This is how we do it every year and only Metacritic certified winners are counted. That blog tracks all random blogs as well.

The Game Awards is not on meta critic, that doesn't count now ?

I think we should post everything we can find and let people decide which one's they think are credible and which aren't

 

[Necrokiller]

Well award shows are exceptions obviously and public ones aren't counted. TGA is 90% judged by critics so it makes sense to count it.

Or just let PG decide the GoTY for itself.

That's .. what the 2nd line of my post said.

Even if PG will have it's own GoTY, we still need to track other websites.

Your thread your rules

2015 - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 257
2017 - Legend of Zelda: Breadth of the Wild - 189
2016 - Uncharted 4 - 165
2014 - Dragon Age Inquisition - 134

 

[Chandoo]

I like how 2015 comes on top of the list even though its neither the first, or last year chronologically from those 4

very inconspicuous

 

[Necrokiller]

No rocket science, sorted by award count

 

[Chandoo]

Don't think anyone asked the last 4 years award winners at all, let alone to be sorted by count

After everything is done I think RDR2 will have a higher number of awards but GoW will not be far behind unlike some previous years where num 1 and 2 have a big gap.

[Chandoo]

List updated, RDR and GoW are neck and neck so far.

@Nercokiller, considering two really close GoTY contenders this year, you'll be happy that neither might reach that 250 number

 

[Necrokiller]

CBS Readers, Radionica, Vulture, ye kon hain bhai :lol:

Close just means theres not one definitive winner I guess, could go either way. Just like RDR 1 robbed Mass effect 2

P.S: Zelda didn't have a neck and neck competitor, yet it didn't even reach 200

 

[Chandoo]

Full list

1. God of War
2. Red Dead Redemption II
3. Marvel's Spider-Man
4. Assassin's Creed Odyssey
5. Celeste
6. Monster Hunter World
7. Florence
8. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
9. Super Mario Party
10. Fortnite

 

[manigamer]

Polygons goty has started, they'll be revealing them one by one each day or so until dec21st

first up at number 10 a shocker

Assassin creed odyssey !

 

[Chandoo]

OP Updated. RDR and GOW2 still going head to head. We're probably gonna see another GTA V vs The Last of Us.

 

[Chandoo]

List updated. God of War with a slight lead for the first time, but there are still probably hundred(s) of awards left.

 

[Chandoo]

Red Dead 2 with a massive push is right on the heels of overtaking God of War.

cant belive celeste is in the list but not Dead Cells

 

[SolitarySoldier]

Gamespot gave it to RDR2; IGN will announce tomorrow.

cant belive celeste is in the list but not Dead Cells

It is nominated by Gamespot and IGN (among many others I'm sure). I don't see why Fortnite should be on the list, apart from the fact that it is popular. I'm still glad that CoD and BF games are not nominated for GOTY (although BF is much better).
