I think Animal Crossing will win. Sony votes will be split amongst 3 games

[madmaltese★ 2,549]

Sony as a publisher has 22 nominations. No other publisher is even double digits. 

 

Playstation literally carrying gaming on it's back

I don't know much about Hades, but I do know the people who have played it like it alot.

 

I think Ghost of Tsushima might take it, because even though more people may talk about certain moments in TLOU2, I think GoT has a more straightforward theme that is more satisfying.

It's TLOU2.

Hades is going to win. Bump this when I'm right.

Definitely deserves it. 
 

Out of the choices, I’d definitely go Hades > FF7R = GoT > AC > Doom > TLOU2

 

I dunno how Demons Souls isn’t there tbh. Should be an easy 2nd.

AC is going to take it and everyone will be salty.

I think the fact they can give AC an easy win in the Family game category might mean they don't give it one in the GOTY. 

 

Same goes for Hades imo. Will defs win best Indie.

 

I think TLOU2 wins GOTY.
