Mehtroid's dream of the Oscar are officially dead. What a mess

 

[BarbaraMorrigan]

However, the bulk of the GOTY award goes to the public vote. The one that counts is the Critics' Choice Award, which excludes Necrokiller's list.

I am so fucking happy that Returnal got the recognition it deserved. Such an amazing underated gem of last year.

Main aisay hi nahi kehta the trio of Nintendo, Rockstar, and Naughty Dog is top-tier. There's statistical evidence (apparently, Necrokiller certified too ) to back it

 

[Necrokiller]

Oho, Necrokiller iss tally ko bhi track karta tha.

Hahahahahahahaha khudi clarification de di. kthnx.....

...oh wait, that list has Witcher 3 above BoTW (and Lulz of Us, and RDR2). Does CerebralTiger really want to bring that into the discussion?

 

[CerebralTiger]

Different years, different competitiooon

The important thing to note here is that list of top-tier devs, and CD Pee Pee is nowhere to be found

 

[Necrokiller]

Different years, different competitiooon

Not a criteria of the person who compiled the results

 

[CerebralTiger]

But what of the top-tier devs?

 

[Necrokiller]

Witcher 3 is above every Rockstar and Nintendo game. Top-tier indeed

 

[CerebralTiger]

Not enough for CDPR to chart in the top devs list. Even below Lulzsteady, yikes!!

 

[Necrokiller]

CDPR ki ek game hi poore Nintendo aur Rockstar catalogue pe bhaari par gai. Luckily for Nintendo, 2017's cooompetition was poor

 

[CerebralTiger]

CDPR ki latest and most ambitiooooous game ka tou naam-o-nishaan hi nahi hai. Not a top-tier dev, then

Witcher 3 is above every Rockstar and Nintendo game.

But below the game that hurts you the most

 

[Necrokiller]

It only needs to be above Nintendo and Rockstar open wooooorlds. That's gotta hurt CerebralTiger the most

 

[CerebralTiger]

But their most ambitioooous and "generation ahead" open world game isn't even on the list, let alone ahead of Nintendo and Rockstar

 

[Necrokiller]

But

Hahahahahahaha

Aur hamesha ke liye jalti rahe gi. Witcher 3 > any Nintendo + Rockstar game ever

 

[CerebralTiger]

Same year mein release hoti tou Witcher 3 couldn't hold a candle to a Nintendo or Rockstar game. Jab aik top-tier developer i.e. Naughty Dog, se compete karna parha, tou CD Pee Pee lost miserably. Just goes to show. No place in the top-tier devs list. Yikes!!
