It's more an observation than an actual complain. If the categories represent various aspects of a game and the nominees represent the best examples in each category then the 5 games with the most nominations should be the nominees for the best of the year ... or at least the second most nominated shouldn't be out of the conversation LOL. But that's just logic, I'm not actually going to complain because first we all know 33 is going to win and second personally I never have expectations for that show, I know that what I like may not be in sync with what the committee wants to promote each year. Every time PlayStation wins something I'm genuinely surprised lol. (Minus the obvious ones like Helldiver's best multiplayer game last year that is obvious Arc is going to win this year). |
In the end it's always the prefference of the people picking it, I remember last year the host and organizer himself came out to say he is not involved in the decision process after a DLC that was not an standalone game that you could play by itself was nominated for the GOTY.
Inconsistency is the word here, as you said, by logic it's hard to justify a game that is one of the best in every category it's involved, having more nominations than all but 1 other game, is somehow missing from the overall GOTY list.
Winning is an entirely different thing, I think we all expect Expedition 33 to be the favorite after the reception it got.
