Black Myth Wukong and Stellar Blade are my two top games from 2024, but I don't think there is any chance either nab the top award for...reasons you eluded to. Though I freaking loved Astro Bot too and I would be perfectly happy seeing it take GotY. I also played Final Fantast 7 Rebirth to the point of getting sick of it. Great game, but God, did it overstay it's welcome. I'm guessing Rebirth will win it all though. Totally agree on Arkham Shadow, but Metro Awakening could easily take the honors there as well. Though I am hearing that some people were less than thrilled with the way it looks on PSVR2. Shout out to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for awesome platformer/Metroidvania too. Great year for games!
I feel like the consensus of responses are saying rebirth here... I think it'll definitely be either AstroBot or Rebirth. I haven't played Metro yet, but I don't think it qualifies because of its release date. Unless it made it into the window by a day or two? I still want to play Frince of Persia, waiting to buy it at a discount on switch.
@Robc210 Being a 'linear game' is hardly a knock on it. Not every game needs to be a massive, bloated open world game.I actually prefer a more focused game that highlights the excellent combat and progression like Black Myth Wukong and Stellar Blade.
@@frozenninja4030but the progression is too linear in BMW and the combat is rather shallow. The story is impossible to comprehend if you don't know Chinese Mythology and that wouldn't be a bad thing but the game always throws bosses at you so rapidly that most of them turn out to be shallow and far too easy. They lack personality. Also, the game really suffers from bad level design, the insane lighting is so overwhelming that I can't tell if I am on a shortcut back to a previous area or a new path, its head spinning. Finally, this guy is right that the game is too linear but because there's invisible walls everywhere restricting you. Stellar Blade does all of this way better
I’m guessing the six will be -FF VII Rebirth -Astro Bot -Metaphor -Shadow of Erdtree -Zelda Echoes of Wisdom -Black Myth Wukong (Last slot could be a lot of things) Think Astro Bot has biggest chance of winning. 40% chance
@@austindevine248 It's a JRPG made by the creators of Persona 3, 4 and 5. If you're familiar with the life sim and dungeon crawling elements of Persona, it's basically the same thing but in a fantasy setting.
I think astro bot would win because it comes in such a good package, The 60$ price tag looks deceiving, It's more than just a 15 hour long platformer game. It has insanely good graphics for it's development budget, You can speedrun against other people, Find and grind out secrets, Try and learn new abilities and on top of everything, You even get a free dlc which is neat.
@@GameListPlus Well, looking at the games that would most likely be nominated, there really isn't anything like BG3 or Witcher 3 this year. Astrobot, Rebirth, Metaphor, Balatro, Silent Hill 2, Erdtree/Helldivers 2? Nothing that really stands out.
Wukong should get action/adventure Metaphor for rpg. It is simply he best and as a new ip deserves it. Astrobot family ( I agree). Metaphor will take narrative. Goty will complicated but between black myth and Metaphor should be the winners but well that is if the game award made sense lol to be seen.
We shall see how all the predictions pan out at least on the nominations this week. They should be announced on the 18th or 19th. I have to dive into Metaphor!
I think it deserves the nom, maybe not the win. This is The Game Awards chance to show that they are on the GAMERS side, not on the side of Identity Politics police.
@HEISJENBERGGG because it has been the victim of a media hate campaign and the media are who vote for the goty so it doesn't stand a chance at getting nominated. Just look at how IGN rigged their GOTY awards so BMW wouldn't win
Sorry but DD2 isnt an Action Adventure game, and the game was broken when it launched so I doubt it ends up winning anything at all... That category this year is really concerning to be fair. My prediction seems to be Astro Bot despite being a platformer
If final fantasy doesn't win the top prize, I'll be very disappointed. It's not a perfect game, but it's by far the best of the year, which wasn't one of the best years.
Lots of Mid-good but not AMAZING games like we had in 2023. It's going to be an interesting month. Next year we're back to the amazing stuff. Hopefully GTA 6 actually comes out!
@@GameListPlus Nah, I doubt they'd care. Maybe some western Wukong "fans" would care, but most of them are just BMW haters trying to stir something up. The same ones who argued that 90% of the players are from China... BMW is definitely the GOTY or even GOAT for them and no western award will change that.
I read today DLCs are eligible for GOTY. If this is true, shadow of the erdtree deserves to become 2024 GOTY. It's not just an expansion, it's a complete game. I haven't played black myth wukong yet, it's on my list. It could be that this deserves the GOTY but SotE is definitely the best game I played this year and the type of game people will be talking for years to come.
I don't believe that's true, otherwise Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty would have gotten a nom last year. They definitely include remakes as we saw from Resident Evil 4 in 2023. I didn't mention "Best Ongoing Game", which Phantom Liberty won in 2023... So maybe Erdtree will get THAT award. I agree with you on it's quality, if it were a standalone game it would probably sweep the awards. 🤪
I have a sonic pfp so you know I’m not biased, but I would like Sonic X Shadow Generations to be nominated. It’s high quality, I love the music, the art style, and the level design.
@@GameListPlus True, personally there is nothing mind blowing to me this year either. No BG3 or Witcher 3 but I suppose those are games that come out once every few years. To be honest, as much as I'm eagerly anticipating GTA 6 next year, I can still see myself enjoying BG3 much better and considering it the superior game. That's how crazy good it is.
6 nominee: Concord Dustborn Dragon Age Failguard Unknow 9 Awakening SIlent HIll 2 (Fat face edition) Elden Ring DLC (Only thinng legit enough for us to not include Stellar blade and Black Myth)
the issue with this year is that although there have been good games, like black myth wukong, space marine 2, astro bot etc, theres not a single absolute dominant game this year, theres no game on the same level as elden ring or baldurs gate 3 etc, if dlcs were allowed to win, shadow of the erdtree would win
@@v_cpt-phasma_v689 nah. Shadow of erdtree would still not win. Your comment is also stupid. The reason there is no dominant game is because this year actually has competition. 3 at that. It just means that the year of elden ring and bg3 was weaker if 1 game is dominating.

I wouldn't be surprised if it wins the "Games for Impact" award. I didn't mention that one in the video, I didn't wanna delve too far into the Sweet Baby Inc. DEI stuff too much.
Dragon Age was going to be my goty but I think Metaphor takes it for me personally. My wife and daughter have both beaten the Veilguard and are already on their second playthrough.
Nice, I haven't played Metaphor yet. Honestly the discussions on here about the Game Awards keep making me think I might jump into that one after I finish Astro Bot.

Metaphor ReFantazio deserves it the most imo

ide personally say astro bot but ide be happy with it being metaphor or ff7 instead
We can do it , Rebirth fans!
Here's hoping!
Astrobot is soooo good. I knew that the game had potential when I played the free Astro's playroom that came with PS5

Silent Hill 2 Remake is my GOTY
I think it may get a Nom! I have to play it! I never played the original!
Its a remake!
If MS re-release og Halo it should win GOTY aswell?
Rebirth is a lock
I could see that.
I’m guessing the six will be
-FF VII Rebirth
-Astro Bot
-Metaphor
-Shadow of Erdtree
-Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
-Black Myth Wukong
(Last slot could be a lot of things)
Think Astro Bot has biggest chance of winning. 40% chance
Shadow of the Erdtree can't be nominated since it's DLC! Although it deserves it. Much like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty last year.
@@GameListPlus This year, they've clarified the rules that DLCs can be nominated. So potentially it could be nominated.
@ I thought they announced they were gonna include DLC but could be wrong.
@@GameListPlus oh baby it's getting the nomination and then some more
DLC winning Game of the Year makes the whole thing worthless in my mind. Just make a Best DLC award.
What about Silent hill 2 ? 😢
Perhaps it'll get a nom like RE4 did last year!
My GOTY is easily Metaphor Refantazio. It's genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. I hope it at least wins best RPG.
I never heard of Metaphor what is that game about?
