Witcher 3 by a thousand miles.

both great games, and even though I beat vanilla ff7 like 10+ times, I'm going to choose the Witcher because I believe it's objectively the better game of the two.

Gotta go with FF7R on this one.

BTW this is the last "weeb" game in the tournament.

Only one of them told a complete story. Glad he isn't involved with FF16.

FF7R isn’t even a complete game.
Witcher 3 by far.

I know Witcher 3 is "great" but I actually finished FFVII Remake.

W3 is one of the most overrated games this gen. And after Bloodborne FF7R is my favourite game of this gen so easy vote.

Well, it is a very long but fantastic RPG. FFVIIR is great but that is it.

To each their own. For me the combat did nothing for me at the time, and my interest was gone before I was even half way through. I've always wanted to go back to it, but I just haven't felt the push to. Maybe I will when they add all the updates.

I voted 7 Remake. The fact that it exists at all after pining away for 14 years is a victory alone. The announcement at E3 2015 sent shockwaves through the industry. Then it also plays great and looks beautiful? It's a dream come true. I won't even act like the Witcher 3 isn't also one of the best games this gen, but the 7 Remake just means more to me, and the industry. Thank you Square, and please bring out Part 2 soon!

I've only play Witcher 3 and FF7 sounds like a great game also. I will not vote for this one.
I can recognize that Witcher is great but I have to admit it was a bit a chore to play toward the end. And the combat was a big letdown for me.
But the writing and quests are impressive

They did add all the updates with the GoTY edition and everything on the disc. My advice is focus on the story and side missions only and just do what comes on your way of side world activity but don’t try to do everything or you’ll burn yourself because the game is MASIVE.

Nothing tops Witcher 3 except FF7 OG.
Fuck FF7 Remake's ending.

I appreciate that! I honestly think that's the mistake I originally made, lol. But I remember at some point just staying firm on the main campaign, and then seeing where I was at and there was STILL so much to do, lmao. I played it at launch on PC and ran into a number of issues too. Falling through the ground, etc. I remember that frustrated me quite a bit. But I know since launch they've fixed a lot, added a lot, etc. I guess once they do the RTX updates I'll give it a whirl, I know I'll appreciate it more if I can make it through it.

Played both, both are fantastic, but Witcher 3 should win this pretty easy.

In my quite unpopular opinion, remakes shouldn't even be in the running for GOTY, let alone GOTG.
That said, Witcher 3 was a better experience, especially if you take into account the DLC.

This is a no brainer for me. I hated almost everything about FF7 Remake, including the music. The combat system is that same old shitty Bioware style system where some things arbitrarily rubber band and some things don't, except more sluggish and with stagger mechanics meaning all the enemies are damage sponges, and flying enemies can just get out of range for however long they want and make the camera go wild. They turned the legendary soundtrack into elevator music and cut out the memorable parts. The visuals are a huge mess, with unstylized Ubisoft NPCs mixed with anime main characters. Sephiroth looks like he smelled a fart. Tifa has the uncanny valley crazy eyes and a cartoony face while Cloud and Barrett look like a photorealistic version of anime.
Everything is padded with "traversal" AKA shimmying in between rubble with the same animation they couldn't even bother to match the environment to.
All the additions are tryhard nonsense. "Tifa? Oh totally, I'm her landlord, she's like my niece or something." Very authentic. Their idea of character development is sneaking into Jessie's dad's room while he's in a coma and reading some letters. You randomly enter into a residential noise dispute with a Sephiroth cultist who's staying next door; this sets the tone for the scenarios in the game, they are awful.
Midgar, the iconic city that the script says is shrouded in darkness and uses artificial lighting, is sunlit 24/7. Even GW Bush would find a way to squint harder if he were there. They literally make you climb up and look down on a glorious Ps1-tier texture of the city from above and make you disable some of the artificial lights, even though it's bathed in sunlight.
The icing on the cake is Nomura adding a layer of "d u rike it?" madness that makes Kojima look like a genius comparatively. What a shitshow.

Brain says Witcher 3, heart says FF7R, cause it's my most favourite game this year after TLOU2.

Witcher 3 will win around these parts, but FF7R's hard mode is too up my alley
