destroy all humans 2 was my number 2 but oblivion was an easy top choice as seems to be for most people this game was truly what made me the RPG fan i am today.

yeah Platinum can often miss especially in games they don't see to be fully in charge of and square enix Often does the same(the quiet man and balan wonderworld.)
the newest gameplay still looks pretty ehh.

i was tempted to put pokemon but i dont really care that much about pokemon in the first place and legends just dosnt look that good.

just did my maths for last years one 12 minutes at 90 ouch.

and like last year i will use shoulderguy as my copy paste basis.

my plan going in is delay more games... loose all hope.

Starfield 89 ------my brain says below fallout 4 level(87) but
God of War: Ragnarok 95 --i think i will like it more but it will have a lower score...fuck that it's beating zelda baby.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League 82 ------im weirdly confident in this releasing but not in the game.dont worry you can play it singleplayer?
Dying Light 2: Stay Human 85-----we've seen so much of this game but i feel like it might do a deathloop but BUGZ
Sifu 82----- cool indie already good preview buzz
Gran Turismo 7 86 ------they said campaign will be a focus
A Plague Tale: Requiem 87----- microsoft push.
Forspoken 84 -----ff15 without the ff shackles.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus 77
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl 82
Kirby and the Forgotten Land 79
Saints Row 75
Babylon's Fall 59 ben said it's like a 2/10
Redfall 81
Marvel's Midnight Suns 84
Elden Ring 92 ------their last 6 souls game range from 89-92 they are consistent, could they have the 3 best games ever made.
Ghostwire: Tokyo 80----- looks ok evil within was never reviewed too well
Ark 2 Delay
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 83 ------it's either the most generic thing ever or cool as hell
Bayonetta 3 90-----hype. babylons fall will "fall" for this
The Callisto Protocol Delay
Gotham Knights 82
Hogwarts Legacy 81 -----i have no clue, screw jk rowling but i hope the devs do well.

Horizon Forbidden West 90----- across the board improvement
Splatoon 3 82
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga 85
MultiVersus 79
Stray 80
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin 80 -----i really hope this ends up in that revengence catagory
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge 82
Open Roads 81
Tchia 75----- heart felt but not great
Untitled Breath of the Wild Sequel 94----- similar to ragnarok i think it being to similar might hurt it, nintendo fans though,

Wildcard Games:

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 80----- i dont now why i still have hope
Hollow Knight: Silksong 92
Haunted Chocolatier 86
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum 80
Skull & Bones ------cancellation likely but they wont tell us

i still have to much hope no way i put in enough delays. also FF16 should totally be a wildcard game

i used shoulder guys list for the scores also u did bad math on SMT5 u get an extra 8 points total

original quote haha alot more delays
"don't see many delays of whats announced apart from whats in the wildcards god of war is a possibility though.
kena seems like it should be a lock but i have a hinge of worry about that game."

exact score with bravly default looking back i can't believe i only said 1 game delay and it was the good life which came out through out the list i was pretty close in alot of my guess but could have made a good amount of points up for chosing even a couple delays

Fast RMX

oh wow forgot about that game haha.

it was basically the only game i played on my switch around launch once i realised i didn't like zelda.

great fun.

damn this is starting to get to the time when i was young and poor so it's gonna be a very bias list, but lets go

list is in don't remember if thats the exact socom i played but yeah.

Looking at my list last year I only beat 2 on it but then also randomly beat fallout 3 and Skyrim, so I'm not going to lock my self in too hard but I'll figure out my list when I get home.

last years leftovers

• halo infinite
• metroid dread
• opus echo of star song
• inscryption
• deaths door
• Mass effect 3
• Nier replicant
• psychonauts 2
• SMT 5
• kena

others.

• persona 5 royal

• horizon zero dawn 8.5/10

Wildcards

• Dishonnored 2
• xenoblade chronicles 1 and 2
• dragon age 3
• Witcher 3
• cyberpunk 2077(likely 1.5 patch)

@shoulderguy said in GOTY 2021 Contenders?:

One of the highest-rated games of 2021:

Youtube Video

Haha on that note check out Opus: echo of starsong it technically has a 91 but not even enough reviews to show up on the list

And it's not really even a visual novel.(13 sentinals style ?)

But yeah ratchet and returnal are good picks, deathloop is also great but is more love/hate

If there is time SMT5 and tales of arise.

and for smaller games death's door, loop hero, inscription, wildermyth and the above Opus being my number 1 pick.
