It came in second place on the PS4 day. As happens every year, this GotY poll is populated by taking the winners of each individual system's polls. Because Horizon did not win PS4 GotY, it isn't on the overall GotY poll. It's very simple.

At least it got on the polls. They completely ignored Berseria (It wouldn't have won any, but it's dumb that it didn't show on any of them)

It was kind of expected. Nintendo put out both Odyssey and BotW and there were no major western releases. H:ZD may be a good game that could be argued to be worth deserving the chance to compete but it's simply outnumbered.

Not quite.

'SJW', or Social Justice Warrior, is a term used to refer to a person who follows a specific set of politics in a certain manner. While 'Social Communism' tends to be a decent description, it takes more time than my short time before work to get involved in. However, some hallmarks of a SJW game...

'Empowered' female lead whom is often a Mary Sue and cannot be challenged/if challenged is proven right while her opponents dismissed her as a woman.

'Non-traditional beauty' or basically women whom are flat-chested and ugly, likely fat (even if it makes no sense), being treated as desirable.

'White Devil' in which any white person, especially straight men, is near-inherently wrong, detrimental, or discriminatory at the least in comparison to the more socially progressive protags.

Homosexuallity everywhere. Please note, this doesn't mean a gay MC (of necessity) but, rather, everyone either being entirely encouraging of it and partaking except for the antagonists whom tend to be close-minded and hateful in their views, or everyone hating homosexuallity to irrational levels while the homosexuals in the game are presented in a near-always positive or heroic light.

There's plenty more, but work calls. However, H:ZD is NOT a SJW game, even if the facts can be made to make it seem like one. But, in a nutshell, imagine a game made by the most annoying hyper-leftist who never got told that they were ever wrong and outright applauded for everything that they ever did; except by people holding conservative viewpoints.

Now that I'm back from work...

SJW is a term for a person who holds a certain series of viewpoints. Said viewpoints tend to come from a social communistic stance in which the equality of outcome is stressed but only for certain specific people groups. It holds that certain groups of people come from an inherent position of power based on such factors such as race, gender, culture, religion, sexual orientation, and so-forth and the people within said positions of power must be forced to relinquish said 'privileges' bestowed upon them in favor of the people groups considered 'oppressed' by the movement. This typically applies to gays, PoC, women, non-christians (and frequently jews), and the like as being 'oppressed' while a straight, white, christian, male is considered to be holding of immense privilege (asians being a close second) and part of an all-encompassing patriarchal government. Such relinquishment of privilege, while often encouraged to be voluntary, is permitted to be forceful. So long as it's done in the name of helping the 'oppressed' it is acceptable.

Quite frequently this is accomplished through such things as replacing male characters in media with SJW-approved characters (homosexual or at least bi, PoC, liberal as hell, and usually female), encouraging 'non-traditional beauty' (since it is 'defined by the patriarchy') via such things as small breasts, fat women, and a very distinct hair-cut in which one side of the head is shaved to a buzz (almost always dyed), presenting 'traditional' characters in negative, if outright antagonistic, roles, and similar such things. This is different from merely having, say, a fat lesbian protagonist in that it's done specifically to push an ideological agenda and, thusly, said characters are often distinctly flat if not outright sue-ish. They are almost always right or justified in their actions regardless of the situation, any straight white men are presented as effectively being racist rednecks or obtrusive at best until they become 'enlightened' (if that ever happens) to said female protagonists way of thinking, and if the hero MUST be a straight, white, man they will often espouse openly viewpoints in favor of SJW topics and their various traits will be presented as purely negatives (womenizing and treating women as objects, unable to understand racial issues, questioning of religious beliefs to the point it's more a wonder that they're retained instead of dismissed).

How does this get represented in games? Typically a game would do such things as make male and female leads unattractive (at least if white) if not outright impossible to play as if a game allows for custom characters. Antagonists will specifically hold viewpoints detrimental to SJW points even if it makes no sense given the context of the game. Mentions of how positive and good the 'progress' (which is almost always pro-liberal instead of pro-conservative) is will be brought up while anything conservative will be presented in an entirely negative and 'barbaric' light. The antagonists will likely have their wealth as something inherent to them and be uncharitable asses who gladly steal bread from starving orphans as opposed to the 'heroic' liberal heroine who gladly forces sharing on all, and so-forth.

Now, H:ZD... is NOT a SJW game. It is true that it's female protagonist is non-traditionally beautiful, the tribe worships a female deity, and so-forth. However the main characters appearance and attire seem to be heavily based on the nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes and is fitting and reasonable for her occupation. It can even be stated that she IS beautiful given the context of her world. The beliefs held by the tribes reflect the various cultures that they are based off of and are not unreasonable at all given the world. Right from the get-go we see a religious spat between two female elders regarding the MC without being hamfisted or negative to the beliefs presented. This is just a few examples. It's not a 'SJW game', plain and simple.

Uh what sorry? All those games I listed are in addition to the other great games listed as nominees such as Zelda, Mario etc.

I'm sure if anything, you would be jealous of my taste, as I have the chance to enjoy more great games.

Just to point this out again rather than trying to justify the games I like in a fit of rage post.
