I recently got a HFW PS5 bundle (was just glad to be able to finally get a PS5). HFW held my attention less than the average Assasins Creed game. Good graphics and decent combat but I just couldn't get into it for some reason. The PS5 is a beast though, still happy for my purchase.

Where is Xenoblade 3, Triangle Strategy, Live A Live, Stranger of Paradise...?

All eaten by that fucking cat at #5. The absolute state.

It's a "western casual gamer" popularity contest, the mere fact that Xenoblade 3 made it to the TGA seems like a filler nomination to me, then you'll have Stray instead of Bayonetta 3 or some of the widely acclaimed indies like tunic lol I haven't played Bayo or tunic but stray is far from being one of the best games of any year ever lol

Stray is the most popular indie title this year, it was number one, two, or three on steam charts for weeks. Why are people surprised popular games that everyone played are the most nominated?

It was the indie equivalent of elden ring

Yeah, I can understand that, but as a game it's less than average in quality, those goty are basically about whatever but actual games

The Oscars has dropping viewership since forever, and that's mostly because the film getting nominated are far from the blockbuster films people actually watch. Titanic was a blockbuster that also won an Oscar.

I think TGAs just want to showcase popular stuff so people tune in.

 

[Hobbygaming]

No, it's not. It has pretty, gamey graphics and that's it. After the first game and its dlc Forbidden West was a disappointment.

Forbidden West's graphics are crazy especially the textures and character models. I liked it 10 times better than Zero Dawn

 

[Airbus Jr]

The Quarry was last year do they mean The Devil in Me?

 

[Ogbert]

I find FW fascinating. It should be amazing, but I can’t get over how yawn-inducingly boring it is.

How do you make a game that looks incredible and where you fight robot dinosaurs so tedious?

 

[Spaceman292]

Forbidden West at #2 is disgusting.

It should be #1

Yeah #1 most boring ha gottem

 

[Spaceman292]

Yep, it's been a dry year

Maybe you should just give up on video games bro

 

[Dick Jones]

The Quarry was last year do they mean The Devil in Me?

The Quarry was this Summer (June I think). House of Ashes was the Dark Pictures Anthology release last year.

 

[tommib]

Its my number 3

Fuck I knew you had mainstream bad taste but I never thought it was this bad. Into the ignore list.

 

[Kilau]

Yeah #1 most boring ha gottem

 

[GenericUser]

Thank you for your advice.

 

[Deerock71]

I'm playing The Quarry right now. It's pretty fun!

 

[T4keD0wN]

10 games that generated the most traffic in 2022 the list?

Or is it 10 2022 games with the most trailer views the list?

Why did they leave out fifa 23, madden and diablo immortal? Wheres saints row and rainbow six extraction?

 

[diffusionx]

Maybe you should just give up on video games bro

good advice for everyone in this thread

 

[TurboSpeed]

Gow Ragnarok really deserves number one, easily the best game i played this year. The rest of the list is debatable for sure!

Popular doesn't mean good. If any GOTY publication is meant to be taken seriously then they should focus on other things besides popularity.

Meant to be taken seriously by whom?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Meant to be taken seriously by whom?

By people who actually care about videogames, and not those who just play whatever is getting 90's at metcritic or is the current fever of the month.

 

[Lunarorbit]

I got about halfway through and then elden ring came out. I'll get back to it eventually but I feel like, except for the story, I've seen most of the game. Didn't reach the expectations I already had

I dont think Time Magazine cares about those people

 

[lughnasadh123]

Giving up schadenfreude as my new year's resolution is always so much harder after reading reactions from goty lists. HFW being over ER was especially tasty. Not bad for a game everyone forgotten about.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I dont think Time Magazine cares about those people

Well yeah, and they don't care about videogames either.

 

[remember_spinal]

Well yeah, and they don't care about videogames either.

Or the guy they paid to put that list together just doesn’t like the same games as you?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Or the guy they paid to put that list together just doesn’t like the same games as you?

I'd bet that person doesn't even play videogames and just researched whatever was the most popular thing. Which is why I was saying that those publications and awards are an absolute joke.

 

[MiguelItUp]

The Quarry? Lmaooooo.

That's.... a list for sure.

Elden Ring too complex for these bloody casuals.

 

[Interfectum]

Should we expect whining from Elden Ring fanboys in every thread in which it doesn't win GOTY?

 

[R6Rider]

Already a topic.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I don't see Xenoblade 3. That's a problem.

 

[Bartski]

you're late

 

[Pelta88]

That TIME magazine GOTY

 

[Unrivaledx88]

Imagine caring about what american journalists have to say

People care about reviews? Lol so idk what this means….

You should care about reviews which are opinions but should not care about someone’s opinions of their top10.

Its just an article anyway

 

[Mr Hyde]

Elden Ring on 4th?

 

[Spukc]
