And the Game Award for Game of the year goes to...MIXTAPE!
We're 5 months into 2026 and no game of note has released. TGA is going to be more cringe than usual.
>>739170835Anita Sarkeesian will be presenting the award!
Highguard will win. We hovered around the sun fellow Guardians and they hated us for it...
>>739170835don't even kid yourself, It's gonna be SneedTA6 even if it's a buggy piece of shit at launch
>>739171213If it even comes out this year
>>739170835Ocarina of Time remake will win because GTAVI will just narrowly miss the cutoff due to releasing in the second half of November>>739171072RE9 and Forza Horizon 6 seem like obviously nominations, assuming Forza isn't snubbed again
"Guys, I'm sorry. There's a mistake..."
>>739170835And the country with the best gamers goooooeeees toooo.... close callll.. just 1 point diff haha Isreal. Close call China
>>739171072Honestly this year looks insanely dry after 2024 and 2025. The only two games that I'm mildly interested in are Mina the Hollower and Kena Scars of Kosmora, but that's literally it. There's nothing else of note except GTA6 but I don't consume normieslop and I'm not about to be scammed out of $100 just to have my PS5 melt to fat fucks twerking realistically on cars.Holding out hope that Persona 6 gets announced this year so that I can finally have something to look forward to again.
PRAGMATA
>>739171072not so fast
>>739170835Honestly dont see anything else winning GOTY other than Mixtape. I've played most games like pragmata, crimson desert and RE9 and none of those are good enough for GOTY.
>WHY NOT HIGHGUARD GEOFF?
>>739170835>>739171072>>739171213>>739172729It will very obviously be Dawnwalker. It's BG3/E33 again. That RPG "indie", "underdog" sudden surprise showing AAA devs how it's done, which people like to hype up so much lately. And at this same time it will be very casual and with high cinematic values, just like E33/BG3 were, despite their "indie" background gamers will attach to them (despite devs outright stating they are AAA), which will be the actual reason why it's so successful.
>>739170835It's actually crimson desert
>>739174284Too mid. >>739174093 has it right
>>739174093If anyone's able to deliver the casual high visual production value game it's a group of former top guys from CDPR. I fully anticipate it being a buggy piece of shit because of the small team size though and I don't know that they have the writing chops to totally knock it out of the park a la Cyberpunk/Witcher. Guess we'll see come September.
Crimson Desert will take it easily
>>739170835god, if only this becomes true and exposes this shitty fucking event
>>739172729But all of those games, while not being good on their own, shine next to mistake wtf are you on
>>739174659It won't even get nominated because journos blatantly hate chinkslop
>and the game of the year award goes to.....marathon!post your reaction I wouldn't expect it either, maybe a nomination, it's definitely winning best art direction
I'd be very surprised if GTA 6 didn't win in this weak ass year, shit like Mixtape will be forgotten by november and it'll be GTA fever all the way to the TGAs.
No definite candidate yet. Requiem launched too early and wasn't THAT good aside from all the nostalgia and leon gooningCrimson desert had a rocky launch. Pragmata is good but that's about itForza had good reception but they'll never give it to a racing gameOnly remaining potential candidates are maybe blood of dawnwalker or whatever the name is, and maybe GTA if it doesn't launch in an atrocious state
>>739174659>>739174284It's categorized as gook goonslop, this alone writes it off. Dawnwalker is also action RPG with open world, cinematic values, but more western, with bigger focus on cinematic story, dialogues, characters, dei representation just enough to please liberals, but not enough to completely piss off chuds, romance and more. It clears easily.I will be very surprised if it won't win GOTY awards
Don't sleep on Stranger Than Heaven. It has all the ingredients to be TGA slop
>>739175454marathon?
>>739174659>>739174284Won't even be in the running it got a 77 metacritic
i come from the futuregoty candidates will be>resident evil 9>wolverine>grand theft auto 6 >ocarina of time remake >stranger than heavenocarina of time remake will win over gta 6 because it would create massive waves of seethe and that is funny
The winner is chosen by journalist, so probably.
>>739175813>i come from the future>jeet the saar 6 not delayedSure bro
>>739175284clearly it will be highguard
>>739175872its not getting delayed anymore, you can really notice how half the industry is avoiding the oct-dec timeslot this year and they know more than consumers.
>>739171401Heh
>>739175813Remakes never win goty
>>739171401 it's honestly a contender, it scored very well from critics and users, and it's not a """game""" like mixtape
>>739175973yeah but it is ocarina of time, the absolute king of nostalgia dicksucking
highguard for GOTY
>>739175872If it was getting delayed it already would've happened this month before the big investor conference call happening in 2 days. GTA is gonna start the true marketing next month and it's full steam ahead from there.It will win GOTYIt will be the highest rated game of all timeIt will make you seethe into the new year
>>739174284>>739174659The main reason it wont, not even accounting for the game itself, is because the show is meant to look legit to sell add space. It's a sort of popularity contest. KCD2 lost Best RPG to E33 because even the people who liked it had moved on, there weren't enough diehard fans who'd get mad. The same will happen with CD. There's not many people who'll get vocal about it losing so it's an easy one to ignore.
>>739171072Couldn't be as bad as 2024
>>739170835They should make an award for Game of the century and give it to Mixtape every year from now.
>>739175813tendie c'mon...
