Well Persona isn't necessarily any more worthy of "GAME OF THE YEAR" and PUBG isn't even a finished game yet

Well its not unfinished game of the year so that seems like just as valid of an argument to exclude it as yours is to give it all the awards because it's popular.
Believe it or not, I actually want someone here to say "You're wrong for these reasons...".
Steam reviews for PUBGI think you're right that it's an industry-defining game. But I don't think that makes it a GOTY. I think a GOTY has to have a certain quality, and PUBG just doesn't have it (not that I've seen, anyhow).
As a crude measure of that quality, look at aggregate review scores. No way in a year with Mario and Zelda, do you give GOTY to PUBG.
I don't even know what PUBG would rate on console. 80? 85?
It hasn't come out yet. So I can't give any game GOTY before it even debuts on console.
I don't know how else to build a case though. When you watch courtroom dramas, the defense doesn't say "In my opinion my client didn't do it, but you're free to believe what you want." They say "My client didn't do it and here's why..." Same for the prosecution.
Believe it or not, I actually want someone here to say "You're wrong for these reasons...". Not "Yeah well, that's just, like, your opinion man."
Also, this is a Game of the Year thread! It's not supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be a slug fest where friendships are tested, and in some cases completely ruined.

Well, why don't you just make the case for PUBG being GOTY, then? Instead you spend a lot of time criticizing and running down other people's choices. Just focus on making your case. Stop being condescending about other people's choices, and just focus on making your own case. Counselor.
Mixed? That doesn't sound good.
I don't see how you give GOTY to a game that gets mixed reviews. Especially in a year with Zelda and Mario, two games that will be among the highest rated of all time. Just makes no sense to me.
Not sure how much stock I put into Steam reviews but when it is sitting there with 55% positive its hard to ignore.
I don't see how that is different than a Hollywood blockbuster that is enjoyable and makes tons of money but is clearly not the best film and therefore wins no awards.
For issues of discussion, I think personal GotY is more interesting. Otherwise it's just a popularity contest. I couldn't give two s***s what "wins" the awards outside of maybe I'll look into it if I haven't played it. For me, as this is an entertainment product, the only GotY that matters in MY GotY...
55% positive. Ouch.
Yeah, very popular game, the industry will chase it. It's industry-defining, in a way.
It just doesn't have the quality you expect in a goty. At least, I'm not seeing it in that review score. I'm interested to see how it fares on Xbox.
If we were to award "person of the year", doesn't it make sense that the award would go to someone like Elon Musk or Rose McGowan (Don't get caught up on that Union. Just trying to make a point), rather than your best friend or mother?
Where is the fun in discussion if everyone is just choosing their best friend/mom?
Giving a public award to a game based strictly on personal feelings doesn't seem right to me. I think we have to include the public when giving a public award.
Yeah, that game was one thing that sold me on VR. It sounds great.I'm wondering what the votes would be like here if everyone played through re7 psvr. I know horror is kinda niche and so is psvr. The 3 people I know on here and 2 that I know personally that have played all consider it to be next level stuff.
What I said? Yes. Or else I wouldn't have said it.Does that check out to you? Does it make sense?
What I said? Yes. Or else I wouldn't have said it.
So it makes sense that a game with no hype around it, a game that looks, shall we say "brown", sold 20 million copies on its own merit AND a game who's concurrent daily numbers dwarf the almighty Dota 2, scored a 55% positive rating with gamers?
That doesn't get your spidey sense tingling just a bit? Come on Andy, you're better than this!
I couldn't tell what you were referring to in my post.
I have no idea if 55 is an accurate rating for the game. I've never played it, only seen it on videos. Not my thing, so I don't pay much attention. If you're saying it's better than 55, ok, I'll take your word for it. Maybe a 75 or 80. We'll see when it reviews on Xbox.

Dota 2, which is arguably the greatest game of all time, has a 5.5 user score on Metacritic.
I agreeWhy is Divinity 2 not a choice for GOTY on the Game Awards? They have it in as best RPG so it not like they are ignoring the game. That is bulls***, Geoff.
So what is it exactly you think you are correcting me on here?
The point stands that the term "nothing to play" does not apply. There is plenty to play. Being able to play it on another system too is irrelevant. It's a slow year for first party. Doesn't matter to me because I have more options than I can responsibly afford... Only Fanboys care about this.
I personally don't have much interest in Sony's first party offerings aside from a few games, and I haven't felt a real desire to get back to them. That's ok, because it's personal preference. I'm glad I have my PS4 for when the ones I do care about come around. That doesn't change the fact that I also want my Halos, Cupheads, Forzas, Gears' and Oris.
You are getting on people for not agreeing with your personal assessment of what others value.
It has an 87% on Steam
until a few weeks ago, when an influx of cheaters stormed the game.
