Yeah true, I guess I'm more against the whole phallus waggling contest especially from publications that will just say whatevers the most popular game won game of the year. It's uninspired and I can't derive any new recommendations from it.
Isn't that kind of the definition of "game of the year"? It's not meant to recommend games, it's meant to recognize games.
If you asked people they would say a variety of games, ask publications and it's basically just one game. Yeah it's good but real people would have preferences and thus diversity in opinions.
Sure, but it seems like you're expecting a diversity of opinions from a single entity. They're going to pick the most popular game, that's how these things work.
