Any challengers?

Nah.

OMG WHO WILL PAY JOURNALISTS THE MOST THIS YEAR TO GET A MEANINGLESS AWARD? PLACE YOUR BETS NOW
There are thousands of publications giving out GOTY awards, who cares

Death Stranding 2 . Maybe.

Leave it to me

No. Maybe DS2, we'll see. Its been a very weak year so far.

And the winner of the game of the year award 2025 goes to... Trails Beyond The Hori-

>>713349893 (OP)
So far it's KCD2 for me. I didn't get past the tutorial of E33, the dialogue was not interesting and the combat and grappling hook shit just looked really stupid

>>713349893 (OP)
Nope.

>>713349893 (OP)
DS2, Donkey Kong and Hades 2 come to mind for me

>>713349893 (OP)
I don't get critics, man. They give GOTY to a terrible platformer, to BG3 that was buggy as fuck and now they're all sucking this game's dick. I've never liked jrpgs but this is so mid it's crazy.

Why is Astro Bot terrible?

>>713349893 (OP)
Donkey Kong or Metroid prime 4

>>713350190
>Astro bot won last year
Because it had literally 0 competition besides Balatro. Last year was a repeat of 2016 where absolutely nothing released by Nintendo since they were saving everything for their new console, and everyone else failed to pick up the slack.

Death Stranding 2 is only game I know of that might displace it but even that is ps exclusive so I wont personally tought it.

33 is the only multiplat (that I can play) thats a goty contender

Nothing I know of coming out. Maybe there will be a surprise launch like how Astro Bot killed the monkey game, but highly unlikely.

No fucking way, what went wrong this time?

Deltarune won btw

This gem got overshadowed and deserved more recognition

>>713350912
the artstyle looks atrocious

>>713350548
Metaphor was Astro Bot's main competition

>>713350785
Platform exclusivity isn't a negative factor I don't think. Not that I think DS2 stands a chance. It's so much bigger and has so much more bullshit compared to E33 streamlined experience.

How? That's just your opinion, this game is universally praised by normal people and not just critics. Your opinion is just wrong.

There is nothing wrong with not liking something, but to call it bad, is actually wrong

>>713349893 (OP)
Maybe ds2 but I don't see a lot of hype around that game isnt it?

>>713350573
Can you post your pc specs with a timestamp?

>>713350973

The art style, specifically in the different environments you're in, were one of the best things about it.

That and the story, which is written by the same devs as Frostpunk, so it's got pretty good mature themes.

>>713350912
I didn't know it got released. Yeah, it got overshadowed hard. I don't think I've even seen one thread about it here. Looks pretty decent from previews I've seen on YouTube.

>>713351054
Did people actually care about that game?

>>713351081
exclusives being considered for awards is honestly bs
whats the single most importact factor for a game being considered good? Well being able to fucking playi.

>>713350548

Stellar Blade and Wukong both clear Astro and E33.

>>713350528
Because there’s no innovation behind it. Not in its gameplay. Not in its graphics, not even in its story, the only thing Sony seems to give a shit about in their games above all else. It was a shameless product plug and “REMEMBER THIS, FELLOW MILLENNIALS?” nostalgiawank.

How is 33 goty? I haven't played, its the story? Gameplay? Ost?

>>713351432
Stellar Blade is a 7/10 and Wukong is a 6. It's goyslop trash.

>>713349893 (OP)
bananza already won by a mile

>>713351456
the ost is pretty good, people mostly praise it for the character drama
gameplay is turn based with parry mechanics so some people actually fucking hate it

>>713350912
The only reason I even know about this game is because Yahtzee glazed it nonstop for 6 minutes. I might pick it up at some point.

All. Only big negative fans of it can bring up is the difficulty balancing, it is apparently very easy to break the game. Also the final boss is pathetically easy if optional content is done beforehand.

>>713351547
Asian third world faggot.

Journalists really liked it for some reason so it will probably win. I thought it was mid.

fantasy life i was a substantially better game.

>>713351589

>>713350973
Can you elaborate on that? I just checked it out

If you don't mind a bit of resource micromanagement with base building, then it's great. Specifically, if you're familiar with 11bits previous titles.

It's pretty ambitious in a lot of different mechanics, but perfectly blends them with the pace of the game.

>>713351297

>>713351775

saying some 1% most successfull person on the planet has a rich relative isnt the take down you think it is

1. Expedition 33
2. Death Stranding 2 (kojima bonus)
3. Split Fiction (fuck the oscars meme guy bonus)
4. Blue Prince (obligatory random indie game)
5. Ghost of Yotei (snoy bonus and woman bonus to own the chuds)
6. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 OR Donkey Kong. Probably Donkey Kong is more likely actually due to Nintendo bonus.

But there you go. Nothing else really has a chance.

it certainly gets the award for most contrived garbage ending

How bad was 2014 that fucking Inquisition managed to win GOTY.

>>713352030
KCD2 has a better chance over DK. It has the "own the chud" bonus and journos hate Nintendo.

Stellar Blades mogs any japoid game.

>>713350548
Yakuza infinite wealth 100% was game of the year.

Stellar Blade is soulless slop that never exceeds mediocrity.

>>713352030
Aside from Zelda the game awards don't give a fuck about nintendo

>>713352385
Na. Infinite Wealth was a disapointment. It barely improves over 7, the game is piss easy, the story is an absolute mess, Hawaii sucks ass and everyone talks Japanese somehow.

>>713352292
its mostly that 2011 was last good year for single player games as all publishers pivoted towards mtx and always online shit
w3 released in 2015 and established some sort of normalcy but Inquisition was above average game prior to witcher 3

>>713352452

Truly the indicator for a great game.
You're either fucking retarded or haven't played more than 5 games of which 4 are variations of fucking Tetris if you really think that it's anywhere good let alone fucking great.

Verso (fake) was partially to blame but the final choice was with Maelle. Verso did not and could not destroy the canvas, the fight was just more contrived nonsense.

Maelle is also a retard in the other ending and can't be happy no matter what.

I love E33, for the record, but it's already been topped by MKW. Well, and Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, the actual game of the year, but that's a remake of a 2015 game. Nobody is going to offer up a Mario Kart game for Game of the Year even though it's one of the most popular vidya franchises of all time and more than deserves the title. Even if the game released for $50 (technically it did with the bundle) it'd still not earn GotY.

That leaves Metroid Prime 4, Expedition 33, Yakuza Pirates, Death Stranding 2, and DK Bananza in the running for this year. Of those, I'm betting on E33 or MP4.

The game is cinematic melodrama that has an interesting enough premise and doesn't turn into super power God slop until way later

>>713349893 (OP)
Reminder GOTY is meaningless after 2020. One of the top 10 worst games of all time, up there with Big Rigs Over the Road Racing and Atari ET, won GOTY. There's no recovering from that.

To put it into perspective, that'd be like if the Ford Pinto won Car of the Decade.

I feel like if KCD2 had come out after e33 it would've been the frontrunner. The way people talked about it, the specific things they highlighted about it, even the way it (deliberately or not, doesn't really matter) moved away from the right winger segments of the first game's fanbase, the way people praised its systems and quest narratives, and the fact that like Sandfall, those guys are also technically a AA team, I think it easily would've taken the wind out of e33's sails had it just launched after it and not before.

>>713353308
Journalists didn't like DS1. Geoff's vote doesn't count enough to win it for Kojumbo. It will probably be the best game of this year though.

So far, the clear frontrunner for Game of the Year 2025 is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It’s been a surprise hit from Sandfall Interactive, topping both Metacritic and OpenCritic with a score around 92 — currently the highest-rated game this year. It’s also sold impressively, with over 3.3 million copies moved in its first month, giving it strong commercial momentum.

Critics and industry analysts widely agree it’s the game to beat. Some outlets have even described it as “almost unbeatable” in the GOTY race, frequently ranking it ahead of heavyweight contenders like Death Stranding 2 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

>>713355710
Why don't AAA studios do it then?

>>713355845
They do. It just gets offset by console warriors. Go look at mario odyssey user score. Sonic fans, snoys, and many others gave it zeros for no reason. Thats why user score means fuck all

>>713355313
It must be 10x more popular than Mario Kart World

>>713350190
Nobody knew what Astrobot was and that was a controversy. Even the people who played it didn't think it deserved game of the year. It was the most transparently purchased award in history. Sony wanted to buy that award but only had one game.

i literally shit on Nintendo on daily basis, E33 is objectively one of the worst games to come out this year.

>>713349893 (OP)
KCD2 and DS2 are the only noteworthy games that came/come out this year, everything else is either UE5slop or lazy indie woke trash.

>>713359258

The gameplay looks incredible. The music, that we've heard, is also fantastic.

>>713360221
>nintendo fans are shilling E33 because... well just because ok!
It doesn't even have a port..

Can't wait for E33 to win GOTY so it becomes cool to hate it and say it's overrated

>>713349893 (OP)
I don't have the energy to 'play' games like this. Thank fuck for youtube.

fuck Nintendo you retard, I haven't owned tendieslop since the wii. I'm calling you brown for shitting on the white mans game: E33.

>>713362436
Like half of Hololive streamed the game. You have no idea what you're talking about.

2014 was the peak of the gaming dark ages that started in ~2008

We're still not out of them yet but at least it's not 2012-2016 anymore

>>713363475
Hope it gets a Japanese dub, that's pretty much the only filter to some Japs who are interested but hate reading subtitles

>>713352292
I've been playing games since the NES and 2014 was the worst year for video games ever imo.

>>713362436
Japs love Exp 33, I don't think you understand the hatred people have over there for modern Square Enix for what they did to Dragon Quest remaster, what they did to Final Fantasy and the continued scandals of that company.

You have to be 18 to post here

I thought the people saying "sorry no switch port" were just being funny. Now that I've seen people actually scream how Donkey Kong is "the best game evahr" I now realize I was wrong. Nintendo freaks are the absolute worst.

It's a time trial ghost, retard. That was the former world record. You can view the WR ghosts by downloading them, and you can even race against them.

>>713350912
Just the husbros hanging out while their wives take their monthly Jamaica trip

>>713364552
The meta is still being developed. I've seen some absolutely insane tricks. Particularly on Cheep Cheep Falls.

MKW is every bit as technical as MK8D, if not more. The skill ceiling is very high.

>>713364741
Collectathons usually give some motivation to the players in the form of challenges or unlocking interesting areas, every second of Bananza gameplay looks identical and devoid of challenge

>>713349893 (OP)
As we saw with Wukong, any game that is not American or it's partner countries that will bend the knee will always just be a runner up at the American awards ceremony

>>713365127

I shiggy diggy

>>713365127
I've seen the comparison videos, just driving straight is faster than doing all that shit

>>713364961
why is the time trial ghost doing things impossible to recreate by the player?

>>713364749
The truth of the matter is that console fanboys, are all scum. They scream praise for decisions that will harm the industry as a whole, each in their own way.
Dare point out the flaws of their favourite and they will piss, and cry, and scream that
>"Well at least X isn't doing what Y is doing!"
This is quickly replaced by
>"Actually it's okay when X does it!"
two months later when their chosen company does that same shit.

Microsoft needs to manage their retarded devs better
Sony needs to make fucking video games
Nintendo needs to stop sucking cock.

None of this will happen, and their fanboys will continue to be faggots until we finally get another crash.

>>713365127
>skill ceiling
>fucking mario kart
Most people just shit post this but I genuinely want you to kys.

>>713364961
Doesn't a player have to phase through that box in normal racing mode to create that ghost?

>>713350573
I'm buying this game for the loli

>>713365345
>>713365485
Yes, people play competitive Mario Kart, and yes people can consistently win. The luck in Mario Kart World is very manageable considering how little you get hurt from getting hit by items.

>>713365749
>items barely hurt in mario kart b-but that's a good thing
Again, kys.

>>713365567
I'll actually just explain for you. the ghost doesn't actually interact with the track, because the game doesn't track the actual conditions of the track during the replay. This means the ghost clips through all destructible objects in the map, because the game didn't track if that object was actually there to begin with.

>>713365567
>>713365442
It's not impossible for the player to do. The Ghost used a mushroom to go through the boxes. The reason the Ghost doesn't break the boxes is so you can't have the Ghost break boxes for you on Time Trials to then sneak past the boxes without a mushroom.

>>713365797
Yes, it is a good thing that items don't ruin the race for you, especially because there's 2x the amount of items flying around as in MK8.

>>713350573
yea this game have a chance, given that nintendo games are ridiculously overrated by journos in general.

>>713365908
>mario kart is le serious racer very competitive and high skill ceiling

>>713365921
False. There's a Nintendo penalty not a Nintendo bonus. Journos hate Nintendo.

>>713349893 (OP)
E33 is great, but you're a fag for posting screenshots of polygon.

>>713365805
>>713365829
Okay, I'll believe that. The game looks pretty good otherwise.

>>713365964
What the fuck are you even whining about?

TOTK a fucking full price DLC got a 96.
The last masterpiece game that Nintendo release was BOTW .
TOTK and Mario Odyssey are 7-8/10 games with a Nintendo bonus.

>>713366257
Obviously

mafia ye olde country

>>713366312
TotK is a brand new game with an entirely new set of abilities. It's as much a DLC as Majora's Mask is.

Its going to be Clair Obscure vs Death Stranding 2 and it all depends how fucking wierd kojima gets this time.

>>713351081
>last of us 2 got a GOTY
lmao I forgot about that

>>713366773
Did people actually like DS1? I remember it getting rightfully shit on for being a walking delivery simulator. So much so it surprised me they were approving a 2nd game.

>>713366515
>Majora's Mask famously used the same map as Ocarina

>>713366515

wow cool, would be nice to have the rest of the game be new as well right?

There were three different reactions you could have had to Death Stranding.
>WTF is this walking simulator bullshit, I'll go play some shooter
>NOO it's actually NOT a walking simulator, it's an incredibly deep and nuanced multigenre blend, the story is incredible, the gameplay is paced for a cinematic experience, the Strand type multiplayer will revolutioni-
>Yes, it's a delivery man walking simulator, and that's kino.

>>713367007
>>713366995
TotK added more than a metric Majora's Mask's worth of new areas as well, even ignoring the underground. The sky islands and dungeons alone would've been enough for a new game, but TotK also changed up the overworld from BotW.

>>713350190
Doubt it, from what Nintendo have shown it seems that most of the game is just punching and breaking things around, that makes it way too repetitive and mind numbing

>genuinely, sincerely, nonsarcastically bringing up dunkey kang as a contender
Trolling or mental illness?

>>713366483
It looks promising and I am excited to play through a God Father 2 tier story game but I don't think it'll be GOTY quality. I could be wrong, and I think it'll do ok but we'll see.

>>713367209
>French game sells well in France
Stop the presses.

Let's not forget Eurogays have always hated Nintendo. Most of Nintendo's sales came from North America and Japan. More Canadians bought Switches than did Frenchmen even though France has almost double the population.

>>713349893 (OP)

you Nintendo fanatics are insane. Ubisoft would be rightfully shit one of the new assassin creed used the same map but it's okay when Nintendo does it.
people like you are the reason why I say that Nintendo games are overrated.

>>713367774
>he thinks he was joking
bless you, child

>>713367290
Not them, i ragged on TOTK before playing it and I didn't even know the entire underground world existed. I like the loss of hearts and the pitch darkness of the area. Actually made the game challenging. The underworld should have been marketed more than the sky portion

>>713367794
Not even close. The US and Japan are far and away #1 and #2. Canada is now #3 with the UK somehow pulling #4. Even Germany bought almost as many Switch games as did France and Germany has been in an economic crisis since 2020.

>>713367938
>>713367837
Yes, it was clearly a joke. I only occasionally watch videos by Matt Walsh, but he doesn't actually hate anime or thinks it's satanic. His real dogshit opinion is that he thinks adults shouldn't play video games except with their kids.

>>713351456
>its the story?
It's OK, deals with escapism as a coping mechanism, the characters are what elevate the story since they feel more "realistic".
>Gameplay?
Combat is turn based with QTEs for both attack and defense, level design is mostly linear with a few detours with rewards and challenges, overworld map has a bunch of optional areas once you unlock enough traversal abilities. It shares the biggest flaw that most game with QTEs in combat do, fights can't be super quick due to needing to give players enough time to see and react to animations and button prompts in order to properly attack/defend, so it can feel like it is dragging at times, particularly at places with a lot of enemies. Personally, by Act 3 i was souring on it already, so i just did a few optional stuff and beat the final boss, didn't really feel like doing everything
>Ost?
Probably the best thing in this game, though i wish the over world music varied more

>>713368362
>His real dogshit opinion is that he thinks adults shouldn't play video games except with their kids.
Why BVSED gamers and associated terminally online spheres (like lolifags) willingly associate with conservatard grifters I'll never understand. They fucking hate your hobby and call you defenerate.

>>713367886
Ubisoft games have nothing to do with Zelda. Plenty of games get away with reusing old content while adding new content on top of it. If Ubisoft could meaningfully add on top of one of their old Far Cry or AssCreed games they could get away with it too.

Your unjustified hatred for TotK is embarrassing. Maybe you should actually play through the game.

>>713351432
Neither has a plot and both have mid as hell gsmeplay.
Without booba, stellar blade would be forgotten like the mid budget ps2 game it is. And wukong without chinese bots wouldn't even be known in the first place, it is like 1 tenth of the game other newcomers like Lies of P are.

>Without booba, stellar blade would be forgotten like the mid budget ps2 game it is. And wukong without chinese bots wouldn't even be known in the first place, it is like 1 tenth of the game other newcomers like Lies of P are.
All of this is true.

>>713368495
Because Conservatives saying that things are degenerate doesn't actually affect anyone. They aren't trying to subvert the hobby and add in a bunch of Conservative propaganda.

Do you base your opinions on the opinions of others? I like pineapple on pizza even though there's a loud minority of people who say it's disgusting. My tastes don't change because other people hate it.

>>713368591
I played it , before the release date in a better quality than on your shitty console.
>plenty of games get away with reusing old content
this isn't just "old content" this is the whole fucking map , most of the combat gameplay , most of the enemies, even the story structure is the same, you fucking Nintendo dicksuck.
I hope they pay you for this.
