This isn't me taking a shot at big franchises like zelda or mario, but the witcher series doesn't have the brand and name recognition as those franchises. CDPR came out of nowhere in the mid 2000's. They made a niche game in the first witcher game, an improved more cinematic nearly AAA game in the 2nd, then obviously the juggernaut AAA multiplatform 150+ hour witcher 3 masterpiece, with its damn expansions alone being better than most games released these days.

And just so we're clear: 2013 had about 100 more GOTY awards given out than 2015. And speaking of 2015, its not like this was a weaker year like 2014 or 2016. Bloodbourne released, metal gear solid 5 (kojima's final curtain call), rocket league, mario maker, fallout 4, SW battlefront, batman arkham knight, life is strange, until dawn, halo 5, rise of tomb raider, and dying light. It had some stiff competition and still dominated the awards, including winning GOTY for the game awards hosted by Geoff Keighley, the basis on which games are judged nowadays.

I'm hoping horizon zero dawn, mario odyssey, persona 5, nier automata, and destiny 2 can hold back BOTW from winning more awards than the witcher 3 and stealing away its "most awarded game of all-time" title away, but I think it'll be close.

Who cares? Great games win a lot of awards. Whether they win 80 or 100 or over 9000 GOTY awards becomes sort of redundant after awhile.

Witcher 3 is extremely overrated.

Poor combat = Boring game.

I bet TC gets his news from CNN. What a loser :D

Doesn't change the fact that it's still a s*** game to me. All the awards in the world won't change that.

The music is eh, the battle system is extremely bad, the main story is truly meh, the side stories aren't any better, characters are not that interesting at all to me.

Good for you and the million others who love to suck it off every day, but I played better games. I played more fun games. I played more original games.

Have fun b****ing about how its not credited more.

It's dlc alone is better than the entirety of most games, it even destroyed darksouls 3 and every other rpg of 2016. A frikking dlc winning rpg of the year award

Witcher 3 is greatness in form of gaming

You getting your news from fox and friends is even worse so why don't you stay quiet and try to not bring politics into this you troll.

Best game ever made. I feel pity for people who have not played it and claim it ain't good. Get a life.

You guys must love each other when it comes to this. lol

Anyways, it gets plenty of credit. Personally I just couldn't get through it, I tried and I did enjoy the story bits I saw but just something about it didn't hook me. I am having the exact same issue with Horizon, I can recognize its a good game but again something about it just doesn't hold my attention and I have no desire to keep trudging through it.
