Nah I'm a PC only player nowadays you plebeian. Seems I buy 10-15 new games a year if I'm lucky. The rest come from gifts and bundles. Also only play 4x and RPG's mostly.Stop playing only Madden and FIFA!
Stop playing only Madden and FIFA!
We are all fans of dice-governed universes anyway, RNG all the way!That is just too complicated. For the RPGWatch GOTY, I just ask you for 3 games, throw everything away and just make something up for the end result. It is much easier that way and as nobody has found out by now, I apparently am good at making stuff up.
I'll sum up 2020 for me personally.
In 2020 the vast majority of games were remakes, reboots, remasters, or independent games. I guess I'm an old grognard as most of those games didn't appeal to me.
That is to force people to make a decision.
Similar reasoning to Steam reviews only offering a good/bad review decision.
As soon as you allow a "meh" option, most people will automatically just pick that if they have no strong feelings about a game.
But having no strong feelings about a game makes the game pretty invalid for your GOTY, choice, so why even offer the option in this vote?
Steam reviews should still offer a neutral option, but that's not really related.
As you can see, in 2020 only two RPGs were really popular: Cyberpunk 2077 and Wasteland 3. And while Cyberpunk's position at the very top seems impressive, only 58% of voters played it. That's much lower than games like Divinity:OS2, Disco Elysium and even ELEX had.
