Dark Souls 3, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3 & More Nominated for the Golden Joystick Awards

The 34th Golden Joystick Awards, also known as the Oscars of Gaming, are to be held November 16th in London. In anticipation of the event, public voting has now opened for the 21 gamer chosen categories and the RPG genre is very well represented especially games across the Fextralife Wiki network.

Dark Souls 3 earned some of the more prestigious nominations, including the overall Game of the Year, Best Visual Design, and Best Multiplayer. It also earned a nomination for best gaming moment when players make their return to Anor Londo. Additionally From Software earned a nomination for Studio of the Year. High accolades for a franchise that has evolved so much from King’s Field and Demon’s Souls!

Fallout 4 also earned a nomination for Game of the Year, as well as Best Audio. It gained a nomination for Best Gaming Moment for the scene that marks the arrival of the Brotherhood of Steel. Bethesda joined From Software in the Studio of the Year category.

The Witcher 3 continues to power through long after its release, earning specific nominations for the final beloved expansion Blood and Wine. Blood and Wine was nominated for Best Storytelling and Best Visual Design. CD Projekt Red was unsurprisingly nominated for the Studio of the Year award after another year of quality releases in addition to the upcoming standalone Gwent game.

The Most Wanted category is populated with some big upcoming RPG titles, specifically Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect Andromeda and Scalebound. Salt and Sanctuary also picked up a nomination for Playstation Game of the Year, alongside Naughty Dog’s powerhouse Uncharted 4. Not too shabby for an indie team! XCOM 2 also picked up a nomination for overall Game of the Year.

Horizon 2

Other titles like Overwatch and The Division were represented across a variety of categories like Best Original Game, Best Multiplayer and Best Visual Design rounding out a packed year for gaming both in the RPG and innovative gaming spheres.

  1. I vote every year :D This year I voted for the Minecraft youtuber, Amy Lee. In a world full of swear words, euphemisms and dumbed down jokes, she brings in a breath of fresh air. She is adorable. While I might be a rum swilling, sailor mouthed badass, I have a special place in me heart for soft voiced humans.

  2. In my opinion the witcher 3 was the best and i hope it comes out on top.
    Fallout 4 was alright but it could be way better, same goes for dark souls 3.
