Also, here's something that BLP would find interesting:

There's no Best Shooter category this year!

BotW's music is actually really good, but I definitely wouldn't vote for it over Mario Odyssey or Persona 5 in that category.

Really, it'll be a travesty if Persona 5 doesn't win the music category.

Played three of those nominees. Zelda easily gets my vote, although admittedly I've not played much of the other two.

Re. RiME - that game always had a look about it to me that my intuition told me to not to get too interested. I liked what it appeared to be aspiring to be, but the limited footage they were showing gave me the impression it was going to be style over substance. There were one or two others teased around the same time, iirc, which also smelly rather fishy, and they've bit surfaces. Always trust your nose.

Pretty big change up from last year where Ninty wasn't as prevalent in the thing.

Bragging rights I guess.

@IceClimbers Probably cause there are none

I'm sure there's a new lootbox category though.

Next year should have a category for Best Game at Monetizing its Players.

Now that WOULD be a hotly contested award!

@Octane There's a "Best Ongoing Game" category. Basically an award for GaaS, so close enough

@IceClimbers No best shooter? Interesting.

Call of Duty....er...DOOM....yeah ok fair enough

@YummyHappyPills Well, there would have been 5 different shooters eligible (CoD WWII, Destiny 2, Splatoon 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, PUBG) if they wanted that category, so they definitely could have done it.

I would vote for Zelda in best music. Not many games use sound and music in such an organic way. Kass' theme serves as a guide to find him, all the village themes are memorable, and the adaptive soundtrack to your actions sell Hyrule as more real.

I'll never forget the smile and tear in my eye when I first arrived in the Rito Village and heard the theme there.

The same here. As a Wind Waker fan, this was the goosebumps moment.

Um, Wolfenstein 2, one of the best shooters of the modern era.

The game we're getting on Switch. Seems people greatly undervalued how good DOOM and Wolfenstein are.

A game that sold more copies than actual consoles has to win GotY. Surely!

If BoTW doesn't pick up GoTY, it'll give Cuphead a run for its money. (Also fantastic)

This is Nintendo's ceremony to win. Two of the highest rated games of all time in the same year.

So it's looking like Skyrim Switch may actually be the definitive version of Skyrim despite no mods and that's not even counting the ability to play on the go. Reviews are coming in suggesting it's the most stable version (framerate and lack of bugs).

And LA Noire is the definitive version, basically has full parity with base X1/PS4 versions. Same 1080p, full 720p handheld, only with motion support, HD Rumble, touch support, new over shoulder views, and completely portable at that.

And the PS4/X1 versions are apparently 4gb on disc with 13-14gb downloads. At least, that's what my guy told me, which I assume he's not making it up out of thin air.

@Grumblevolcano @JaxonH Brilliant stuff! Now we just need the big gaming websites to make that clear in their reviews. They won't of course,can't have the masses knowing that the little ol'Switch is host to the definitive versions of these blockbuster games.

@Grumblevolcano What reviews? Links or you got nothing lol.
