I believe it'll come down to Bloodborne, Halo 5, and MGSV.

If Xenoblade lives upt to its potential, I think it will nab some GOTY awards. But MGSV and Bloodborne are currently looking like huge contenders. Batman maybe, but I don't think that's as likely after their little messup with the last one. And there are wild cards like The Division and such.

But let's just settle one thing right now: if BGS announces TES VI at E3 launching this fall, we all know they'll nab the big ones xD

XenoBlade, BloodBorne, and The Witcher are the best.

Halo and Splatoon are amazing, but i don'y think will become the GOTY.

Never played Batman, and IMO Metal Gears is overvalued.

My thoughts exactly

Honestly I don`t think X will even make in the top 5 contenders for GOTY. Not saying X is bad, but these games are all huge games as well, and likely more well liked than X by a large margin.

I`ll still enjoy X though ; )

Dance my pretties!

I'll do you one better. I think XCX might claim game of the generation.

As far as other contenders go, I think Bloodborne, The Phantom Pain, and Arkham Knight have the best chances. Splatoon should be excellent, but I'm unsure it will be as special as the others. After the poor showing that was Halo 4, I don't have much faith at all in Halo 5. I've yet to play any of the Witcher series, so I can't comment on that with any confidence.

and you won't why people are critical of Xenoblade...

It's going to have lower scores than the first, because it actually has hype and attention. It won't surprise people so it's going to under the microscope far more.

For the list, I don't think Splatoon or Halo 5 are real contenders. Batman may be much stronger than people give it credit for.
