I actually thought the collective quality of this year was good, buy I can't think of any one game I'd say deserves to be Goty. Forza may be great, but it's still more or less what other racer games are except shinier. Halo Infinite is fun, but has some problems to sort out. Metroid Dread is fantastic, but plays pretty safe for what this genre rather than expanding it.  The rest don't stand out to me either. None of these games are TLOU, BOTW, Spider-Man, gow quality games.

Never expected it for the first year. But I really think a lot "good" is enough to be exited for a first year even if nothing "great". Last gen we had nothing "great" and only a couple of "good" like ine from each console. Wonderfull start I say. 

By last gen do you mean Wii U/3ds/vita/PS4/Xbox One? If so, you didn't think Spider-Man, Mario Kart 8, Zelda Botw (was a Wii U game originally before Switch was rushed out) were great? I'm sure there were at least some great games.

But yes, I do think this generation is starting off better. Took Switch a while to work through the Wii U Potts, but since then has produced some absolutely fantastic games and PS5/Series XS seem to be off to a great start as well.

I've just said the GOTY contenders. 2020 line up was stronger imo which I guess it's understandable, this is the first year of current gen  

For 2/3rds of them, sure. Are we forgetting Nintendo, or do you view Switch as in the same gen as PS4/Xbone?

Its easy to not think of Nintendo when thinking of a gen. But I guess I meant a last gen as 2014. First year of playstation 4 and xbox1. I wad comparing both first year not the full gen to the first year of this one. Would make no sense to do so. 



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

I see Switch as part of PS4 and Xbone gen

For me it's impossible to not think of Nintendo when thinking of a gen. They make some of the greatest games each generation.

Yep, except now E3 has mostly become this segmented, safe video clip compilation rather than a live show, so I actually find the atmosphere of TGA more enjoyable, especially since you never know what's gonna happen in a live show. We've had some crazy things already happen live in TGA's past so I'm looking forward to more this year lol.

That was such a legendary moment. Whether you agreed with him or not, that moment has been and will be referenced for years to come. I don't even remember why he was hating on the Oscars, I very much doubt it's the same reason I don't watch the Oscars, but what a way to go about that. Seeing Geoff cringe in horror, unable to stop that man was amusing in itself.
