Starfield wasn't in contention

 

[Hugare]

It was cemented even before the game was released due to hype alone

The game sits at a 96 MC score. No other game is gonna touch it.

Maybe BOTW 2 would (ugh), but it was already delayed

You'll have people saying their own personal picks here, but its already settled

 

[Magic Carpet]

I was waiting for late 2023 to play Eldon Ring on sale. But with the Starfield delay Im just going to drop the money on Eldon Ring Right now.
I know Im gonna suck at the game but Ive got the entire rest of 2022 on Series X to try.

 

[PrimetimeKnight]

PrimetimeKnight , I was being serious!

I like Xenoblade too but I just have a hard time believing it's actually a GOTY contender. It makes me laugh, if Matrix were here he'd laugh too.

 

[Chronicle]

With starfield and Breath of wild 2 being delayed to 2023, and no news about God of war ragnorak, the cements elden ring goty title.
It was fun while it lasted.

So where is the official announcement?

Oh it's your opinion.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Nah Horizon Forbiden West for me ( so far)

 

[GymWolf]

Sure thing buddy.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I'm not 100% positive it'll be the GOTY with the games released now, let alone if God of War releases.
You never know what the judges will care about the most.
HFW is the best graphically open world game ever made, uses current gen features, and has some great acting.
Those are all things lacking in Elden Ring. I still think it'll be Elden RIng or God of War, but it's never a sure bet on what the judges care about.

 

[SlimySnake]

This game is going to be the BOTW of this gen. FFS. I was hoping Starfield would show everyone what a truly original new IP next gen game looks like and expose Elden Ring for the derivative last gen game it is, but alas we are going to be comparing it with other derivative last gen games like Horizon and GoW.

Dark times.

For Xbox maybe.

And probably as overall GOTY too, because this year PS will have several exclusives as GOTY candidates so Sony fanboys will spread their votes, MS fanboys won't have Starfield to focus their votes there and will focus on Elden Ring and the Nintendo fanboys won't have Zelda to focus their votes there so will be spread too.

And well, GoWR will only be delayed in your fantasies.

 

[Zeroing]

This is what I call celebrating too early! We do not know what else is coming/how they will be received

 

[Aesius]

ER is a fantastic game but there's still room for improvement. It will end up being the Demon's Souls of FromSoft's open-world offerings. Their first attempt at a true open-world game was a grand slam but they will refine the formula further.

 

[skit_data]

Probably, but I wouldn’t say it’s clear cut and done already.

 

[NickFire]

Still too early to call it. But it’s got a pretty comfortable lead right now.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

I know I'm going to get ALOT of flack for this...

But what about?

The cynic in me keeps reminding me that this is WB and there going to screw it up by monetising it horrifically, but... what if they don't? I mean I know previews are there to build hype but their showing was really impressive, even for a bitter old cynic like me.

This gunna be a solid 7/10...no where close to a game of the generation like elden ring.

 

[ClosBSAS]

We are not even half way through the year. You are so naive!

Or maybe you are just too hopeful another game is gonna dethrone elden masterpiece

 

[Codes 208]

For Xbox maybe.

>implying sony fanboys dont play elden ring

 

[BennyBlanco]

Game of the gen most likely

 

[kyoji]

You guys really need to get off the elden ring koolaid, its a good game, great even, but game of the generation? LMFAO its not even the best in the souls series, and has a laundry list of issues.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

I'll tell you after I play Return to Monkey Island when it comes out later this year...but at the moment Elden Ring is my #1 game of all time.

 

[Woody Nvincible]

No, it's not. My goty is Horizon. Don't care about journalists awards, I have my own opinions.

Hey alright, amigo. Found Char's account.

 

[bender]

Windjammers 2 is the best game to come out this year.

 

[Jormatar]

I trust in God of War. It will come out this year. It has to.

 

[Neff]

Bayo 3 is gonna stealth this crown, I can feel it

Loved elden ring until endgame.

Yeah I wasn't completely happy with it, to the point where the final third was such a drag that it tainted the rest of the game. It outstayed its initially eager welcome and the end boss gauntlet was shockingly anti-climactic and dull. At that point I was just sick of it and glad to stop playing. When it was good though, it was really, really good.

It's a bold experiment which I hope pays off in an ideally tighter, less repetitive, and more varied sequel.
