None of the Forza Horizon games even being nominated in any of the years is criminal.

a racing game is never gonna be nominated for game of the year, you see mario kart on there? In fact that goes for any sports game.

the GOTY is like the oscars, they usually award a certain type of game, and it's usually has a narrative or single player focus outside of overwatch

If everyone who bought AC votes AC it's winning easily if play votes mean anything.


I really want FF7 to win though...

I feel like nothing can be more generic than yet another story about a zombie apocalypse in 2020.
I feel you but I mean the story inside the setting. The characters. I was more interested in the LOU2 main and supporting cast as opposed to ghost which was really just jins journey as intended to be fair. But lou2 just hit harder. IMO

Ghosts' narrative was so legit it literally made you racist as the game went on :mjlol:

TLOU2 had to jump between perspectives and fumbled trying to get a story across.
