Uncharted 4 seems more like movie of the year to me. Overwatch would probably be my pick also. Great game in general.
But the awards are a joke anyway. Seems more often than not that moar hype = awards.

Not 4 speciffically, i played the earlier ones and watched reviews and criticizms of 4 though. Seems veritably anemic in terms of gameplay and design. Looks like a good adventure movie that forces you to play annoying minigames in between movie-bits :P

But these games are not for me, i dont understand why pretty cutscenes trump game design. But i know its massively popular. It just seems utterly justified that OW got the award however. Good choice imo.

I was just asking, but I am in full agreement. Uncharted 4 was my first Uncharted as the games always seemed like hyper interactive movies so I avoided them at all costs, but the hype surrounding it intrigued me so I bought it, played it, completed it, got a better informed opinion and realised this game just isn't for me.

The graphics and attention to detail were relentless throughout and the game never stopped looking amazing but I can only push forward and smash the X button so many times.

Overwatch is really the only pick for GOTY. Even though Award shows are supremely subjective, I would have lost a bit of hope in the gaming industry had Uncharted taken GOTY instead of Overwatch at The Game Awards.

Rocket League: It's the game I put the most hours into this year. Have the best devs and the best financial model. It even beats Overwatchs since I can trade in game items and crates with other players for crate items. The devs releases all maps for free and features the community is asking for. The next update hits Dec 7 and will feature a new map, a custom training mode, steam workshop support, free christmas items, a map remodeled into a snowy/christmas map and probably a lot of other features I can't remember atm.

There's also less randomness in it's ranked gamemode compared to other competetive team games. Every player has similar cars and hits the same ball. Only difference between cars is the hitbox and turn radius.

Dirt Rally: Best rally game I played since Richard Burns.

Overwatch: At it's best Overwatch is in here too. At it's worst random teammates destroy the game by instapicking characters they can't play in ranked basically loosing you the game before it even started. And that happens alot which makes me beyond salty.

Rocket League was on last year award so it didn't qualify for this year. It even won the indy game of the year 2015.

And I agree about Overwatch. Definitely well deserved and no other game came close to it.

Also, Dirt Rally at least deserved a nomination on best sport/racing, and Starbound also deserved a nomination on indy game.

Well deserved.

Started playing it so late last year that it qualified for my list this year instead. :)

Uncharted 4 for me. Dishonored almost took it, but bugs ruined it.

Still gotta play last guardian though, so it's all to play for.
