1 and 2...

 

[ReBurn]

That's it. No more games can come out this year.

 

[Banjo64]

Can’t even take some of this shit seriously anymore. Who works for these rags? Someone’s gran? It’s just endless stupidity.

 

[Dick Jones]

In no particular order the games choices are fine for the most part. Nice to see The Quarry get some love.

 

[Ronin_7]

Forbidden West at 2 lmao

Agreed on Ragnarok but FW wouldn't make my top 5, game was bloated beyond belief. Still a good experience.

Its my number 3

 

[SpiceRacz]

Where the fuck is Vampire Survivors on that list

I don’t think they rate mobile games

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Where are the GAF-Awards? The only ones that matter!

Neogaf users shouldn't say shit about goty when their goty was halo infinity.

Also I knew it was gow before I clicked because of the discrete title

 

[Perrott]

The Quarry? Are they stupid or what's exactly wrong with them?

 

[Bragr]

This is what happens when non-gamers make GOTY lists.

Halo Infinite was not my Goty at All but neither is Forbidden West.

I dont trust us after last year's fiasco. A game winning based on potential that never appeared in its first year.

Edit: This isn't me shiting on Xbox. There would be a hell lot more acceptance of Forza winning last year. There was annoyance of Forza not being nominated for TGA last year. Halo which was released too late for the GOTY category, wasn't even nominated this year and there was silence over this. We all know last year was blindly backing the wrong horse even though we had a legitimate contender from the same first party cast aside.

Well you are neogaf user. We are in this together

 

[Banjo64]

I’ve platted Stray, and liked the game, but can anyone honestly tell me why it’s here at number 5 whilst games like Tunic and Tinykin aren’t even on the list? Only answer that comes to mind is that one of the 3 was pushed by Sony.

 

[Bartski]

4. Elden Ring
3. The Quarry
2. Horizon Forbidden West

More people played stray than probably any other indie title this year

Sony reading this

 

[Kilau]

Forbidden West at #2 is disgusting.

It should be #1

 

[Bonfires Down]

Nintendo just got bitch slapped.

 

[Killer8]

Tell me you only play high-profile AAA releases without telling me.

 

[HAYA8U5A]

As somebody that didn't enjoy the GOW reboot Ragnarok has been a pass for me so far and I have accepted my aging joints and patience are just not meant for games like Elden Ring so I am not as outraged to see Horizon and The Quarry ranked like they are. Even then I didn't find myself enjoying FW as much as the first Horizon and I would have a hard time considering something like the Quarry for GOTY when the game element is so limited. I honestly don't know what my GOTY would be though since there have been games I have enjoyed but nothing that has stood out as special. I'm almost tempted to say Sonic Frontiers for the simple fact I have never liked a Sonic game and wasn't even going to buy it but it ended up an impulse Black Friday purchase and I am really enjoying it. Despite my reservations Elden Ring ended up an impulse Black Friday purchase too and have not played it yet so who knows maybe it will be the first game like this I do get into.

 

[Fess]

Tell me you only play high-profile AAA releases without telling me.

That’s going to be almost everyone, including us.

I just wish I had finished the top 3 games to have an opinion if they deserve to be above my current all-time #2. Never played The Quarry, never stopped Elden Ring to return to Forbidden West, still working my way through GOWR. These awards are arriving too soon.
When’s GAF’s GOTY voting starting?

#8. WHAT. DLC wasn't bad but damn, it wasn't all that.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

HFW is the most graphically impressive open world game ever created. It's not insane some would rate it high. In fact I think God of War, HFW and Elden Ring should be everyone's top 3 in whatever order.

 

[remember_spinal]

This list is complete, the GOTY awards have barely started.

 

[Robbinhood]

Id put HFW at 3 behind Gow and Elden Ring, but I won’t cry about one position.

Great year for Sony, give credit where its due.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Where the fuck is Vampire Survivors on that list

Not casual enough to make the list.

 

[semiconscious]

i mean, yeah, i really, really enjoyed it. that said: shadow of rose? 'top 10'? seriously?...

 

[Jennings]

I haven't heard of the Quarry, I'll have to check it out.

For the record, I was selected as Time's person of the year in 2006, so I know these guys have not only got the street cred to deliver a solid list, but they know what they're talking about too.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Omission of all Nutaku releases = instant credibility loss

 

[SpiceRacz]

I don’t think they rate mobile games

That's a shame because it's better than half those games.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

There is only one ecosystem where you can play all these great games.

 

[Tg89]

shit list.

 

[Neff]

This only shows what a shite year it's been but I'm slowly coming round to the idea of giving Ragnarok my GOTY instead of Bayo 3.

 

[Three]

The Quarry? Are they stupid or what's exactly wrong with them?

Hey don't be disrespecting The Quarry like that. I thought branching stories were cool now.

Glad to see it and Shadows of Rose get some coverage at least.

 

[remember_spinal]

the editor/writer that put this list together is very brave.

If they wanted ‘gamer’ dicksucks they should ahve picked a narrative adventure point and click like immortality or Norco, or vampire survivors, or return to monkey island.

And if they wanted yours clearly all they needed to do is include Sony's latest template games.
