One of the biggest issues that a lot of gamers have with the current landscape of the video game journalism ring (though, some would prefer we call it the “video game advertorialism” ring) is the lack of transparency, disclosure and honesty. In fact, #GamerGate exists explicitly because of the unprofessional impropriety by select journalists who opted to run damage control instead of taking accountability for their nepotistic behavior and industry-defaming antics.

i thought a site that Sony helped found would have rated it higher then 8th.....
PS for those wondering
“Polygon launches out of the box with backers in Geico, Sony, and Unilever. ”

Strange I always thought Polygon was funded by MS.
I haven't read any of the article but im going to take a wild guess and say Persona 5 will take number one.
After all, you want Horizon Zero Dawn to be outcast and shunned. In the end, the game deserves a spotlight for what is accomplished.
I thought any serious site would have rated it better than #8. How polygon came to be is totally off topic and uninteresting.
@gangsta_red and @Kribwalker If I want to respect you, it should have been start in first place. But now, it’s no longer there. The only time I agree with people like you in gaming community is where things are get complicated from left and right and middle. About Horizon Zero Dawn, if I have to be honest, yes i was upset that Horizon Zero Dawn hasn’t received many awards like others and been mocked fun by people who doubt GG talent. But in the end, Horizon Zero Dawn deserves something what is accomplished. It create a new community like myself and a new franchise to go even further.
So since we all know your just trying to make Horizon look bad. I'd just like to point out that as of writing this Sony has 3 exclusives in their top ten and Microsoft has 0.

So that's Tuesdays, right?
lol....typical kribwalker nonsense. polygon received funding from MS as well. Why do you post so much bullshit?
One of the best games I've played this year, and the best new IP this generation.
I'm not saying it should've won (which it could have), but I find it seriously hard to believe that there are 7 better games this year than Horizon, horizon it's top 5 at least.
@Deep-throat
You maybe right, but that would've been a great time to literally put your money where you're mouth is. It is easy to say the things you say, ready, there're literally tons of games better than that game.
See super easy but yet I get nothing done though. It sounds like I am lying.
It's fairly subjective, but I can think of a few games that were still stellar this year to give good competition to Horizon. It's been a pretty good year for gaming.
No it's good. On closer inspection, Sony has 3 in their top 10, as well. All the more impressive, when you consider MS didn't have any..
I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbor told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do>> http://4u.fyi/4k9
Certainly top 4. Some mix of BotW, Mario, HZD, and...I dunno...PUBG? Even though I don't think PUBG should be considered until it hits a v1 release. But HZD should be up there.
Magnificent piece William. Keep up the good work and the support for gamers.
More gamers need to start their own blogs to counter the lies and misdirection. At the moment we as gamers are hoping someone will do the job for us whilst the likes of people in the article are constantly being proactive on landing and spreading their agenda.
Excellent article!
We need to Tweet the article to Yoshida, reggie and Phil, and ask them how they feel about corruption, lack of ethics, if it hurts them and their 1st parties and # gamergate and 4theplayers.
The more of us that do it the more traction it will get. Need to be proactive.
Well, the zeitgeist has blown up at least.
Looks like a journo is going around as a silent disagree fairy in the comments lol
