Today we are talking about the recently announced 2021 game award nominees. There was always bound to be some heated discussion and debates surrounding this as there always is but this year, something is just not right. Firstly Returnal doesn’t receive a nomination for Game of the Year despite it being one of the highest quality titles released during a weak year. But what’s truly insane is the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 is in the running for best RPG…wtf?

Seems like a joke to me. Here's hoping we get some solid game reveals during this years show, because that's the only reason I'll be tuning in.

Yeah… That's a mess
Cyberpunk? They must have a new category for worst game of the year.
I don't even own a PS5. The only game that has been in my radar this year is mainly Returnal. This game feels unique, and its atmosphere/design feels like something from H. R. Giger and a little bit of Edge of Tomorrow (which is based on a manga). It's obscure and mysterious. You're learning alongside the character you're also controlling. This is my opinion from some gameplay and walkthrough that I've seen. I refrained myself from seeing more because I want to experience it all once when I have a PS5. I understand why some people were shocked for it to not be nominated for GOTY.
Deathloop was pretty shite so not sure how that gets on the list!
Compared to most years, this years list of GOTY games feel very pedestrian, all good games but nothing I would point too & say these are the years best of the best
Not sure why folks take awards shows so seriously, literally nothing more than a marketing sham.
Wtf
Out of these options, either ratchet or resident evil
I wonder why Demon's Souls didn't make it into the Game Awards in 2020 or 2021. Because it's a remake?
Xbox has 20 nominations, more than Sony and Nintendo COMBINED…Xbox DOMINATED 2021
These awards are officially useless🤣
It bugs me more that deathloop is there and returnal not, i mean deathloop good but not the best arcane has done.
Im sorry but returnal was way too fucking hard for me wasted 80$
Haven't played Returnal yet so can't speak for that. Otherwise I think the overall list for Goty is pretty solid. Really glad It takes two made the list.
Returnal been robbed before even being given a chance , some terrible nominations throughout farce of a show this year
This is why I can't take this stuff seriously. I haven't played it but Last of Us 2 looks like garbage compared to the 1st one and I loved Ghost of Tsushima. Now an UNFINISHED GAME (I started Cyberpunk but stopped in the middle of 1st mission until it gets patched out)
Jesus it's kinda sad seeing all this bitching and whining about something that doesn't even really matter. Just cause it's not nominated doesn't change the fact it's a good game. If you liked it then that's all that matters. Doesn't mean you should start bashing other games just cause it's not what you wanted to get nominated. Pre sure half of these companies care more about sales than awards anyways lmao
Hmm.. I don't know. I think Returnal is one of those games that might or might not be picked. Personally it's more weird that Deathloop is in there, but that's me.
I can't believe that Returnal is not a nominee for GOTY. This is absolutely stupid.
So the game awards are a joke and mean nothing this year, buisness as usual then. Lets face it Returnal is not on there because its not easy and does not have a game journalist mode. In regards to Cyberpunk, my husband and I picked up the game after patch 1.2 on the cheap and have not had any real bugs and performance has been great on a high end PC, we both love it but it released in a mess and even if it was perfect now which it is not there is no way it deserves to get nominated for any award, total disgrace.
Both games are trash
Cyberpunk looks incredibly stunning aside with the bugs and glitches
PC makes it very playable and fun
I was totally shocked that Returnal was not included. As stated in this video, industry wide this wasnt an incredibly strong year (that will be next year) but that game not in the running is strange. I'm not taking anything away from It Takes Two but as far as I'm concerned Returnal would have been a better choice (to me). Also, get Cyberpunk off this show. I hate this idea that mess of a game gets credit for awards when if anything it should be in the "Most botched Launch of the Year" award. Anyway, im sure the show will be good but some silly stuff going on here imo.
Returnal? I'm pissed…….ABANDONED should've been nominated for GOTY.
No Returnal?? Not watching that BS game show..I'll just wait for the trailers on YouTube. 😁🤷🏾♂️🤷♂️🤷🏼♂️
Returnal was not enough , it was boring
Returnal was definitely robbed, Deathloop doesn't deserve all the praise. Here's to hoping Rift Apart wins then.
100% Agree- I think both Returnal (My GOTA) and Forza 5 should of made the nominations.
Agreed. Wouldn’t expect the win, but it deserves a nod. It’s too difficult where I could see it win, but I would love for it as an alert in that there’s just some more diversity in gameplay
Returnal could be the player choice like ghost last year, but it should have been on the list, Forza made the cutoff, it shouldn't have said cutoff was between Nov 9 -30
I must say if u take this same game and insert a Nintendo Character (Samus/StarFox) and A Nintendo logo, it would be GOTY.
Best Role-Playing Game Award for a game that at launch, and for a long time after that, could not be played at all. What a joke.
Trash awards that mean nothing, but I LOVE seeing all the salty microsoft picrosofts seething because mUh FoRzA isn't nominated! LMAO LMAO LMAO 🤣 😂 😆
Glad somebody said it. Returnal is brilliant. No idea why it isn’t on the list. In gaming since the 80’s not many games have gotten me so hooked like returnal has. It feels like a new age contra to me with an amazing story that makes you think and gameplay that’s hard to beat. Audio design, enemy design, gun design, level design is all amazing. Most people that seem to not get returnal are the ones not into that genre of scifi/horror and just don’t get past the first to third biome and quit. For people that actually took the time to get better at the game and get into the story and what’s going on with it all understand how good this game really is.
Cyberpunk being nominated for best rpg is a very far stretch. the music selection for cyberpunk was worthy of the nomination. People still looking at the bugs and launch of the game still haven’t played the game most likely for good reasons but if you still say that, you need to play the game if you can or watch it. Returnal was a huge snub, not surprised by TGA the last few years…
I don't think Returnal is game of the year worthy. But I would replace it with one or two of those games. I'm more surprised that either demon souls or miles morales weren't on the list
Imaging people's reaction when a 92 meta game like forza horizon 5 is not in the list…
Returnal just looks MEH to me I would never want to play it so I can understand it being left out 🤷 you're just fanboying over it mbg.
