Most of those are completly boring garbage though and they are all such different genres.

Just claiming a game was good or sold well doesn't make it good.
Just watching playthroughs or hearing asmongold's opinion on a game doesn't make it good.

Nobody enjoys garbage metroidvania like Silksong. Nobody who plays garbage rogue like like Hades 2 (LGBT and female protagonist) likes first person 200 hours long boring RPGs like Kingdom Come 2.

Also putting Silent Hill F there when nobody enjoyed the combat and no silent hill fan is actually interested in it is so pathetic. Not to mention Ghost of Yotei. And alters was so ignored and the only people who cared about it was anti ai retards.

>>
>>722258465
I can speak from experience and verify that several of these games don't deserve the scores they got. That "Ninja Gaiden" game, for example, was dog shit and didn't deserve that score. It's as if it was designed specifically for game journalists to feel good about themselves and bait a good score out of them. It bears practically no resemblance to its namesake.
I'd also note that it'd be a pretty sad "generational year" if you have to include a port of a game from an actual such year to try and justify it.
>>
>>722258465
there are a lot of sequels and remakes on that chart

halo 2 is worse than halo 1
cave story is mediocre and the only hting of note about it is that it was one of the "first" indies, nowadays every year you get over 100 random indie plataformers every year that are better in every way
pikmin 2 is MUCH worse than pikmin 1
zero mission is just a remake
katamary damacy, sly 2 and ratchet 3 are just games for literal babies. Just like the people that are trying to push dk bananza as a real goty contender when it's the type of game you can't enjoy if you are over the age of 5.
ninja gaiden is just worse dmc.
megaman zero 3 is just derivative and worse than hte X series.
As I was saying, all of these range from okay to garbage. Something like halo 2 is a 6/10 while cave story is like a 4/10.

Ah yes, what a time to be a "gamer"
You can sip the koolaid all you want, but this is gaming since gen 7 has been a steady decline to shit, and tired of pretending it's not for the sake of being a gud consoomer.

I forgot that most of these games even came out. I agree that they aren't all terrible. But none of them will be remembered in 5 to 10 years. Fake positivity is just as bad as being super negative all the time.

Weird year. I don't know how to articulate it. When I see the image in OP
- those lists are based on reviewers scores, and despite everyone agreed reviewing outlets are garbage written by complete shills and non-gamers, the same crowd still obsesses over "scores" and the doritos mountain dew "award" as if they were meaningful
- those metrics have nothing to do with game design quality and everything to do with popularity, narratives, marketing, virality, which at this point are so disconnected from games themselves and driven entirely by shit like streamers and fotw fomo fads, audiences that care more for perma-online parasocial bullshit and "being part of a thing" than principled assessments of games themselves
- this "GOTY" mentality is like an extension of console warring, and what's most bizarre is death of nuance, this quest for cultural uniformity and forced consensus. Death of understanding there are niches. Seeing old school, mid-budget RPG and metroidvania triumph over over-polished AAA movie games should be positive signs, but those breakouts seem so forced because fueled by FOMO brainrot and online-social narratives rather than organic love of the games. Why does E33 has to be GOTY instead of just a good RPG for RPG fans?
- people are desperate for "GOTY" contenders, even if the reality of the game doesn't match. Eg, SHf by all metrics is a mediocre spin-off that got propped up by its brand name and its fanbase' desperation to believe it could be fixed (it hasn't, but regardless, it had its watercooler moment and therefore must be included). So many of these games are propped up even before they come out, eg Silksong and Hades 2, just because they have rabid fanbases and the first game were journo darlings or, more insidiously, because they create good engagement clickbait. And that's the other parts of why journos are so despicable, not only are they shills to marketers but they also follow fomo and fuel clickbait fads and adjust scoring accordingly.
>>
>>722268419
You can just not give a shit about reviews, marketers, and hype and form your own opinions though. Doing the opposite of what reviewers enjoy isn't forming your own opinion, either. I liked Silksong without following much of the shilling around it. I put 100 hours into Blue Prince without knowing a thing about it beforehand. The year had some good games.
>>
>>722263918
>katamary damacy, sly 2 and ratchet 3 are just games for literal babies.
Holy shit taste, never type again
>>
>>722268659
A lot of games are now being designed from the ground up with streamers, journo taste, "the algorithm", etc. in mind. You wish you could avoid it but you can't. Just like when the big trends were casualization or cover shooters and they corrupted every other genre and niche.
