 Hi guys, I haven't filmed in this room in like three months. It feels like it's been so long that a friggin plant grew behind me She really take care of that. It's game of the year season. I love this time of year last year I made one of these videos It was just kind of like a because I love game of the year award last year We had got a war red dead redemption spider-man celeste another game that I can't remember right now It was a huge year this year is a little less huge There's a couple of big games like smash and Death Stranding, but it's definitely not up there with the level of God of War However, there's a bunch of different categories to vote on I'm gonna get to that very quickly I have Kim here with me as well say hi Kim She's gonna be an impartial judge if I get stuck on any of these because you vote on everything All right, so right at the top. We have the big ones for the year, but let's not look at that Let's go all the way down to VR AR game of the year and then work our way back up So right away I can already tell you be safer wins this hand to freaking down But Trevor saves the universe was really good and blood and truth was pretty good It's just so obvious that yeah beat saber you voted for beat saber. I got a token for it too. Oh, I forgot I got a brand new flavor of G fuel. It's peach freaking cobbler perfect for the Thanksgiving season and it actually does smell delicious and I've been really excited for this because I love peach cobbler And I'm looking at Kim because I know she has interest in this too. You're gonna try it It tastes like peach cobbler. It's so good I can't drink too much of that because it's already 10 o'clock at night I don't know how they do it without sugar G fuel 30% off if you're not too late And if you are too late 10% off code beat em up strategy game. Oh, wow. Oh, I feel bad for war group being in there With fire emblem that's sad because I really like war group My vote is definitely on fire emblem mostly because I haven't played the other ones apart from war group Okay, sports racing game crash team racing or a bunch of FIFA type games I think I know which one I'm going with the one I play Score and music. Oh, this one is legit really actually written. This was hard last year as well Cadence a Hyrule is incredible. Death Stranding is actually pretty good, too I love Devil May Cry's music and I just reviewed side not a wild hearts And like that game is worth buying just for the music alone But I have to show the indie love and go with Cadence. I don't think Cadence will win though It'll probably be Kingdom Hearts or Death Stranding because people love Kingdom Hearts. Yeah, I mean true But I think Death Stranding is gonna take it best role-playing game disco final fantasy Kingdom Hearts 3 Monster Hunter out of worlds. I haven't played out of world So I feel bad voting for it, but I definitely think that's gonna be the one I'm voting for a game. I didn't play come at me It's my video best performance Ashley in Outer Worlds Courtney in control Laura in Gears 5 Mads in Death Stranding Norman Reedus in Death Stranding and Matthew in control. Wow, that is tough I think it comes down for me personally Laura Mads or Norman And I cried at the end of Death Stranding thanks to Normie Boy So I think I have to go Norman ongoing game apex destiny 2 final fantasy fortnight Tom Clancy I think anyone's allowed to vote and honestly I had the same argument for this last year It's best ongoing game like what game is the best at continually putting out new content and I mean just out of the ones I've played here I mean, I'm not saying Fortnight's the best game because it's not the one I prefer here But for ongoing content they smash it Narrative oh a plagues tale control Death Stranding again Outer Worlds disco Yeah, definitely comes down to plague tale of Death Stranding without a doubt. I really liked plagues tale But I Death Stranding's narrative is just it was beyond expectation. I like Death Stranding I haven't made my review yet, so I'm kind of giving spoilers for that right now multi-player game apex Buddha lands 3 Tetris 99 Battle Royale category wouldn't be bad idea multi-player game. I don't think multi-player when I think Tetris I'm gonna have to go for the lands because I had a lot of fun playing that mobile game call a duty grindstone Sayonara, I haven't played any of these on mobile, but I love Sayonara on switch So I'm gonna go ahead and just do that independent game Baba is you disco Katana zero out of worlds untitled goose game It's so obvious Games for impact concrete genie gris kind words life is strange to sea of solitude I've actually been really excited to play sea of solitude, but I haven't got around to it Gris was beautiful and life is strange too. I also haven't got around the starting so I can't really vote on this one So I'll leave it up to you and I know you haven't played any of them Games for impact I don't feel like any of these really thought-provoking Hmm insufficient disk space to continue record whatever I'm just gonna vote for gris because that's the one I've played game direction control Destranding resident evil 2 securo and outer worlds that is an impossible one game direction I can't give the death stranding because as much as I loved it I felt like the game direction was all over the place resident evil 2 had fantastic game direction And I would say securo did as well and I haven't played out of worlds and I did not like controls game direction So it comes down to me resident evil or securo, and I actually finished resident evil because it just kept I just kept wanting to play more and more fresh indie game My brain just like died for a second now fresh indie game presented by subway Because it's fresh So we're voting for the studio here on title goose game Just has to be goose game goose game is gonna take home so many wins Fighting game dead or alive jump force Mortal Kombat 11 you hear the snicker in my voice force. Oh, it has to be smashed. There's not even a question. I'm sorry family game Luigi's Mansion 3 ring fit Mario 2 smash bros ultimate look at Nintendo in this frickin category, man I don't know. I mean family game. I smashes more of a siblings game Mario maker is more of a solo game ring fit I Yeah, I think Yoshi is more of a family game I mean out of all of these Yoshi's the one we sat down and played together I'm gonna give it to Yoshi because I'm thinking of family game very literally e-sports team Go ahead and do a little scrollie past that well last year I actually voted on them just judging on like stupid things So I'm gonna vote for Dota because I like Dota e-sports player. I think This kid looks nice and friendly this guy this guy's aggressive I don't want to e-sports game of the year I can't play for business. I can't vote for blizzard right now. I'll give it to Dota again I haven't played Dota in years, but I used to love me some Dota content creator of the year here. We go here I am my nomination. All right, so we have me obviously somewhere in here Jack Dunlop Benjamin Lupo Don't can't pronounce David much wait Let me audio design gears five had some Fantastic audio design. You know what? That's my first choice. It's the first time I've seen gears five on here I need to give it a vote in something art direction control desk stranding gris sayonara securo links awakening I love me some links awakening, but it's not getting my art design desk stranding had some brilliant Brilliant world-building art design I think it comes down to Sekiro and death and I am gonna give it to Sekiro action adventure game Borderlands 3 control it's starting to get serious up here by the way desk stranding resident able to oh Death stranding had some really quality action parts, but it was mostly adventure I think Sekiro has the best mix of both action and adventure if we're taking it very literally But when I think action game, which I think is more what people are gonna lean towards I think resident able to That's a tough one I think Sekiro will win that one, but I personally had more fun with resident evil action get oh wait I take it back Securo resident evil isn't here, but I gotta go by my own logic apex astral devil may cry gears five I thought gears five in fact I am very surprised that gears wasn't in art direction if gears was in our direction That would have been an easy win for me. I'm actually a little annoyed that gears wasn't in art direction Oh, we're already at game of the year control desk stranding resident able to Sekiro smash the outer worlds What is the best game of the year if you had to pick one based on just what you've seen? What would it be? I feel like there's something that could replace like smash and Control that I would have been more inclined to pick But honestly the story for death stranding is probably the best story wise death stranding had the best I thought control was perfectly fine I'm annoyed that devil may cry isn't in that spot again I haven't played outer worlds, and I already did think about this earlier. I love Death stranding resident evil Sekiro and smash I love all of those and what makes this so difficult is all four of those are so extremely Different such different games with like outer worlds if you add that in all five of those are completely different genres Control is kind of a lot like resident evil 2 the resident evil 2 was a lot better Ah No offense, but yeah, it's so varied. It's hard to pick which is like the best one It absolutely comes down to preference at this point I mean if you like first-person shooters if you like fighters if you like action brutally difficult dark soul style games if you like horror thriller action games or if you like Whatever the heck death stranding was for me immediately it comes down to death stranding resident evil 2 or super smash then If I start to really Really agonize over it I would probably take resident evil two off just because if I'm putting death stranding and resident evil against each other I was way more absorbed in death stranding, but then I'm left with death and smash and at that point I'm so torn because they are completely different games It's impossible for me to say which one's better because they are both equally good in their own categories I know it sounds like I'm stalling for the I kind of am because I actually don't have an answer my vote doesn't even matter But I still can't make this call. I'm trying to in my brain Critically break these games down into their own individual categories like music. I'd probably have to give the smash art design I'd probably have to go towards smash game direction. I'd probably have to go towards smash narrative Obviously goes towards death stranding, but more categories are leaning towards smash And I think all around smash is a more perfect game The only thing is smashed is a multiplayer only game like where the death stranding did so many things for Gaming and the gaming industry. It's also tough because smash came out last year. It's been a year Go away Make this easier for me. You've had your time to shine. I wish I could vote for both purely because I think smash is a more well-rounded game that doesn't need justification It goes to smash, but on regardless of all of that. I'm pretty sure Sekiro is gonna win It just wasn't my game of the year But I'm pretty sure Sekiro is gonna win game of the year because I think I think that game is a marvel And I think a lot of people are gonna vote for that one. Alright, that's my game of the year I'd love to know your game of the year though For all these categories get to work down below in the comment section and leave your favorites I'm gonna be live streaming the game of the year event because last year it's where Nintendo dropped joker in smash So maybe we'll get another DLC fighter for smash. Maybe they'll make that a tradition like game in the year awards isn't just about The these nominations as a bunch more surprises and secrets that get announced in the gaming world It's really exciting and I'll be streaming it. So watch it December 12th buy some G fuel peach cobbler It's fucking delicious. Do you agree with my vote?
