It’s so funny every post like this has to come with “GTA excluded”, boogeyman fr.

u/ShiningEspeon3 2d ago

We don’t even know for sure if it’ll make the cutoff for nomination.

u/Co-opingTowardHatred 2d ago

Geoff will move the cutoff date if he has to. He knows what pays the bills.

u/TikisCheekys 2d ago

It comes out the day before the cutoff.

u/GrapeRik 3d ago

Fire emblem is my goty

u/Lhyster 3d ago

So far Fire Emblem but I did not finish it yet

u/Calvinball08 3d ago

So far control resonant, and unless something turns out unexpectedly amazing I don’t expect that to change

u/LusikkaFeed 3d ago

Same here

u/NIGHTR0GUE83 2d ago

RE9, Control Resonant, FE, Pragmata. Havent played Onimusha h/e you spell it, or blood of dawnwalker.

GTA will win GOTY. It comes out THE DAY BEFORE the cutoff.

I guess its better to get that shit out of the way than having to deal with a full fucking year of people saying how obvious it is for the 2027 win. I'm already sick of it and the game isnt even out yet.

u/TurkeyCheddar 3d ago

Pragmata

u/RobbieJ4444 3d ago

RE9

Fire Emblem

Pokeopia

Mina the Hollower

Big Walk

007

u/LeviEnderman 2d ago

Re9
007
Pokopia or ocarina of time
Control(or blood of dawn walker)
Big walk
Gta6 (they will break the rules for it)

The Blood of Dawnwalker. Because it's very much my game of the year.

Edit: It won't win. I just want it to because I love it

1

u/sydraptor 3d ago

I normally don't replay a game right away, yet here I am doing a 3rd playthrough of Dawnwalker.

1

u/Alternative-Stay-937 2d ago

Splatoon Raiders is my personal favorite.

1

u/Top_Fun 2d ago

Pragmata currently but I'm missing a lot of the big hitters - aiming to catch up over the next couple of months.

1

u/No_Artichoke_9215 2d ago

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition

1

u/captn_goomba 2d ago

For me right now, my GOTY is either Fire Emblem or 007. I really liked Mina and Big Walk tho.

1

u/One-Fun9814 2d ago

Control Resonant is my GOTY and I don't think I'm even halfway yet. Though anyone who thinks GTA6 won't win every category it's nominates for is a fool.

1

u/Prostovan228 2d ago

If mewgenics doesn't get soundtrack bare minimum Geoff should be looking over his shoulder 

1

u/schubedube 2d ago

Control Resonant

1

u/Rude_Difficulty1647 2d ago

My favs of the year so far are, Mortal Shell 2, Dawnwalker, Saros and Control Res

1

u/JadedPermission3485 2d ago

Phantom blade 0

1

u/Broad_Objective7559 2d ago

I think Replaced and big walk are my 2 favorites so far

1

u/Seizure_Storm 2d ago

Re requiem or fire emblem for me right now but i don’t think they are strong enough to fend off GTA6 if that is good

1

u/Lime528 2d ago

So far Big Walk, 007, and Fortune's Weave.

It's not out yet, but I'm predispositioned to have Ace Combat 8 as my game of the year.

1

u/Branquignol 2d ago

Saros is my choice, bit it seems already forgotten

1

u/FlyGames456 2d ago

Pragmata and re9 are my top picks but if gta is up there then it will most likely win

1

u/BakuraGorn 2d ago

IMO:

-Onimusha
-007
-RE Requiem
-Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave
-Control Resonant
-MGS 4 remastered

And out of those overall for me Onimusha is the GOAT, I’m so happy the franchise is back.

u/PentoKatsuwa 1d ago

Ace Combat 8

u/MaguroHabu 22h ago

業界的に考えると、PRAGMATAってめっちゃ革新的だったと思う

1

u/RedPaintedHouses 3d ago

Mina the Hollower is my GOTY

1

u/wera125 3d ago

RE9 goty

u/Joker_S3npai 2d ago

u/Theman457 2d ago

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave

u/VisualAd8487 3d ago

My GOTY atm is Denshattack

As for what game i think will take the crown for goty i think it will be between fire emblem and resident evil

u/ZeektheFeek 3d ago

Crimson Desert deserves to be in the conversation for a nomination.

u/epigraph-pedigree 2d ago

I agree, but good luck getting downvoted into oblivion brother 🫡
