Nothing had more expressive animation than Luigi last year. Next Level Games are the best in the business for that.Outstanding Achievement in Animation

True though I think we'll see some very specific differences when the GDC awards happen later this month.All these ranting posts about "journalists" and press not playing, and memes being the only thing that wins. DICE is voted on my members of the industry, game developers and publishers. This isn't a fan vote. This is what game makers believed the game of the year was. There are a ton of other awards that are fan voted, or press based, or whatever. I love having this perspective, and I find it especially interesting when it's different from "consensus" picks.
Untitled Goose Game's win makes this the first (or second depending on how you class Journey - indie studio but Sony published) indie game to win DICE's GotY award. Nice to see that you don't have to be a AAA to be recognised for being an excellent game.
Although Control winning best action game and Fallen Order best adventure is not particularly strange. That (close to) happened here as well.
I'm playing it right now. But I guess this category is for both motion capture and computer animation which is a weird technical comparison to make.Luigi's Mansion had incredibly expressive animation. Did you play it?
For real? Come on now.
I want to know how many of you claiming it is well-deserved actually picked it as your own GOTY over other games.
Sure Jan, and next you'll tell me Mario Kart Tour is the best racing game to.
OK, I will allow it. Carry on.I did. It and Baba is You were my two favorite games of 2020. They both have that "wish I thought of that" factor.
People really can't handle something that isn't a Serious AAA Game winning, it seems.
Fuck, Mario kart tour beating CTR for best racer definitely upsets me more than goty. Really?
Not my GotY (that was Baba is You) but it was a close second.For real? Come on now.

There were much more deserving indie games alone. Outer Wilds, Supraland, hell Kind Words and Short Hike even.
Lol. Stop putting big for profit productions on a pedestal.There's one reason. It's not the game of the year. I can enjoy a lot of games more than most AAA, but I know they're not the GOTY.
I've noticed an interesting trend of people that really liked Baba is You and those that highly rated UGG.
Then having a legend like Amy Hennig to present a best character award and having it go to the Goose from goose game.
Fallen Order won 7 GOTY awards. https://gotypicks.blogspot.com/?m=1Fallen Order hasn't won anywhere. And while Control gets a lot of awards ( deservedly so ) , Best Action game ? I don't think anyone would pick it for that category. It shouldn't even be in that category.

None of the other games in that category won any I think.
And Control not an action game.. where would you put it, racing game?
Congrats DICE you memed your way into making your own awards show have no credibility.

It doesn't have millions of polygons, complex shaders, motion capture, hundreds of dialogues voiced by a human being (preferably hollywood actor).Still waiting to hear a cogent argument as to why the goose shouldn't be named the year's best new character, besides "it just can't be"
