How the FUCK is an early-access game nominated for a GOTY award?

How the FUCK is an early-access game nominated for a GOTY award?

The absolute fucking STATE of video games right now HOLY SHIT.

Early access means nothing
It is released game

what is the problem?
overwatch is a unfinished game too and won the goty 2016

>the game equivalent of the dicksuck oscar night
Who gives a shit

Because every game that is released now is basically early access. Some are just more honest about actually branding it as that

If I remember correctly PUBG won't be in early access anymore at the time of the awards. The 1.0 update is already going through the live test servers in stages.

And it will win it, too.

>1 early access
>2 rehashes
>sonyshit and weebshit
truly the """""""""""game of the year"""""""""""""

I'm voting for it simply because I want to see people on Sup Forums lose their shit

because its a fucking video game?

when will you admit nintendo games are goty for reason

>This fully finished hamburger is not finished unless there are onions on it

I'm voting for it because the other games are shit, and i didn't even played pubg.

Nintendo games never won vga goty

I didn't ask for your opinion though

this is the year

>went to vote Odyssey
>needs Facebook

why would you vote for Odyssey

>caring about awards
>at all

>cook is making a hamburger
>cook tells you explicitly that the hamburger isn't finished yet
>you: Surely this hamburger must be fully finished

Best game there

>bad optimization
>ugly graphics
>one map
>basic gameplay elements

Can someone explain the hype-train to me? I'll give PUBG credit, the concept is brilliant and it can be addictive, but the gameplay feels so half-baked. There's not really a whole lot to the game and it's honestly nowhere near worth being nominated for GotY, especially when games like Nioh, Nier: Automata and Divinity: Original Sin 2 came out in the same year.

sorry user :(

it really isnt

>food analogy

>PUBG cucked out Nier Automata, RE7, Nioh, Cuphead, Sonic Mania, and some others I forget from the GOTY award

Chinese people can suck a dick, poor taste fucks

Which one is?

RE7, Tomato and Nioh are pretty overrated

How the fuck is PUBG on there but Cuphead isn't?

Persona 5 is the only one that deserves it

I hope not.
Nintendo fans are unbearable

>le overrated
Fuck off hipster

It actually probably is. Haven't played any of those games, but at least that one looks decent.

>game wins goty before release
>game wins goty again next year after release
it'll happen, cap this, I'm calling it

I hate how normalfags friendly the Persona series has become.

Normalfags are finally experiencing quality games, at a cost of course.

Where is A Hat In Time?

Anyway
>Shit game
>Decent game
>Banned for stream sniping
>Decent game but bad persona game
>Literally sonygros

Odyssey wins. A shame, because A Hat In Time is better than it.

I hate this world.

it's not that an early access game is nominated
it's that every fucking game here is shit

A Hat In Time was excluded because "MUH JONTRON BOGEYMAN"

t. Mecha cucking himself

It's lightning in a bottle, IE it got incredibly lucky. I fucking hate the game and it's success baffles me.

Zelda wasn't a complete game on release either.

did someone say food analogy

We need an update to this.

>horizon zero dawn

yeah fuck whoever came up with that list, im not even mad about PUBG

>tfw PUBG is going to win
Feels bad man.

>It actually probably is. Haven't played any of those games, but my favorite youtuber likes it

Who the fuck is this guy? He's has to be joking, right?

Early access or not, it's still a video game that people are playing and enjoying.

so it would have to be ineligible once it actually releases.

you cant win game of the year twice im afraid.

SJWeeaboos don't joke around

lemme guess; you never played it and probably never owned a PlayStation console?

dumb sonygers never learn.

A Tomato not being nominated for GOTY is terrible.

But you know what's worse?

A Tomato not being nominated for best soundtrack.

The thing is that I don't even think it's bad; it's just incredibly apparent when you play it that it's nowhere near close to being finished. I genuinely don't see how someone can think it qualifies as a finished product let alone a GotY contender.

I'm calling it right now, Zelda and Mario will split the vote and Horizon will win because Sonyfags are insufferable.

This.
If you can purchase it and play it with no time based restrictions or NDA, its released.
"Early release" means fuck all anymore, its just marketing.

No, those other games just don't seem like my cup of tea so to speak. I just like 3d platformers overall more than what those other games represent.

What's a fanalogy?

You answered his question without actually answering it. Impressive.

>4 out of 5 games are console exclusives
>1 is early access pc 'game'
PC is dead irrelevant garbage. Prove me wrong.

Yes bit it still suck, it's a tecniacl mess a buggy shit.

Pubg beats everything in the following metrics

Sales, player count, player retention (how long a game lasts), uniqueness, surprising was, must popular game with the pc audience, being vaguely realistic the most popular game with the xbone/PS4 audience after ports and how influential it is.

What the FUCK do the other games even beat it at?

It's just muh feesfees I said it was fotm and can't admit I was wrong

Pubg is bigger than all the others combined.

>nintendofag vote split between mario and zelda
>sonyfag vote split between persona and horizon

Every game on that list is a much better game than fucking PUBG but we all know what's gonna win.

pubg isnt out yet.

it can win goty when its actually out OR it can win goty now instead of later.

regardless it shouldnt be able to win twice.

75 percent of pubg players have played it in the last month. You can't say the same for the others

>have played it
without a definition of what "played" actually is this is meaning less.

99% of players "play" loads of games but they just log in and out of their accounts for a few minutes

the most unfinished game on that list is botw

>Can someone explain the hype-train to me?
here you go

Well seeing as how Mario Odyssey has only been out for 19 days I'm gonna safely say 100% of Mario Odyssey players have played it within the last month. Dumbass.

No they don't.

Check games you p
on steamspy, 75 percent is genuinely, unironically very likely to be higher than any game in history

>SJWs
>normalfags
Pick one and only one.

so what counts as playing a game?

I don't give a shit what chinks are playing, give me the data for people outside of China and I'll be impressed

Logging in for 1 second. Note this is the exact same criteria for every game

At worse it's still 50 percent, which is STILL likely higher than any other game in history

None of the games in that list feel like game of the year material desu.

>Logging in for 1 second. Note this is the exact same criteria for every game
alright, its a fucking useless criteria then.

you may not like it but PUBG is, in it's current state, among the best games released this year and it most certainly ranks among the best multiplayer games released this decade

if this says more about the game itself or the state of the games industry, that's for you to decide

>no Origins
They’re fucking serious?

>popular = best

usually this wouldn't be the case, but given most of it's popularity came through it's quality it is an indicator

remember this game is currently beating out AAA multiplayer games with a marketing budget bigger than their dev budget

I'm just glad that pseudo-intellectual garbage Nier: Automata isn't in the running.

Ahhh wait it actually says it, average play time of half an hour per 2 weeks.

For reference two games which were popular on v, riding storm Vietnam and but automata average about 3 minutes

Accept it and move on

Will probably win
>PUBG

If PUBG doesn't win, this game will win
>Horizon

Has a very minimal chance of winning, don't bet on it
>Both Nintendo games

Has literally no chance of winning, I don't know why it's nominated
>Persona 5.

I haven't played any of these so I just voted PUBG to make Sup Forums mad

polls like these just make GOTY a popularity contest

PUBG will probably win too because of this

feminists and sjws and chads ruined games
normies ruin everything :(

link?

where are nintendos playtime statistics?

But it was, I clearly remembered voting for it there.

>caring about that pope doritos garbage

This is the only awards that matter, by and for people who actually play vidya

>That filename
Fuck you for that midnight chuckle.

>No Nier Automaton
>No Yakuza 0

Fucking why? Especially Nier was a huge success despite it being a relatively low budget game. Why the fuck would they nominate an unfinished game over it?

>thinking they can get win from a split vote while PUBG is up
nope

Steamspy only shows pc games.

Google trends shows others where Zelda/horizon actually don't last as long as normal AAA games

Pubg is showing signs of lasting Minecraft tier length

(Note height of the lines is wrong for cod ww2 and pubg since it didn't detect then as videogames)

And PUBG isnt?

>if you can purchase it it's out
>ea means nothing
this piece of shit also had fun concept at the time, but somehow i didn't see it winning GOTY
