Fallout is pretty big tho.
Fallout 3 won more GOTY awards than GTA IV.
It'll derail the thread further.

I've always wondered what these individual GOTY awards are. Can you just say you're a publication and this is my favorite? Seems to grow each year. How can I take any of this seriously?

Explain gameplay to me.
Once again people are using terms in context of their narrow world view. Gameplay means different things to different people.
By maybe actually clicking the source in the OP. There were less GOTY awards handed out this year than last year.I've always wondered what these individual GOTY awards are. Can you just say you're a publication and this is my favorite? Seems to grow each year. How can I take any of this seriously?
Yea his statement is pretty false. W3 is grabbing awards from big sites as well. It's just a far better experience and package than Bloodborne, which is why it's goty
Sorry, it's a lie?
By that reasoning Shadow of Mordor is a better game than Bayonetta 2. In the end it comes down to opinions. I think Bloodborne is easily the best game of the gen which is why I agree with the Edges of Eurogamers of this world, even though they are in a minority. But these are my prefered gaming media anyway.
As a brand and in the total number of copies sold.
I know.
what gameplay portion was innovative?
when I think about innovation I think about Portal1/2( and you don't even fight in these games iirc) from last gen or Splatoon this gen.
nothing strikes as innovative in the witcher 3. Witcher 3 is a far bigger, much better and way more ambitious Witcher 2 with many improvements( kinda like the difference between Demon souls and Demon souls 2 aka Dark souls 1).
I love the game so much and it's one of the only 3 games/game series that I bought their DLCs day zero, but it's not a game that I would associate it with innovation.
How many times has the best selling game actually won GOTY? Skyrim is probably the only time that happened.

Today I learned that Edge and Eurogamer are the most credible gaming sites since they have given Bloodborne the GOTY

Read an interview on GameSpot, dev claims it's better than the main game.Well deserved. Can't wait for Blood & Wine!
I hope Saskia and Iorveth are in.
Also I predict another game of thrones Easter egg. Daenerys Targaryen this time.
Finally pushed through and finally finished this last night. Environment was top notch and the story was good. The combat was ass though, and was the biggest thing keeping me from finishing it. Overall, It's an above average game. I definitely do not echo this overwhelming praise it's getting though.
The next game starring Ciri would be cool. They really need to overhaul the combat though, or outsource it to someone else.
Lol at above average.

Game of the generation. First game it has made me feel like I'm playing Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, where I was in constant awe of the world and exploration, and it defied what I thought could be in a game.

Eurogamer was stupid enough to give DA:I an 8. Their credibility is completely shot. We know how many GOTYs that piece of shit won.Today I learned that Edge and Eurogamer are the most credible gaming sites since they have given Bloodborne the GOTY

These awards are irrelevant, this year just happens to be a tad more believable than others.
You haven't gained the ability to critically evaluate a game. I like bad games too, for whatever sentimental reasons, but I at least know they're bad. Do you?DAI salt on GAF is always my favorite. Delicious.
They are also complete accurate, TW3 has terrible combat and a really bad skill system, The movement system well better is still pretty poor but it does some big things right like the quests and the writing is top notch but the gameplay really brings it down.You haven't gained the ability to critically evaluate a game. I like bad games too, for whatever sentimental reasons, but I at least know they're bad. Do you?
The gap in quality candidates from this GOTY merry-go-round compared to 2014 is wider than the grand canyon. I'd say "At least Bloodborne isn't complete shit", but I don't know for sure one way or another. Haven't played it. Most of the arguments against TW3 here in this thread, however, are laughable.

You don't think that's even a slight exaggeration? My counter has been that people don't know what "terrible" combat is. What's the worst combat you can think of? If TW3 is in the top five then you haven't played enough games. You're simply using descriptors which aren't accurate when laid bare.They are also complete accurate, TW3 has terrible combat and a really bad skill system, The movement system well better is still pretty poor but it does some big things right like the quests and the writing is top notch but the gameplay really brings it down.
Evaluating a game is completely subjective in my eyes. For example, many on this site chide The Witcher 3 for having terrible combat. To whose standards are we defining here? On what basis? Everyone has their own barometer as to what constitutes good or bad combat. To me it has fun combat. Sword strikes hit their targets, they can be fast or hard, dodging is fun, casting signs are fun, parrying, etc. I enjoy it. Who's right here? Both are. It's how they conceive what they're playing. Someone's more than within their right to dislike it.You haven't gained the ability to critically evaluate a game.

No. I don't care how many awards this game wins. It could win 500 for all I care, or alternatively put over a spit roast. But so can a game which shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath critically.You seem to lack basic understanding of what is and what isn't subjective.
Irrelevant to you and that last sentence is laughable. They are more believable because a game you like won a lot?
I was always under the impression that Eurogamer and Edge were two of the toughest (and most trusted) video game news publications--at least tat was somewhat the attitude of the GameTrailers forum back when it was still active.
Yea, this is not true at all. Edge has always been terrible, and most people admit that. Maybe toughest, but not credible/trusted

But yea, the shit [insert title here] fans say to justify their game not winning... It's just hilarious

There's only so much which is subjective. Churning MMO quests is not subjectively good design. I talked nothing of the story, nothing of the characters. I don't even have to get to those. The core of the game was rotten.
Evaluating a game is not completely subjective in my eyes. That's where we and I'm sure I compared to many others here would not agree. I don't feel the combat in TW3 is particularly good either, only that it's not "terrible". People really come out swinging with their adjectives. I'm getting hung up on it though.Evaluating a game is completely subjective in my eyes. For example, many on this site chide The Witcher 3 for having terrible combat.

I don't conform to the BS notion of liking or enjoying a bad game. If it has overwhelming 'bad qualities' while the majority of players think it's a bad game while I don't, it's not a bad game to me. In my eyes it's a good game. I've heard all the complaints about DAI for instance. While I agree with some, I disagree with many others. My overall experience was enjoyment of the different systems and game mechanics, story arcs, environments, characters, etc. I don't care what sort of 'critical thinking' is done to evaluate. It's subjective to each person's tastes.

I could believe "terrible" if they were talking about TW1 or Morrowind or Gothic or Risen or somewhat less awful RTwP systems, maybe clickers like Torchlight. None of those are particularly great. What's more is they haven't improved much over the years. That's not the case with TW3.
