Off the top of my head the games i think should be included (without looking at what genre they fall into)
Deus Ex
Battlefield 1
PES
Doom
Some of the biggest sellers dont cut it for me like the division (huge let down that game) & Mafia 3, No Mans Sky instantly come to mind. I was also greatly let down by Assetto Corsa for its major lack of content and also difficulty to race online.
also a few that I havent played that I would have liked to: Uncharted, Dishonored 2, Dark Souls 3, Xcom 2 & Farcry Primal.

I think this is the problem with the gaming industry.
BF1 is just a reskin of every other BF game EA has released the last 5 years yet you vote it one of the best games of the year?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disagree Slinky, BF1 could be accused of being a reskin of Battlfront possibly with Battlefront being run as a kinda Beta for it. They completely changed the type of warfare in BF1 to be a more "range" specific shooter where having the right gun in the right situation made a massive difference.
In previous BF's its been a case of choose the best Assualt rifle and take on anyone at any range, not the case in BF1.
It certainly has its flaws of which I could spend another full thread on to be fair but being a reskin is certainly not one of them.. I would say its been the best FPS this year no question

Whatever category Uncharted 4 goes into, I'd vote for that. Not enjoyed a game as much as that in years
haven't played much this year - but genuinely enjoying Mafia 3
So you have not played any of the games that I have nominated above that I have played?
I dont really think you much of a point then in being critical if you have no experience of it?
This is a nomination thread for game of the year feel free to create any other thread if you want to bring up different agendas but please keep this on topic for GOTY nominations, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I am certainly no expert or have any specific credentials to say that my opinion is more or less valid than yours, but as i said stick to nominating games cheers

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree with this - BF1 was just old fashioned BF4 to me and I have played every single BF game to date.
Doom - Nightmare mode Campaign was fantastic
Uncharted 4
Dishonoured 2
Think Indie is well worth it my friend some crackers in there; firewatch, inside, the witness and stardew to name the ones I've played.
So to try and help you out:
RPG: Tyranny, Grim Dawn,
1st person shooter: Doom, BF1, CoD, Titanfall, Superhot, overwatch
Simulation: Forza......
Sports game:PES, FIFA, Madden, 2k17
Action: UC4, GoW4, Tomb Raider?, Ratchet,
Random: Civ VI, X Com2, Darkest Dungeon, Overcooked, Dark Souls 3
Anyways mine would be:
Turnbased - Civ 6
Sports - PES 2017
FPS - BF1
Indie - Stardew Valley
Action - UC4
GoTY - DS3

However using the same logic UC4 is just reskinned UC1-3, and Dishonoured 2 is just old fashioned Dishonoured 1......
Not too sure why this is held against BF as what exactly are you expecting? It delivers exactly what it tells you and does it extremely well.
UC4 just adds bumming sliding, but I don't want something completely different I want an action game. Same with DS, does nothing new except refine the formula, and that's all I want

Superhot could be included in the indie section, played a little bit of it (not a PC gamer) was really cool and very much in the 1 more level category. Pity that Grim Dawn was PC only woulda liked that on console, havent played it but sounds right up my street...would also have liked Divinity to have made it on console (think there was talk of porting to console?)
Dude it's on PS4, is currently on sale in the US shop, might be an xmas sale item.
