I don't really care about that argument for this year, for all I care and see 2020 was quite a good year for videogames even if I've barely played any releases. But yeah it doesn't compare to 2017. No other year compares to 2017, really. That year was just masterpiece after masterpiece after masterpiece, it was absolutely ridiculous. Game of the year shortlist didn't even cover all of the 10/10 games that year (because it didn't choose all of the best ones, but still).

So you don't want to present the many flaws you saw because they were already countered and that means that your points are true but not worthy listing? Have you played the game?

I totally agree. Anyone trying to say 2017 wasn't an exceptional year should take a look at this poll made last year to determine the best year of the 2010's:

Not only did 2017 win, it gathered over 70% of the votes.

No, because I know this song an dance already. I've been here for 7 years and I've danced to that tune and I got fed up with getting modded, because dancing to said tune ended up being long winded bait to get me riled up, so I've decided not to bother with wasting time, writing out novel like stories on why something "sucks", because it almost always is met with "well you're wrong" or "it was debunked", and responses like that are not only low wit responses, but damn near insulting, because it just shows the other person wasn't wanting to discuss or talk in the first place, and I'm really shocked some of you haven't picked up on that mentality on here by now.

I'd make personal examples of that behaviour from some users on this site here, but I know damn well mods don't like it when people like me want to make examples of said people, because they consider it an "attack on character", despite the fact that outside of this very forum, people are judge by their very character.

So since you don't want to discuss the game that you didn't play and the discussion of the merits is also so weak, why are you on the thread then?

I almost want to ask people "have you ever tried death?. You can't say much about it unless you've tried it, because I know how batshit crazy that sounds, but that's what "you can't say shit unless you've touched it with two thumbs" sounds to me, as if using those things called eyes and ears aren't something you can use already to determine is something is good or not, let alone the tongue or nose for smelling and tasting.

I can't believe in all my years that I had to actually mention something so glaringly basic, on a site like this.

Imagine ignoring all of history, because it's easy to access and view for everyone to see, but because you didn't take part in a specific era of history, you don't get to judge the rest of history, like for real, that sounds completely fucking asinine and stupid.
