That's more accurate

didn't BOTW already win?

hmm...

Golden Joystick != Game Awards

Are you retarded?

That was a disaster.

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.

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

Not true, sonic forces got snapchat adverts.... oh wait that's the mobile game.

WEEBSHIT NEVER HAD A CHANCE UNTIL NOW. THE WORLD IS READY.

>overdressed Aloy
Wrong!

This was a pretty good year for games desu, and plenty of promising releases in the horizon

I still say overwatch didn't deserve it but what was it competing with again?

If Tim Schaffer shows up on stage as he always does, it's going to happen.

I predict a dringking game.

Where are the phantom thieves, we need this to happen.

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

Didn't hearthstone win at some point?

wouldn't the Phantom Thieves just steal the award & escape with it anyway?
HOLY SHIT! I want this to happen

Nop, it won goty from gametrailers

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.

>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.

persona 5 is literally the most normalfag jrpg ever made

>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!

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.

sadly this

what the fuck happened in 2003

>2016 - Overwatch
2016 was a shitty year for vidya.

At least the comments are fine.

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?

Big if true

>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

Thoughts on Hydrobot? Should he come back? Did he enjoy Persona 5?

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.

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.

There's a high chance he's coming back

>Jap game winning GOTY

never ever

P5 was released in 2016 what the fuck are you talking about?

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.

It's a GOTY nominee for this year's TGAs

>pretending like persona 5 ain't normalfag shit

Since we're talking about things that'll never happen OP

>Geoff Keighley takes the stage
>unfolds the card
>licks his lips
>"2017's Game Of The Year award goes to..."
>looks up straight into the camera
>"...Nier Automata."
>Weight Of The World starts playing
>Yoko Taro pops up from behind the podium, which he was hiding in the entire night
>he snatches the award from Keighley's hand, and grabs the microphone
>starts jabbering in moonspeak, which Keighley smoothly translates
>"Thank you, everyone, also please look forward to Drakengard 4 in 2019”
>Taro then dives to the floor and rolls off the stage into the orchestra pit
>the entire audience bursts into treats

Your's literally can't happen for the Game of the Year category. Could happen for music and story-telling.

>2003 - Madden NFL 2004

What in the actual FUCK? There were way better games in 2003 than that shit.

I'm actually mad.

Will SMTV be too smart for gamers to win GOTY in 2019?

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.

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.

more too controversial when it gets the fame

more like*

2017 - Mass Effect Andromeda

Honestly better written than anything else up there. Mario and Zelda are baby games and Horizon's writing is compromised by SJWs and darkies.

>implying lefties wouldn't love P5
The entire plot is basically "adult men are greedy, misogynistic, abusive assholes"

IT'S NOW OR NEVER

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.

>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.

I wish.

And P5 is weeb game

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.

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.

Oh. Yeah DOOM or Uncharted would have been better and I don't even like Uncharted.

>2003
>among the nominees were Wind Waker, Splinter Cell, fucking VICE CITY
>Madden wins

Was this some kind of practical joke?

You just made all that shit up.

>The walking dead
WHAT THE FUCK Sup Forums?

No it's not. At most it's an ironic weeb game because it gives ironic weebs a good excuse to squeal about waifus.

the world is ready, weebs are accepted by drumpf supporters. weebs are drumpf supporters

>>"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.

BotW is gonna win. I just can't see anyone choosing HZD when all everyone has talked about this year was Zelda.

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.

Reminder that The walking dead also won the Sup Forumsga

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.

It was a fluke on telltale's part.

...

Why didn't Shut Up and Jam:Gaiden win 2008?

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-

>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?

LITERALLY the only deserving games there are Uncharted 2 and Witcher 3.

lefties only need one reason to hate something with all their might. Like for example, Ann's panther costume.

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?

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.

>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

I fully accept Persona being casual at this point, but
>Horizon
>PUBG
>Either of those deserving of GoTY
No.

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

Isn't pubg in early access? How can it be nominated when it's not even finished and released?

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

Please, red your post again and feel embarassment.

it's really popular

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.

This game will launch with ps5

...

It's nominated, you ape. Research your shit before posting and embarrassing yourself.

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.

>"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.

...

Im still fucking surprised how the fuck Zelda BOTW snatched best audio award from Persona 5.

I sincerely doubt the voting jury isn't going to overwhelmingly punch in Breath of the Wild.
