How is it possible that Overwatch won GotY and not DOOM?

How is it possible that Overwatch won GotY and not DOOM?

Rigged.

Did it? Who awarded it GOTY?

SJW's.

An aggressive marketing campaign and Blizzard cashing in their goodwill.

Overwatch is more fun than DOOM. Sometimes it's vice-versa though.

Because 2016 was a shit year for games and neither would be a contender if there was actual competition.

Doom is a game my dad played. How many dads are out there voting for old ass games/sequels of said games

Lets imagine you come from an old school high-execution FPS background, playing the likes of Quake, CS, Tribes, even Teamfortress. In classic FPS games the most important actions you can perform are also the actions which are the most difficult to execute. Landing headshots in CS, hitting a 300kph route through a flag in Tribes or hitting a guy on a 300kph route out of the air with a disc. These actions have the most impact, the challenge is primarily in performing the action, and the payoff is immediate.

Now you pick up Overwatch. In Overwatch the most impactful actions in the game are also the easiest to perform in the moment. Throwing a Zarya blackhole or a Mercy rez, breaking the other team's shield with Junkrat grenades, walking at Bastion with a Dva matrix up. Everything that has a really big impact, requires almost no execution. This is by design of course, the game is not supposed to heavily reward execution, because it's trying to be inclusive to people who don't have 20 years of PC FPS experience.

>ywn watch a doom fan plow an overwatch fan's boipussy
y lyf

No shit, the game with the waifus and the endless fandom won?! What a surprise!

Singleplayer games are much less impactful than online teambased tf2 clones.

>curlbros

not even once.

doom is fucking HORRIBLE, it has BUILT IN MOUSE ACCELERATION that you need a fucking altered start command to mitigate, then the game just fucking crashes at the top of the argent tower..... holy FUCK i hate that game...

overwatch is also shit. game of the year should have been fucking rabi ribi, because it was 1000000x better

Does anybody here actually dig the DOOM multiplayer? It's weaker than the campaign for sure but I think it's pretty damn good.

ironic

blizz pay good money for ads, doom is better fps unless you are a faggot

Nope, it sucks. The editor was a neat little idea, which would need way more polishing to really take off.

Why the FUCK, would anyone think a weebs opinion matters?

because weebs play quake 3 and think that mouse acceleration is literally cancer, which it fucking is. what was id thinking

...

Even if you hate Overwatch with endless passion Overwatch, you have to recognize, that it is the game with the biggest impact on the community 2016.

This guy knows what's up

People are ultra-casuals who are easily impressed by a simple game with an attractive artstyle

Anyone who says SJWs is fucking retarded given that Overwatch was loved well before the Tracer is gay shit

Truer words have never been spoken.

The SJWs infested Overwatch way before the big reveal

Maybe the sjw community. You get banned for saying shit like ggez or fuck niggers. Also they support fags.

>People are ultra-casuals who are easily impressed by a simple game with an attractive artstyle

Literally could say the exact same shit about Doom desu

The editor would be nice if it didn't run into maximum detail limit about 10% into creating the basic level structure before you've even added monsters, items or mechanics. It's like the Spore customization tools. It would be nice to use them but you aren't allowed to.

I haven't played any of these yet, but these all looked like contenders to me:

Uncharted 4, Hitman, Mafia III, Quantum Break, Titanfall 2, Watch Dogs 2, Deus Ex MD

Overwatch was the first attempt by blizzard (successful attempt Ghost never came out) at making a multiplayer only moba fps and its a titanic success whether or not you think its good so I can understand

Doom on the other hand is a game no one thought they'd actually enjoy from a company many in the industry viewed as being over the hill and on the way out

>doom is more fun though and I like overwatch

You'd think with the way everyone's fapping to Overwatch waifus that the arms would be the other way around

sarcasm?

Overwatch and Doom cost $60

Overwatch only has multiplayer
Doom has singleplayer, multiplayer and level editor

Seems to me like Doom has more to offer

>moba
what the fuck does a doom clone have to do with a dota clone?

Blizzard paid more money.

Fuck your hivemind.

Overwatch is $40
Doom's multiplayer is adequate at best.
That being said doom is still a better deal.

Not really, I don't think DOOM has ultimates that just charge up over time that are autokill buttons to make you feel like you're good at video games

The design philosophies of the two games are very different

Doom is average at best

>I don't think Doom has autokills
It does though

You still need to essentially kill the enemy (the bar for going into the staggered state is them having a very low percentage left) to perform the glory kills. I wouldn't call that an autokill, though it does exist in DOOM as the BFG

It has Demon Runes which give you a few minutes of instakill power against everyone.

>you have to recognize, that it is the game with the biggest impact on the community 2016.
So? I don't give a shit about that, I barely ever come here let alone interact with the "gaming community" at large

>Nope, it sucks.
Nice input, thanks.

Those are much less common than ultimates

Overwatch has more depth and more replayability.

I say this as someone who liked doom and despises shooters like overwatch.

>DOOM fans are disgusting curlbros who never even heard of training triceps

how is this an insult to OW players?

D44M would have won if it had mod support

>Maybe the sjw community.
and the porn community.

Lets be real here, it being loaded with cute girls and managing to pass that off in a mainstream manner is what lead to Overwatch's success. Gameplay and so on is all secondary to that.

Overshit is a pandering TF2 rip off with tits. It didn't deserve GOTY, but the amount of imbeciles consuming such trash and Blizzards bribe money tilted the scales in its favor. I hate Overwatch with every atom of my body.

this. i wish doom 4 had the modding support that overwatch has

>Uncharted
Same movie game we've been getting for years
>Mafia
Bugged beyond belief
>Watch Dogs
Same ubisoft style open world game we've been getting for years

How can anyone enjoy a singleplayer game that never significantly expands on its mechanics? Do you really enjoy doing the same thing against AIs over and over in different locations? I know for sure the story isn't why you do it because it's worse than half the movies hollywood puts out

Overwatch doesnt have mod support either

Opinion: invalidated

>DOOM fans are stupid meatheads
>Overwatch fans are cute tomboys
I know why Overwatch won.

Mass appeal to casuals and women = Overwatch.

Doom 2016 has the best SP FPS of 2016
Overwatch has the best MP FPS of 2016

But the Overwatch fan is sure to win because of his speed?

here we go again!

Because it's more popular. It never matters if one game is objectively better than the other, only how popular it is.
