Commented on the news article already but I wish they had at least one Guardians actor nominated in Best Performance. But I guess it's hard to pick just one rep from it when all the characters are voiced so well. Other than that the nominations seem mostly fine, though it is hard to argue either way for the 6 goty nominees when so many games had a similar critical reception this year. At the end of the day, it's hard to argue Forza didn't deserve more.

I actually thought the collective quality of this year was good, buy I can't think of any one game I'd say deserves to be Goty. Forza may be great, but it's still more or less what other racer games are except shinier. Halo Infinite is fun, but has some problems to sort out. Metroid Dread is fantastic, but plays pretty safe for what this genre rather than expanding it.  The rest don't stand out to me either. None of these games are TLOU, BOTW, Spider-Man, gow quality games.

Never expected it for the first year. But I really think a lot "good" is enough to be exited for a first year even if nothing "great". Last gen we had nothing "great" and only a couple of "good" like ine from each console. Wonderfull start I say.
