It's just a big advertisement for all these games. Though at least they're finally giving Japanese games some recognition.

>Hollow Knight not even nominated for GotY

good
shit's gay

Only watching to see kyle try to sell me razors

>This shit is already decided, why even make a contest if the winner is already set in stone?
Thisso you better get your tear buckets ready when PUBG wins

Who actually cares about the awards parts of this shit. People only care about the trailers for new games.

BotW actually pushed open worlds forward. Not even my favorite Zelda game, but out of the lineup for this year it absolutely deserves it.

>Caring about this shitty award fiesta

All of those are bought. Do you remember people when DA:Inquisition was the winner of the game of the year award? Are you fucking kidding me?

Lets see Keighley shit on EA like he shat on Konami or if he will be too afraid because EA isnt a japanese company on the other side of the world

Yes, Zelda will win, that's obvious without the looking at the announcement.

>Best esports game
>Overwatch

Oh lord

Will they finally announce their marriage?

You're ignoring too much factors, PUBG is extremely popular and sold what 20 million units this year, Breath of the Wild only sold around 7 million, that game has a strong chance of winning, and then there's Horizon Zero Dawn, people who played Breath of the Wild also more than likely played Super Mario Odyssey, so the vote pool between these are split, so Horizon Zero Dawn could sweep in on Sonyslamists votes who will vote for whatever mistress PS4 tells them to vote for

>best va
>literally none of the nominees are good

The vote is only 10%. The jury accounts for the rest. Hopefully Andrea Renee doesn't fuck things up with her stupid shit arguments.

>PUBG is extremely popular and sold what 20 million units this year
That game has burned a lot of goodwill by not fixing bugs, not releasing meaningful updates and not taking care of cheaters. I think their community might not vote for it.

pubg isn't even officially released yet and it's fucking mess that might as be held together by chiclets. it being nominated at all is a joke

>BoTW nominated for "Best Audio Design"

excuse me?

Geoff is such a pathetic Nintendicksucker, holy shit. I mean if the game was actually that good then everyone would be ok with it. But it's objectively and overrated and overmemed 5/10 shitshow just like his awards show.

The way the game uses music is pretty great. Idk if it deserves to win, but it's pretty good and deserves the nomination.

>BotW actually pushed open worlds forward.

explain or it doesnt

good, but who's Andrea Renee?

That's good, I was aware that it was a shitpile but considering the amount of concurrent players and sales I thought people didn't really mind eating shit.

It's audio design is great, it's soundtrack apart from a few themes most of which didn't actually get in the game aren't.

I really loved BoTW but I just never felt like the audio cues were very well designed, and the music is essentially nonexistant, so I dunno. It's just that I'm reluctant to say it had good audio design on the basis that they've done it better themselves, and if they can do it better, do they deserve the nomination?

PUBG will win
At the end of the day this is just a popularity contest

its soundtrack is great it just doesnt play often enough

It works, but there aren't any songs apart from Kass's theme and the ones from the trailers that I've listened to outside of playing the game.

BotW sold like 5M maybe.

Dragon Age inquisition says no.

But anything anyone says you will just shitpost? How about this: it's fucking fun to explore. Sorry you didn't like it, but the majority of people who did found the exploration extremely fun and rewarding in its own right.

She works for kinda funny and hates Japanese games. Her stance on GOTY invalidates games that focus on gameplay over story and voice acting. So Bloodborne for example and Zelda/Mario can't win in her eyes because they lack a story.

She also has this weird western games agenda. HZD is her GOTY because of the aforementioned factors.

The sound effects are easily some of the best I've ever heard in a video game. It competes with Battlefield 3/4/1 and EA Battlefront games. The Soundtrack is what was a letdown, and that award has a very good chance of going to Super Mario Odyssey.

DAI was the highest profile release of its year (that was an utter shit year)
so yes

I mean, it was competing with DLC ffs

>login with facebook to vote
lmao nice try cia
pls vote nier for everything for me ok

>why even make a contest if the winner is already set in stone
Because it's not a contest. There's no competition. These are commercial products that people sell.

The entire award show is an advertisement for video games. It's purpose is to advertise the games included in the show, to drive up sales for those titles, and indirectly all titles in the games industry.

It didn't do anything that hasn't already been done. You just give it more credit because it's Zelda. It's still a good game though.

what's the point of this shit? Obviously PUBG is going to get the most votes and win because it's the most popular garbage.

6M due to the WiiU version selling 1.3 million.

>Fire Emblem HEROES: Shadows of Valentia
>HEROES
>Heroes image

What the fuck is this?

Shadow of Mordor sold more, Dark Souls 2 sold more, Destiny sold more, Super smash Bros for Switch sold more, Alien Isolation sold more, Wolfensteen the Nu Order sold more, Mario KArt 8 soold more, South Park the Schtick of truth sold more.

It abso-fucking lutley wasn't the highest profile release of it's year, EA were partners for the event and the game pushed it's progressive virtues as part of it's marketing.

>caring about awards
>caring about fucking western awards

End thy life.

>oh look its another shrine/korok seed/tower/enemy stronghold

BotW has ubisoft tier design

>bloodborne lacks a story
excuse me?

western piggu cant into basic research about nip games

How did this dead eyed turbofaggot ever become THE games guy, is it just because he's been around the longest?

Like clockwork.

The shrines are the only semblance of a zelda game botw has. Of course people are gonna seek them out. The strongholds/korok seeds are trash, though.

PUBG will win goty
Zelda will win action adventure
Persona 5 will win rpg
Nier will win music
Cuphead will win action and art direction

Save this

good, stop overrating this game just because its the only half decent metroidvania pcbros will ever get to play

was born with rich parents who funded his career and prominence

Nier automatah

4.7 on Switch and I thought 2 million on WiiU but it's only above 1 so it's around 6 million, at current point, with no holiday season, although I don't expect it to sell much more this holiday season.

>kinda funny

Well she already sounds like a piece of shit, HZD is so shi, it feels just like the Guerrila Games previous IP, the only reason why it gets any discussion is because it's published by Sony, I wouldn't even consider Killzone in the top 10 of PS2 shooters, yet it got 4 sequels while infinitely better shooters died at their first entry.

>Geoff trying to pronounce japanese names

Mario and Zelda sweep

>geoff crediting monster hunter world to marvel

What the fuck is the Hellblade game that keeps being nominated?

For the goty gamer, apparently not.

I want to see the look on Tabata's face when Nier wins best RPG

tameems new game

If MHW doesn't win Most Anticipated Game then I'll make Columbine look like a fucking joke

I will never understand calling nier a rpg

>cuphead is up for best soundtrack
why? they blatantly plagiarized SMW
youtu.be/rBU8wRCnaUM?t=28s

Nier is notimated for like 1 award KEK

>pubg
>goty nominee

>all those VR "games"
what a joke of a product
youtube.com/watch?v=o678wPfMJRA

I don't know about that guy but I enjoyed how the most minor elements of the game worked, like the different rules to the elements, that you can cook meat if you only drop it on the ground around the volcano area, how you actually had to prepare yourself with thicker clothing if you climbed a mountain, how running in sand made you slower, how you could manipulate lighting and electricity with anything metal and it also worked with the magnet, how you could even slowly melt ice just by having a fire rod on your back, how you can build bridges with cut trees, and so much more, all of that shit combined made this game feel much more alive than any other Open world game I played

reminder that only one of these actually has 4 player, the choice is clear

Audio isn't the same as soundtrack you retard

Why are there so many fucking Western games?

reminder that you can vote without facecuck by googling "the game awards voting"

>two major nintendo titles as nominees

how do we stop him Sup Forums?

>A 2016 game nominated multiple times
>An Early Access game also nominated multiple times.
TGAs are thrash.

>voting for a re release in a game of the year competition

rerelease or no, it's the best game in the series
splatoon 2 is basically a rerelease anyway

Not a single Jap game will win. Not even a Nintendo one. You underestimate just how xenophobic the modern vidya industry is.
Screenap this.

Westerners hardly even realize Nintendo games are Japanese, they don't count

fair enough
go enjoy playing it with your family

audio design is basically best sound effects

Persona 5 better win best music or I'm cutting off my nuts

>have to use facebook to vote
fuck off, I don't want anyone seeing that shit

>tfw no friends or family

They aren't even trying.

Because western companies have been the ones bankrolling the advertisers and journalists for the past 15 years. Have you been in a coma since the Dreamcast was still being manufactured?

>what is axiom verge
>what is environmental station alpha
>what is la mulana
>what is am2r
>what is emulating any of the 2d metroids/good castlevanias

I really hope this is bait. Fuck you.

>gravity rush 2 not nominated for anything

>good games don't win award shows
This is how you tell that a medium has become massive.

got me to reply

>art direction
>even bothering to list anything else after cuphead

How can anyone else even compete?

No but Western corporations certainly do, and who do you think is pumping the most money into this shit?

>pubg isn't even officially released
Can you imagine it?

>PUBG up for GotY
>Wins GotY
>Finally leaves Early Access
>Gets low scores when it's finally reviewed

>dead eyed
It's not just his eyes. He's completely dead inside.

I just watched the video OP. It tells me nothing. You don't know for sure that it'll be going to Player Unknown's Battlegrounds from Pug G Quarks. It could go to one of the Mario games or those PS4 games or even the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Yeah you have to be complete retarded to think that Persona 5 have a chance at winning GOTY in a fucking western amerilards awards.

Its pretty much admitting that japanese games are superior to yours.

Why FFXV is nominated if he released on 2016?

Atleast I can understand persona 5 since its wide release was on 2017 but why FF?
>Look at all the effort square enix is doing trying to push ffxv down our throats with the cameo deals

oh I get it, it was a bought slot

>>what is axiom verge
fanboy shit
>>what is environmental station alpha
literally who
>>what is la mulana
good but its over 10 years old
>>what is am2r
isnt a game
>>what is emulating any of the 2d metroids/good castlevanias
emulation doesnt count, its not the actual place where the games should be played

completely deserved.
the sound design in BotW is outstanding.
Also the music in general, but it's used poorly in the game.

>indie game being nominated GOTYAY ever
Not even Undertale made it despite the fucking shitfest it made.

I'm surprised an anime game got nominated.

>played Persona 5
>music was so good downloaded the OST
>play Destiny 2
>can't remember one fucking thing about the games audio
>it will probably win because name alone
I'm not ready to see it Sup Forums. I didn't think much of Mario or Zelda's music either, but I'll take them winning over Destiny 2 any day.

because they close the deadline half way through november, therefore FFXV wasnt able to make it in last year

>u..uhhhhh it's not a good game if I don't know about it or you're playing it on the wrong medium

kys

>the nintendo bonus isn't re-
