Poll: The Escapist's 2016 Readers Choice GOTY Voting Thread

[Casual Shinji]

Even with The Last Guardian I found this year in gaming one of the most tepid ones in a long time. '15 had The Witcher 3 and Until Dawn, '14 had Wolfenstein: The New Order, and '13 ofcourse had The Last of Us.

I don't know, I've heard good things about the Titanfall 2 singleplayer and the new Hitman, so maybe if I'd played those I'd be a bit more enthusiastic looking back on the games of '16.

I'm voting for Zootopia.

This thread seems to have started attracting more attention after it was unpinned. I was wondering why so few people were voting, guess people just ignore the pinned threads out of habit.

Wow! You are completely right. I don't even look at pinned threads anymore.
Nice observation. ,)

Witcher 3: Blood and Wine.

Hm...out of all of those, I've only played Dark Souls 3, Darkest Dungeon, and Uncharted 4.

Out of those three, Dark Souls III has the most playtime for me (and the platinum), but I feel like it was...missing the magic from the first game, and even from the second game. Yes, you read that right, I enjoy Dark Souls II.

Darkest Dungeon, while I love the art style and the idea behind the game, beat me. When it came time to tackle level 5 dungeons, I just couldn't do it, so I got frustrated and gave up a few months ago. Recently started a new game, hoping things go different, but even besides all that, it's really grindy.

So I guess Uncharted 4 wins for me. It was beautiful for sure, and I liked the story, but without that magical element that all the others had, it felt lesser than the previous games. Still, I think it's a worthy end to the franchise, and the DLC coming out next year has me geared up to run through it again.

i don't give a shit about any of those options.

where's the "other" option?

I voted for Dark Souls 3, but Doom and Overwatch are both probably on equal grounds for me. Some of those choices seem very strange to me (weren't a bunch of the plotlines in Mankind Divide chopped off to be sold later?). I'd also toss a vote for Stellaris, but that's not on the list.

I really don't care how good Dishonored 2 is. I will probably get it some day, but not until the PC port is fixed. Maybe it'll be decent by the next Steam sale.

Darkest Dungeon looks like it has way too many unnecessary frustrations.
