Silent Hill 2 remake was robbed, obviously, it deserves to be in the GOTY category at the very least.

Right there with you!
Not only do I not recognise the majority of the games in each award, having now looked into them I still have no interest in playing any of them!
The only category that I felt I was even vaguely motivated to vote in was "best adaptation", and only because the Fallout show was pretty damn great.
The stunts they pulled last year pressuring speakers to hurry it along, and the increased number of consumerist ad-pushing just made the whole thing feel like the gross piece of shit show it really was all along.

makes sense, balatro has overwhelmingly positive reviews it's very impressive that a game made by one man got nominated
The GotY should not be about games from all categories having an equal chance at GotY. Indie games that are not up to the production qualities of AAA should not be there. That is why you have separate categories, best of indie etc. So that means AAA has bought an advantage, some of you may think that's "unfair". I would just be looking at the graphics, content and gameplay and say that is quite fair.
Yep. I guess they couldnt put a game in there that is barely selling haha
“Game of the Year
Recognizing a game that delivers the absolute best experience across all creative and technical fields.“
It would be very funny if Balatro wins. But honestly, I would prefer that to win over an expansion for an existing game like Elden Ring. At least it’s a new game concept.
Also, Unicorn Overlord not getting nominated for best Art Direction is a massive snub. It's the artistically best looking game of the year other than *maybe* Metaphor. Hopefully it at least wins its Best Strategy category.
Like it was said earlier in this thread, I must just be out of touch. /shrug
That said, TGA has always been sort of a marketing ploy in an industry that's 99% about hype, so I don't actually care enough for even that other opinion to be strong. Like, it's run by the Dorito Pope.
An expansion should be under “dlc/expansions “ not game of the year.

I thought it got nominated for "Accessibility" or something. Probably because of the top surgery scar option in the character creator rofl.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
There should be a club for this feeling haha.

Accessibility isn't really a video game category, it's a category for buildings and the handicapped. It's a created category for consultant groups can maybe get a notice. No real video game categories were harmed with the making of Veilguard.
