The best comments
I am not at all that I was delighted myself, but it is worth admitting that it was Pubg that ultimately set the new fashion for the genre of Batle Royale, that in general achievement.
just a force on Steam was not sold, therefore Pubg)
… alas, such a result is “democracy in action” (in its worst manifestation)
Most stupidly vote for the game that they play (even if it is the only one)), or for the one in which they play the most.
(for example, I voted not for those games in which I have the most hours, but for those that are objectively better)
Damn it, and even lay out the voting statistics and write a description of the nominees, at least a couple of sentences from the page of the game/developer, would be naughty higher than what they presented
Not the industry drowned in the piano, but the PC industry drowned in the piano. On the same PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch still live and enlighten large, worked out, beautiful and atmospheric games that continue to delight their fans.
I gogged like a goose, when I watched this video mounted on my knee and in stream on Twich, and in a direct broadcast in steamv. There was a lot of yoke in the game of the year, the chats were just bombed! This is where the Epic was the most.
Well, and if for cleanliness: I love a witcher, but Sannika is worthy.
You know, this whole situation resembles insanity to me. Provine, Valve is an old grandfather, whom everyone loves for past merits, but who has already forgotten his own name and knows how to only go for himself. And everyone is just out of politeness and wait for him when he finally moves horses.
The same as in other cases: in a number there are quite clear ones, independent of the subject (player) of characteristics.
Say, I do not like the plot and, in general, the world of the Witcher, but the game is objectively one of the best, against the background of a modern game of the game. Or I like Revelations 2, but objectively it remained at the level of beta version, with a number of shortcomings (while the port on the PC is generally curved in the pedal)
It is clear that with votes you choose, usually from a free (t.e. with a certain share of subjectivity); but from this it is already necessary to choose by objective parameters Games, and not personal (subjective), telling, the time of management, cockroaches in my head or financial situation (like, “I have no money and the game is free!11 ")
Ueskar came out above.
For a millionth company, it was necessary to try to do so. =)
You are right about the fact that you can vote for what you play right for you and for voting. However, about Fordnight, they would vote for it if it was on the list))) everywhere restrictions, in games, in life, and in the vote)))
I myself did not play them, but according to the reviews there was a good plot in them, but it was very painful to play them. But oh well
But at the expense of the “praise of the mass audience” – I don’t remember this particularly, many “on the clothes” and perceived it. Even on Steam to "C" reached only ~ 20%
I also did not reach with. If only because the gameplay for 9C is incredibly dull. The game is not a very diverse combat system, so you also take your second weapons. In addition, the technical condition of the PC version, even with fixes at the time of passage, was set by FPS and bugs drops, such as the impossibility of activating the statue boss in the entertainment park. Therefore, I think that 80% could not reach her for the same reason, but to familiarize themselves with the remaining stories from the video.
colorful characters; harmonious, consistent (as far as I know) the plot; excellent logic and the intersection of many quests/solutions that together affect the changes in the world (in the RPGMAKER you can’t wind this closely. And in the same "megachit" RDR2 is also much more deplorable); a worthy physicist (yes, I am in the know bugs on the curling iron, but this is the problem of a limited platform, not games; especially since the voting of Steam, which is a PC Platform), a good and well -varyable (in terms of difficulty) combat system; chic voice acting at all levels (especially Russian localization); Excellent (albeit with small generation flaws) and large -scale Environment.
In general, the atmosphere of the game is deep, integral and, at the same time, quite flexible.
Such a set of qualities, over the past 20 years, probably, I do not remember. In connection with which some flaws are forgiven.
Simple mechanics are not bad, and even fine, in the case of such a volume (much better than an attempt to alienate, which clearly destroys the integrity of the world). If they fit into the atmosphere, and they fit. The Witcher, in general, is a ready character, we are not “from childhood to retirement”, but only a fairly small piece of life.
Add DRM-Free position of developers/publishers, and we get a nearby creation (according to objective, I repeat, parameters).
In this context, “game” is a product representing the totality of all its components. Including a policy of distribution/monetization.
And in the case of RPG, the most significant of them, By definition are the plot and atmosphere.
There is such a genre of games (for me so "underput") as a "visual novel". What are the mechanics?
And there are still masterpieces, say, bitemapa. There is all salt in a limited set of simple mechanics. Or shooters, such.
I’m to the fact that the judgment
just, there is subjectivity in a square.
Interactive mechanics only part (in the case of RPG not the largest) "Games".
You, Musier, argue with yourself. At first you have "no development", then "pumping from Nuba to pro".
The key here is "in my understanding". This is subjectivity.
I said that it is necessary to evaluate (in a good way) more objective.
If we talk about "equalization" – one more masterpiece can be given as an example: "Nier: automata"
A very difficult project and interweaving is a project that really deserves all sorts of praise (but quite difficult to perceive the mass audience due to the wise structure).
So, the developers of this game directly said that the game in the Witcher was somewhat demoralized, in view of the highest quality.
So, unlike you, the creators of another masterpiece (with what the creators, who successfully eaten the dog on RPG), were guided precisely on the witcher, as an example of quality.
Something tells me that the assessment of these professionals, inside their group, was more sociable than yours;) R
But, most importantly, this means that the witcher, still, is enough “a masterpiece for equalization” – in fact.
