Also, I don't really see where 2020 has the strength in games this site cares about to get 7-10 entrants into even a contest with nominations beginning today. First off, it's absolutely important to consider that 2020 isn't brand-new anymore - it's older now than the similarly weak 2014 was circa BGE 3, a year which had a more reasonable 7 entrants of its own at the time. The shoo-ins, as far as I see it, are FF7R, Ghost of Tsushima (which was our actual GotY runner-up), Hades, and New Horizons. Everything else looks debatable at best, whether because it's a type of game we don't really care about (ex. 13 Sentinels, sort of Doom and Ori), because it's a type of game we should have cared about (ex. Cyberpunk, TLoU 2), or in Persona 5 Royal's case, because it's not hugely distinct from the original. Speaking of new games, my takes: plasmabeam posted... (6) Metroid Dread vs. (11) MGS4 (5) Bloodborne vs. (12) Twilight Princess (4) Hades vs. (13) Fallout 3 (3) Animal Crossing New Horizons vs. (14) Oblivion MGS4, with ~55%. Anything over 40% on KHII is pretty good at this point, and I'm not inclined to think MGS4 has meaningfully declined since then when MGSV hasn't. Plus, I'm skeptical Metroid Dread has the scale to be huge here. Twilight Princess, with ~60%. As others have mentioned, it's a popular mainline Zelda, and that's no slight against Bloodborne's strength. Fallout 3, with approximately a doubling - Hades should be on the top end of indie games here, but that's a pretty shallow ceiling relative to something like Fallout 3. Oblivion, with ~60-65%. Nothing Animal Crossing has really ever put forth inspiring results, and Oblivion held fast in BGE 3 after Skyrim almost obsoleted it, so it might be just as strong again. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do." pronouns: she/her or they/them \| never knows what to say <cite>MetalmindStats posted [p:960643627] in Contest St...
