@ShadowRJ Pretty sure the logic is: “GoY didn’t get the big nom, so we have to compensate by putting it in a bunch of other categories. While Bananza got the big nom, so we don’t have to worry about putting it anywhere else” (you’re telling me Bananza doesn’t even deserve a nom for art direction, game direction, action/adventure, audio design, or best score?).
Also, Bananza is their obligatory Nintendo big that gives them the right to ignore Nintendo everywhere else (Mario Kart World certainly deserves a best score nom). And since Death Stranding 2 is repping Kojima and PlayStation, GoY doesn’t to fill that obligatory PlayStation role.
The funny thing is 33 is such a darling, they gave zero s***s and just nominated it for half the categories, most of which it’ll probably win (three of 33’s performances nominated, and not a single from Death Stranding 2. Funny).
