User Warned: Antagonizing other members.
happy to see from win, but literally any other game they've made (even dark souls 2) would have deserved it way more (back when they released obv). sekiro is one of the worst games they've ever made, by a wide margin. in my opinion, of course.
Good thing the rest of the industry doesn't use your opinion. Seems like just another troll account anyway

People angry that your game didn't win are trying to portray it as a "lifetime achievement" award is salt.

Sekiro won game of the year because it's an awesome game. End of discussion.

Oh shit From finally gets the recognition they deserve. Though I can't help to think they won because there was no real GoTY bait this year.
Maybe death stranding had it been good, bit that wasn't the case.

Man this year kind of blew. Sekiro was alright but it's like their weakest game by quite a bit. The competition' was so wack I'm not that surprised.

Reused bosses
Reused areas
Useless skills
Poorly implemented upgrading system (you need at least 4 walkthroughs to learn/use all the skills)
NG+ without any new additions
The use of emblems (this was patched)

And as a personal appreciation, I think that the combat it's really repetitive after a few hours. And gets worse because the lack of any new weapon.

At least for me a game with that kind of problems it's not a GOTY.
I wholeheartedly agree, but I feel like you won't get many allies in this thread.

I'm glad From finally got some recognition, but it was for their weakest offering this current-gen.

I saw them giant spiders bruh, it ain't happening lmao

To give some perspective, I'm barely able to handle Deepnest
Oh well, not much you can do about that then. Hopefully Elden Ring will be giant spider free.

And spiders don't really bother me that much but Deepnest still gets me really anxious. It's something about how claustrophobic and just teeming with life it is.

Out of curiosity, why do you say that?

FWIW, there was no way DS2 would have won against TLOU or even something like Bioshock Infinite (popular with the critics) in 2013. I would say this was the perfect year for a Miyazaki game to shine given the competition.

I mean, I'm not a total lost cause. I'm gonna play Fallen Order real soon which I know has em. But I'm aware that Soulsborne games have more oomph presentation wise, so I stay far away lol

Dark Souls 2 was 2014. Up against Dragon Age Inquisition and Shadow of Mordor.

Lol what a shit take. Did you start with Dark Souls? They've had older games than that. Sekiro is easily one of theit best works, it's not even comparable to their older works.

Sekiro was fantastic. Well deserved! So hyped to see what they do next with Elden Ring.

I'm pretty sure there quite a bit of objective metrics to rate who won the game of year, and plenty probably comes close.

But among all the list, Sekiro is the only game which the ending brings you a glorious high, and encapsulate all the game offers in that one climatic confrontation. You knew it is ending, you look forward to it, and you are satisfied with the victory clinched.

That's why it is well deserved.

My first FromSoft game, and my favourite game this year. I totally endorse this, and I was secretly hoping it'd take this with the votes split with Death Stranding and Control.

Congrats to everyone at FromSoft, and I hope to see more amazing games from you in the future.

Meantime, I need to find the time to play the Dark Souls trilogy I've amassed over the past few years....

I'm wondering if they'll make a sequel of Sekiro. I just need more of that gameplay

And that's your opinion. An opinion that been proven wrong by the

Except it's GOTY. Too bad too sad.
It's just a dumb list from a salty person who didn't enjoy the game and doesn't understand why people like it so much. Games cannot only be measured in how many flaws they have. My favorite games of all time all have some big flaws. I can find flaws in every game in existence. That's not the way it works.

Guys, obviously I'm talking about their most recent games lmao. I know games like King's Field exist. I guess I should have been more clear.

I just don't like Sekiro because it throws away everything that I loved about Dark Souls and their previous games ... mostly the character customization, RPG mechanics, large number of builds and a story told completely through level design and not cutscenes. If you like the game, good for you. I'm not trying to change your opinion.

Good thing the rest of the industry doesn't use your opinion. Seems like just another troll account anyway
I'm sorry for saying how I feel. I'll try not to offend you next time.

This thread is way more civil than the TGA thread, which had some "As long as Death Stranding didn't win" type of petty posts.

I'm sad that RE 2 didn't win a thing as it's my personal goty, but honestly congrats to Sekiro, it is deserved.

I voted for Smash solely based on the fact that it was the only game nominated that I played. But I probably would've voted Sekiro if Smash wasn't on there. I want to check Sekiro but there's too many other games on my backlog.

It's not a GOTY caliber game to me. I found it to start strong but eventually the repetition grew old and the levels didn't offer much meaningful exploration or discovery. Souls games are much more memorable experiences.

Still, a solid game that deserves it and I can see why it is GOTY for some.

Still think Smash deserved it because it is literally Video Games: The Game, but this is fine too. Sekiro was terrific.

Well well, I was wrong, and now I guess I need to play it. Is there an easy mode? What's the best version?

The most deserving winner. Favorite game of the year. Best Miyazaki game too.
