MEA recieved JUST 1 Golden Joystick nomination

Japanese RPGs kicked the game industry this year : Persona 5, Nioh, Nier Automata, Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, Dark Souls III DLC The Ringed City. 2017 was the best year in RPG gaming, MEA got no chance,
Back in 2014 DAI got a lot better chances for winning the only challenger was Dark Souls II.

HAHAHAHAHA, this gotta be a joke. 
So the best RPGs are a remaster of one of the worst Final Fantasies, a DLC from Dark Souls? You call that the "best year in RPG gaming"? A truly good RPG game could challenge these games. I'm pretty sure DA:I would at least get nominated for Best RPG and GOTY. These kind of games are games that are good, but they only got a chance at goty competition when the year was really bad. Like it was 2017.
2014 had Dark Souls II, Divinity: Original Sin, South Park: The Stick of Truth, not to mention other non-RPG games like Shadow of Mordor, Mario Kart 8, Hearthstone, Far Cry 4. 2015 was the best year though, both for RPG and for games in general: The Witcher 3, Metal Gear 5, Undertale, Rise of The Tomb Raider, Ori and the Blind Forest, Rocket League, Fallout 4, Bloodborne...

Happy for you that you're getting so much pleasure from this.

The galaxy map actually WAS the only part that did give me real Mass Effect feels because of the recycled music. ;P
No really, I genuinely enjoyed the pretty galaxy map and zoomed in planets.

Does anyone who likes the game actually care?

And gaming has similar awards like DICE Awards which we shall see how MEA performs there....

...and for reference, DAI won the DICE GOTY award.

*yawn*

Funny... I enjoyed Andromeda for what it was and I will be the first to say it wasn't the best game ever made. I just didn't realize I needed a game to win awards for me to understand that I enjoyed playing it.

I'd never even heard of the Golden Joystick Awards. That said, I wouldn't expect ME:A to get tons of award nods and I don't think it necessarily deserves them, but pointing to colluding game "journalism" circlejerks, even compared to other media circlejerking as vindication of ME:A being worse than what it actually was rings very hollow. If this game did get lots of Joystick nominations, the spin of this post would have been about SJW's and gaming media collusion painting an alleged false picture of the game's quality.
