The Game Awards 2015 Nominees and Categories

Cyan · Nov 20, 2015

I wouldn't be able to vote, most of my played games this year are old ones.

11 played (and completed) games this year for me.
3DS: Xeodrifter, Steamworld dig, Beyond the Labyrinth
PS1: Valkyrie Profile - Lenneth,
NDS: A Witch's Tale, Contact, Okamiden, Valkyrie profile - covenant of the plume, Wind of Nostalgia,
PS4: Broken age (is that a 2015 game?), Uncharted trilogy - ep1 (2015 release, but old game)

currently playing Uncharted 2
tested Dragon fin soup, 14 days free PS+

I wish I would have more time to try a lot more games, and not only the old ones.

MGSV vs Bloodborne for me. I spent over 100 hours on both so it's kinda hard to pick one. I got the PC version of MGSV so I can't play MGO until next year, but Bloodborne's DLC is releasing in FOUR days. If the DLC is at least as good as the main game then it will get my vote.

EDIT: oops the cutoff is apparently on the 20th. I really can't decide.

EDIT2: I don't get it. The website says the 24th, but the OP says the 20th...

I want Splatoon to win best shooter so badly as well. The replay value of that game is through the roof, especially with the outpouring of new content released so frequently: for free.

I feel mario maker is only in there because they didn't have a wiiu/nintendo game to put on the list

anyway seems its between bloodborne and mgsv, if fallout 4 wasnt such a bug laden mess than maybe it could get goty

Too many games, so little time to play them.

As much as I wank over Souls games, GOTY for me is stuck between Witcher 3 and Fallout 4.

I loved Witcher 3, definitely felt like an all around great game. But I'm also spending a ton of time on Fallout 4, and as much as I don't like some of the changes I'm still enjoying every second I play. 3tough5me

Absolutely the same for me, Gwent alone was a freakin time sink just for being a great card game within the game.

They're both enormously well crafted, story driven, open ended experiences that should seriously be the standard for how games are made and it's really hard to pick which one is freaking better.

That being said I think I AM leaning more towards Witcher only due to the fact that I like the fantasy aspect over the post apocalyptic. That, and I'm still not quite done with Fallout to definitively say if it's better

EDIT: Although either way... Metal Gear solid takes second for me. Also a phenomenal game. Such a hard choice this year...

It's been such an exciting year for gaming that it's really hard to pick the best games. Titles like The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, Halo 5 or MGS V only come out every couple of years and due to the next gen roll out they were clumped together into a bundle of awesome. Even I can't tell which I like the best, it's just been an excellent time for gaming and a horrible time for wallets.

Best Indie: Undertale
Best Narrative: Witcher III | Personal Pick - Tough one but probably Undertale again, some truly hilarious and entertaining writing in that game.
Best Performance: Doug Cockle, Geralt has never been more entertaining to watch.
Best Shooter: Splatoon
Best RPG: From an actual RPG standpoint - Witcher III
Best Family Game: Super Mario Maker
Best Multiplayer: Not a huge multiplayer person but my vote would go to Rocket League
Developer of the Year: CD Projekt Red - What they managed to achieve with TWH and their attitude towards DLC is pretty excellent.
Best Mobile/Handheld Game: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Best Score/Soundtrack: Witcher III | Personal Pick - Bloodborne
Games for Impact: Undertale
Best Action/Adventure: MGSV though I have not played Rise of the Tomb Raider yet.
Best Fighting Game: MK X
Best Sports/Racing Game: Rocket League
Best Art Direction: Bloodborne

Game of the Year: Bloodborne with Witcher III and Undertale being a close 2nd and 3rd respectively.

It's interesting to see games like Undertale and rocket league get so many nominees (and to a degree Splatoon as well). I hope they win: it would bring the attention back to the actual GAMES rather than which games has the best cinematics/marketing budget/testcase for hardcore PC's.

To that degree...mobile and handheld games really should get their own section FAST. Considering the size of those markets, it's retarded they don't already have one.
