What I am happy about is that finally, finally, Witcher 3 got nominated for best soundtrack
Reasonably should win them all.
What?! Fallout 4 only came few days ago, how can it possibly be nominated for GOTY?
Nominees for The Game Awards 2015 are selected by a jury of 32 international media. In some cases, the jury is provided advanced review code of upcoming games in order to meet the Game Awards 2015 judging deadlines. Games must have been commercially released by Tuesday, November 24 to be eligible for awards. eSports nominees were voted on by an advisory panel consisting of eSports media and sites.
This competition should not be a problem
Reasonably should win them all.
tw3 should win all of this prizes, if not, there is a serious problem in gaming industry
HoS was arguably better than TW3 itself. Anyway, I think the game will take 3 awards of those 7, namely 'Developer of the Year', 'Best Narrative' and 'Best RPG'.HoS alone was better than any game I've played in years, let alone the whole game. GOTY that is.
I'd give best RPG to Pillars of Eternity. For me personally it's surely the best RPG of the year - good roleplaying, supports Linux at launch and released DRM-free.
And Witcher 3 and Divinity: Original Sin could share the Golden Duke Nukem award for most anticipated vaporware of the year. ;D
I found Pillars of Eternity to be boring as tears. Also, supporting Linux and not using DRM software has nothing to do with the "best RPG" category.
Not sure what you mean about the whole vaporware thing. Duke Nukem was in development for something like 15 years, Divinity and Wild Hunt about 3-4. Both games exceeded my expectations.
