How did Ni No Kuni get on their list?

Because it's amazing?

By being an amazing game.

Tearaway .. representing baby!

 

[GetemMa]

Rogue Legacy over ALBW?

LOL

 

[mullet2000]

I have no idea how Ni No Kuni is getting so much representation in GOTY awards.

It's like everyone didn't play any RPGs, looked at Ni No Kuni and said "Wow that looks really pretty, that's the best one!"

I played, and still play, a lot of RPGs, and consider Ni No Kuni one of the best games of the year.

Problem?

Big problem!

8) Divekick

 

[AAlias]

Divekick and Ni No Kuni? God no

The rest of the list is pretty solid though, definitely agree with TLoU at #1

 

[sense]

Agree with everything except dive kick. Still need to play ninokuni but don't have a ton of time to devote to it. TLOU deserves every award it gets except most disappointing

 

[NeoROCK]

That's a pretty good list.

Not sure if I would put Dive Kick there though.

 

[Sobriquet]

Hahahahaha

Agreed; it should probably be higher.

 

[Hexa]

While I don't agree on the order for everything, I think this is my favorite list so far. NICE!

How did Ni No Kuni get on their list?

It's a better game than at least 5 of the other games on the list.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

DiveKick??? I haven't played it yet, but was that game actually good? I mean it placing in the list over something like Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate, WWE2K14 or Injustice?

 

[Sealion88]

Ni no kuni has a world map in a JRPG in this generation. That alone puts them in top ten!

 

[Zabuza]

Ni no Kuni isn't that bad...

 

[Raw64life]

Can't say I've ever heard of Rouge Legacy before today.

By being an amazing game.

Correct. Ni no Kuni is in my top 5 for the year and it gets a well deserved nod here.

 

[daveo42]

Fuck yeah DIVEKICK

Fuck yeah is right. Divekick is awesome. Some people just don't appreciate solid, simple, fun games anymore.

 

[Espada]

Pretty good list outside of Dive Kick and Bioshock: Infinite. What a strange choice, same goes for Rogue Legacy being so high up there. I really like the variety on display here.

 

[HardRojo]

Divekick? For me it was one of those games you have fun with for 10 minutes then never touch again.

 

[viveks86]

I wonder how they compiled this list. Is it based on customer ratings or just some guy at Amazon making his top 10 list?

Spoiler

Also, TLOU won! Yay!

EDIT: Never mind.

We quickly narrowed it down to around 40 games. Then we discussed the merits of including DLC, Episodic games, and re-released titles and decided to choose from new complete games. Once these guidelines were set, we debated over our finalist and narrowed it down to the 10 titles we most appreciated. After we had this list, each gamer ranked the titles. We tallied up the votes and the Amazon.com Best of 2013 list was born as well as the 2013 Game of the Year, The Last of Us.
