Bloodborne was ro--

Oh. Well never mind.

 

[iNvid02]

one of their employees is called bloodworth, its a conspiracy

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Only MGSV is a GOTY contender from that list imo.

1. Majora's Mask 3D
2. Metal Gear Solid 5
3. Tearaway Unfolded
4. Xenoblade Chronicles X
5. Splatoon

honorable mention: Mario Maker

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

YASSSSSS! Congrats From! You deserve it.

[Servbot24]

Yesssss - Was afraid Bloodworth would push Witcher 3 up there

Also would have accepted MGSV

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Only MGSV is a GOTY contender from that list imo.

lol ok, so none of the rest of those games are worth the GOTY?


Bloodborne is GOTY, I haven't enjoyed any game as much as that all year.

 

[manfestival]

I blame neogaf for forcing GT to give bloodborne a GOTY

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Bloodborne got robbed

 

[erpg]

My favourite game won so this list is objectively correct.

 

[Disaster Nebraska]

I'll never understand a Top 5 (as opposed to a Top 10 or more) when you're covering multiple platforms, especially in this day and age. Heck, give us a Top 10 Retail and Top 10 Downloadable GotY list, please.

Good list, and congrats to BB for the win, but yeah... bigger lists please.

 

[ShaoranWright]

I can just imagine the discussions among the GT crew between Bloodborne and The Witcher 3 xD.

 

[Corpekata]

I am surprised at the Starcraft 2 stans over at GT. Not that I mind, just not something being seen in a lot of general GOTY lists.

 

[Servbot24]

I blame neogaf for forcing GT to give bloodborne a GOTY

Bloodborne is objectively the best game of the year. You might like another game more and that's fine, but no game achieved its ambitions with such a level of simultaneous reckless ambition and graceful poise.

^out of the games I played anyways, which includes all frequent noms aside from starcraft and undertale

 

[mp1990]

MGSV got robbed...


...Of its future.

 

[I-hate-u]

It's funny because I am pretty sure they scored Witcher 3 higher than Bloodborne.

Hmmmm, advisory role, eh?

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Best game won. Almost the entire GT staff loves Bloodborne and we know Hinck thinks TW3 sucks.

Still pushing that nonsense?

 

[F0rneus]

The good Blood was with GT. Yesssssss.

 

[OneUh8]

Bloodborne!!!

 

[Screaming Meat]

Bloodborne is objectively the best game of the year.

I don't think that's how it works.

 

[Servbot24]

I don't think that's how it works.

Not a popular opinion I know, but I stand by it. B-)

That said, Witcher 3 should have won best RPG.

[RespectThySole]

I was wondering whether Bloodworth could deliver a Witcher 3 win, but expected Bloodborne.

 

[Catvoca]

Terrible list. My favourite game didn't win. They're clearly biased

Spoiler

/s. It's kinda funny these sorts of comments seem to pop up less in threads where Bloodborne or Witcher wins though.

 

[SictorVullivan]

It's funny because I am pretty sure they scored Witcher 3 higher than Bloodborne.

The opinion of one reviewer does not hold up to the opinions of a large number.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

lol... yep!

 

[CGwizz]

They all are huge from software fanboys, i can´t blame them lol

I prefer mgs 5 but i liked bloodborne too.

 

[meanspartan]

No disrespect to Starcraft, but how did it get on this list?

It's good and all, but doesn't hang with the rest.

 

[GravityInsanity]

WOOOO

 

[tuxfool]

It's funny because I am pretty sure they scored Witcher 3 higher than Bloodborne.

Everybody who wonders these kinds of things would find it instructive to listen to how the Giantbomb GOTYs get decided.

 

[Catvoca]

It's good and all, but doesn't hang with the rest.

Because different people have different opinions I guess.

Edit: this is probably snarkier then it needed to be, sorry.

 

[lt519]

There was a new Starcraft game this year?

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

lol ok, so none of the rest of those games are worth the GOTY?


Bloodborne is GOTY, I haven't enjoyed any game as much as that all year.

No, Bloodborne is a decent game, but I found the hideous Victorian aesthetic off putting and the game didn't bring much new to the table compared to previous Souls games, despite what the Souls stans think. It's better than Witcher 3 at least (that game is the definition of mediocre and overrated).

The 5 games I mentioned (which includes MGSV) all do what they set out to do better than Bloodborne and Witcher 3. MGSV also had better review if you want to bring Metacritic into the mix.

hatoful boyfriend is a better game than bloodborne

 

[Maxim726X]

Agreed.

My opinions have now been justified.

 

[Wagram]

I like how they were so split down the middle on Witcher 3 vs. Bloodborne. They are polar opposites and each completely deserve the accolade.

The question now becomes - how long until people start spamming Dark Souls 3 was robbed?

 

[I-hate-u]

Everybody who wonders these kinds of things would find it instructive to listen to how the Giantbomb GOTYs get decided.

I wish all other sites like GT did the same like Giantbomb. My taste in games don't match very well with the GB staff.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

You did good, GT. You did good.

 

[tuxfool]

It isn't what they think of the games, but rather you should listen how these things get decided.

 

[Servbot24]

There were times playing MGSV when I thought it was my game of the year, but too many missing aspects to that game. Probably the singular game that is both so amazing and yet so disappointing.

hatoful boyfriend is a better game than bloodborne

Haven't tried that one so you could be right for all I know

 

[30yearsofhurt]

wut?

So who got robbed?

I love the asthetic, cosmic horror and more agressive gameplay, but to each his own.

TPP is great mechanically, but unfocused as well and Konami forced a lot of crap on that game. BB's narrative is way better as well.

We agree on TW though.

Your number 1 didn't have much new stuff either, so I don't know why you brought that complaint up to begin with. Your opinion is... interesting to say the least.

So MGSV set out to tell a shit story about bland or terrible characters?

 

[manfestival]

There is only one reason needed enough to take away from bloodborne being the GOTY. The big stupid head brain thing that sings and jumps on you and shoots you off into the frenzy land.

 

[Meccanical]

So MGSV set out to tell a shit story about bland or terrible characters?

His standards transcend our own.

He truly is enigmatic.
