it´s funny that some people here say that third-party games suck and are not good enough for nitendo players, but as soon as nitendo moneyhats a third-party game it´s goty before it´s release

I agree that Destiny will probably not meta high enough to be GOTY material, games don't usually win GOTY when they meta less than 90, and several critics who have posted early impressions of Destiny don't seem all that impressed with the game. However, I don't see Bayo 2 being among the contenders either, I don't think it'll have enough popularity as a Wii U exclusive to pull it off even if it does meta well.

No, I think the possible GOTY contenders this year are:

-Far Cry 4 (Far Cry 3 meta'd a 91 and sold quite well)

-Assassin's Creed Unity (Many people think this looks like the best AC game since AC2, which meta'd a 91)

-Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (Borderlands 2 meta'd a 91 and sold quite well)

-Dragon Age Inquisition (shaping up to be the best game in the Dragon Age series so far, and Bioware has consistently proven that they're capable of 90+ meta scores)

-Super Smash Bros. (the last 2 games in the series both meta'd over 90, and it is a very popular series, so it's definitely a possibility)

Yeah, this is probably what we'll see in most lists (though I'm not super sure about Borderlands: TPS being a nominee). Dark Souls 2 is almost guaranteed a spot as well with a metascore of 91, and then some others will show up in various outlets, like Shovel Knight and Hearthstone.

Bayo 2 may be among some contenders for certain outlets, like how Gamespot nominated the original game for GOTY in 2010, but it obviously won't win any overall awards from most (if not all) outlets.

How many times does this have to be said? Let me spell it out for you...

THIS GAME WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT NINTENDO

Every other publisher flipped Platiunum the bird, but when they pitched it to Nintendo, they got the OK. Nintendo did not pay for Bayonetta 2 to not come out on other systems. They were the only ones who wanted it to come out at all. Know what moneyhatting is before you post.

While I do agree that the OP is being a bit too optimistic, I think they're the only one claiming its GOTY material.

Sorry, but this year its between Dragon Age, Titanfall and Destiny.

that doesn´t change the fact that the same users say there are no good third party games and that bayonetta 2 is goty, even without anyone of them playing it, if sega would have wanted a sequel, it would be just another lame third-party game

Destiny isn't winning any GotY with its "story". That's one of the biggest things that people will focus over in these things unless the game is literally structured to not have a story (ala Smash or Kart).

How can Bayonetta get a shot at the title when Super Mario Galaxy (back in 07) couldn't even get a nomination. Mind you that game was the second highest rated game (behind Halo 3) for that year. And what did it get instead? An award for best Wii/Action-game.


According to what? Halo 3 got what, a 94 on Metacritic? That's below Mario Galaxy, in fact there are a lot of games below galaxy, but not a lot above. 

 

And when you go by GameRankings(Why?), Mario Galaxy is the highest of all time. 

I think your argument is fabricated.

Let me correct you, there are no good third party multiplats. Because one way or another, the third parties always seem to give Wii U owners the short end of the stick.

I don't think Bayonetta 2 even counts as a third party game. Nintendo is funding and publishing the game, they may as well have made it themselves.
