I find amusing that they nominated Jump Force, considering how of a shit show that game has been since day juan.
And of course those fuckers will ignore the GOAT Kill la Kill If, since it is too sexy for them, smfh
VG Awards personal want vs. expectations on nominees, Mostly want to see how many I get right on expectations
Narrative: Havenāt really played any of the games in this cat unfortunately, but Iām expecting DS to probably take this.
Best Art Direction: Want LoZ: LA remake to win but thatās the only game I played in this cat, itās probably going to DS
Best Music: Want Cadence of Hyrule or DMC V to take it, Iām expecting Cadence to take thisā¦yes I know thatās crazy with DS in the running.
Best Performance: Donāt have a hat in thisā¦I thought Laura did pretty good as Kait in Gears 5, but letās be honestā¦we know Norman is going home with this and if it aināt him then itāll go to Mads Mikkelson.
Games for Impact: Donāt have a hat in thisā¦itās probably going to Life is Strange 2.
Best Ongoing game: Donāt really have a hat in this but I kinda want Final Fantasy to winā¦but Iām pretty sure Fortnite is taking this.
Best Independent Game: Want Katana Zero, Itās probably going to Goose Game though.
Best Audio Design: Want REmake 2,ā¦itās probably going to DS and if not DS then probably CoD.
Best Role Playing Game: Why is Monster Hunter in this cat? Thatās weird to me. I liked KH 3 but I know it wasnāt the best RPG this year, Itās probably going to Outer Worlds.
Best Racing Game: Kinda want Crash to win, but Iām expecting FIFA to take it.
Best Strat game: That is awesome that Wargroove got nominated, I donāt think any game is taking this award from Fire Emblem though
Best VR Game: I want Beat Saber to win and I expect it to win.
Best Multiplayer game: Donāt really have a hat in thisā¦Itās probably going to CoD
Mobile: donāt care
Game Direction: Want REmake 2,ā¦Itās probably gonna go to DS
Fresh Indie Game: Want Goose Game, expect Goose Game
Fighting Game: Want Smash, expect MK11
Family Game: Want Smash, Expect Smash
Esports Team: donāt care
Esports Player: Donāt care
Esports Host: Donāt care
Esports Coach: Donāt Care
Content Creator: Donāt Care
Esports game of the year: despite Blizzardās bullshit this year Iād like Overwatch to win, I expect Fortnite to take it.
Esports Event: Would like Evo, expect Fortniteā¦if not Fortnite itāll probably go to League
Community Support: Donāt really have a hat in thisā¦I think Final Fantasy should get it purely on a whim and how that game has been carrying itself since Realm Reborn, again I expect Fortnite though.
Action Adventure: Want LoZ: LA remake, I would like to expect LoZ but fucking DS is in this cat. Hell Iād even prefer if Sekiro won this since both that game and Control Iām fully expecting to get robbed.
Best Action Game: Want Astral Chain purely because this is the only Cat this game got nominated inā¦fully expect DMC V to take it though. If CoD, Gears, Metro or Apex take this from either of those 2 games Iāll be annoyed since theyāre really trying to stretch āactionā to also include āFirst/Third Person Shootersā
GotY: Want Smash, Expect Smashā¦To be honest any of these games could take it and Iād be ok CEPT FOR DS.
Well if I donāt want this to be the DS show I might as well put in some votes to try to upset the balance.
UGG deserves to win best indie!
Best Art Direction needs to go to Gris. That gameās visuals are fucking captivating.
EA published a good single player game with the Star Wars franchise with no microtransactions. Thatās enough for it to get a GOTY nomination.
I havenāt seen Gris in action so Iāll have to check that out.
When Gris debuted during a direct (canāt remember when this was) I was immediately drawn in by its visuals but didnāt want to play cause it seemed like one of those āa story that happens to be a gameā where you do minimal stuff like Flower or Journey.
I ended up picking it up on sale earlier this year and played through it. So good.
Gris is easily one of my favorite games this year in terms of art style.
Really beautiful.

I have been holding out for Katana Zero on Steam because I plan to get a Switch. Itās been on my āto buyā list way too long.
With all thos2 FFXIV noms in there for you Stu might as well nom it for multiplayer as well.
The award show is pointless. Again like Hollywood nothing more than circle jerks. Let me know when players get to voteā¦and ensure the votes arenāt rigged.
You act like COD winning everything every year would be any better lol.
I suppose. Iām only saying XIV out of reputation not out of experience with it. Since Realm Reborn I havenāt heard a single bad thing about it. Nothing but praise and a steady increase in members every month.
Gotta be doing something right.
Smash community will find some way to rig it so that melee wins every dayā¦
Iām just sayin might as well fill your multiplayer spot with the multiplayer game you nomed in other categories to.
Is 14 even in the mutiplay category? Should be, has mutlipler right in the genre name.
Extra
DKC 25th anniversary stuff
It is not featured, no. So Tetris 99 by default. Cause even with the NSO bs itās a phenomal game and a great twist on an arguably a stale genre (puzzles) and a genre thatās over stayed itās welcome (Battle royale)
ā¦actually FFXIV is not in the multiplayer catā¦huhā¦
What is in the multi catagory?
