Is Breath of the Wild a shoe-in for game of the year? How about best game of all time?



96 for Wii U, 97 for Switch.

Up to release, and about a week after, people were like don't worry, the score will drop over time.

And now, almost 3 months later, the scores are virtually exactly the same (I think Wii U dropped one point).

But RDR2 isn't set for release until 2018, doesn't that mean they won't be up against each other in the same year?

Is there any other big name games coming out in 2017? I honestly don't know, I don't pay that much attention to new releases.

I don't see it winning because people hate giving GotY awards to Nintendo games. However, it is GotY for me so far, and will probably remain so unless Mario Odyssey unseats it (or Underworld Ascendant gets released this year).

A Kickstarter game getting GotY?

That'd be a shake-up

Yea, I doubt it would get mainstream notoriety, but from what they are showing the game looks freaking awesome! The magic system alone is amazing, it reminds me a lot of magicka but even more deep.

From my point of view, the contenders are going to be:

Horizon Zero Dawn
Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild
Nier: Automata
Destiny 2

Speculating here.

I think Persona 5 might be a sleeper contender foe a lot of goty lists, it finally seems to have broken into mainstream popularity

Destiny 2 will definitely have a chance to become GotY, but so far it's Breath of the Wild by a landslide for me.

BotW is my GotY (so far). Not best game of all time. Wouldn't be surprised to see it mentioned in that conversation, though.

If it gets a sequel that improves on it in every way it will be rated lower because reviewers will complain that it's "more of the same."
