Game of the Year 2022 | Xbox Era Staff Top 10

I'm not going to read 32 pages of awards nor is that important lol

People can count 1 person youtube videos, that I don't care.

I just find it petty people atacking Kyle. When all this awards counting is always random, and mostly just based on bias.

Your argument doesn't make any sense, even this year there's basically 4-5 people checking for awards like you said happened last year. Half of this thread is debating on rules to make all of this a bit more serious and verifiable and not basically done by one single person, idk what you're so salty about.

Not salty about anything, just think it's pretty low to throw someone under the bus who has put in the effort time and time again.

But don't worry. I wont bring that back again.

Hra roku 2022 dle redakce i čtenářů Konzolista.cz - special

Hráči na konzolích si v minulém roce na nedostatek nových kvalitních herních zážitků rozhodně stěžovat nemohli. Od PlayStationu i Nintenda jsme se dočkali hned několika velkých AAA first-party her, z nichž se následně vyklubaly velké komerční hity. Xbox moc velkých her neměl, ale jejich absenci...

vote results are at the bottom


I don't know if this one should be counted or not.
The question of this poll is: which games was the most memorable this year (not the best one).
I think the question is a little unclear but maybe it's just me

Hmmm, the title is "best games of 2022"

but i think this website is focused on one platform there is sign of god of war ragnarok in this post or in review section.
for now, i won't count it. need more opinions on it.

I didn't think it would happen so soon, so many big outlets still haven't released their picks yet and the big awards like Dice are still months out

Tässä on vuoden 2022 paras peli – ja 10 muuta huippupeliä, joita ei kannata jättää välistä

Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarök, Stray, Immortality... 2022 tarjosi toinen toistaan upeampia videopelejä, joista IS:n toimitus nostaa esille 11.

The Esportgazetta (IT) that is added to the list is actually just a single editor pick. They have other acticles from different editors and their favorite games.
No majority pick.

It's not editor pick they just have multiple pages for every game they liked in 2022 - still needs to be removed since it's not their GOTY. It was posted the first out of all of those so might have been confusing for whoever posted it.

i'll check all of Elden Ring's winners now to see if there are no more mistakes and if some reviews posted before new rules still abide by them, will edit or post new post if there's any.

Once we are done in February or once it starts to slow down we can go by the websites 1 for 1 for all games this year to see if there's more mistakes
Ah, the reason i thought It was editor picks is because every acticle seems written by a different person.

pls inform me if u see something
For sure. Discovered this one quite randomly too, by finding the article for GOW.

Someone on neogaf malding that the TIME article wasn't included in the tally but they aren't aware it's a individual list and is ineligible
It wasn't just an individual list it was an individual list from a freelancer who got paid by Time to make the list, it was their first ever article on Time and I believe first article about Videogames in general. Previous years Time Magazine had gaming departments but they must have laid them off or something.

Look at the 2020 and 2021 Time Articles, written by the whole staff: https://time.com/5912417/best-video-games-2020/

Forbes (ER) also didn't count this year because it was written by just 1 individual.
