People's Choice Game of the Year

Indeed. And eff Blizzard. Overwatch = overrated.

For me, Uncharted 4 was the best in the series (Uncharted 2 was a close second). Overwatch is crap. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. Doom was fun, Well, the campaign was anyways. Multiplayer was kinda meh. Doing The Carlton over someone's body was hilarious though.

No surprise as Gamespot is predominantly visited by ps fans. UC 4 is certainly not the best game this year.

Uncharted 4 was my vote as well, but I would have voted Witcher 3's Blood And Wine had it been an option!

Unchatered 4, great game but to much 'move crate on wheels' or 'ow look ancient cave, how do I get up that 8 foot wall? Lucky for me a lone box was left to use as a hop up'

This just shows that Overwatch is not as beloved as critics wants to make us believe. Happy that Uncharted 4 won.

Well people are obviously morons. Call of Duty Infinite Warfare was the obvious win!

Not even the 2nd best Uncharted game. I guess the series can do no wrong for others.

I would've gone with Final Fantasy XV or Dark Souls III, but hey, Uncharted's still great. It had it all, a great cast of characters, a stunning single player experience with fast, fluid, "raw" gameplay and a great and ever expanding multiplayer.

What did Overwatch have? An overrated multiplayer with generic cartoon characters that they tried to flesh out with animated shorts.

Personally, Uncharted 4, while great, I don't think it measured up to UC3. Personal opinion there. While there was a good family dynamic now, I actually think with him being married, a kid, etc, that it took away from what made him a dynamic playboy character. The ending for UC4 just left me wanting more than what they gave us. It's a great game, don't get me wrong, but not the best UC game made. That goes to 3. Easily.

Also, if you haven't tried it, Hyper Light Drifter is pretty awesome. So is Inside and Thumper is surprisingly addicting. As far as this list goes I'd have to say that DOOM is, by far, the best experience on any platform. It has a rock solid single player campaign, the MP is off the hook and SnapMap is amazingly easy to use. There's no previous game from DOOM that even measures up to how excellent it is. It's just so damn fun.

MEDIOCRE!! Sorry--just couldn't help myself.

(If anyone has slogged through the big-budget names on this sad little list and find themselves in need of something a little less..."meh," do try the likes of Owlboy, Hyper Light Drifter, Stardew Valley, and Quadrilateral Cowboy. If nothing else, they may serve as a reminder that "fun" is not a four-letter-word.)

What was the total number of voters overall?

@NBKNAS:It's certainly more convenient to watch someone else play Uncharted 4 than to play it oneself.

Lol, why? It's the same crap as before.

So I thought about this a long time. How did Overwatch get game of the year? Why not uncharted 4?

So of course a lot of people were disappointed with Overwatch winning GOTY, from uncharted 4 supporters (not fanboys.. show some respect :) ) to other video game players that were against a multiplayer game like overwatch winning GOTY. But hopefully, I can explain why Overwatch won GOTY. Just think about the title "Game of the year". What does it really mean? The "game" of the year. A game that stands out from the rest of the game in some way.

Sure Uncharted 4 was excellently crafted and created but it wasn't something "new" or "mind-blowing". If Uncharted 4 was capable of redefining the entire Uncharted series and could somehow surprise players by its massive potential, it probably would have won GOTY. But instead, it was more of a refinement, a send-off to Nathan Drake and to the world of Uncharted, so obviously, nothing in it was "revolutionary", same old game mechanics, polished to insane levels. Despite this it definitely is an amazing and I do encourage PS4 players to buy it.

Overwatch on the other hard, was something "new" I guess. It took mainstream FPS games to a whole new level, that was unique and most of all, fun, as said by many people. It instantly caught peoples' attention in which Uncharted 4 could not. It became one of the top streamed game on twitch, followed by a lot of popularity and support. I'm not sure whether I agree with this but many people did say Overwatch managed to get many elements from other FPSs and popular games like TF2 and managed to create something immerse and new that people though really "stood out" from other games this year.

So to wrap up, the main thing that set Uncharted 4 and Overwatch apart was their sense of uniqueness and freshness, and how much they managed to stand out from other mainstream games. Both these games are amazing, and I love them both. But I'm just gonna say it as well, I don't think Overwatch is worth the money u pay for it, I would probs pay make $35 for it.

i didn't really get into uncharted 1-3. they really didn't capture me. uncharted 4 did capture me. It was a very very good movie-like game. the story was better than most of the movies i saw in 2016. Action sequences were plot out nicely. Emotional touches were nice too.

I bought overwatch on sale for ~40$ for PC. played 20 minutes and haven't touched it since. I felt like i wasted my money. I felt CSGO (competitive mode) is way more polished game than overwatch.

So much whining about Overwatch yet it was #2 over all your fanboys fav.

grats to Uncharted 4. Enjoyed watching someone playing it. real nice story(don't like to play against A.I. especially in a guided tour kind of gameplay)
