2017 Game Of The Year Is.....

[TeKPhaN]

GB making such a choice speaks volumes of how irrelevant they have become.

 

[Kvally]

Now GB doesn't matter. Good grief pretty soon nothing will matter.

 

[TeKPhaN]

They haven't mattered in awhile and this is a great example of how far they have fallen.

 

[The Wolf King]

They gave it 5 star... bet they weren't irrelevant then

 

[TeKPhaN]

Salty now?

 

[Kvally]

So this year we lost Digital Foundry and now Giant Bomb as sites that matter. What is left? N4G?

No sites matter now making this topic pointless as its based on what those sites liked best.

Giant bomb are simply one of several sites that said they felt they got sucked into the Zelda hype when it was released and don't rate it as highly now. It's not the end of the world and its still been a big success for Nintendo.

All I can say is I meant to knock off a ton of games out of my backlog this holiday and instead most of my time has been sucked into PUBG.

I'm not going to jump in to the whole "should it win because early release" thing because I don't have a strong opinion either way. All I know is, I am hooked on PUBG. I have not been this pulled into a game in a very, very long time.

Giant Bomb’s list was mostly okay. PUBG winning was written on the wall from the start. Zelda taking down Neir was a surprise.

Who cares about GB? Them choosing a beta makes them lose even more credibility.

The Xbox version got the GOTY? How bad is the pc final release then?

There are awards given to movies and actors throughout the year. Then there are The Oscars.

Thr GiantBomb GotY Award is the closest thing we have to The Oscars. Better luck next year everyone not named PUBG!!

I just feel so proud and validated right now.

[The Wolf King]

Isn't PUBG fully released now on pc?

Someone tell Vall PUBG has been released for a few days now.

 

[The Wolf King]

Cuphead
Mass Effect Andromeda
Sonic Mania
Cities Skylines
PUBG

 

[Kvally]

Cuphead

I can't even figure out how to lay a road down in Cities with any precision I have 2 pieces laid down since release.

VGChartz' game of the year for 2017 was The Last of Us.

 

[TeKPhaN]

I can see why Microsoft supports them.

 

[The Wolf King]

Numbers have never been a strong point for them

 

[TeKPhaN]

^One of the most accurate sale listings on the net.

 

[TDbank24]

Well yeah. 6 > 4. That's why more people pick PS4. More games.
