Every game does.

Maybe in a personal opinion, sure, but in any other way its just... no Skyrim was GOTG to many and that game was just an awful buggy mess. Clearly people need higher standards. Only then can Splatoon win.

Hmmm... yeah, no. It's really not worthy of any major gaming award. 

It sure is the first experience of its kind on a Nintendo platform but for me it doesn't feel that different from many other experiences I've had on the PS3/360 and PC.

Neither are the games that get those gaming awards.

"ohh my gurdddd, it's open world, never seen something like that, 10/10 goty!"

Why bother with terms like Goty or GOTG when people only think open world games should get those awards.

Sure, but I mean it has too many to be gotg

I don't care for open world games. I'll agree Skyrim didn't deserve it. But I really don't see any point in engaging me, Samus. You'll not convince me that Splatoon is a GotY or GotG game.

How do you explain Skyrim then? That game has more bugs than Splatoon has sales.

I think most people believe that a game has to be big and mature to deserve a GOTY/GOTG, while fun, different and "little" games are dismissed quickly. I'm not talking only about Splatoon, some user said before Rocket League and I think it can be a contender too. Or Shovel Knight, To the Moon... etc. etc.

Faults are more than bugs and glitches. They can be found in design choices, gameplay, content, etc.

Well I don't have to explain Skyrim because that was never goty for me. I really like the series, but e en with the bugs, the combat was the weakest part of that game. It shouldn't have won goty awards that year imo, but obviously a lot of people thought it should. As for Splatoon  it just doesn't do enough for me to get above an 8/10.
