What's this about BotW not having great music? The Rito Village piece (Dragon Roost redux) alone is one of my favorite tracks in gaming. The music is top notch in all respects

Maybe people really want music or bgm every step they make on hyrule, but honestly the sheer sound of just your footsteps and the wind blowing is already engaging for me, it just feels relaxing.

Feels like one of those Ghibli films ;)

BTW, if there was an award for best dub with any Japanese games, then FE Echoes should win this one easily.

Agreed.

The bad things about the golden joysticks is its gamer voted, which means Sales= votes but for categories like best performance and best breakthrough performance this is a bit harsh. Games like Horizon and BOTW have a massive advantage due to their massive marketing and sales so meaning a bigger chance to get votes from those gamers

Melina Juergens performance in Hellblade (which was also her first ever acting performance) was just Beautiful and perfect. Take nothing away from from the other actors but that should of won and I believe it would of if it were judged by the acting performance alone.
