[Mikey Jr.]

Gow not even in the top 10. Damn.

 

[mejin]

GoW is not in their top 10. Gamepass as a game....yep, thats edge enough

 

[Starlight Lotice]

What is Best Living Game?

Shouldn't it be Best Battle Royale?

I didn't know we were adding expansions for GOTY, I feel that will cause problems down the line with games that add on content constantly.

Glad that Japan Studio is recognised though.

 

[Bullet Club]

What is Best Living Game?

They are Games as a Service games that get new content with updates.

 

[Outrunner]

Xbox GOTY:

1. Forza Horizon 4
2. Sea of Thieves
3. Game Pass

It's sad that they couldn't even list 3 games so they had to list a service instead. Also if Sea of Thieves is the second place... I mean... How bad can this year have been for Xbox?

State Of Decay 2 should have been in 2nd place.

Ah right, thanks for the information.

Still feels weird to hear that though. I guess it best describes games that technically never "end".

 

[JimiNutz]

A lot of love for PSVR and it's software which I'm quite surprised by.

 

[McCheese]

My boy astrobot getting the praise his little circuits deserve.

 

[MightySquirrel]

These guys knows whats up.

 

[Insane Metal]

What a joke... lol

Edgy as hell

 

[Outrunner]

I kind of lost respect for Edge when they had an opinion article kinda chilling for microtransactions.

 

[bilderberg]

Am i supposed to make GoW fun for myself? I'm at a loss for what people see in that game. Playing on the 2nd to hardest difficulty, I can get by just throwing the ax over and over again. The combat is trash.

 

[AgentP]

Pretentious and lame.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Game Pass is a revenue model, not a game.

This is what happens when corporate slurping leaks into GotY determinations...

So you choose to be negative towards Xbox and not edge who could have certainly chosen another game. Typical.

 

[Golgo 13]

Not having God Of War even in your top 10... that’s fucking brutal. As good as Hollow Knight is, didn’t it originally come out years ago? At the very least God Of War should replace it on that list

 

[Buki1]

PlayStation GOTY:

1. Tetris Effect

VR GOTY:

Overall GOTY:
2. Tetris Effect
5. Astro Bot

Very consistent. Maybe they should recount the points.

 

[Fake]

Ouch at the Darksiders score. No GoW in top 10? Errrrr.... Can I get a warn if I post 'ow the edge' in EDGE threads? I always get warn on the other forum.
At least some PSVR love.

 

[danielberg]

"look we are unique and special!"
Yeah no not really edge you are just as mainstream going after the obvious like everyone else.
I am pissed that DQ11 gets robbed because it got released so late and none these "professionals" bothered to sink any time into it.

 

[Punished Miku]

I got Tetris Effect for $20 and I still have rarely felt this ripped off with a game purchase. It sucks. It's just fucking Tetris lol. And on top of that, the final stage in each group has this impossible speed bump half way through for no reason where you literally have to spam the slow time move to even get through it half the time.

And they think this is better than God of War? That's not original thinking. That's just stupid.

 

[TeamGhobad]

nice to see Mutant Year Zero getting some well deserved love

 

[Fbh]

Ouch, looks like they didn't really like GOW. Has anyone read the review? What didn't they like?
Also lol at game pass. It's a cool service and all but why is it in a list of games?. If Netflix has some cool shows and movies next year are they giving it GOTY?

 

[Lionel Richie]

While I really liked God of War and I haven't played Tetris Effect yet, this makes me smile out of appreciation of how utterly fantastic the Tetris Effect reveal trailer was. It was flat out beautiful and I'm Yours Forever is already in the upper echelon of gaming songs and I don't even like that kind of music.

 

[Outrunner]

So you choose to be negative towards Xbox and not edge who could have certainly chosen another game. Typical.

Why should I be negative about Edge, there is really not much to choose from on Xbox. But you can go ahead and name 3 exclusives released this year that would be candidates for GOTY.
