Who knows what they could have done with 4 times the budget and another year of development. Maybe it would be a SotC type experience with demon's souls type multiplayer.

It would not be the same game though. It was designed as an experience you can share with a stranger in the time it takes to watch a feature length movie, a 2-3 hour movie, but still doable in one sitting.

Anyway it is called Game of the year award, not $60 Game of the year award or 30 hour plus Game of the year award.

Im talking about if it was the exact same game at $60 do you think it would be on the list?

Personal opinion yes. However it would not have sold well.
Price is not a factor for quality. Do movie scores go up in the dollar cinema? Are bargain bin games worth a higher score?

At $60 the 3 hour single playthrough length would be a valid complaint imo. I also draw the line at paying $40 for a Criterion blu-ray edition. The movie is still worth the same praise, but I won't buy it at that price.

As I said before, price and length are not a factor for quality. Price is a factor for value. It's also not Most value in a game, game of the year award.

I'm not trying to change your mind.  Im just saying if it was $60 it wouldnt be in the list because it isnt worth it which is why I find it weird that it is in the list.  All these other games are worth $60 excluding The Walking Dead.  I Halo 4 was a 15$ game it would have gotten a 10 from every website.  This is what I'm saying.
