Forums - Gaming Discussion - [IGN] GOTY Nominees

Only Nintendo's games deserve GOTY this year.

 

Smash, Bayonetta or Mario Kart take your pick.



Around the Network

No Dark souls 2? From the AAA titles I've played that's still by far the best (Haven't played DA:I or FC4 yet though) Also missing Alien Isolation and Wolfenstein The new order. Both refreshing returns to the roots of survival horror and single player FPS gameplay.

Well actually I have played DriveClub far more, so addictive with it's perfect racing model. That is my personal goty, but racing games are too niche for goty.

From that list I would pick Transistor.

Definitely Dragon Age Inquisition hands down. It blows all the other games listed out of the water (no pun intended)

IGN has announced their nominees for 2014 GOTY. The winner will revealed Jan, 12th.

- Dragon Age: Inquisition
- Child of Light
- Shovel Knight
- HearthStone
- Shadow of Mordor
- Super Smash Brus U
- Transistor
- South Park: The Stick of Truth
- Sunset Overdrive
- Bayonetta 2

What do you guys think of it?

To make things more interesting, let's make a game out of this.
Repeat the following 4 points and add what game you think enters that category:
My picks: (Your favorites)
- Acceptable: (You don't think it is the GOTY, but it is a great game nevertheless)
Would be disappointed: (The ones from the list you don't want to win / don't think they deserve)
Missing on the list: (The ones you think deserved a spot)

My picks:

Shadow of Mordor

Transistor

Acceptable:

South Park

Sunset Overdrive

Would be dissapointed:

Child of Light

Missing from list:

The fact that Wolfenstein: The New Order isn't on here is complete BS.  Was an incredible game.  Played through it completely 3 times without even turning on another game.  Absolute must play.  Also, a lot of people seemed to not really like it, but the Evil WIthin could easily be a nominee though it shouldn't win.  I thought it was a great game.  One of the most uncomfortable games I have ever played through.  SUPER tense.  Shadow of Mordor should get it.  (I don't believe in giving Nintendo GOTY awards just on personal pronciple.  That being said SSB and Bayonetta 2 were both great games.)

You've never played Bayo or Smash. So opinon = Invalid.

TLoU Remastered so far for me. Though Sleeping Dogs Definitive is a blast right now. Can't wait to try out GTA5 PS4 though that may take the crown for me. Still haven't gotten to Tomb Raider Definitive so that is also a viable candidate.

I played the demo of Bayo and own Smash but am not into RPG like Dragonage and so for me Infamous Second Son wins hands down!
