I think Dragon Age will win. Nintendo has a good chance to have a representative close to the top with Smash/Kart/Bayonetta.


2 nintendo games^ Bayo2 is Platinum Games (i dont count that as Nintendo)

Gonna be a lot more interesting than last year.



Last Year:  (this is just a guess, not real numbers)

LoZ ALBW (2)

SM3DW (11)

GTAV (35)

TLoU (130)

:0

TLoU got over 200 GOTY wins last year iirc. Complete domination there and the most ever for any game. This is despite the competition from GTAV (a game with 97 on meta!!)

Its really amazing, so crazy^^^ Jezus imstill shocked tillthis day

Whilst true this is mostly due to the fact that there are more and more sites popping up doing their own GOTYs.
Therefore hardly comparable to previous GOTY award winning games.

Indeed, but it will be interesting if this year's winner will be able to top it. I somehow doubt it.

Certainly not. There's really not the "one" game to own this year.

 

Dragon Age inquisition has good cards to win it this time.

Currently:

Dragon Age: 9
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor: 5
Alien Isolation: 4
Destiny: 3
Super Smash Bros: 3

Not sure what you consider as "major" reviewer, but shouldn't at least Cheat Code Central, CVG and GamesRadar count?

Will you be counting Yahtzee, Jim and TB?


Dunno about the other two, but you should not use Yahtzee.  I like Yahtzee, but his primary goal is entertaining.  Unbiased reviewing is a very distant second.  There's nothing wrong with that, but there is something wrong with taking something seriously which was not meant to be taken seriously.

Wow, ok i just added all of them. This is weird. So many WTF? (not games, reviewers).

Is this why TLoU got like 200+ wins? Jezuz

Yahtzee's reviews are serious. You just need to use the right filter because at the end of each review you will know what he really thinks about a game.

He will always say what he likes about a game and then indulge in the shortcomings, which is his thing. But the games he will recommend(after ripping them apart) are always good. I would trust his recommendations over most "serious" review sites.

Is this list of best and worst games really less valid than any other list?
