Did Uncharted 4 deserve to be 2016's Game of the Year?

Pull a Thor with him and have him living with his mom and an alcoholic.
No. We've been over the arguments ad nauseum, but I think DOOM should've been the winner due to how many people still gush over it today.
Edit: Holy shit, how can I forget about Titanfall 2 and Dishonoured 2. Then absolutely fuck no

I could not get into it at all, gave up after four hours or so. I appreciate Naughty Dog's efforts and it is a beautifully crafted game for sure, but there were a ton of games that were way better that year in my opinion. My game of the year in 2016 was The Last Guardian followed by the likes of Doom, Dark Souls III, Inside, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Rez Infinite, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Ratchet & Clank etc.

You can argue about it being GOTY
And I dont understand people who didnt like tps mechanics in U4. They were fucking great

That's an opinion. I don't think it was phenomenal, not even close.
the fantastic multiplayer pushed it slightly above Doom for me. while I have my problems with the sp campaign, the overall package was great.
Well, why Overwatch won the Game Awards that time?
Apart from that, the only game which I actually liked from the series was Among Thieves.

Haven't played it so I can't say, but after playing Uncharted 1 and 2 after seeing the rabid reception to those (especially 2), I basically tune out any hype this series gets at this point.
Uncharted 4 is my favorite of the series.
Buuuuut when you look at 2016, it's hard to argue against Titanfall 2. It just did everything at such an exceptionally high level that few games have ever reached.

Absolutely. Best in the franchise and it was ended perfectly. Not many franchises get to end on such a high note.
It was a fantastic send of to Nathan Drake, I almost teared up at the end when Elena puts the photo in the diary. It's not perfect, but pretty damn near it.
And the freaking game is still unbeatable as far as animation and small little details in everything.

My knee jerk reaction was no, but I honestly think it did deserve it. The closest competitor for me was Doom. Loved that game, but it gave me a crippling headache. I can't fault the game much for that, but it definitely had an effect on my enjoyment of it. Uncharted did deliver for me. I didn't think it would, but I liked it.
Sure did.
For me, games don't exist in a silo anymore like they used to as it pertains to my time. 33 now and games that are awesome but can fit in that 20hr-ish mark or less are way more attractive to me than the next 150hr open world game.
I love Assasin's Creed, loved Witcher 3 but I just struggle with those kind of commitments now.
I thought UC4 was brilliantly paced and a super engaging experience and I'll gladly pay $60 or maybe even a bit more in the hopes that those games continue to get made.

After all the forum hype and Doom sitting in my backlog for ages, I finally played it and was quite disappointed. I don't know if I may have simply been in the wrong mood for it at the time, but it was like the video game equivalent of heavy metal. Monotonous, relentless, repetitive and basically all shoot shoot bang bang with little else. I also found the level design slightly cumbersome to explore, and not particularly rewarding or visually interesting. Fast and hyper gory to me doesn't automatically mean better. I guess I've sort of grown out of this type of game, but again, I might have just been in the wrong mood for it.

Poor The Last Guardian :(
I had more fun with any of these - Doom, TLG, DS III. Not sure which one would pick. Loved TLG, but framerate was crap and controls quite clunky. On the other hand Doom and DS III ran like a dream on PC.
Technically Uncharted 4 is big achievement for ND but it is one of the most tedious AAA games i played in a long time. i said ''fuck it, had enough of this shit'' during ''at sea'' (or whatever was the name) chapter. If U4 is anything to go by, i hope ND never do fully open world game.

Absolutely. Doom and maybe Overwatch are runners-up IMO.
TLG is great but it's not for everyone and FFXV? Hell no. Can't comment on DS3 because I've never played it.
