Anon I'll be honesty, 2026 has been pretty lackluster in the games department imo. It wasn't all bad, but do you even have a GOTY?
Of the decade, even.
>>749025507What games even came out this year, it all blurs together.
>>749025743nothing. alll other devs were shitting bricks that GTA VI was going to be released in May so have held back their games until 2027. that backfired
>>749025507Control Resonant then Onimusha
Crimson Desert
>>749025507Fire Emblem has been good, and I enjoy Onimusha.
>>749025743Fire Emblem Blood of DawnwalkerResident Evil 9PragmataOnimushaMonster Hunter Stories 3Control ResonantNioh 3Crimson DesertAce CombatAll good gamesThen you have mid but not bad gamesGears of WarRune Factory007Hellraiser
>>749025507For sheer lack of competition, Monsters & MemoriesIt's the only game from this year that I've actually played.
>>749025507It will be GTA6 even if its dogshit.
>>749025507Resident Evil sweep because Capcom is the newest industry darling
>>749025507it's gonna be GTA just because it's GTA, exactly like in 2013
1. Saros2. Control 2They kind of resemble each other in many ways (zoomed out third person, fluid movement, expressive environments, constantly dancing with waves of enemies - and even the ability to almost fully customise your player experience). Giving the edge to Saaros because it was a more tight experience.
>>749026861It’s too late in the year for it to get goty but it will be that in 27
>>749025507Poke ALL Toads or Emuurom.
>>749026767so nothing then
Well Pragmata is my goty but GTA6 will obviously win goty at the game awards. https://youtu.be/WZ_OfAYn3_I
>>749025507Only games I really enjoyed this year were RE9 and Pragmata but I wouldn't give them more than an 8/10.
>>749027812This is literally me
For me, it was Sprawl Zero
I unironically had the most fun with Highguard (RIP). That’s my GOTY. I also think it would be great if popular sentiment around Highguard turns positive so that the execs that ran Wildlight will never get hired again for their industry famous blunder.
>>749025507Zero Company was really fun
Big Walk
>>749026767Rune Factory was last year dummy.
>>749025507No. Jesus, gaming is so bad I don't even look forward to anything anymore.
>>749025507sure lets see there was, uhhhhh...
I only play chinese and korean live service games these days. I don't care about normal games anymore that people move on after a week.
>>749025507It's Crimson Desert but it wont win because journalists are buddies with all their western AAA faggots who didn't like it because it proved they are lazy fucks.
>>749026767And somehow you forgot Highguard.Don't worry though, everyone forgot it released in January.
>>749025507No contest.
>>749031339nioh 3? onimusha? re9? any japanese game, literally? still all bangers. all the rest are crap
ace combat 8 is pretty damn good
In no particular order the best games I've played this yearOnimusha Denshattack Splatoon Raiders Mina the HollowerResident Evil 9Pragmata
>>749033026Just shows that gaming awards are becoming just as irrelevant as the Oscars.
>>749033026Crimson Desert is boring though
>>749035127>becomingwelcome to 2007
Diana won
>>749036678It will be completely ignored by the Geoff awards desu.
pragmata was mid
>>749036897
>>749036897Name a more sovlful game in 2026
>>749037010ace combat 8"sovlful" means nothing so I'm just going with "good"
>>749037057Wrong
>>749037057>battlepass shillbot 8You are why we can't have nice things, cuckEnjoy your memory leak and rapacious anti-consumer garbage, good job clapping for the ruin of another formerly great franchise, I hope you get what you deserve
