ATTENTION ALL G*MERS The Game Awards: Expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes and remasters are eligible in all categories, if the jury deems the new creative and technical work to be worthy of a nominationhttps://t.co/boXNubjiBP pic.twitter.com/lkfBsNe15Y

Apparently Game Awards edited the FAQ section yesterday to say they are allowing DLC and Expansions to be eligible nominees.
This is an obvious coup to steal the GOTY award from Silent Hill 2 Remake (Geoff Keighley hates Konami, a wildly successful Pachinko and Slot Machine game dev company) or Astro Bot (Geoff is an avid Nintendo 3D platformer supremacist).
This is an affront to G*mers every where and we need to take a stand and show Geoff we are not pleased!

This year was complete dogshit for actual new games anyway, Shadow of the Erdtree deserves the W since Balatro won't win

FF7 Rebirth is my GOTY easily. There's also Black Myth Wukong, SMTV Vengeance, Unicorn Overlord, etc. If we are viewing Shadow of Erdtree as its own game, then heck no, it wouldn't be GOTY. Far too many issues with balance, enemy variety, the story (nobody thinks the last cutscene was satisfying), and large patches of emptiness on the map.
SOTE might be expansion/dlc of the year, but it's not game of the year.

Is the gameplay different from the first one? I couldn't stand the gameplay in FF7 Remake. It felt like an extraordinarily bad Kingdom Hearts game that forces you to character switch a lot and build meter to even use items. It was so fricking bad. I really fricking hate the Remake.

This was my experience. And I never liked ff7 when I was younger, I always thought it was a shitty game even as a kid so I didn't have nostalgia guiding me

You mean Final* Minigames 7?
*minigame may not be final. In fact there is literally no final minigame. The minigames never end. Ever.

If Elden Ring wins, GRRM will never finish The Winds of Winter. This would be a net loss to society as a whole.
Furthermore, FromSoftware games are all unplayable garbage.

When GRRM dies in two years I hope that he has all of his unfinished works and notes cremated along with him.

What are they going to give GOTY to? Concord? Dustborn? lmao, they had to open it up for DLCs, they had nothing else.

It's a conspiracy to shut out Black Myth Wukong
which other than Elden Ring is literally the only game worthy of consideration.

I'd throw in Metaphor: ReFantazio as well.

Shocked nobody is mentioning Metaphor ReFantazio.
It's typical Atlus weeb shit but still great.

That's precisely the problem. Shin Megani Tensei was killed so Persona could harvest its organs. I hate Persona so much, it's literally just shittier, normgroidified SMT. I played an hour of ReFantazio's demo and it may have been good but I literally couldn't control my party members and the game felt the need to beat it over my head that racism is le bad. "Hurr durr how do we let our audience know that our game is a metaphor for racism? I know, name it Metaphor!" I've seen people on 4chud claim that actually all that is a smokescreen for the real message, which is about St. Thomas More's Utopia but I'm not spending $70 and 100 hours to find out if that's true.

Music in Persona 4&5 rules though. No clue about the others or SMT for that matter though.

In feb and march we had helldivers 2, ff7r, Dragons dogma 2 and rise of the ronin. I feel like there was at least one other good game between then and space marine 2 but its escaping me.

I feel like this proves my point. Like really? Those are your examples for the best games of the year? And don't take that as me disagreeing, you're basically right, but holy shit is that WEAK. I know that every year can't have an earth-shattering release, but everything you just named is basically a, "yeah, it was pretty good" kind of game, the type of game that shouldn't even be in the conversation for GOTY because there were a handful of genuinely mindblowing releases. Maybe Wukong is that, but I didn't play it and also didn't see much discourse that would go against the "yeah, it was pretty good" concept.

ehh, i don't think it was that bad for new games but overall it was a bit weak i'll grant you. I'd gladly have Erdtree win though so those stupid fricksticks won't even be able to consider dragonshit the pronouns guard as goty.
