Yes but the Wii U didn't release until November. And all the games we talk about releasing in 2012 wouldn't have gone to Wii U anyway we it's not really relevant.

Anyway everyone including the homepage refers to the Switch as a current Gen console people are just trying to forget the Wii U ever existed..

Much of that may be, but I'm just saying for the sake of clarity, this gen started in 2012. :P

I see what you're saying and if I give you that, when talking about the original topic, 2012 wasn't crap because it was the start of a new gen. It was crap because it was crap.

There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Wow, Sony has really dominated GOTY winners and Nominees over the past decade or so. 3 top winners (with GOW looking to be the 4th), along with at least 1 game in the top 5 almost every year.

Dominated is a strong word when Bethesda had 3 GOTY winners in a 5 year span.

wow, 13 years since a PC game won GOTY awards...

At least you can have the better graphics on several of the GOTYs.

And I didn't appreciate a single one of them =p

Yes but that’s pretty much all Bethesda has and they don’t look likely to get another one ever again. As I said Sony not only already has 3 and on the verge of 4th, they also have 1 or 2 games in the top 5 almost every year. Not to mention their upcoming titles like TLOU2, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Dreams all look like like they’ll be contenders for GOTY in whichever year they release. No other publisher is even in the same realm of consistency.

Get in GOW! Surely the victory is lock now. Such a good feeling when your favorite game ever WINS GOTY.

Lol at people calling 2012 a crap year yet I and I'm sure many others prefer the walking dead season 1 to a lot of games that won goty before and after.
