in this year of amazing games where each one of them has at least one thing they're super passionate about, i really don't see mario winning. it'll be #2 at best. dan, its biggest fan, will 99% have it as his #3 behind zelda and pubg. no one is passionate for it the way some of them are for pubg, for zelda, and for nier. jeff made it point a last year that he'd rather reward stuff that people are in love with rather than games most, if not everybody, "merely" likes. it'd be the safest, most by committee winner, and i think jeff won't be for that. this ain't 2014!

only way i can see mario winning is if they all get tired arguing whether or not nier deserves to be over zelda and mario or if pubg should be considered at all.

which hey may be a real possibility!

but also hell yeah the fact that fucking nier automata having a shot at the top at all in this excellent year is just very good. love mgs but goddamn brad's burn is nuclear. dan sucks at making arguments, which is made all the more apparent come goty time, and he's going to run up against mr. filibuster shoemaker himself when nier gets brought up, not to mention alex, ben, jason, and probably vinny and jeff too.

gonna be up to abby, but i can see her conceding this because it's still her first time and she might be burnt out by that point!
