Did you know that Codemasters have been nominated for "Racing Game Of The Year" at the Dice awards 13 times?
...and they've only won it once. And the game they won it with was F1 24, which was abysmal dogshit. The only reason they won it was because Nintendo or Microsoft weren't there for the Dice awards to suck off that year.
To give you an idea on how rigged it is, F1 2020, the BEST F1 game they made... lost to Mario Kart Live.
Considering the most hated winner at the goty was the one that was purely based off popularity i dont think sonic racing being more popular should affect the decision
Ok but MKworld is almost objectively the worst Mario Kart game for its time. it is actively competing with MK8D while missing multiple features and having the world's worst online experience. 200cc mute city vs 150cc wide straight line 200 times with a 1/3 chance of getting anywhere from small circle to sone of the better tracks in the franchise. Plus the rainbow road fucking sucks that one is just my opinion
Erm, actually, the votes only count for 10% of the votes, while the other 90% are decided by the "jury" with companies such as IGN, Gamespot, and Wired. The only category that's completely voted by gamers is player's choice, thus the name.
Typically I'm a nintendo glazer and even I don't get why MK won this year. It looks polished but that doesn't mean it's without issues. The multiplayer modes are incredibly limited.
And the open world is missing a lot of content in my opinion, the p switches and stuff all feel like small missions next to what should be an actual campaign. I would love to see them pull a mario kart ds and have a mission mode kinda thing where you do quests in an area and then do a boss fight. Until then the game is just lacking things to do I have to admit. They better make announcements for it next year otherwise the game's just gonna be dead and sitting in people's shelves. MK8 is still the ideal game for multiplayer. Sonic crossworlds should have won this year.
How the fuck did it win? Just for it's hype moments and aura? People were quitting the game when Nintendo doubled down on their nearly universally hated intermission mechanic
op could've won too if they gave source
Nah, it should have been Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift
Finally, someone mentioned peak. Garfield Kart 2 should've been a Game of The Year

I know it was definitely too late to be eligible but Kirby Air Riders tops both games (I am absolutely biased and will not hear reason)
And the winner is…
🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥RICK🔥

Bro got nerfed today😔
RICK IS MY GOAT
Isnt Kirby Air Riders eligible for 2026?
I think so
It’ll probably be nominated next year, if TGA doesn’t forget it exists like it did with Sonic 3 for best adaptation
air riders is a racing themed fighting game, like burnout 3 :)
mr sakarui is that you?
hell nah lmao

And the official F1 games aren't even that good to begin with 😭
Idk man I have heard 0 complaints about sonic, but people were mad for like a week straight after world came out
The crowd was noticeably louder every time Sonic was mentioned, and people who were at the event said that they heard boos once MKW won.
Clearly one game is more popular amongst gamers
Considering the most hated winner at the goty was the one that was purely based off popularity i dont think sonic racing being more popular should affect the decision
It’s not about fans affecting the decision, it’s more so that the judges are out of touch
"Popular" They literally have something to the player for voting and a bonus for winning. That should be against the rules

None of that kart racer slop will match the legend

HOT PURSUIT MENTIONED RAAAAAHHHHH

You know gamers voted for this, along with every single award, correct?
Edit: just found out and verified that those votes only amounts to 10%
Erm, actually, the votes only count for 10% of the votes, while the other 90% are decided by the "jury" with companies such as IGN, Gamespot, and Wired. The only category that's completely voted by gamers is player's choice, thus the name.
And who won the "player's choice"?
Wuthering waves
Ew
Wuthering who?
Gacha game
And players who voted for it did it because winning awards gives free pulls… Most didn’t vote for it because they actually think it deserves an award
Not really since most of the times these games give rewards just by being nominated
But i guess gacha players just are like that
Plus the rivalry between wuwa and genshin
There needs to be a rule out in place that only new games can be nominated
gamers only account for 10% of the vote, the other 90% are the judges that suck off the big companies
Nevermind, I understand why people are upset now
And as with every player voted award, the results it produced were WRONG.
I feel the biggest problem about the game awards are the gamers voting for things I would never play even if my life was on the line
Honestly I just wish we had better racing games beyond Mario kart and Sonic. We used to get so many back on PS2 etc.
Kirby Air Riders came out this year as well!!! Blows them both out of the water IMO and that’s not me trying to dig at sonic
Sony please... I beg you... Please release a new wipeout game

I can’t believe expedition 33 didnt win tbh
Meanwhile me seeing a somewhat resurgence of car combat games that arent kart racers:
Me eating good...
remember that TXR didn't even get nominated, that game sweeps floor with every other racing game from like past 3 years
How the fuck did it win? Just for it's hype moments and aura? People were quitting the game when Nintendo doubled down on their nearly universally hated intermission mechanic
It should've been Kirby Air Riders
If it made the cutoff I would agree
I wouldn't be surprised if that one was rigged
Yeah but ace combat 8
I think the so-called expert critiques should have thought a little on why no one plays the game despite many people owning a copy.
Cry about it :)

Someone is pissed :3
This is what happens when your game doesn't have parkour
Womp womp maybe put more crossover characters next time and become Fortnite maybe you can win
The second I saw DK in GOTY I knew n*ntendo threw a shit ton of money at game awards
Don’t care donkey Kong deserved that award
eh, no, not really
