Honestly, even if this doesn't get any traction, it felt good to just let that out there.

I was reading another thread here. Something like if there's a site that is the best when it comes to listing the Game of the Year.

There isn't. It's relegated based on multiple tastes. The only GotYs are the ones you enjoyed the most. The only site you'll say is the best is the one you best relate to.

I have zero interest in most WRPGs. If Horizon: Zero Dawn does not count as a WRPG, then I have zero interest in any WRPG. I also do not care for shooters as well as most western titles, or those catering to the west, such as Death Stranding. I find Hideo Kojima to be the most overrated game designer in existence.

Yes, he's capable of big-budget works with big-brained philosophies. The games themselves range in flaws from being overly indulgent to lacking a solid gameplay/cutscene ratio. The first MGS3 games were great for what they did even if MGS2 spent too much time on cutscenes to warrant much of a replay. I will not deny the hours I spent in MGS2 Substance playing through those incredibly difficult Missions and Snake Tales.

/end TGA 2019 tangent when they shoehorned an award to Death Stranding for every category but GotY.

TGA is currently the most prominent source for GotY. The real flaws, unfortunately, not only come from mass-marketing bias (RDR2, Death Stranding, TLOU2) but from the presentation as well. We do not care about these Premieres of random games we will never see again. We do not care about these mini-showcases of things that don't interest us. It is a gaming award ceremony. Keep the focus on what we want and not use it to leverage your virtue signaling.

TGA rant over.

It feels good to know where you stand and what you enjoy. But I don't think there will ever be any one site that will give us the GotY results we want let alone every year. It's virtually impossible.
