The Game Awards Nominees being announced [Update: Revealed - In OP]

I love South Park to death and was dissapointed by the game. Played pretty meh, and the writing wasn't great. Too much fanservice and jokes recycled from the show, and not enough original jokes. The original jokes such as the finding jesus sidequest were fucking hilarious, but there just weren't enough of them.

Sorry that you were disappointed, but the amount of content and consistent quality in SoT was incredible. The whole story line was original and was some of the funniest stuff South Park has done.
 
I don't care if Bayo 2 wins GOTY. I'm just satisfied that it was even nominated. I thought Wolfenstein or Sunset Overdrive might have a shot, but that's still a decent list.

Well this is uh... one way to present five options to choose from I guess:

Yeah for viewer voted categories what you see up top is the winning game as of now. It shifts.

But why do it this way? It forms a bit of a bias, don't you think?

Btw, I enjoyed the casual style of announcing the nominees! And good luck with the awards in December!
 
Freemium games are games... and they're only going to become a bigger piece of the gaming pie.

They absolutely are. I just don't believe personally that the level of quality of a freemium game like Hearthstone (which is admittedly very high) matches some of this years other offerings that have little to no presence in the nominations list.

Glad to see no Remaster/Definitive Edition game was under GOTY Category. Speaking of....is "Best Remaster" a new category this year? LOL

Anyways, there will be hundreds of these GOTY awards going out from various sites over the next few months. I wouldn't worry if a personal favorite of mine wasn't on this one.

For anyone that hasn't realized, the size of the picture refers to its current position. 1st being the biggest.

Really disappointing that Kate Welch wasn't nominated for Best Performance. She gave rare depth and personality to a silent protagonist in Roundabout.

Seeing Destiny on that Best Shooter list pisses me off. Then again this hasn't been a stellar year for that genre.

Bayonetta 2 is the only GOTY nominee I've played, and Mordor is the only other one I'm interested in. The rest just don't seem like my cup of tea. I'd love to think Bayonetta has a chance but I wonder how many judges played it.
 

John Harker

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Woa a video games award nomination list that I actually agree with a lot of the top contenders. Well played.

I don't think there was all that much content and I don't feel it was anywhere near the funniest stuff south park has ever done. I liked it, but i felt it wasnt a very strong game. Too many dips in quality, the gameplay was just bad (you can't fuck up QTEs in what is essentially a paper mario game), and too many of the jokes were lifted straight from the show. The South Park crew is used to working in a rush, yet you can never feel it as much in an episode as you can in this game.

This all seems really intelligently put together. Some good prestige choices on the advisory panel, fun nominations (though no 80 Days in narrative is a sin), nice website. Good job, Geoff!

Now everyone please go vote for anyone but TotalBiscuit so I don't have to throw myself into a ravine if he wins.

Where the hell are Halo 5, Zelda and MGS V in Most Anticipated Game of 2015 list??? This is BS.
Making room for real contenders, like Evolve! A game which will be forgotten four days after release, and long before if L4D3 is announced beforehand.

Keighley, if you're listening... Can I write in my own nominee for most anticipated game. Xenoblade Chronicle X isn't on the list :-(

same with Tropical freeze ..BEST OST but nominated wtf

To be fair, the best songs in SSB are just recycled from previous games. But the lack of Tropical Freeze really bothers me. Probably more than it should.
