Have you seen the trailers. They have had 5-7 years and said they wanted to revolutionize the open world genre. They ARE on their AAA game right now! It’s gonna be even better than we think! I’m tellin ya!
While FC5 and AC just refine themselves and add new concepts, RDR2 will be setting a new open world bar...that will remain in place until 2077 releases!
Not sure why the downvotes. You are most likely right. Though there’s always some Indie or niche game also. Octopath sold well but not sure got high enough marks across the board. Guacamele 2 is coming and will be great. Not sure when Mega Man is releasing either.
Spider-Man will make a HUGE splash but I believe that GoWs story and epic scenes along with RDR2 ‘s dynamic open world gameplay will rule the day this yr.
I love GoW, but it absolutely can! Most likely both will win GotY from various places.
Not sure there will be time this yr for AC.
A good start lol!
I don’t think so honestly! This expansion looks to be everything we wanted from D2. And that’s great...but...
Why wasn’t this released last September? It’s not rehashing b/c they made a giant mistake that is almost unforgivable, by ignoring those who stood with them for D1 through its problems. It was a huge middle finger that stayed straight in our faces until March or April of this year.
And now, instead of being part of a clan of 100, with all my frien...
Very nice! I just want a Half Life 3 or Episode 3 mid!
I was very surprised Collin Moriarty chose this as his GotY so far. I understand why he would like it, but GotY?
The beginning of what is the NMS platform. Like Minecraft, I have always envisioned a game with the foundation and template to become something special. If they continue to update and provide tools...
Ultimately I want the ability to set up our own shops, and begin cultivating and populating systems. And with comms, we send out signals for others to come. The end,end,end game could be superb if it moved towards Eve Online’s structure of almost complete player control; build...
This is amazing!!!!! I miss this about DS! The original was sooo good because you could be invaded. And sometimes ppl would bring gifts for you and send you in treasure hunts.
I really hope you can interact in some way other than just invading to kill.
One of my favorite features in any game, be it DS or Dragon’s Dogma is the ability to give gifts to other ppl, leave notes etc!
Single player games are dead!
Such a dumb title. I would assume that at least RDR2 would have something to say about GotY. Yes, GoW was great, and it may win, but to crown it before Spider-Man or RDR2...crazy!
The story of the first two could have been sooooo much better. After the initial trailer I thought that we would see how she transformed from an innocent into what she is today. Instead, it’s wham...bam...I’m killing hundreds of you like it’s nothing. Complete disconnect.
And “brilliant” exploration. Swimming?
That’s funny!!!
So close to one every second. That’s madness!
Hint: Single player games and console identity sell hardware!!!! It isn’t just about raw numbers, though they are great too.
A lot of ppl buy Cod for the campaign. That is my guess. But we will see!
Too bad though! My GotY last year. An amazing mix od DS and Ninja Gaiden with legit endgame content. Played for like 6 months!
Better watch this guy close. That’s one hell of an emotional roller coaster over the last 8-15 months. Start a YouTube channel, get noticed by IGN, get hired as Nintendo’s editor and host NVC. Doom is your first review and then this! All in less than 2 yrs.
Watch him close. I bet depressed wouldn’t even begin to explain this guy right now!
GoW has the story in lockdown. BUT, RDR2 will offer real choice as you live with your own gang. I believe that it’s immersion has an equal if not better chance to draw ppl in.
