Everything I agree with but FFXV. Totally had its faults but no where nears a fail.
What are you actually contributing to this thread by quoting that post and adding those three words
FFXV deserved more votes tbh. A shame because There's a GOTY behind that half cooked mess.
And NMS is the most deserving winner ever.
As usual, this results are more driven by either emotions or hype(anti-hype), more than anything.
The fact that a relatively average game that some felt over promised aspects and failed to deliver (but still gets updates adding and fixing aspects), won by nearly half the votes over a guy that made racists remarks and who the company basically put inside a bubble not allowing interviews to him or anyone that works to him....
That FFXV even made it there...or that Paper Mario got votes...
Then again the amount of voters was not that high, so votes would be more focused on some sides.
But I mean.
The situation at Crytek is a fail.
United Front Games shutting downs is a fail.
What happened to Lionhead and Fable...
Disney Infinity ...
Yet, none got mentioned.
Studios closing, people without jobs, good game franchises now been on hiatus because of that...but No Man's Sky gets the most vote,because lol Sean Murray (who also got individual votes).
Disappointed no one voted for Star Ocean 5. Or maybe my eyes are failing me,,, I guess no one cared enough to buy it and try it.
I prefer pre-update NMS to Star Ocean 5.
OP said:#5 Final Fantasy XV
Palmer Luckey being on this list is so neogaf.
Yup. This is on the people who bought it.
I'm sorry you didn't like a game neogaf...but the prerelease and release coverage was there to tell you what it actually was rather than some hype speak from the devs.
A lot of people were looking forward to the game and bought it. It was underwhelming and they felt disappointed. 49% of the voters believed it to be the biggest disappointment.
But yeah, they're all mistaken.
No Man's Sky over Palmer Luckey? Really?
There's a game that disappointed you and then there's a human being who allegedly funded a white supremacist organisation and posted on Reddit how he has way too much money.
I mean, Oculus held a luncheon to convince devs to not drop support for it.
Why were they looking forward to a space exploration game from a developer known for Joe Danger? Because of the marketing?
No sympathy here.

Joe Danger was pretty dope.
Nobody forced you to buy the game before reviews came out.
It sure is! Much different type of game though.
I wouldn't blindly buy a video game from a developer who's only known for one type of game though. Heck, I wouldn't blindly buy most video games. Wait for reviews/release coverage.
It almost always makes sense to wait.In hindsight, it always makes sense to wait. But people get excited about things and I don't think it's wrong that they do. Sometimes what you were excited for isn't what is released and it results in disappointment. Some of that is overhype, sure. But we're talking almost 50% of the votes here. Can't chalk it all up to ignorance.
Palmer Luckey was very successful in his horrible endeavors, not much of a failPalmer Luckey was robbed.
Dumb winner IMO
NMS was just an average to bad game with shitty PR from a team who had no idea what they were doing
What Palmer Lucky did is far more damaging and terrible.
Capcom ran their premier fighting game franchise into the ground in a completely unforced error
Mighty No 9 forever changed how people approach and view Kickstarter
It almost always makes sense to wait.
This is the same forum that flipped out when Polygon told them not to preorder games. Sensing a pattern here, I'm feeling like the failure is on GAF. I hope a lesson is learned.
No surprises with NMS winning. Many people got burned.
I am surprised by Street Fighter V and Final Fantasy XV rounding out 4 and 5. SFV was a big sales failure, but the people who bought the game seemed to enjoy it.
Metroid Prime Federation Force getting only one vote is super surprising; I guess people just forgot it existed.
I think in part it's the title of the award, that's at least why I wouldn't have thought about him.No Man's Sky over Palmer Luckey? Really?

He started funding a hate campaign. Even worse, one based on memes.Someone explain Palmer to me.
