Already my GOTY. Easy. No diggity doubt. This game existing alone is a pipe dream come true. That's justifying enough. This isn't a Shenmue 3 situation, this is Capcom at the peak of its Renaissance. If anyone cares for high fantasy and arcade action, this will be the GOAT. Period.

Now when it comes to journos and Keighly Specials, they will pick something else, because they won't understand just how dope it really is.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

No, because 30 fps on console.

Metaphor looks poised to take it this year.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Yes.

Why?

Metaphor looks poised to take it this year.

Hmm, maybe. Haven't thought about that yet. I don't really know whats coming else this year. Last year i knew because it was filled with bangers.

Metaphor is gonna be phenomenal since I enjoyed all Hashino's games including Catherine.....but its a JRPG, that means chances of winning GOTY in western centric award show is low.

Have faith.

 

[Danjin44]

Have faith.

I have faith that is gonna be fantastic game and I'm gonna enjoy the crap out of it but there is no way its gonna be GOTY in mainstream award show.....I honestly it doesn't make any difference to me.

I never played the first but a lot of people who played it say the first is the greatest game of all time and the second will be GOTY 2024. Why is this?

From an outside perspective it does look pretty good although I am curious about why it is considered "GOAT or GOTY" status. From what i've seen combat looks solid, strikes a fine balance between flashy kinetic anime action game stuff and grounded weighted dark souls style combat and it looks like the AI are competent with the pawn system. Lots of diverse classes, depending on playstyle. Choices in the world seem to matter. Itsuno(DMC lead dev) is working on it which automatically gives it my seal of approval. I will most likely be buying it.

Because there will be only one save. The most revolutionary aspect!

 

[Dick Jones]

It won't be. I played the FFVII Rebirth demo and even though it is mechanically good game, the nostalgia will bring it over the line for GOTY.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Shadow of the Erdtree will be GOTY. If we want to exclude that then, of games we know releasing this year, sure.

[The Cockatrice]

How so?

A lot to say, but I fucking love it. It's the best jrpg on the market.

 

[DavidGzz]

It has a high chance to be mine but idk about overall. I don't even know what is slated for this year.

 

[IAmRei]

For me myself DDDA, is one of few my GOAT, and yes this year, for me, DD2 is my GOTY.

But as far as i remember, the GOTY usually the game i dont like.

So, no, i dont think it will be GOTY by some people. I'm pesimistic, although I will be happy if DD2 wins

 

[MALpractice311]

No. Not a chance. Look, if you liked DD1, great. I'm happy you're finally getting a sequel, but let's not pretend the original set the gaming world on fire. This will be the same situation. Fans will love it, but mainstream audiences won't even know it exists. See also, Armored Core 6.
