Which game do you think will win? Somehow unlike most sites, Gamespot game of the year winner can be pretty different compared to rest of industry. I remember them awarding Demon's Souls in 2009, Journey in 2012 and Zelda: A Link Between Dimensions in 2013 even though games like Uncharted 2 in 2009, Telltales Walking Dead in 2012 and 2013 strong lineup of The Last of Us, GTAV and Bioshock Infinite dominated the most of spotlight.

Personally I think its a battle between Animal Crossing and Hades with Demon's Souls somehow an outside chance for clicks.

TLoU part 2 got a 7/10 so I dont think they will crown it here. The chaos would be pretty amazing to watch unfold though.

*Noticing Xbox published games getting shafted by many publishing. Actually genuinely wondering why, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 average score is higher than some games in the list.

I think the Gestapo will probably mass vote GoT.

It's either Hades or New Horizons at this point as you really can't go wrong with both of them but I'm gonna give it towards Hades that GS will give it GOTY.

Animal Crossing New Horizons, Last Of Us II or Hades.

Ot should be GoT or FF7R. After their Cyberpunk "review" I expect them to give it to the most woke game up there just because TheQuartering exposed their reviewer not actually playing Cyberpunk.

Tough call really. I can see them going with a few options here most notably Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Demon’s Souls. I’m going to go with FFVIIR.

I'm going through tlou2 and im starting to get alot of the complaints about it. The fighting seems highly repetitive compared to tlou1. They just pepper too many of the zombies in locations where I just want to rush through. Its becoming a pita and hassle to go through them, which is different feeling from what I got from tlou1.. Its missing the sense of adventure and the atmosphere of the first game, the purpose. Now its just getting revenge for joel, and revenge is never a good story line. On top of that, they have you play the character that you hate. They completely take out the satisfaction of the game story line when they have you play both protoganist and villian.

Well its still a great game, no doubt. The graphics are also top notch.

@blaznwiipspman1: strongly agree, also playing it ( first time) atm and whilr it’s undoubtedly a great expirence, I ain’t sure I would really call a great game.. and yeah despite a lot of extremely strong world building and character building, the overall story is at best generic and bland...

TLOU 2 has great game play but weird pacing and forced storytelling. My boy FF7 Remake should win. Awesome game play and story, but they may not want to give an award to a game that technically is just part 1 of an episodic adventure lol.

Yes. It sold more than 4m copies in its first 3 days. Dont know the exact details of current but according to NPD, as of november it is the 5th highest selling game of 2020 in NA. Top 5 is:

  • CoD Cold War
  • CoD Modern Warfare
  • Animal Crossing
  • Madden 21
  • The Last of us Part 2

Well storywise its not exactly a remake either more like a sequel and can stand tall as a standalone experience.

I don't know man my guess they will try to go with GoT since it won the players choice and right now gamespot in the dumpster they gave cyberpunk a 7/10 they better just go with the peoples choice at this point and not piss anyone else off.

@ProtossRushX: last time in 2013 when gamespot faced heavy backlash for The Last of Us and GTA V review, they trolled everyone by announcing Zelda as winner of GOTY. Probably just to spite at all the commenters

I got 60 hours out of it, so it's definitely its own game in my opinion.

@Ballroompirate: I dont think TLOU will win but somehow its winning here in this little poll. The hate of it is in the very vocal minority it seems.
