MULTI Game of the Year 2021 Media Picks Thread - It Takes Two Winner, Deathloop 1st Runner Up, Returnal 2nd Runner Up

But Golden Joystick's Ultimate GOTY Award is largely based on public voting. TGA's 10% is a minor percentage

Whether Necrokiller's rules have changed doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. These were the rules used to crown The Witcher 3 GOTY in 2015. Works for me

 

[Necrokiller]

TGA's 10% is a minor percentage

And that can potentially make all the difference

I know what criteria works for me now

So, DICE and GDC GoTY is Untitled Goose Game. Even if another game wins at BAFTA, it'll still have a higher tally. Therefore, Untitled Goose Game is GoTY 2019 as far as I'm concerned.

 

[CerebralTiger]

That criteria may work for you now, but it wasn't ever used to crown a GOTY on Pakgamers. Therefore, the Necrokiller certified list remains relevant, WITCHAAA

 

[Necrokiller]

You crowned the 2019 GoTY pretty clearly and made your criteria known. Works for me

See you at the OSCAAAAA WITCHAA!!

 

[CerebralTiger]

I did? lol wasn't it you who was keeping track of Sekiro vs RE2 Remake based on your certified rules?

The 2019 thread was a joint effort by Chandoo and Necrokiller

 

[Necrokiller]

I did?

So, DICE and GDC GoTY is Untitled Goose Game. Even if another game wins at BAFTA, it'll still have a higher tally. Therefore, Untitled Goose Game is GoTY 2019 as far as I'm concerned.

 

[CerebralTiger]

I just made a humble remark. I wasn't managing any part of that thread

 

[Necrokiller]

Oh wait, let me state for the record that you emphasized it THRICE.

So, DICE and GDC GoTY is Untitled Goose Game. Even if another game wins at BAFTA, it'll still have a higher tally. Therefore, Untitled Goose Game is GoTY 2019 as far as I'm concerned.

To summarize:

Popular GoTY winner: Death Stranding
MC Certified GoTY winner: Resident Evil 2

Oscar GoTY winner: Untitled Goose Game

Oscar GoTY winner: (still) Untitled Goose Game

The criteria doesn't get more concrete than that. Hence, works for me

 

[CerebralTiger]

It wasn't acknowledged by anyone, and the winner is still RE2...or was it Sekiro? Oh wait, you rigged the results and never revealed them

 

[Necrokiller]

See you at the Oscaaa Witchaaa! My work here is done

 

[CerebralTiger]

Stick around for regular updates to your certified list

 

[Necrokiller]

Will be updating this when DICE, BAFTA, GDC announce their winners

CerebralTiger certified GoTY winners:

2019 - Untitled Goose Game
2020 - Hades
2021 - TBD

 

[CerebralTiger]

But but...those weren't the declared winners in their respective threads

This is Necrokiller's self-certification. At least I picked the rules from a previous year GOTY thread OP created by none other than Necrokiller

IGN gives it to Forza.
