Good for Vinny for sticking up for Mario Odyssey. Best 3D Mario. Think BOTW wins 2017 just because of what a leap it was but I can see an argument for Odyssey being a more polished game.
For the most part, the justifications and deliberations were solid and I enjoyed them listening to them all. However, In retrospect PUBG had no business winning in 2017. BOTW is still fondly talked about and remembered and it was a fresh start that Zelda desperately needed. BOTW was a monumental game and the most important entry since OOT. By contrast, really nobody gives a crap about PUBG. Whereas BOTW will be talked about for decades.
2014 same. That year had great gems but somehow a mediocre Arkham clone won?
2008 was a massive disappointment as a year in gaming goes considering how amazing 2007 was. GTAIV and MGS4 are still to this day the worst entries in their franchises and I doubt that is controversial in this day and age. That year was full of disappointments.
Arkham Asylum is leaps and bounds better than Uncharted 2. Agreed there. Although Demon's Souls deserves to win but GB didn't come through.
2011 Skyrim was such an embarrassingly regressed game compared to something like Morrowind, that it was embarrassing seeing it hailed as the second coming. Dark Souls is an EASY win here.
While I do love Sunshine myself, it was still impossible to disagree with ANYTHING Jeff had to say regarding the discourse around reviews online. At this point, I have just accepted the fact that this is just an internet thing and it will never really change. It seems to just keep getting worse over the years.
@haz_kaj: This game isn't like Witcher 3 according to them. You sound like a conspiracy nut. As if GB has something against CDPR and that they couldn't possibly like their games. It looks embarrassing on your part.
Sunshine is a fantastic ass Mario game. Nothing more to it than that. It was worthy and bold follow up to Mario 64. The movement and controls are still the best out of any Mario game.
That aside, this collection truly does suck. Worst and laziest collection i have seen in a long whille. Sucks that fans have already thrown money at this garbage, so i expect more worthless cash grab collections comming our way soon.
Not as good as 64,Sunshine, Galaxy or Odyssey. Still pretty OK, but this was pretty disappointing for a mainline Mario game that didn't push any boundaries. Especially so when considering this was Nintendo's first HD console. It was just more of 3D Land but without the stereoscopic 3D. Just felt like Wii U was done when this came out and it was. (Man the Wii U SUCKED)
It is like the best controlling 3D platformer EVER. One peek at any speedrun proves this without a shadow of a doubt. This is honestly enough for me to dismiss his opinions.
LIKE I GET IT YEEEY SHITTING ON SUNSHINE IS A MEME ON GIANTBOMB.COM but sheesh cmon it was a great game.
Also 64 had a faaar worse camera and it was also inverted but of course only Sunshine gets shat on.
