So it would make more sense to me, if you're going to go with Fortnite instead of PUBG, that you'd also take League over DOTA, and probably something else for Spelunky and Broken Age. I'm not really even sure why those are on there. Representing indie games, XBLA, 2D? As I said, I'd put League up there just for its continued dominance and its ever present place on the Twitch rankings and esport viewership. DOTA has an increasingly larger, (largest) prizepool tournament. DOTA popularized two genres, not just MOBAs but also Auto Battlers. Basically DOTA is goat and yall don't know what you talking about.

TheLeon Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I remember Spelunky being the "it" game for a lot of industry people when it came out on XBLA. That might be a false memory, because quickly scanning through some Giant Bomb 2012 GOTY guest lists (the most official source I can imagine), I see Spelunky mentioned often enough, but it's far from universal.

I wouldn't put BotW on the list either, but I that might just be me expressing my dislike of the game. Spelunky is one of the best designed games ever. Even with the kickstarter business, I'm not sure Broken Age belongs either, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I think it’s fine to put the more popular game over the one that “did it first” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Quote - Spelunky ... eh fine - Telltale The Walking Dead? - lol no. I feel like that type of game has been way more miss than hit. It’s been pretty awful besides LiS - Broken Age ... pass - GTA V ... okay. It’s multi makes a shit ton of money - Breath of the Wild ... agree - Amnesia ... I probably wouldn’t put it on my list but ok - Dark Souls .... definitely. One of the few Defining series of the decade - Destiny? ... I don’t like destiny but I guess - Minecraft ... easily - Gone Home .... lol no - Fortnite .... yes. Much more popular than PUBG with adults and KIDS - Dota 2 .... I don’t give a fuck about this game I would probably pick LoL over it I would definitely have Overwatch on this list and a single player game like last of us or Witcher 3. Maybe both of them.
