I'm expecting Uncharted to win GOTY, or overwatch?  

[Aura7541]

I don't think Dragon Quest Builders and R&C are "family" games, but okay...

That said, a lot of PS4/PS exclusives have been nominated which is pretty cool.

[Legend]

Uncharted should sweep even though it wasn't that good.

The Witness should win indie game but I doubt it does.

I should honestly find you in colorado and slap you for that first sentence!!!  

It's literally my favorite game ever.  But i loved the slower sections and didn't feel like the pacing was bad at all.  Not to mention the gunplay was a ton better than the previous 3 games and many other games for me.  

But i'm still gonna slap if I ever see you!!  

[ethomaz]

Uncharted 4 is my choice.

I really want to try INSIDE

U4 just disappointed me so much with story. Tons of incredible scenes and moments but as a complete package it didn't work imo. Uncharted is my favorite franchise by far so I still think U4 is great compared to other games: it's just not great compared to Uncharted.

I had similar feelings about Uncharted 4. In some ways, I think it stemmed from me having played the earlier games. So in 4, the story felt almost systematic and repetitive, where you could look back to the previous games to tell how each part of 4 would unfold. I could also tell that I was beginning to experience fatigue in regards to beautiful scenery and vistas. Back in 2, when I first saw the mountains during the peaceful Tibetan village scene, I was in awe. But with every game in the series afterwards, as well as other companies also producing similar vistas, I just don't get the same sense of majesty. It's just become too routine for me.

The Game Awards will deliver more gameplay, less CGI thanks to No Man's Sky - Polygon

[Ludicrous Speed]

Nice to see TF2 getting some love. Just finished the campaign, it was fantastic. Amazing level design.

[BananaKing]

Hope it has Doom-like legs because I hate to see TF2 fall victim to EA's irrational bloodlust for annihilating COD.

[Raven]

Hope it has Doom-like legs because I hate to see TF2 fall victim to EA's irrational bloodlust for annihilating COD.

Considering that Activision is doing just fine annihilating CoD on its own.

[Dr. Pezus]

Uncharted 4 the win!
