Uncharted definitely got snubbed.

Blizzard could shit in the street and millions of people would eat it.

Overwatch won an award that means absolutely nothing

but fuck uncharted shits overrated as fuck

maybe nd will work on a new jak and daxter now

Considering that Overwatch has over 20 million players, I'm not surprised.

A game doesn't need a campaign to be good.  It's extremely addicting, well-balanced, and it's the best FPS multiplayer experience that has an extremely inviting and accessible game flow without compromising the competitive meta.

Uncharted 4 was one of my favorites to come out this year, and as entertaining and beautiful of a thriller it was, its actual story doesn't hold up that well to the previous games, and definitely not to TLoU. 

None of what I said is new critique, but I think Overwatch did multiplayer shooters better than Uncharted 4 did SP narratives.

(Actual semi-spoilers)

My favorite part was when they built up this huge neglectful asshole-husband side-narrative, just for them to drop it out of nowhere right at the part where Drake was supposed to pay for his actions and the two were supposed to have any depth.  Same with how Drake's brother just gets away lying to him the whole game.  Literally zero consequences for anything in this story. 
The game had some of the best environments (and they ditched the parts where you find stupid shit like zombies/Avatars), but there were never any "holy-shit" moments (the cliff-train, the crashed plane, the sinking ship, etc...).

UC4 is the best Uncharted what are you talking about

Someone explain to me why people bitch and moan at titanfall for having no singleplayer, yet Team Fortress for Normies gets away with it scott free and wins GOTY.

At least Titanfall actually had an ingame story. Even Destiny doesn't make you pay for Brian Reed-tier Sword Art Online comics books to get the story.

Team Fortress established all of its characters except Pyro pre launch. OVerwatch did something similar, but not as in depth with the characters, and more the universe. Titanfall did none of this.

It won a worthless award, because I'm sure I'll see 'game of the year editions' soon


But is anyone actually surprised?

I don't like Overwatch

Spoiler

i was also kinda surprised that it was glossed over how much of a fuck up Drake made. His wife is very forgiving i guess..

what did he do

overwatch was more fun for more people than titanfall ever was

And Transformers movies continue to be big hits at the box office despite being terrible movies.

whats your point

Yeah, Overwatch won literally because it's extremely popular.

The reason I'm triggered is because I think GOTY awards should at least TRY to be a little bit objective. You may like Overwatch and think it's a fun game--I think it looks kinda fun, and I've been following it casually over the past couple months--but to say it's GOTY just because millions of people play it?

I mean, yeah, it's a meaningless award. But it's only meaningless because games like Overwatch can win it.
