Oh? But I was told that UC4 only won Gaf's GOTY because of the overwhelming SonyGaf bias. Now, you're telling me that other media outlets and non-gaffers chose UC4 as their pick for last year's GOTY too?
This SonyGaf bias has truly gotten out of hand.
Joking aside though, congrats ND!
My man.Seems everyone overlooked the gem that was Ratchet & Clank.
Remake/remaster/movie-tie in aside. It was a great game. Deserves some recognition.
Overwatch shouldve won this. Uncharted 4 is good, but overrated.
It's crazy that W3 was up against Fallout, BB and MGS5 in it's year.
Zelda has Read Dead and Re7 so far IMO Nioh/Horizon both to score aswell.
Will be another interesting year for sure.
GODDAMN IT You beat me, and I even had it all set up nicely T_T
Anyways here's a reminder of the previous Overall Game of the Year according to GOTYBLOG, included the 2nd and 3rd most awarded games because I know some people will want to know who got robbed from GOTY
GAF GOTY Bolded
Top 10 Most Awarded GOTY Games so far:
- Witcher 3 with 257
- The Last of Us with 249
- Skyrim with 227

- Uncharted 4 with 159
- DA Inquisition with 134
- Uncharted 2 with 111

Gaf generally has such great taste. Except Journey, wtf was that?!
UC4 is a great game (imo just second to UC2 in the franchise), with both critical and commercial success, and it might not reinvent itself, but it is refined, both for gameplay and storytelling (to say nothing of the production values), to an almost absurd point.
Tons loved the game, in spite of what -I- feel is just a very vocal minority. Like you.
Some people really, really want video games to be movies.
It's a consensus vote. Mainstream outlets love it, because it's digestible and visually stunning. Core gaming outlets love it, because it's a beloved franchise and a technical achievement. Fans love it, because it's an exclusive and on the more popular platform.I don't hate U4, but seeing all the praise it gets confuses the hell out of.
I mean if 2016 was a slow year, I'd get it. But we had Doom, Dishonored, Titanfall, The Last Guardian, Dark Souls 3, Inside and freaking Overwatch in contention.
U4 is like a prettier but worse version of U2 with a grappling hook. OK, I'm exaggerating a bit. Whatever. I just don't get it.
Overwatch shouldve won this. Uncharted 4 is good, but overrated.
I love they did this.
Sadly we wont be able to play these taunt animations once the online is killed in a few years...
It was the prettiest.It was the best game of 2012.
MGSV?It is also the highest rated original game of the generation. Lets see if Breath of the Wild can surpass it on MC.
