I saw that GamesRadar has opened up its Golden Joystick for 2017, which means we're heading into GOTY time... Golden Joystick: www.gamesradar.com/The GOTY website has its 2017 rankings open (if empty): gotypicks.blogspot.com/I've always found the Golden Joystick to be a little too early in the year, as it misses out on end of year releases, but it's a nice appetizer. Most of the AAA action seems to be platform exclusive this year. And I'm not convinced that I've played my 2017 GOTY yet... What about you?
The GOTY's have started dropping: 8: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 1: NieR: Automata

Jeez, we haven't even it big Fall titles, yet...though I think Horizon:Zero Dawn has a chance.

The only 2017 release I played this year was Andromeda, unless Bastard Wound counts, heh. It does not stand a chance, and I don't know other games and for some not even given a chance to play them by their developpers, so best of luck to them, but, well, irrelevant to me.

Horizon Zero Dawn is Epic in all ways. I think they would also lean towards giving the award to a new Developer, rather than tried and true can't fail Zelda.
PS. I tried Zelda and couldn't be bothered to finish it, even if they did have some unique mechanics.

Beats me why people like Zelda games at all, but sure, if they do, let it win. HZD I really wish I could try, Zelda, thankfully I am not feeling like I am missing out.

I haven't played all that many new games this year, so my opinion may change. But right now my game of the year would be either Horizon Zero Dawn or Persona 5.

I've never really understood what people see in Zelda either, but I've learned never to underestimate people's love for it. Ikr... I saw the demo, and if I did not know it was an uber anticipated title loved by countless millions of adult male fans, I'd have thought it was an indie niche game for young girls, A Fun-Filled Flowers, Rainbows and Unicorns Adventure or smthng. Seriously, it had a tinker bell like avatar bobbing around solving some rhymed puzzle... Anyways, no accounting for taste.

Actually I was a little skeptical before playing Zelda BotW, but it is probably one of the best games I've ever played. The only other 2017 game I played this year was MEA, so I'd give it to Zelda. Would've liked to try HZD, but don't have a PS4.

Nintendo is good at tapping into the inner nostalgia, but I'm convinced that alone carries much of the game's critical reception. I'm actually hoping Asscreed Origins is GOTY material. Ubisoft making a proper comeback with such a worn out IP would be pretty cool.

Ubisoft making a proper comeback with such a worn out IP would be pretty cool. I'd like that as well! I am going to try this IP beginning from the beginning, and having a powerhouse of a series like that in my gaming cache to work my way to AC:O for 2018 would be brilliant. Overall, I caught up on games released in the last 2 to 3 years in 2017, so this, along with MEA, left me v. happy.

Personally I've yet to find a game to "WOW!" Me so I won't have a GOTYA from myself. I could wait till CoDWW2 and SwBF2 launch but I'm expecting nothing but what's been done in the past with them. 2017 was simply a year of bad games to me.
I'd wager Zelda (wish I had a Nintendo to even try it, I'm a big Zelda fan myself) will win based off its reception and popularity. I can also see HZD (played myself but lost the desire to finish it) and Nier Autamata (again, played it but lost desire to finish it) coming away with it as well based off reception. As much as I'd despise it, Destiny 2 could even get away with it just by its large ass player count and it breaking it's own records in sales in every category. It's gotta be doing something right to make that happen so there you go.

I'd like to see HZD win out over BotW. Interesting that Fryda Wolff is on the list for performances but not Tom Whatshislumps.

I believe Nier Automata deserves the prize just for the story alone. But that's just my humble opinion.

I've not really played many games that came out this year, so I'll have to see what the fall list does.
Otherwise it's Fire Emblem Echoes, since I enjoyed that more than I did Mass Effect Andromeda or Prey which are the other two games I got this year so far.
Upon double checking the release list for the rest of the year, Wolfenstein 2 seems the best bet for me.

Only PC games for me and I haven't played any besides MEA that have been released this year. Sea of Thieves and Vampyr are the only two games I'm looking for this fall though I doubt either of those will be in the running.

Might as well vote Andromeda because why the fuck not.
Unless y'all mean to tell me LiS: BtS made the cut? Oh, I could see that one going a bit better.
Then again, bullshit's gonna happen, and I know how this behind the scenes stuff works. So Zelda will win it, because fuck everyone up the ass with no lube, that's why.

I'm trying to think of the games that were released this year. And I'm coming up blank.
Andromeda is one, but what else came out this year?
