Every goty winner from 1990-2020

Resident Evil 4 & everyone trying to copy it's third person over the shoulder gameplay. HL2 inspired the realism graphics meme

>Alive
yes
>Well
no

Gaming is fine right now, but there was no reason to care about GOTY after fucking Oblivion got it.

If we go by the GOTY metric, it'd be 2006. Some might argue 2005.
Bioshock as a GOTY shows that consolitis kicked into high gear.

shit, good, good, mediocre, good, who? Virtua Fighter?, good, good, good, shit
shit, good, shit, good, mediocre, shit, mediocre, shit, shit, shit
shit, shit, shit, shit, mediocre, shit, good, shit, shit, not GOTY yet, nice try schlomo
not GOTY yet, nice try sclomo
games aren't worse, 'journalists' just got worse
and even the top row has stupid shit like the Sims beating Homeworld and MK2 beating Doom, Master of Orion and Link's Awakening

>GOTY winner
according to whom?

but Sekiro won GOTY last year

If Factorio doesn't win 2020 GOTY then every gaming 'journos' got 1000% filtered. Absolutely the best game released this year (1.0), and the fact that it might be the best example of Early Access done right is only part of that reason.
Otherwise

Cope, RE2 got the most critic awards in 2019

It's obviously going to be cyberpunk, even if it's a 7/10 it has too much hype behind it not to get GOTY.

you can see the rapid decline in quality after metroid prime

Witcher 3 is by far the best game on this list. No one can surpass it other than CDPR

it's a great game but remakes shouldn't count.

Bait harder

Everything after the first row is brown soulless garbage, except for BOTW which sticks out like a green thumb.

RE4 was to gaming what shrek was to western animation, it was revolutionary and very well received when it first came out, but ruined the industry since every other product that came afterwards tried to emulate it, leading to stagnation

I....know. :( Whenever the fuck "goty" changed from "genre-defining masterpiece" to "solid sales numbers and reasonably bug-free experience backed by massive advertising campaign" is when gaming died.

2006 is when that changed

Since RE4 everything going down, some interesting exceptions but a lot of shitty games AND a lot of shitty players

After re4, you can see that they almost all tried to copy it and they all failed

>the walking dead
i still don't get it
the games from that year was really that bad?
i can't remember

What are some games that should have won GOTY, so that other developers could take inspiration from them instead of the games that actually won that year?

Dark Souls in 2011, New Vegas in 2010

Holy fuck and most of newfags can't understand that shit, a lot of redundant "friends" tell me
>they care about the fandom
>it has a lot of content and that's hard
>the game doesn't have a lot of bugs
>Its fun to me and easy so I don't get mad
>I will forget about a lot of stuff in the game in the next 5 years.
Come on, on the 90s there was a plenty of MEMORABLY games, you can remember a lot of dungeons, levels, enemies, all of that, I don't wanna be niggerboomer but fuck y just played hotline Miami and I can't remember a single stage, just some lines on the game and the music...
They don't make games anymore, they just make coonsumer shit and most of my """intelligent""" friends can't see that because Muh graphics muh big open world muh there's rain on the game. It really makes me sad
