Ah, a worthy adversary to Fallout 4 when the Game Awards roll around and all that starts going on. I was worried that with Zelda and Uncharted 4 delayed that Fallout 4 was just going to walk away with all the rewards like it was nothing. Now we will have a real battle this year!


The Witcher 3 was and is worthy adversary to Fallout 4 and we don't know if Fallout 4 is even going to be all that great to be honest.

Almost forgot about Witcher 3.  It will put up a fight as well, no doubt.  However, Fallout 4 taking a sizable chunk of the GOTY awards is a pretty safe bet.  Ever since Oblivion, Bethesda Game Studios RPGs have done it every time.  Oblivion, Fallout 3, and especially Skyrim.  That's why I was implying that it takes something like Zelda (another absurdly awarded franchise) or something extremely good to pose a threat.  Right now I would say the contenders are Bloodborne, Withcer 3, Metal Gear Solid V, and Fallout 4.  Aren't many games other than those I could see competing either because of uncertainty of quality (Halo 5 (NOT saying it will be bad) for example) or lack of reach (Xenoblade Chronicles X, for example).

Called it, said it would have a equal or greater score than MGS4.

Well I guess the GOTY is pretty obvious right now. 

Looks very good tbh, I hated MGS4 but for what I have seen and read from this one sounds way more fun to me, I might get it.


its the obvious GOTY fighting with bloodborne because nintendo games dont count, so id say you're pretty spot on here.


its funny cuz in your opinion non nintendo games cant be contenders ;P

Also, you forgot about the witcher 3

that is absolutely not true. I have been a huge fan of games on other platforms in the past. i currently am too, it just is on a much smaller scale. i thought the ps3 and 360 were way more exciting compared to their next gen counterparts.



Expected, very excited for this :D

sry but i cant see that based in your comments, and about your statement aboput the 7th gen consoles vs current gen, i completely disagree.... Come on man, lets get real, we didnt get this many "Goty" material at the beginning of the last gen so i dont know what are you talking about :/. The first 2 years of the current gen hasbeen better that the 7thgen counterpart and thats not an opinion, its a fact!

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, Halo 3, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Bioshock, and more all came within the first two full years of Gen 7 (2006 and 2007).  And Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess was a freaking launch title for the Wii.  Not saying the 8th gen has been bad at all, there have been some good games, but you could easily make an argument either way.  Gen 7 had a pretty darn good start.

In 2007, we had Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, BioShock, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Super Mario Galaxy, Uncharted, COD 4, Super Paper Mario, WarioWare Smooth Moves and i loved every single one of those games and poured my heart into all of them. There were also a bunch of RPGs on the 360 at the time (Eterinal Sonata, Lost Oddyssey although that came out in early 2008, Blue Dragon, Elder Scrolls 4), and I love RPGs so that is just a personal thing for me.This shit was groundbreaking in 2007. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of stuff happening in 2015. 

Based on my comments and what you see, it doesn't really matter to me because I know my history with the PS3, 360, Wii and I loved all three of them. And the leaps and bounds that were being made in games at the time was just so exciting to me.

edit: in fact, 2007 was SO good that I remember Uncharted not even being a GOTY nominee from the biggest sites. That also goes to show what I said earlier about how biased the industry can be when it comes to GOTY contenders and how it is a giant popularity contest. In 2007, the biggest sites who named their GOTY, all the nominees were 360 and Wii games.

It's gotta score high,its kojimas last MGS game. They won't let him go out on a bad note. Just gotta wait for my collectors to ship now :O


I bet Shinji Mikami is extremely pissed right now with how bad The Evil Within scored despite being his last game as a director.


He's not on Kojima's level in terms of hype and prestige.  Especially how bad everyone feels for him at the moment with the konami/kojima thing going on.

To be honest, I thought it was going to be impossible for a current gen game to score at least 95 this gen. I am glad to be wrong.
