I wasn't expecting BG3 to mop the floor with TOTK last year, so I expect the Elden Ring DLC to win it.
Not that it deserves it, but the Media gets wet just by hearing the From Soft name.

Here come the tears....
Imagine unironically writing that article. It even admits in the article it released to mixed reception. How can you call a game that got mixed reception "snubbed" for GAME OF THE YEAR? Fucking amateur hour.

He does bring up a good point with bolded. I'm not really complaining, but it's really weird how Wukong managed to make the cut over games like UFO 50, Tekken 8, Infinte Wealth or Animal Well, despite having relatively worse critical reception than all of these. What's going on there?

I think it comes down to Wukong being received way better with players than critics, and how huge Black Myth was when it released. That's just my guess.

If Geoff is smart he will ensure that BMW wins. By the end of next year he will be hosting a new annual show in China and will speak perfect Mandarin.

That honestly just supports the claims that the event is purely a popularity contest and should be something for Geoff to address; probably easier said than done, I can acknowledge that as well.

I haven't played Balatro yet, but I have heard nothing but praise for it, so I don't get this weird attitude against it. Should have more of an issue with something like Super Mario Bros. Wonder getting a nom, IMO.For comparison, the goty nominees last year were
This year: a dlc, a poker game, the second part of a four years old game, ... this year sucks ass.

Japan is sweeping all the big awards this year. Count on it
Asia is saving gaming right now.

I knew it shadow of the erdtree would make it in. You can't ignore this. It's massive, and had a lot of things to do, many secret areas to explore for a "DLC". It can beat many full priced games released this year and even last year. Those who are mad should deal with it and suck it up.

People are really mad at The Game AwardsTM
to me, this is more about "gaming media" feeling attacked, out of touch and being irrelevant.
It seems every year, people watch the show and then complain about how is more like an ad show than an award show.
can "gamers" unite and make this another rare incel victory?

Ignoring the DLC nominated to goty controversy, the list looks like a semi victory since the woke infested DA: VG was not included in goty and no major awards nomination for that game. And Stellar Blade and Wukong got there well deserved nomination in other big categories.People are really mad at The Game AwardsTM

Why does Dorito Pope hate Unicorn Overlord?
Also anyone shitting on Balatro in this thread has not played it, it's great.
As for expansions that were GOTY nomination-worthy in the past:

There are too many categories overall, but I agree with this.

It's more about the perception of the show rather than the awards themselves. (the current situation could play a factor in the sentiment afterwards too)
But i can see how the show could overcome the controversy and the yearly reception if a couple of things happen:
1.Sony shows new games
2.Xbox announces PS ports

Worst year in gaming history and they are doing a 3 hour live show to award it.
A complete embarrassment.

You already have multiples of that.
Speaking of Sony and xbox ports. I hope too see a new GOY trailer, Wolverine or the new game from Bluepoint and Neil Druckman. For third party GTA 6 new trailer and launch date is a long shot, but who knows? As Xbox ports to PS, well, I hope its Gears and Stalker 2.

the rumors say that Sony was going to do something or use The VGA to announce games and the Xbox port being Forza Horizon. but who knows

To then bounce back next year with gta 6 and ghost of yotei. Its almost like the industry is cyclic.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The potential of a Resident Evil IX announcement trailer is my only main interest in the show at the moment.

HA true on so many levels.
Also, yeaaah dont like how DLC's in the goty lists now... feels weird.
With this kind of logic every ubisoft bloatfest should be a goty contender then.

Surprised and delighted to see Balatro there, I hope it wins.
Sorry but Elden Ring shouldn't be nominated. It's DLC, and not a game, you have a separate category for that.
Wukong, I haven't played and I'm sure it's good, but cynically I wonder if there's something weird with that nomination. Seems like past years have been heavily sponsored by Chinese companies (specifically Tencent/Level 10). Maybe I'm just being mad ignorant though.
Was Infinite Wealth robbed?
My money currently is on Metaphor but I think Balatro has a real shot.

Well, that and to generate more traffic. In any case it's there just for the purpose of making Keighley more rich, it's obvious that it won't win anything.

Didn’t take long:
There was one big snub in the Game Awards nominations
TGA’s voting jury delivered a well-rounded list with one very glaring exception

You should ignore the GOTY awards completely, soley because they don't even bother nominating games that came out later then like October 15th. So nearly 1/4 of the years games just get written off. No nominations even possible for:
Dragonage
Call of Duty
Indiana Jones
Marvel Rivals
Dragon Quest III Remake
Stalker 2
Lego Horizon
and lots of others
Also zero nominations for Persona 4 Remake and Unicorn Overlord.
It was a fun thing when Baldur's Gate 3 won best game last year, but you really can't give the awards a shred of credibility.
