VGChartz Official GOTY Awards - Results Thread

[Chazore]

Wow, a remake is winning more awards at this point. I thought Ori's OST as well as DOOM's was something else. We've all heard what an old game's OST is like revamped, but I would have given the award to a new game with new tunes.

I know this is user based voting, but I can't help but shake off the feeling like we're still faction based voting, and not actually voting for what strived the most, that also isn't on said console as an exclusive.

Like not being funny or anything, but I've owned and played AC NH for months and months now, and it's still felt more barebones compared to NL back in 2013. Compared to MS flight sim, which tries to base itself on realistic visuals, flight control and locations, it really strove far, and that series is far more niche than AC, and yet it's done multiple things.

Then there's Spiritfarer, a game full of beautiful colours, that holds it's own charm, as well as the fact that the game deals with moving on with life, letting go those that you've become friends with, as they pass on into the afterlife, and that obviously will touch some people's strings (myself included, because I've lost much of my family over the past 4 years). I feel like those two games have gone that bit further than the likes of NH, and I just cannot think that it got what it did, without faction base voting. I know what this site is like, it's mostly Nintendo/Sony based, and it'll only change if we want it to (which it likely will never, because our site is hardly front page anywhere).

Like at least CGI's awards changed a bit this time around, and I was glad to see some actual change in voting types and results. The results for this are just making me see Sony/Ninty games getting the majority of votes, and not indies actually trying to do stuff, let alone an MS game game or two nabbing a few more badges, y'know, a bit of a change up.

Anyway, that's just my lil gabber. Just wanted to get that off my chest.
