Jayden Hall
weebshit gaining awards even with nintendofags and fpsfags on the competition. this is the best timeline.

That's more accurate

didn't BOTW already win?

Ethan Evans

Kayden Jones
Geoff is more professional than that but aw fuck at least one of the industry people is going to give the "video games helped us escape from drumpf's 2017" line.
Brandon Stewart
Sega's advertising budget ran out a LOOONG time ago. You could tell something was up when Kiwami was basically released with almost no hype. Then the countless failures started happening. The only good thing is that when a game failed miserably, they would quickly reduce the price.

WEEBSHIT WILL NEVER WIN GOTY FROM THE POPE
Isaiah Taylor
Not true, sonic forces got snapchat adverts.... oh wait that's the mobile game.
Landon Ramirez
WEEBSHIT NEVER HAD A CHANCE UNTIL NOW. THE WORLD IS READY.
Gavin Wilson
>overdressed Aloy Wrong!
Logan Diaz
This was a pretty good year for games desu, and plenty of promising releases in the horizon
Asher Cook
I still say overwatch didn't deserve it but what was it competing with again?
Liam Reyes
If Tim Schaffer shows up on stage as he always does, it's going to happen.
I predict a dringking game.
Kevin Cox
Where are the phantom thieves, we need this to happen.
Nathaniel Adams
Doom – developed by id Software Inside – developed by Playdead Titanfall 2 – developed by Respawn Entertainment Uncharted 4: A Thief's End – developed by Naughty Dog
Jason Jackson
Didn't hearthstone win at some point?
Jason Ramirez
wouldn't the Phantom Thieves just steal the award & escape with it anyway? HOLY SHIT! I want this to happen
Ethan Morris
Nop, it won goty from gametrailers
Jaxon Reed
You would have to be literally retarded to think anything other than Mario Odyssey or Nioh deserves GOTY. Next best thing would be Nier Automata. But Persona 5 and Horizon are literal garbage.
Anthony Cook
>2014 - Dragon Age: Inquisition
Shit was depressing, basically you give GOTY to the only western game that wasn't absolute garbage (but was still pretty goddamn awful), or the voters threw a hissyfit and fucked with the system.
Bentley Nguyen
persona 5 is literally the most normalfag jrpg ever made
Landon Sanders
>You would have to be literally retarded to think anything other than Mario Odyssey or Nioh deserves GOTY.
Ahahahaha says the retard Thanks for the laugh!
Luis Brooks
There's literally never been a jap game win this thing. Prepare for PUBG to win.

>when Kiwami was basically released with almost no hype. That's because Kiwami was a piece of shit and Sega knew it.

Kayden Nelson
At least the comments are fine.
Jace Roberts
You want a bunch of underpaid, cosplaying actors to awkwardly run on stage, grab the prize and run off, all while a bunch of confused, sweaty losers look on and stupidly giggle?
Parker Murphy
Big if true
Lucas Kelly
>people actually believe that an japanese game will win goty from vga
bayonetta 2 literally lost to fucking dragon age cisquisition
they literally despise japs
Easton Barnes
Thoughts on Hydrobot? Should he come back? Did he enjoy Persona 5?
Adam Howard
Resident Evil 4 is the only Japanese game to have won best game at the VGA's. Horizon will win. It has everything that appeals to the people that actually choose the winners. PUBG is a little too polarizing, Persona 5 is too weeby and BotW/BING BING WAHOO are Nintendo titles, so they automatically get disqualified.
Robert Edwards
Was it this bad with Bush as president? I didn't like Obama but at least during the 8 years he was president people didn't bring him up all the time.
Jose Miller
There's a high chance he's coming back
Ryan Baker
>Jap game winning GOTY
never ever
Samuel Ward
P5 was released in 2016 what the fuck are you talking about?
Jonathan Moore
Bush was the last president who didn't have to put up with the massively social media addiction of the American people. Had twitter and facebook been as widely used back then he would have been crucified far more than Trump has so far.
James Reed
It's a GOTY nominee for this year's TGAs
Jackson Phillips
>pretending like persona 5 ain't normalfag shit
Gabriel Long
Since we're talking about things that'll never happen OP

Levi Williams
Your's literally can't happen for the Game of the Year category. Could happen for music and story-telling.
Leo Martin
>2003 - Madden NFL 2004
What in the actual FUCK? There were way better games in 2003 than that shit.
I'm actually mad.
Oliver Morgan
Will SMTV be too smart for gamers to win GOTY in 2019?
Nolan Ortiz
P5 doesn't deserve to win, and I love the game. The writing is bad, and they removed a bunch of great stuff from P4G and is filled with DLC.
Jaxon Gonzalez
I do think it's more deserving of GOTY than the other games that were nominated, at least of the ones I've played, but it definitely won't win. I'm a little surprised it was even nominated.
Julian Hill
more too controversial when it gets the fame
Jason Martin
more like*
Josiah Nelson
2017 - Mass Effect Andromeda
Christopher Allen
Honestly better written than anything else up there. Mario and Zelda are baby games and Horizon's writing is compromised by SJWs and darkies.
Noah Bennett
>implying lefties wouldn't love P5 The entire plot is basically "adult men are greedy, misogynistic, abusive assholes"
Nathaniel Hill
IT'S NOW OR NEVER
Colton Gutierrez
Nah it'll be Horizon for sure. Japs aren't allowed to win, and they'll just save PUBG's possible GOTY win for next time in case they end up with another year of failed western titles.
Gavin Sanders
>Mario and Zelda are baby games P5 is good, but Automata or a few other games deserved the spot more. Of ourse HZD and PUBG shouldn't be there at all, but comparing p5 to others that my opinion.
Robert Miller
I wish.
Alexander Roberts
And P5 is weeb game
Carson Rodriguez
Yes, but it doesn't include any minority characters (Asians don't count as minorities because they are too successful) and it delegates all women into a subservient position to the misogynist lead character.
Lefties loathe P5.
Angel Ross
I'd probably say P5 is more deserving of it than Automata, ignoring the fact that P5 isn't even a 2017 game. I think Yakuza 0 is better than both of them either way.
Joseph Cox
Oh. Yeah DOOM or Uncharted would have been better and I don't even like Uncharted.
Andrew Lee
>2003 >among the nominees were Wind Waker, Splinter Cell, fucking VICE CITY >Madden wins
Was this some kind of practical joke?
Isaiah Davis
You just made all that shit up.
Kayden Cooper
>The walking dead WHAT THE FUCK Sup Forums?
Charles Lee
No it's not. At most it's an ironic weeb game because it gives ironic weebs a good excuse to squeal about waifus.
Noah Garcia
the world is ready, weebs are accepted by drumpf supporters. weebs are drumpf supporters
Logan Hill
>>"Persona 5 wins the GOTY 2017 award." Will literally NEVER EVER happen.
vgas are ore for normie shit eaters and breathers so it will either be Boredom in the Wild or Mario Blandyssey or PUBGB or whatever you call that normie cancer dog shit.
Xavier Gonzalez
BotW is gonna win. I just can't see anyone choosing HZD when all everyone has talked about this year was Zelda.
Charles Ortiz
From what I can tell, they don't like it because of the gay panic parts with those two homos, and they think it's a step back from P4 which had Kanji be "gay" and Naoto be "transgender." That's how it seems to be to me anyway.
Juan Hughes
Reminder that The walking dead also won the Sup Forumsga
Nathaniel Roberts
We all know it's going to be Horizon or Zelda. If they had the balls to choose something not so obvious, I'd be genuinely surprised.
Charles Nelson
It was a fluke on telltale's part.
Jeremiah Adams
...
Brandon Diaz
Why didn't Shut Up and Jam:Gaiden win 2008?
Oliver Gomez
Would be extremely orgasmic, but we know it's not gonna happen. Thanks for the pasta anyway.
-also, Seven Dollar Sanchez nowadays has a real hatebone against Nintendo because muh monetisation and he's too stupid to have a Patreon page-
Jackson Anderson
>Horizon and PUBG >Over Nier, Yakuza 0, Cuphead, and Prey. 2017 was a really bad year for western games. When will someone do the something about the rampant greed in the AAA scene?
Jonathan Wood
LITERALLY the only deserving games there are Uncharted 2 and Witcher 3.
Easton Reyes
lefties only need one reason to hate something with all their might. Like for example, Ann's panther costume.
Isaac Carter
Why does Sup Forums pretend Persona isn't normie as fuck as far as RPGs go? Do they want to rationalise liking it? Do they not want to be seen as casual?
Samuel Morgan
Not sure if Yakuza 0 can count fully since it's a 2-year old product and came out only this year to the west.
John Sullivan
>2009 >Nominees: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Assassin's Creed II Batman: Arkham Asylum Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Left 4 Dead 2 What a disgusting year for games But Demons's Souls is still better than all these
Brayden Green
I fully accept Persona being casual at this point, but >Horizon >PUBG >Either of those deserving of GoTY No.
Tyler Brown
because P5 ushered more new fans than any of the other games. Half of p5's audience are teenage bedshitters who were laughing about how bad turn based games are like two years ago
Tyler Clark
Isn't pubg in early access? How can it be nominated when it's not even finished and released?
Julian Long
Why would persona 5 win? The beginning of the game through the first dungeon is the highlight if the game. Everything from there gets progressivly worse. The amount of filler in the later dungeons is just mind boggling, you end up wishing the dungeon was over after every fucking hallway so you can leave and get back to the fun parts of the game
Also the true final boss is complete trash
Aiden Kelly
Please, red your post again and feel embarassment.
Justin Ortiz
it's really popular
Liam Gomez
Why do people pretend P3 and 4 didn't usher in huge amounts of fans as well? There's a reason why P5 sold more than most mainline SMT games. It wasn't a breakout hit, it was a sequel to some already really popular games. The first proper trailer for P5 was even on the front page of Youtube and it only got there because of the already large fanbase.
Elijah Sanders
This game will launch with ps5
Nathan Morgan
...
Isaac Ward
It's nominated, you ape. Research your shit before posting and embarrassing yourself.
Thomas Ramirez
I think most people are aware of where it sits with its popularity. It's obviously not as popular as the likes of Horizon or PUBG, but it's one of the more popular JRPGs out there at the moment. People who act like its obscure seem to just want to feel special.
Hudson Anderson
>"Ok, what games can we also put up for GoTY?" >"We have Nier and Cuphead. Why not those?" >"Woah there! We already have three Japanese games and indies aren't gonna win. Let's put Horizon and PBG there instead!" >"...ok..." Literally handing it to Nintendo cause 'Murrican game companies can't do what the Grammys and Oscars do.
Henry Allen

Ryan Anderson
Im still fucking surprised how the fuck Zelda BOTW snatched best audio award from Persona 5.
Noah Cooper
I sincerely doubt the voting jury isn't going to overwhelmingly punch in Breath of the Wild.
