Once again, it’s easy to see Geoff Keighley’s close ties with Sony. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 definitely deserved to be among the Game of the Year nominees. The campaign is exceptional in terms of staging, storyline, with the variety and care given to each mission, the best Call of Duty in years. If it had been a Sony studio, it would obviously have been among the nominees, but here it is only in ‘audio design’ (which is really the bare minimum, it’s almost an insult). Space marine 2 also deserve to be among the Game of the Year nominees.
Balatro is great in its genre, but honestly, what is it doing there? Same for the Elden Ring DLC, it’s a very bad signal to the industry if a mere DLC can become GOTY! The industry already suffers enough from remasters and countless DLCs, no need to add more. Putting this type of game in competition with original games is not right. Black Myth: Wukong is highly overrated; it has many qualities but also many flaws that, in my opinion, make it ineligible for a GOTY nomination. Astro Bot is a nice game but nothing more, and it’s a real flop in terms of sales. Stellar Blade is a good first game, but it doesn’t belong there.
We’ll remember that Astro Bot is the only first-party playstation game and they put it everywhere, lol.
This ceremony is a joke.
