lololol such integrity over there.

I really couldn't care about the cut off, I think they should be having these in January so we can consider the entire year already but of course they aren't going to let this miss GTAVI

There it is lol

can't have GTA miss out on this year's GOTY xD

Alanah Pearce just dropped on her knees in a Walmart.

I mean yeah Geoff isn't stupid. It's gonna be bad enough if it doesn't win, let alone if it wasn't nominated.

last years cutoff was nov 21 btw, so im not really sure whats with all the laughter.

"Hey, so how do you feel about this game 95% of the games press would have only played maybe 7 or so hours of? GOTY?"

Must be because Duskbloods is releasing then?

It's The Game Ads, is anybody really surprised? :jordanlaugh:

I just wonder if reveiwers will have enough time to play it, that game is going to be massive.

shh i gotta do another drive by post

Uzzy

Gabe’s little helper

I get it, Dawn of War 4 would sweep otherwise and we can't have that.

did anyone really think the cutoff date would be before GTA? I always figured it would be factored in and tbh it should.

Exactly.

Yeah, GTA will be eligible.

No no no when don't bring your cold logic into my tea leaf reading session!

Didn't RDR2 not win anything when it launched? I can't remember shit really. Anyway, I'm not going to "dunk" on Alanah because she put out an opinion piece noting her experiences on the voting board. But hey, thinly veiled sexism is fun I guess?

Congrats to Rockstar for winning GOTY 2026.

I really don't understand the snark in this thread, even ignoring the fact this is a normal cutoff date for The Game Awards. Surely you want all the big games released in the given year to be eligible for the awards?

nobody could have predicted this

Obviously

Anyone that thought otherwise was so delusional lmao

geoff clearly did that a year in advance so he could do it for GTA this year and people wouldn't question it

Nah
They lost to GoW
They were nominated

The 2 big ones that missed was Cyberpunk and Smash

But both launched in December

Didn't RDR2 not win anything when it launched?

it didnt win because it had a nuclear bomb named gow2018 as the main opponent, is there any game that could compete with their game this time?

Past cut off dates notwithstanding it's still funny.

I did the only comment in the thread about her, and if you think it was sexist I have a bridge to sell you.

If Jeff Gerstmann said the same thing I would laugh my ass off, because there's no universe where Keighley was not going to have the biggest entertainment thing in human history heavily featured in his show.

But sexism lol

GTA 6 clean sweep then.

Zelda and Fire Emblem would be lucky to even be nominated now.

last years cutoff was nov 21 btw, so im not really sure whats with all the laughter.

But how can I holier-than-thou-by-hating-on-GTA-post now?

Cut-off dates:

2025: Nov. 21
2024: Nov. 22
2023: Nov. 17
2022: Nov. 18
2021: Nov. 19

just joking, as pointed out last years cutoff was the same time. Just funny is all

I get it, Dawn of War 4 would sweep otherwise and we can't have that.

im so fuggin ready to abandon my cursed flesh for the purity of the machine

Roger Clark won for best performance

and the game won best music and narrative

GTA is going to win all the prices.

Will it win best game direction tho

I mean if anyone really thought Geoff would somehow ignore probably the biggest game of all time i have a bridge to sell you
