What are the GOTY contenders?

What do I think the trend-following masses will pick? Probably going to see a lot of variation based on the site, honestly. We'll see a bunch of Smash, GoW, and RDR2 winners.

My personal winner, though, is MHW. Not only is it the best MH to date, but it flipped the script into a truly next gen Monster Hunter and broke that barrier into mass appeal of the western market. In the face of Nintendo fans' doubt, MHW went above and beyond just successful by becoming Capcom's best selling game ever.
