- King of Fighters XIV listed twice in the top 10 fighting games award.
- Also, maybe more petty, but the latest Hatsune Miku game is titled incorrectly. The full package is called Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone. Or if you want to list the two packs as you have, it should be called Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Sound and Colorful Tone. The individual packs are listed wrong in the results.

Last one is definitely more nitpicky, though.

Still baffled how people rank Uncharted 4 so highly tbh, and I'm a big fan of the series. Decent game, but big letdown.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Full package won, glad to see it.

Strong top 10 as it was a damn strong year for games and kinda warms the heart a troubled project like Hitman really turned it around to get in there.

2017 though? That's gonna be a bloodbath.

I didn't vote this year but Hitman has done quite well considering how much of a shitshow Absolution was. I've been playing it and it's absolutely phenomenal.

It's joint top GOTY with Dark Souls III for me.
 
Man, was really hoping Doom would pull it off. Uncharted 4 was a huge disappointment for me, didn't even bother finishing it. Tempted to attribute this to it being a Sony exclusive, but I guess the majority of GAFers are looking for something different in games than me.

I'm pretty surprised that Battlefield was so low.

1. DOOM
2. Titanfall 2
3. Battlefield 1
4. Pokemon Sun and Moon
5. Resident Evil 4
6. Rainbow 6 Siege
7. Paper Mario: Color Splash
8. Fire Emblem Fates
9. Clustertruck

A sony exclusive won GAF GOTY?!

I'm shocked.

Being serious, Dishonored 2 being so low hurts, it was probably the best designed game of the year.
 
So GAF is all about graphics > gameplay? Well that's a bummer. :(

UC4's gameplay is fantastic....only complaint was there should have been more of it. Oh, and this thing called story telling too.

A sony exclusive won GAF GOTY?!

I'm shocked.

Being serious, Dishonored 2 being so low hurts, it was probably the best designed game of the year.

UC4 also has the most GOTY awards in the press, salt starting already.
 
Uncharted at #1 and ffxv at #6 just leads me to believe we have some very load and persistent few Because holy shit I didn't expect these results...Eh well uncharted maybe but ffxv in the top 10 let alone #6 hope for this place yet Xp
 
Some of the results are confusing. Yakuza 5 for the best PS3 game?? I thought it released in 2015.

And downloadable game of the year should be the Witness.

This thread needs a day 1 patch.
 
Fantastic as usual! I love reading these every year.

One question, best new IP, wouldn't that be the witness? It's not even on the list

Damn, the Uncharted 4 haters really are a very vocal minority then. Deserved IMO

Surprised that INSIDE isnt higher. Also, yay, first time I had a quote featured!
 
Well deserved. A fantastic final entry to the best series in the history of games and arguably the most important for the future of gaming.

Team Falcom on point
 
Deus Ex counting as an FPS and not an RPG is one of those really funny things, since it's a game where you level with XP and skill trees and never have to shoot anyone.
 
Strong lists. Some of the stuff on the top doesn't go along with what I thought, but that was to be expected. I was glad to see how much love some of the more obscure indie games got.

Congrats to all the people who worked on these games. 2016 was awesome.
