I sometimes feel the need to check in on the retard pit. This is cuck/v/'s preliminary GOTY 2017...

Japan is better at making big budget stuff, the west is still better at indies

Hey now, western vidya provides countless hours of entertainment in the form of salt when AAA trainwrecks crash and burn.

It's sad that the only think western game dev has to offer is niche autism simulators and low budget 2d indie games made 3 dudes and their cat.

Other than that I can't say my choices are that much different.

Sonic Mania
Persona 5
Nier Automata
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2
Yakuza 0

Now keep in mind two of these games were released prior to 2017, so I don't think it's fair to include them. Especially on a board like this that actually has weebs playing games in nihongo. Ultimately I think Xenoblade 2 will be my personal GOTY, especially if they don't fuck it up. Odyssey will be high up there as well, but the lack of Game Overs are worrying. EDF5 will probably be GOTY in Moonland tho.

But Sonic Mania IS 2017 goty.

Well what game should take its place?

Nier Automata? Nioh? Gravity Rush 2?

Nier Automata
Nioh
Persona 5
Dragon Quest Builders (October of 2016)
Crash Bandicoot :^)

out of ideas aren't you user?

It would have been on the 2016 GOTY list but October is so late in the year that people neglect it. Its defiantly one of my top games sense last august.
its not a bad Port/remake imho
Yes, it's vidya in CY+++ user. What do you except?

I would say either Nier: Automata, NiOh, Yakuza 0, Crash Bandicoot, or Persona 5.
