Signs point to No.

Some of you are already proclaiming games that aren't even out as the best of the best... Says a lot about your objectivity. -___-

OP: I don't think Bayonetta 2 will get that award. It will most likely get very good reviews, but if it's not a game made by Nintendo, in-house, like a Super Mario game, then the press hardly ever consider those. And besides, maybe the game will end up being a mess, or a love it or hate it kinda thing.

Even if it gets th best rating of the year it won't become GOTY.

No...........just no.........nope. Not a chance.


Hate to say it like that because it's the cold hard truth. Why? (let me explain to the best of my knowledge/theory).......With all the shit that's been going on with the industry and its journalists/press, and the fact that no game from Nintendo has never been even nominated (Wind Waker and Skyward Sword are the exception) let alone won GOTY. Bayonetta is probably not going to be nominated. I mean...........

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.

I hate to be a buzz kill but with only two GOTY nominations within a 10 year time span, I don't think it will get the recognition, but possibly another "best nintendo (insert platform) game" award. Hopefully it get at least a GOTY nomination.

You're talking about a specific show, then? I think Soundwave means an aggregate or "consensus" goty, as far as that can go.

Yeah, I was wondering that myself.  I know for a fact that Super Mario Galaxy won game of the year in 2007 from both IGN and Gamespot (probably other places as well).


The reason why I brought this up in partcular is because it's well known since there are actuall awards given.  When it comes to (what Mr Kahn said) no doubt in my mind that it wll probably win GOTY among various websites. I guess the aggregate awards didn't cross my mind. It's just that the moment I read the op, I thought of the VGX instead.

It looks deserving of it, but it's Japanese AND a Nintendo exclusive, so...

Why does it look deserving of it, over everything else? Other than the fact that it's on your favoured console?

Perhaps the struggle to make it happen is worthy of praise in itself. Or one man's battle to beat back the tsunami of haters on a social networking site while he should be getting work done / sleeping. Or maybe because it's not on somebody's favoured console.

Well, you and me, we share the same timezone. Now explain me why aren't you sleeping or working at 7:18 am.

The considerable quantity of gameplay released so far looks like it has an impeccable sense of fluidity, scale, and intensity, along with a wonderfully unhinged sense of fun. In other words, like the first game, which was spectacular, but now refined.

Because I don't know the reason for any of these things!
