Rank every GOTY game since 2003

[Randy Lahey]

I saw some numptie do this on youtube and noticed how much i ended up disagreeing with the majority of his list, figured id do a list on here and see how much of a difference my opinion is to others on here.

1. GTA San Andreas. Brilliant game, not just gameplay wise but changed the scope of what a third person game could do for the future.
2. Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. Is it the second best game on this list? No, but paved the way for western rpgs to regularly be released on other platforms besides PC.
3. The Witcher 3. Brilliant Game. WRPG refined to perfection.
4. GTA IV. Yeah i might get some blowback here but it was ahead of its time, even though its controls werent as refined as GTA V. I feel like the attention to deal, physics and story of it outstrips that game by a distance.
5. Skyrim. Brilliant Game, that you could argue is better than Oblivion, but wasnt as important for WRPGs, since without it this game would never have existed.
6. Red Dead Redemption. Brilliant Game, hard to believe rockstar from 2010 is the same company it is in 2024.
7. Bioshock. Without it you wouldnt have the story driven FPSs coming out today.
8. Breath Of The Wild - Zelda. Another brilliant Zelda game that seems to be either overrated or underrated by most people
9. Uncharted 2. Perfected the over the shoulder shooter story driven gameplay NG is known for. That devs finest hour
10.Baldurs Gate 3. Great game, but massively overrated. If it had used Diablo like combat instead of the roll the dice D & D stuff it did do it would be higher on the list. Top 5 at least
11. Resident Evil 4. Far from my favorite RE (REmake, RE2 OG, RE3 and CV are all better in my eyes), but a brilliant game in its own right. I'd probably like it way more if it was its own IP and not a RE game.
12. Elden Ring. Most overrated game on this entire list. I would argue From Software are the most overrated game dev of all time on top of it. Boring clunky gameplay, washed out graphics, gameplay no different to any of the other Soulslikes they made in the past. Another example of a game where a lot of it fans bought into its hype because it was trendy to do so.
13. Madden 04. Hilarious how a football game from 20 years ago has 20x the features 25 does. I will say though that NFL2K5 is the greatest football game ever made but since GOTY awards/normies seem to hate SEGA it was never going to win it.
14. Sekiro. Good refinement of the Nioh/NG game formula
15. GTA V. Overrated as hell, would be higher if R* didnt turn this into a FOMO online game full of macrotransactions
16. God Of War 2018. Does my head in how this got a GOTY award and the far superior OG trilogy never won even one of them.
17. Last of Us Part 2. Brilliant graphics, good gameplay let down by horrible writing. Whoever thought it was a good idea to kill off the protoganist from the original game deserves to be fired
18. Walking Dead (Telltale series). Good games, but another game that i dont feel deserved to get a GOTY award.
19. Overwatch. Overrated, and the loot box phenomenon it spawned made me very tempted to put this dead last on this list.
20.Dragon Age Inquistion. Another game totally undeserving of a GOTY nomination, let alone a high spot on it.
21. It takes two. Any game that requires a second person to be able to play it should automatically disqualify it from any GOTY discussion. end of.

most these were just bad....40 hours in to skyrim and without mods there is no real reason to play that game......god of boring with kids......

3 games in the list that were good....both GTA's minus the online....and bioshock......overwatched dog excrement just reminded me of lawyers chasing ambulances

Writing is but gameplay and controls suck so i give it like a 7 or 8

For me? Rimworld. Which year? Every year since it's been released.

wow..the lost crown? I got that physical copy at walmart for 15 dollars. Suprised it won. It must be a pretty decent game. I only played the first area on it.

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

Well Astro Bot won.
