A three way battle of 95+ MC juggernauts would be insane to seeStarfield is going to upend things

Okay I’ll probably end up starting from scratch sometime after Starfield so I’ll reach out then. Some of these options could probably get knocked off the poll completely in favor of some others.We can reset the poll while keeping the poll up, or we can delete the whole thing so you can start from scratch.
I think Dead Space shouldn't be one of the removals, because I think it will do well enough to at least be nominated in a lot of places; the other four are probably safe removals though.Also, feel free to give suggestions for what anyone thinks should maybe be removed and added on the next version of the poll.
I'm thinking I'll probably end up removing:
Fire Emblem
Dead Space
Dead Island 2
Redfall
Hollow Knight
To replace them, I'm thinking of 5 others not currently included on the poll. Maybe replacing them with:
Mortal Kombat 1
Alan Wake 2
Lies of P
Dave the Diver
Pizza Tower
(The last 2 on the chance that a popular and highly rated indie ends up sneaking in which often happens).
My thinking was it was just so low in votes even when it was one of the early releases this year when this poll was originally posted. Whereas Pikmin 4 has about the same amount of votes but maybe people early on didn't think it would score as high as it did, so I'm giving that another shot. I think 1:1 remakes are just a harder sell for this, same reason why Metroid isn't there. All that said, I'll definitely consider the idea.I think Dead Space shouldn't be one of the removals, because I think it will do well enough to at least be nominated in a lot of places; the other four are probably safe removals though.
@JorgenRaft I think you should narrow it down to just 10
Honestly in any other year I’d agree but I think there are probably about 16 choices that have a genuine possibility at this rate.@JorgenRaft I think you should narrow it down to just 10
Yeah I imagine it'll look close to that plus 3 more just to get the full 20 poll options on there.How does this look? I tried to keep bias out of it (which is why FF16 is there and OT2 and LAD Ishin are not, plus I dropped Dead Space)
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Starfield
- Resident Evil 4
- Hi Fi Rush
- Final Fantasy XVI
- Spider-Man 2
- Super Mario Wonder
- Alan Wake II
- Assassin's Creed Mirage
- Street Fighter VI
- Diablo IV
- Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon
- Star Wars Jedi Survivor
- Pikmin 4
- Dave the Diver
- Other
Seems like those should cover the likely candidates at this point. @JorgenRaft thoughts?
It's more just a matter of fitting the whole 20 into the poll. I did 17 last time and then ended up adding 3 more later on, two of which were already known quantities when the poll was made. I don't think many people expected Stray to get nominated last year but it did. Sure it was a lighter year, but sometimes these things turn out more surprising.For TGAs I don't see Dave the Diver or Pikmin 4 getting nominated for Game of the Year at all. If we're cutting Dead Space idk why those would be there, especially Dave.
Oh that was more so a reply to the list proposed by Phantom Thief. I certainly don't think filling out a list of 20 candidates is a bad thing. I just don't see why Dead Space would be cut for some of the other games in the process.It's more just a matter of fitting the whole 20 into the poll.

It has a history of getting into the GOTY nominations so it definitely has its fanbase.I'd put Mortal Kombat over Assassin's Creed. AC is such a by the numbers franchise at this point.
Assassin's Creed major entries almost always get GOTY noms, and the upcoming one is notable because it is deviating from the current template and going back to the basicsI'd put Mortal Kombat over Assassin's Creed. AC is such a by the numbers franchise at this point.
It’s only ever gotten one GOTY nomination at the Keighleys. Add in that Ubi’s reputation has nosedived a bit and that Mirage isn’t even a full-size game, and I don’t really see the path for it.Assassin's Creed major entries almost always get GOTY noms, and the upcoming one is notable because it is deviating from the current template and going back to the basics
Armored Core sitting at 88 on Metacritic at the moment.
Honestly I think it's gonna be a battle of the high 80s for that 5th and 6th spot that can end up going any way.I think it will just miss a GOTY nomination
Not saying it will be at the Keighleys, just that it deserves to be on the shortlist of the 20 GOTY nominees lolIt’s only ever gotten one GOTY nomination at the Keighleys.

weeeeeeeeeeeell...literally impossible for starfield not to be nominated, no matter what the metascore is (which is guaranteed to be 90+ anyway). you think keighley will miss the chance to have an imagine dragons performance for a goty nominee on the game awards stage?
starfield, totk and baldur's gate are 100% locks.
