Praise our savior, Kaplan

 

[kami_sama]

Very deserved. I love the game.
I hoped for a Titanfall 2 victory, tho. It needs some recognition

 

[valkillmore]

Well I hope it goes on sale to celebrate so I can pull the trigger. Really enjoyed the beta

 

[Tengrave]

Titanfall 3 will have its time to shine. Right? Right?

 

[Moon Presence]

Deserved.

 

[Mossybrew]

I think part of this win is the way the game - especially the characters - just caught fire in so many gamers' imaginations. What other game had so many characters instantly become so iconic and loved? And in many cases, loved too much. And it wasn't just a flash in the pan, the fandom continues to be strong. Every update met with strong interest and enthusiasm from all corners. Sure, Uncharted 4 was great, but it just didn't resonate like this.

 

[GGNKovalski]

I'm okay with it. I'm having way more fun with Titanfall but OW is a great game.

 

[DVPredator85]

Titanfall 2 better.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Perfect opportunity for someone to shop Uncharted on Sombra's Hacking PoTG Animation.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

My GOTY as well. Sad thing is some people will be more happy that Uncharted lost than that Overwatch won.

 

[Dead Prince]

Well I hope it goes on sale to celebrate so I can pull the trigger. Really enjoyed the beta

It was on sale during black Friday!

 

[Wanderer5]

Overwatch for GOTY and Dishonored 2 for best action/adventure, so freaking happy. Congrats to these two and the other winners.

 

[Darkness Unleashed]

"The world could always use more heroes"
Congrats to the Overwatch team, absolutely deserved.

 

[johnnydrama]

It's a good game, Brent.

 

[lantus]

I absolutely love Overwatch, but man, I feel like Uncharted got robbed.

 

[big fake]

Why wasn't No Man's Sky not even nominated? LIKE HOW COULD THEY LET THIS HAPPEN...

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

But with Titanfall 2 you had both fam.

YOU HAD THE PEANUT BUTTER AND THE JELLY.

 

[Wendel Clark]

Perfect explanation for this. The skill level required to be competent in this game is incredibly low.

 

[Nirolak]

Well, I mean, Exploratory is right. Historically it's been incredibly difficult for multiplayer only games to win.

 

[Falchion]

I have no problem with a multiplayer only game winning, I just didn't think it was the best multiplayer game of the year.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Overwatch huh. Jeez.

 

[Bronetta]

Spot on. These awards were all spot on.

 

[selfconfessedcynic]

I totally respect Overwatch, but yeah - was backing Uncharted myself.

I feel like UC4 isnt going to actually win many GOTYs around the place :/

 

[Quonny]

I don't like Overwatch but it winning this award is way more acceptable than eSports game of the year, which makes no sense.

Blizzard is an amazing company that knows how to give people what they want and deliver quality. Congrats to them.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Well deserved, Game Awards chose the objectively best GotY

 

[dreamfall]

Great game ! Good for the team! Also really cool to see such a robust multiplayer game get it!

 

[chillybright]

Given the nominees, it is not surprising.

 

[tearsintherain]

My pick woulda been Hitman, Uncharted 4, then Overwatch but I put in 50+ hours into Overwatch so can't complain too much.

Dishonored 2 for action/adventure though just seems bizarre.

 

[Lunar15]

Well, I mean, Exploratory is right. Historically it's been incredibly difficult for multiplayer only games to win.

Yep, and this is why I'm perfectly fine with the pick. I love TW3, it's one of my favorite games ever and absolutely deserved to win last year, but I'm really glad to see GOTY recognition for non-story driven games.

 

[ThatOneGuy831]

Well deserved!! My favorite game of the year so far and I can see myself playing it for a long time after, especially if Blizzard keeps up the support

 

[big fake]

Perfect explanation for this. The skill level required to be competent in this game is incredibly low.

ABSOLUTELY RAGE INDUCING HOW TRUE THIS IS....

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

UC4 should have got it.....

 

[LiK]

duckroll still believes in OW even after all the pain and anguish of Comp.

 

[Xamdou]

Really glad Overwatch won GOTY, congrats to the Blizzard team for making a fantastic game!

 

[friskykillface]

But what about DOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM

congrats to overwatch

 

[Regiruler]

From among the list I guess so.

It's definitely not my game of the year though.

 

[Kade]

It was the best game on that list. Well deserved win.

 

[duckroll]

What's Comp?

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Undeserved.

 

[Ganado]

Deserved. Gameplay is king.

If that was the case, DOOM should've won. Fast-paced RIP AND TEAR HUGE GUTS is so good. Even the MP is good for not being the main focus.

Bought Overwatch at release and have played like 16h, bought DOOM in the Fall sale and have already put in 25h.

 

[Eusis]

Nooo, Doom should've won because.

Uhh...

It's the only game I own of the finalists.

... Ok, I'd probably only go with either Doom or Overwatch realistically, and Overwatch seems to be properly carrying on TF2's torch so kudos to that. Would've been kind of amusing to have nominated AND awarded Blood & Wine though.

 

[Not]

Nice!

 

[wild wild rice]

This, Dishonored, DOOM and Inside were all excellent picks for their categories. Not bad, whoever voted for them.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

One of those years where every nominee was absolutely deserving. Congrats to Overwatch and Blizzard!

 

[janoDX]

Blizzard created another monster, they deserve it.

 

[Rked]

are people serious with the comments best games ever? its alright but not even in the same league as counter strike, doom, Halo..

 

[Josh5890]

Great game. And it is only going to keep getting better

Spoiler

hopefully

in the years to come.

 

[ShirAhava]

I strongly disliked the gameplay part of this game

 

[Gartooth]

Well deserved. The game feels like a huge breathe of fresh air and is the standout from this year. I think Doom also would have been a solid GotY choice, but the game on that list that had the biggest impact in the gaming community was definitely Overwatch. I usually enjoy single player games way more too, so Overwatch being my favorite game this year is the best surprise I have had with video games this generation.
