Can you believe it, it's that time of the year again. The official Game Awards nominees have been announced, and you can now go and vote for your favourite games of the year.
Here is the link to the website
Some really interesting nominations, so let us discuss this.
The fact that Pubg is mentioned as a GOTY alongside absolute perfect games is a travesty. Never has a game been this least deserving of being nominated for GOTY. I hope that is loses by a land slide!!
Well it is the most played game on Steam and not just by a little bit by more than double the second most played game. So many Chinese apparently started playing the game that it led to an increase of Windows machines in Asia and led to Steam stats being completely destroyed.Quote:

So it did do something right.
Oh, it's made a big impact, of that there is no doubt. But inpure quality, making it the best gaming experience you can have this year, absolutely not. Not even close. It was chosen for this award just because of its impact, not it's quality.Quote:

Dammit, don't come to an emotional outburst with logic and nullify my feelings...Quote:

“While I would love to win it for the team, I think this year there have been far better games.” Greene specifically called out The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn as “masterpieces of game design and storytelling.”
Also, any one of the other noms can win GOTY and I would be absolutely fine with it. They all rightfully deserve it.
Haha that's nice of him. Makes me want to vote for him even more. He sounds like a standup guy.Quote:

I haven't played any of the game of the year games. How can they let me make a decision like that? It's irresponsible.
