hard for me to say exactly with fallout 4 and halo still not released,but if i had to pick a game for me personally, id say Bloodborne as my personal goty.  I don't hate MGS V,but it just doesn't seem really worth it as a game in general. There's really hardly any story and most of the missions are just copy and pastes of each other,doing the same thing over and over. It reminds me of just going in the straight paths and fighting monsters on FF13,that's how repititious it has gotten

Now when story elements are actually taking place in MGS V,it gets really interesting,but story elements in the game are too far and few in between and barely take place at all and its a shame.

Splatatatatatatatoon!

On a serious note, I think Bloodborne, Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 will win some of the many goty awards, as well as MGSV. Just like GTAV, TloU, 3DWorld and ALBW won various goty awards out there. But I think the main goty will be Metal Gear's...

I will be surprised if Fallout 4 doesn't win more. MGS is a japanese game and most big english gaming websites are american, so its usually an american game that gets the most awards.

As for who deserves the title, its something each one of us decides upon.

I have lost interest in MGS after 3 and 4. Still enjoy rising, but i'm not interested in more prequals or wrapping up of a story i already know how its gonna end.
Fallout is a totally new story, so chances are that will win my GOTY. Though theres contender Xenoblade X and who knows Persona 5.

Yes it is, in hype land.

I vote for Xenoblade X, but unfortunately it has no chance.

USA + Canada is much bigger than Japan. Japan probably makes more good games relatively speaking.

Splatoon (let's be honest, it would probably be 90% on metacritic if it was reviewed as it is now), Super Mario Maker, MGS V and Bloodborne are some of the best games this generation (and I'm just listing games that released this year). Xenoblade Chronicles X and Persona 5 also look promising.

I'm just adding on to your posts because some people might misconstrue it as "Americans make better games".

But Japanese games are usually aimed at Japanese gamers and they do have different taste than Americans. So you can't ignore the bias when most GOTY awards are given by American sites.

Thats the nature of the beast. When the biggest market was Japan, japan would win most awards aswell.

It will probably be the GOTY for the majority of the press, except if Fallout 4 is a HUGE surprise.

But i don't think Fallout 4 can be so great....we will see.

Still have a whole quarter to go...
