literally any other game takes the GOTY.

>>378539048
Every clip I see of this game is the same damn thing of this girl just falling all over the place.
