You can tell how far removed GAF is from the wider gaming audience by the #2 game.

Persona 5 was robbed! :lol
What really suprised me was RDR2. That literally had like one trailer and Rockstar just said it was coming right? Crazy how anticipated people are. RDR was one of my favorite games of all time too!

I'm surprised Persona was almost the winner and even more surprised that Nier was in the top 10 at all, much less #6. They are both games I'm excited for, but I didn't know there were so many others here like me. I also thought maybe RE7 would be a couple spots higher but whatever.
Oh, and Tekken 7 is way too far down the list, IMO.

Also, dem action/adventure and RPG games.
The demo coming out right around the voting time probably helped a lot.
Ha, and two of those were mine...
Well regardless, if it does make 2017 I look forward to seeing it the Game of the Year thread instead
#HorizonZeroDawn is the third most anticipated game for 2017! Thank you NeoGAF!

Zelda winning isn't too big a surprise considering what this place has been like in recent times whenever it gets mentioned. I'd be more excited for it if not for that ludicrous sounding rumour about the Wii U version being delayed. Really hope that ends up being bullshit.
My money on delays is all on Red Dead. No way that makes this year. NNK2 is the runner up. Too little shown so far for my liking. The rest of the top 10 all seem reasonable enough for this year though.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Come on GAF needs to get more excited for Ace Combat 7. That game's going to be tits.

I can't wait for the first 5 games listed. I honestly cant see any of those games being bad. Maybe Horizon, but all signs point to it being at least decent.

I was a little worried that Nier wouldn't make the top 10 for some reason, but glad to see it at #6. That demo is just godly.

Honestly even tho I'm expecting it this year. Some part of me is like, but what if it's delayed? So I didn't bother.No Destiny 2? Shame
Good list... most games I'm hyped is in the TOP10.

2017 looks fantastic! Great top 20 picks by GAF

Ni No Kuni will break that curse.
Where My Top 10 Placed:
1. Persona 5 (2)
2. NieR: Automata (6)
3. Zelda: BOTW (1)
4. Gravity Rush 2 (9)
5. Nex Machina (58)
6. Pyre (45)
7. Ni No Kuni II (10)
8. Horizon (3)
9. Cosmic Star Heroine (39)
10. Yakuza 0 (16)
So not too out of line with GAF's taste, but not exactly in-line either. Also, it's cool to see Cosmic Star jumping from 93 last year to 39 this year

By delay to 2018 and rank higher/lower next year.
My entire top 10 made it to the top 20. Very good.

Considering the 3 games above it, and how all R* did was just announce the game, I think it is rather impressive.

I was looking back at the lists for the other years and holy shit, you guys weren't kidding.
This is Persona's 4th year in a row lmao

I'm happy to see Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera in the top 30.

Ground Zeroes is better than TPP so I don't see a curse here.

17 of the top 25 are Japanese, complete domination!
Western gaming definitely seems to be struggling for ideas at the moment, I don't disagree.

My tastes are a bit out of line with the consensus...not a lot of love for cRPG's on this forum. Also surprised at how low Styx is ranked, one of the best stealth games of the past years.

Nier and Gravity Rush 2 in Top10

The game was heavily mixed if I remember correctly, but I wouldn't consider it a bad game, just too short.

I'm really glad to see Zelda at #1, even though Nioh is my personal #1.
Persona 5 is an assured great game solely because it is refining the excellent P3 formula. I won't be burned out since I did not play 4, but P5 is ultimately just JRPG comfort. That's why I only ranked it #6, and put Zelda at #2.
Horizon has a lot to live up to with its #3 ranking. It will be the only big first-party Sony exclusive for the first half of 2017, so it had better deliver.
Ni no Kuni 2, Resident Evil 7, FF XII: Zodiac Age, and Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite are all higher than I expected, so I'm happy to see them where they are.
This is going to be a big year.
