Everything about Channel Awesome came across has hardcore cringe. And as time has passed, I've only heard bad things about various members. I'm not surprised by this.

But if a game receives large marketing, and a large number of people enjoy it, is it overrated? If a large number of people enjoyed it, then I don't think so. And I suppose it's possible for something like Star Wars Battlefront 2 to do well, despite being largely criticized, but it's still a...

I sincerely wasn't calling you out. I've seen "overrated" threads pop up with some regularity, not just here, but on many sites. Nearly anything that has any level of real success gets described as "overrated" eventually. I just don't think that's a fair criticism to level at something, and...

Nothing is Overated Sharks are Overrated though Jaws are alright

There is no objective measurement of quality. It's all subjective. Something cannot be overrated or underrated. It just IS. It has exactly as much success as it deserves. And since success isn't a measurement of quality anyway, the point is moot. Discuss.

There are no overrated games, classic or otherwise.

I don't want to grow up I'm a toys R us kid

My first point still stands though, and here?s why it matters [https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/02/21/the-exclusive-gap-between-ps4-and-xbox-one-has-become-a-canyon/amp/] in a nutshell. The key is it depends on the company. Not saying Sony it perfect by any...

That would eliminate many of the best-made games. Anyways what I don?t like is that, besides these types of awards shows being generic popularity contests, the categories are almost like what you?d find for movies. There should be more game-centric categories that reward feats of excellence...

I don't think EA execs *really* believe that. Rather, it's harder to monetize a single player game that has a life of 20-60 hours, especially when it comes to microtransactions and loot boxes, then it is a multiplayer game. You play a single player game, and then you're done. You may pick it...

I'm honestly just sick of Besthesda games. I'll still give Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 a look every once in a while, but they honestly don't age well at all. And the newer ones just don't have the same spark. Fallout 4 took too many steps in the wrong direction.

I wouldn't know Knack 2 is certainly the dark horse this year. But sonic has been building up this moment for a long time. It's like the infinity wars of sonic, probably!

Ignoring the elephant in the room a moment.... I would like to remind everyone that this is the director behind Machete, Spy Kids, and Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this years poll. The votes were counted. They were deliberated by a secret panel of judges. Argued over. Fought over. And the results were clear. The official Escapist Game of the Year is:

It was okay, but it came pretty late to the game. Undertales done the the whole "mess with the game code" thing before, and Madoka's done the whole "cute show that's actually fucked up" thing before. It was nice for what it was, but the characters felt underdeveloped, and the narrative as whole...
