MULTI Game of the Year 2019 Award Winners - IT HAS BEGUN !!!

[Radical]

People prefer to be told/reassured what their GOTY is! (By their ‘precious sources’ no less!)

Hahaha...pathetic!

 

[SolitarySoldier]

I so wanna play this Goose Game. I'm usually quick to prefer Indies over AAAs if they are creative and fun.

[NaNoW]

@CerebralTiger @Chandoo @Necrokiller @manigamer @Journeys End :

yayy

 

[SolitarySoldier]

Tbh, I don't think remakes should get a nomination, except maybe in Technical Achievement category. :ninja:

 

[CerebralTiger]

Goal posts keep getting shifted more than the Untitled Goose honks

That's interesting because the 2nd quote was a quick reaction in light of your own implied accusation against the DICE judges panel. Turned out, having people from Sony, Nintendo, MS in the panel of jury has no bearing on the outcome. Otherwise, Death Stranding would've been picked over Untitled Goose game this year (and so many other Sony exclusives would've been picked in their respective year) :hah:

 

[Chandoo]

Come on Bafta, not nominating the currently leading 'critics pick' GoTY is just a travesty.

 

[Necrokiller]

Otherwise, Death Stranding would've been picked over Untitled Goose game

So now Death Stranding is an exclusive :lol:

Exclusive? Gem? Death Stranding is neither :hah:

 

[CerebralTiger]

Nah, just a fully funded Sony IP

 

[Necrokiller]

Sunless Skies wins a critic's GoTY.

[Chandoo]

RIP Sekiro's Critics award win ambitions:

 

[Necrokiller]

Kojima losing to a goose, meanwhile RE2 wasn't even worthy of nominations :laugh1:

 

[CerebralTiger]

So, DICE and GDC GoTY is Untitled Goose Game. Even if another game wins at BAFTA, it'll still have a higher tally. Therefore, Untitled Goose Game is GoTY 2019 as far as I'm concerned.

Meanwhile, Necrokiller goes nuts about Parasite winning best picture at the Oscars, but continues to disregard awards of a similar stature in the game industry while including opinions from sites like wccftech into his criteria :lol:

 

[Necrokiller]

I don't see how the gaming "Oscars" are being neglected when they are part of the tally. Lest we forget, all the Metascore/Opencritic screenshots that get posted include WCCF Tech's review as well, including this one :lol:

 

[Chandoo]

To summarize:

Popular GoTY winner: Death Stranding
MC Certified GoTY winner: Resident Evil 2


time to close the books on 2019's GoTY

 

[CerebralTiger]

To summarize:

Popular GoTY winner: Death Stranding
MC Certified GoTY winner: Resident Evil 2

Oscar GoTY winner: Untitled Goose Game

 

[Necrokiller]
