All of those things are subjective since they're quite different. And you have to admit, the traversal controls are incredible in Spider-Man. The combat is enjoyable, even though not as deep as GoW. There was much to love about Spider-Man, but in the end, I feel GoW is the winner.
I think they could rival those games. Look at Horizon Zero Dawn. That was a first attempt at an open world RPG from that studio. First attempt. God of War doesn't need a massive open world, I thought the pacing was great due to the smaller size of the world and the dialogue/narrative decisions. Whether they should or not is another decision entirely, but I think they'd make an incredible open world experience if GoW 2018 is anything to go off of.
Pretty solid list, though Pokemon gen 8 is the only thing there that I'm interested in.
Though GoW is my personal GotY, it's nice to see Spider-Man get some love.
I love Naughty Dog. Can't wait to find out more about Ghost and DS though. Solid list.
It all comes down to marketing, cost, and apps. It will probably be another Ouya.
This list sucks, but to each his own.
No, it's not just you. The mechanics are dated as hell.
Easy. Make sure auto aim is enabled, aim, then move the reticle up a little bit. Shoot.
Rinse and repeat.
(Part of why this isn't my GotY).
Agreed.
My favorite thing is that God of War isn't even in their top 10 GotY list xD. Literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Edge has always hated God of War games though, they kinda suck (Edge, not GoW. GoW was amazing).
Sigrun doesn't play no games man.
#1 for me this year. Thanks SSM!
It's a cool concept, but it is not as powerful, so it really depends on what you want. There are many taxing games that can't run on Switch because of its inferiority. At the end of the day it all comes down to games, the most subjective aspect of all.
@thexmanone: Nah, that would be nice though. I'm more than happy to pay for those PS4 exclusives. It's literally why I make the choice of buying a console. I'm going to be picking up a Switch shortly as well. I usually get all consoles in a gen, but Xbox One literally offered nothing for me that I wanted that I can't find elsewhere. I don't care about their services or the system's power. Next gen may improve upon the lack of exclusives. I'll keep my eyes on Obsidi...
Yeah... I'll take good exclusives and slightly less power and keep an extra $500+ in my bank.
Apparently it is.
Really?
Solid list, though the order is highly debatable. Beauty of opinions though.
Haven't played Octopath, but I am really enjoying DQ XI. It's my second DQ game (next to DQXIII).
