Poll IGN just gave GOTY to Hades who do you agree with more that or GS with HL Alyx? (55 votes)

IGN - Hades 58%
Gamespot - Half-Life Alyx VR 36%

I prefer traditional Half-Life 1 and 2.

Those were huge massive games. Kinda like Cyberpunk 2077 thats my GOTY and thats the big hitter of the year for me its my half-life 1-2 for 2020.

But whatever I mean half-life alyx does not compare to when half life 1 and 2 came out and were massive games for their times alyx doesnt do anything new and doesn't even look like a 2020 game like cyberpunk does.

I'd rather see hades win then one my fav franchises cashing in on a gimmick like VR.

I'm going with IGN and hades here. GS you guys missed the mark entirely.

Hades is a great game, and I would choose that over Alyx because I can't even play Alyx. It would cost me a fortune just to play that game the way it's intended. But Hades isn't GOTY in my opinion. It's fun, but after a while, you realize it's a Roguelike. and It's a damn good one. But no way I would take that over FF7 Remake.

I think the problem is that no one played Alyx so its hard to make the comparison.

Hades is my personal GOTY at this point, but Cyberpunk might overtake it once i'm finished despite the issues.

Yeah dude the scale cyberpunk 2077 is like how a traditional half-life would be in 2020.

It would be a huge open world tons of stuff going on Valve is a shell of its former self there game is nothing even close to cyberpunk 2077 anymore its just not even in the same space anymore.

People's Choice sounds legit...like a legit grounds for trolling, and TLoU2 has had plenty of trolling this year.

But anyways, Hades is a great game. I'm usually quick to rail on IGN, but it's nice to see that they actually considered GOTY than just giving it to the expected choice that's been pushed so hard.

Alyx is probably the better game but nobody has played it, nor will anybody play it.

So hades wins by default.

I don't know what triggered you guys that much but whatever...

I like a lot of Japanese stuff--food, movies, history, even anime itself-- and have travelled there a few times,but for some damn reason I just don't like Japanese games.

*shrug*

I don't know why, I just haven't found one I enjoyed in years. Basically since the SNES days.

So if you hint that a game has an anime/Japanese-game design style, it might change my opinion haha.

Yes, it's irrational and at this point simply typing the above out has sort of convinced me I'm wrong, but...there it is.

*is that official art? Looks like fan art. I was thinking more along the lines of this. It doesn't look inherently like anime. More like...mature Disney.

Hades is amazing. HL Alyx is amazing, but so few people get to play it. I'll still give it to hades. I have more hours in hades then HL Alyx because it's easier to pick up and play.

They both deserve it. Supergiant Games maximise gaming as a story-telling medium, Half-Life: Alyx maximise VR as an immersive gaming platform. Alyx may not have won GOTY, but it did win PC Exclusive of the Year, VR Game of the Year and Shooter of the Year. Both games well deserve their recognition.

As I said many times, there has never been anything "traditional" about Half-Life games. Valve openly acknowledged this themselves; that Half-Life games are first and foremost technological showcases - "artistic solutions to technological problems," as they put it. You want a new Half-Life game? It's actually very easy; just send Gaben an article or a brochure of a cutting-edge gaming tech he might want to showcase.

Just don't call it "Half-Life 3." Valve and that number, they don't get along.

Ah I see. I kinda get your perspective and taste on how you see art style. What I posted is also from the official trailer, so I guess it's what dev. think represents the art of the game. [0:38]

Loading Video...

I'm not an anime expert, so I don't know the difference in art style between mature Disney and anime, but I agree that the intense bearded man you posted may be too cartoonish to appear in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Hmm.

Yeah, Hades is a good option. I'd give it to DOOM: Eternal, personally.

HL:A shot itself in the foot regarding GotY awards. A game very few people can even play shouldn't get a "Game of the Year" award.

I am not into rogue like games, but since everyone keeps talking about Hades, i will give Greg Kasavin $20 and buy the game.

I've been playing Hades for a while now... Years ago It was called Rogue Legacy, then it was called dead cells... Now it is called Hades.

That style of game has been my bread and butter for years.... Because of that, Hades didn't have the wow factor some others may have got from it, but I was just happy it stood up with the aforementioned games. Like dead cells and rogue legacy... They're all goty worthy.

Not into vr though. Can't see myself buying a headset to play games. Maybe if price ever comes down I would, but not at premium pricing.

Since The Last of US 2 will be GOTD, I think its fair Hades gets the GOTY if we exclude it.

I would personally pick GoT over it, but Hades seems like a solid choice.

Dismissing Half Life Alyx because "only few people" IE, you can't play it, seems really dumb if the game is as legit as its been gassed up to be. Fomo ass goons.

Now dismissing Half Life Alyx because the gameplay itself is lame as is the wave with VR games, that's woke. I mean Cup gassed that game up, Cup. He likes bum games all the time.

Hades is probably more my jam (still probably not actually my jam), but Gamespots reasoning for Alyx is more interesting/more sound. The experience seems wholly unique from anything else they were gassing up as contenders.

Uhh, why does every game have to be open world? Besides, Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't support VR, so it pails in comparision to the immersion and scale of Half Life Alyx.

The floats festival in Cyberpunk is supposed to be the most stunning part of the game, and yet I basically felt nothing, because graphics on a flatscreen just don't influence me these days. Alyx on the other hand gave me chills many times.

Haven't played either Hades or HL:Alyx; I reserve judgment.

Personal pick among new releases is FFVII: Remake, despite certain shortcomings.
