Topic	So what wins Game of the Year, anyway?
MetalmindStats 11/18/19 8:51:22 PM #31:	LeonhartFour posted... I don't know that Fire Emblem has the pedigree to take GOTY on GameFAQs yet My main argument is that it doesn't take a lot to win in a weak year on GameFAQs. The likes of Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands 2, and Final Fantasy XV have all won GotY in the past. The last is particularly relevant, as a somewhat more mainstream JRPG with rather worse reception, two factors which I would anticipate cancel each other out. KamikazePotato posted... Sekiro was well-received as far as I know. Not really on GameFAQs, no. Sekiro's average rating (on PS4) is 4.04/5. Other Soulsbornes for comparison: - Dark Souls (PS3): 4.48 - Bloodborne: 4.45 - Dark Souls III (PS4): 4.37 - Dark Souls II (PS3): 4.30 The Top 100 tells a similar story, where Sekiro is nowhere to be found, less than a year into its release. Again, other Soulsbornes: - Dark Souls III (PS4): 39 - Bloodborne: 41 - Dark Souls (PS3): 49 - Dark Souls II (PS3): 96 Team Rocket Elite posted... Three Houses has a lot of ground to make up if it wants to challenge Pokemon. Fates also had rather divisive reception, particularly among the fanbase, and Sword/Shield at least seems to have turned many prospective voters against Game Freak. It could be close, but I'm confident in Three Houses with its relatively independent fanbase to win the Switch poll this year. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do."
