No Horizon on this? It's still a potential contender for the top 5. We know almost nothing about RDR2 and Mass Effect: Andromeda isn't out yet, so it's hard to say.


I think Breath of the Wild will win this in the end though. If it loses to something with a lesser reception, then the VGA's will be taken into question. A lot of people seemed to disagree with the last couple of years. Overwatch was great, but winning over Uncharted 4? I don't know, Uncharted 4 achieved so much where Overwatch was Blizzard's twist on the TF2 gametype with crazy mechanics. It was fun but it didn't blow my mind like Uncharted 4 did. Still a good game but that's just me. I also felt that MGSV: The Phantom Pain deserved to win over 2015. I thought it was waaay better than The Witcher 3. Though I suppose that one is far more subjective. I just thought TPP was all around better.

The problem is that its hard to everyone really agree on one game when there is no clear "winner", a game that has outdone every other game.And therein comes alot of those opinions that are not agreeing with the awards.That is good and bad on its own.Bad because its been awhile that we dont get a game on the level of, lets say OOT, so that everyone can agree upon that is the best game and whatnot.On the other hand, that just means that we are getting too many excellent games and people are torn betwenn those games to really choose just one.

But thats how awards goes.I bet that not everyone agrees with the Oscars awards too.In the end, its all just good fun!

Well said! That's definitely a thought I like to contemplate with. Though sometimes some feel there are more obvious tidbits like what is unique of the two? What has the better execution and many other factors. For example I felt like Overwatch won based on popularity, not quality. It's a high quality game don't get me wrong, but is it Uncharted 4 level of quality and polish?
