Games of the Year 2016 (per the media)
Not that it's ultimately important, but I wanted to do an overall look at how many awards various games took, as an interesting look at the most acclaimed games of the year and the trends that they follow. So here's a tally, without naming each publication because that's pretty irrelevant too (although maybe less so with exclusives). Anyway:
Titanfall 2: 1
Hitman: 1
Dark Souls III: 1
Doom: 1
The Witness: 1
The Last Guardian: 2
Inside: 2
Uncharted 4: 7
Overwatch: 8
Interesting to note that only one game receiving multiple awards was a sequel.
To better classify:
Shooters: 3
Puzzle-adventures: 3
Action: 2
RPG: 1
On a personal note, I agree that Overwatch was the tops, with Uncharted 4 a little behind, and Inside, Doom, The Witness, and even TF2 being quality titles. Not as sure about The Last Guardian, given all the technical issues, control problems, and pacing, but hey.
Thoughts?
Keep in mind, not every establishment has awarded their yet, notably the British Academy of Film and TV. The BAFTAs are on 12/2.

4 通の返信Overwatch doesn't deserve many of the awards it got. I mean, come on, for originality!? What's original about it?!

1 返信I'm happy Overwatch won game of the year. It deserved it, in my opinion. A game doesn't need a campaign or a story to be a good one.

1 返信Titanfall 2 had terrible sales... good game, but it was out sold by almost every holiday launch this year.

9 通の返信How did hitman win even 1? That's probably the worst way I can think of to release a game.

6 通の返信Blood & Wine was better than all of those titles even though they are all great games. Only game I can't seem to put down is Gears 4 with some TF2

2 通の返信Overwatch and Uncharted are Overrated. Titanfall 2 is the best shooter to come out all year.

[spoiler]no one important (of the good guys) even died for christ's sake. Drake just acted like a baby the whole game about only being in it for his brother and not- hm. I've had a realization whilst typing. There were a few moments his expression said he was enjoying it. That he was loving the adventure. If that was the case, then why does he want to home so badly? Has Elena got him on a chain that tight? I feel like they went for a mushy, relatable ending instead of something fitting of Nathan Drake. [/spoiler]

22 通の返信Shocking that the most overrated game of the year got the most rewards. Don't get me wrong it's not bad but it's just a mp shooter with nothing beyond mp in the game. I think TitanFall 2 deserved more. To me it's easily the best game of the year.

1 返信[quote]Hitman: 1[/quote] Still irritated they took one of my favorite IPs and released it in episodes. I've played that game since it was PC exclusive in 2000
