transience 04/14/17 11:09:42 PM #251:	I mean, Skyrim in 2017 is different than Skyrim in 2011 but we're not holding it to that standard. I think Overwatch clearly won the word of mouth battle for 2016. I don't feel like anybody talked about Uncharted 4 a week after its release. I'm fine with not giving it the award, just saying it's surprising that it didn't take it home given how big it was. --- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:877219427] in Games by y...

KamikazePotato 04/14/17 11:18:11 PM #253:	Skyrim is only majorly different if you fan patch it. Overwatch is already a different experience than when it came out and it's because of mandatory changes. I don't know if this is something that can be explained to people who don't play games that change over time like this, but in a lot of ways stuff like League of Legends 2015 feels like a sequel to League of Legends 2013 instead of just a game being updated over time. People deserve those Vanilla WoW servers, is what I'm saying. I'm okay with Overwatch not winning GotY 2016 - that year was pretty tepid to me all-around - but I do find it interesting that it couldn't pick up the most awards despite everything going for it. I do think the underlying elements I mentioned in my previous post are responsible (seriously, after the guy I know complained about Overwatch winning he immediately went and PLAYED OVERWATCH). I'm sure Blizzard is crying themselves to sleep in their gigantic pile of money. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:877219821] in Games by y...

KamikazePotato 04/14/17 11:26:26 PM #255:	The guy I mentioned is just an example of a sentiment I see in a lot of places. Could you ever see a game without any semblance of a single-player mode winning GotY overall? Or even a game with a singleplayer mode but a strong multiplayer focus? I'm not sure I can. 2nd place is good but 2016 Overwatch had Witcher 3-esque word of mouth and Witcher 3 absolutely cleaned up that year. Also, do a 2017 "Up until now" analysis --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:877220231] in Games by y...

Xenoblade is still fairly niche. Dragon Quest is never gonna make a splash here, it's too traditional. Honestly? I would bet heavily on Persona 5, with Nier probably a distant second (or third if you include Zelda). Both those games have sold and reviewed very well, and they've excited people more than any of the non Zelda games this year. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:877220852] in Games by y...
