Awesome! Truly deserve it! Now I wish Kingdom Hearts 3 at least gets nominated for Best Game of the Years Award!

...Really? Even though KHIII has received a good portion negative feedback regarding it's pacing problems, character progression and development, and story. Or was this "Outstanding Performance Award" simply a paid publicity stunt to pat themselves on the back?

Congrats to the KH3 team!!!

KH3 in no way deserves that award, or even the nomination. It doesn't push gaming forward, doesn't do anything new, or bring the series to new heights.

I could see it potentially being nominated and winning awards for: visuals, music, and best action game (but not best game overall) though Devil May Cry 5 would probably beat KH3 for action game.

Doesn't matter though. We all know Geoff Keighly is going to stuff that ballot box with Death Stranding votes for all categories lol

Lmao! Kingdom Hearts 3 definitely deserve it. In my opinion, I think Kingdom Hearts 3 deserves to get nominated for Best Game of the Year.

I'm actually quite interested to know your opinion!

Why do YOU think Kingdom Hearts 3 deserves the Game of the Year award over all the other games that came out this year?

Thanks for sharing this with us, OrpheusJoshua!

This is great! An award well deserved, as Kingdom Hearts III was an amazing game and an awesome addition to the series! I enjoyed every bit of the game and eagerly look forward to see what's next for the series!

Who knows. But...I'd like to believe otherwise. 

I think everyone looks too much on the negative aspects of KH III. It's meant to be a new kind of KH game for the following decade. The only reason it probably failed was because it didn't exactly give off an ending that fans were hoping for of the Xehanort Saga. But it does have potential and also, I'm happy with the game itself. 

 

Just enjoy it for what it is, not what it is SUPPOSED to be.

And I honestly loved the build up that the game did for the next saga. Closing things off with Xehanort while paving the way towards the future with Luxu and the Foretellers!
