Nah PUBG deserves to be there simply because it is doing some unprecedented shit in terms of Twitch, Steam, etc.

"Best Family Game" is a weird category because I think they just mean "Best E Rated Game" but I took it to mean what game the family would have the most fun playing together

so I voted Splatoon 2 over stuff like Mario Odyssey and Sonic Mania for that category

Also I voted Mario over Zelda in every category they were together other than Best Game Direction

PUBG is definitely a top 5 game of 2017

but it's also not out yet so I don't think it should be there

NieR or RE7 should definitely have that spot

Lol, sure thing.

Also, Hellblade sure has a lot of nominations for a game that, as I understand, was panned pretty heavily.

At least there's been a vocal and deserved outcry against PUBG being in these awards. If Zelda and Mario split the vote and it wins that would be a tragedy.

Also what the hell wins best music holy crap.

Nier Automata
Persona 5
Super Mario Odyssey
Cuphead

Any one of those four would win a weaker year.

I agree with you. I saw that argument elsewhere in the topic so I figured that's probably the main one. Other concerns people have are server problems and stuff.

I mean, I can think of at least a dozen indie games from this year I enjoyed more than Pyre, but it was successful, resonated, and reviewed well. That more successful indie games like PUBG, Cuphead, or Divinity Original Sin 2 resonated with more people this year doesn't mean that Pyre is this forgotten relic.

What does this even mean? Pyre sold way less than any of their other games. Nintendo being one of the most successful studios in general didn't mean that Xenoblade sold a lot, and it got ignored by a lot of GotY awards too.

Honestly I didn't really enjoy Pyre, and I just didn't find it that compelling, maybe if I'd forced myself to play more of it, it would've clicked. But I can see the appeal.

Yeah, over time for me I think I've leaned towards games with more intriguing stories and interesting characters rather than just gameplay. Maybe a 10 years younger Ermine woulda had Mario as my GotY this year, but it's just not what I value anymore.

PUBG not being actually out is a big deal as these rules have been established. Just look at how GB is panicking because the supposed release date is after the awards and they've already stated it will not be eligible if it doesn't release.

I didn't even consider how it's basically total garbage right now because 9 out of 10 games have hackers.

At first they had Fire Emblem Heroes listed as "Fire Emblem Heroes: Shadows of Valentia" and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia as just "Fire Emblem Echoes"

Now they tried to fix it, and they got Fire Emblem Heroes right, but now Echoes is called "Fire Emblem Heroes: Shadow of Valentia" with a picture from Fire Emblem Heroes
