Goty 2025

And Game of the Year 2025 goes to...

Expedition 33 locked it in. I'm curious about other awards though.

Clair Obscur Vs Kojimbo, really

DOOM is certainly not in the running anymore

something tells me Split Fiction is gonna be a sleeper GOTY pick, especially with the TGA voting members

Gonna be between "Kojimbo and his Hollywood Friends" and "Ghost of Side-Shaved Lesbianism" imo.

Marathon!

E33, DS2 or DK is my guess.

None of the Nintendo games will win (and rightfully so) because they're just rehashes of established IP.

It's going to be Half Life 3.

Not joking btw. October release into GOTY sweep

Donkey Kong is made by the main Mario team. E33 definitely isn't a lock.

They already won once so that lowers their chances.

Zelda and Mario win Goty all the time anon.

Donkey Kong Bonanza feels and looks more original than Expedition 33.

They already won once so that lowers their chances.

sure buddy

if silksong does come out this year it'll be between silksong, death stranding and expedition 33
if death stranding is as good as the trailers made it out to be then it might win on production value alone

Oblivion Remastered. Please hold your applause until all Oblivion Remastered awards have been announced.

when's the last time valve made a good game?

There is only 3 real contenders. Clair, KCD2, DS 2.

Portal 2 but Portal wasn't made by Valve either lmao, so they just iterated on an idea.

The best new games I have played so far this year are Haste and Rift of the Necrodancer

KCD2 will win.

inb4 da joos, da moosa

nobody outside of this shithole cares

Should be a pretty good year for games. Every few years a ton of good games come out. 2025 is looking like one of those years.

It's a Mario Odyssey clone.

You can destroy the entire environment and terrain in Mario Odyssey?

Expedition 33 isn't even a good game. People pretend it is because they hate the AAA industry and use that game as a weapon to attack it.

Death Stranding 2

Just like how it was going to win over Sekiro right?

GOTY is going to be either NightReign or Death Stranding 2 and everyone knows it.

The western games that won here are so undeserving

What's a good game if E33 isn't?

Stop asking retarded questions when we all already know that NOTHING will beat this juggernaut of a game this year

Haste

Just like how it was going to win over Sekiro right?

Death Stranding certainly deserved to win. Nobody even talks about Sekiro anymore.

The only 2 games the media will vote for will be E33 and Death Stranding 2.

Red Faction did that 20 years ago

Kojimbo will lose again. The people who vote Jeoff's GOTY seem to consider gameplay above cinematics, which is correct considering the medium.

DK will win

Sekiro was at least a video game. Not a walking sim.

People say its for Clair Obscur becaude they are all manchildren that cant think rationally when the shining new virtual toy blinds them

Death Stranding 2 is going to win the GOTY: everyone and their mothers are praising it already, Keighley is in love with Kojima, all the signs are there.

Im not playing it till a good sale or a ps plus addition tho. My GOTY will be Bananza

Red Faction was a platformer?

exactly DS was definitely robbed but I bet they didn't wanna give it to Death Stranding cause Keighley was in the game

It is honestly mind boggling how good this game looks.

Is Decima a fantastic engine or are the game programmers at Kojima Productions magicians? Or both?

and sekiro is a parry simulator now shut the fuck up

Anything in OP's image, even bland titles like Doom Dark Ages.
E33 is simply not a good game. Its sales were just a repeat of people giving money to the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter out of hatred towards Capcom rather than MN9's actual merits as a game.

tfw nobody ever posts the game you work on

are the DS2 posts on Anon Babble being ironic, can't tell anymore

Assassin's Creed is ass, anon, sorry. I'm sure you did a good job though.

E33 is simply not a good game

jrpg :O

jrpg, europe >:(

Is Decima a fantastic engine or are the game programmers at Kojima Productions magicians? Or both

both, the engine is good but without the right people to use it it would be useless. Kojima Productions are definitely the most talent team in this industry, literally wizards to make this game silky smooth 60 fps on a fucking BASE PS5 look this fucking good, idk what kojima feeds them but my god, insanely talented people

NightReign

I agree with DS2 but having this literally copy & paste multiplayer slop in the same sentence is actually fucking crazy, do better

has Nintendo ever won GOTY?
Nintendo makes the best games, but for some reason critics feel it's wrong to give them GOTY

BotW and Mario Galaxy

no Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

no Hell Is Us

no Crimson Desert

kys tendie, nintendo made nothing but soulless trash the last 25+ years, they don't deserve anything but bankruptcy, nintendo is nothing but a greedy money hungry corporate anti-consumer shithole nowadays

Didn't Nintendo fuck your bussy or something?

Nintendo is god. And they're a bit high on their god fumes.

yea of course it will be silksong, as every year before that)))))

It's already slowing down in the media circles, in a week or two it wont even be brought up anymore. The dev will have to rely on making up xhitter posts no one really cares about and the media will mostly ignore it now that they've been paid and done shilling.
It's now between Death Shitting 2, carpet muncher fiction and silkshit, since its far more hyped up and higher up on the underdog indie ladder than E33.

It really isn't. It's this year's shitpost game.

I grew up with nintendo, SNES was my first console and Donkey Kong Country my very first game, so I wasn't always a hater but long story short, nintendo died with Iwata

I already know that Death Stranding 2 will by my GOTY, and that is honestly all that matters.

all shit

Kojima's Dicksucker Awards

I WONDER WHO WILL WIN

I only like Kojimas old games. His more recent games are too arty farty.

Not Kojima

SOVL

I think its obvious what will win.

not Nintendo AGAIN for sure

I see Kojima is still developing one of his greatest inventions, the Camera.

Why is MGS3 even on here, it's literally just a remaster

I don't really think so. I like it but I don't think it comes close to It Takes Two.

are you a retard? there's nothing in the 3d platformer genre like Bananza. It's a very unique game

Expedition 33 locked it in.

Watch it win absolutely nothing and even lose RPG of The Year award to NightReign.

Good thing Death Stranding has great gameplay and you didn't play it because you are a Brazilian howler monkey and it didn't come out on the stickblock 360

Not even Fromslopers cares about ***htreign

No one cares about KCD2 at all, desu.

Probably Expedition 33. Nightreign should get it because From Software is the best gaming developer we have right now and who treat you as a human.

manchildren

My GOTY? A Nintendo collectathon

Good thing Death Stranding has great gameplay

Nightreign is a roguelike and they are all shit. Entire genre of nothing but shit. It will get no awards.

Red Faction: Gorilla

hades got sucked off massively but I agree

procedurally generated slop

a whole horizon of nothingness

jesus I might as well play minecraft, this game is just a bunch of nothing with 2 hour cutscenes in between

Miyahacki sold out to nintendo and makes nothing but soulless copy & paste multiplayer slop now. What a stupid fucking zoomer retard post, holy shit

Saved pictures of man eating shit

Yep, it's a BR

Still not a single MTX still paying for actual art with superb gameplay. If you can't see this, you're legit retarded and you can't appreciate true art.

Only 5 of these are correct

I didn't believe ClairObscur had it in them, until seeing a super special edition 10/10 from EDGE, I now firmly believe they'll take it.

Witcher 3
BOTW
Sekiro
Elden Ring
BG3

?

Nigga, my most anticipated game this year is DS2, I know and appreciate art when I see it. Nightslop ain't it.

Ah, yes. Sony and Xbox are charity, they do it for the gamers

I didn't say that but they're not even close to being as evil as nintendo. For the record, nintendo is the very reason why snoy and xbox raised their prices....B-BU-BUT TARIFFS... shut the fuck up, it had nothing to do with the orange faggot, even nintendo said that

I only see 4
