Hahah so lemme get this straight. Necrokiller's celebrating Returnal winning GOTY? I'm okay with that

I'd be super happy to declare Returnal as the Overall GOTY alongside Inscryption and It Takes Two, but only the latter is the overall winner based on the tally

Metacritic / jury-based Awards show list tally is now:

1. It Takes Two - 10 / Deathloop - 10
2. Returnal - 9
3. Forza Horizon 5 - 8
4. Metroid Dread - 7
5. Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart - 5 / Psychonauts 2 - 5
6. Inscryption - 4 / Halo Infinite - 4

Necrokiller ceritified list tally is now:

1. It Takes Two - 10
2. Deathloop - 9
3. Forza Horizon 5 - 8 / Returnal - 8
4. Metroid Dread - 7
5. Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart - 5

Well deserved.

Mooost definitely.

Great win.

Undoooubtedly.

But no words for the BAFTA winner?

Hooollleeeee sheeeeeeet someone's trying hard

Yahaan tou Returnal ko aik award milney pe itni mushkil hou rahi thi, 2nd runner up accept karnay mein kitni mushkil hogi

Dat backfire

So is CerebralTiger accepting his own Oscar GoTY rules now? Yehi to mein chahta tha

Best possible outcome. When 3 games managed to get CerebralTiger's coveted award, but Mehtroid Dreadful is still nowhere to be found. 3....2....1....yikes

Made it pretty clear what I'm accepting

I'd be super happy to declare Returnal as the Overall GOTY alongside Inscryption and It Takes Two, but only the latter is the overall winner based on the tally

Overall results:

#1. It Takes Two
#2. Deathloop
#3. Returnal

 

[Necrokiller]

Made it pretty clear what I'm accepting

Yes yes. You did.

2019 - Untitled Goose Game
2020 - Hades
2021 - Inscryption / It Takes Two / Returnal

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.

To summarize:

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

Oscar GoTY winner: Untitled Goose Game

Oscar GoTY winner: (still) Untitled Goose Game

^This remains accurate in all cases. Works for meee

 

[CerebralTiger]

My accepted winner has already been stated. It's even in the thread title

 

[Necrokiller]

Mehtroid Dreadful still nowhere to be found.

3....2....1....

YIIIIKESS

Hooollleeeee sheeeeeeet someone's trying hard

Hoooolleeee sheeeeet congrats Returnal
