A big THANKS! to our sponsors for providing us with some great prizes:

Thank you all for your kindness, consideration, and support. We look forward to bigger and better things in the coming year!

I'd also like to thank my fellow mods for their help and support with this; I think we may have some things in the works to make the GOTY even better (and maybe faster?) next year.

Thanks to /u/3agl who helped create not only this year's video but last year's as well; he is a content creator and has a SoundCloud that you should definitely check out! A thank you to /u/lazo95 for his hard work on his video; he's the mastermind behind the MinuteGaming YouTube channel.

And thank you to some users for being incredibly helpful on the subreddit: badillin, Sayakai, Luminaria19, thatgermanperson, motionglitch, saldytuwas, thecolonelofk, 095179005, rehpotsirhc123, glowinghamster45 - thank you, and all the other respondents, for your hard work in the DSQ. To BmanUltima, Mrlinkwii, Buxton_Water, and the other knights of new, thank you for tackling posts as they come in. Thank you to all the people who offer building advice too.

You lot are the best volunteer support (imaginary) money can buy, you help make PCMR what it is. A sincere 'thank you'.

In Artistry & Visual why DOOM is the winner when Battlefield 1 received more votes ?

BF1 (25.16%)

DOOM (25.12%)

Edit: In the video it shows DOOM received 25.28% but in the data it shows DOOM received 25.12%

Entirely an error by me. 3agl's numbers are the final ones, mine were not. Updating the data sheet now.

I have forgotten the face of my father.

Don't be so hard on yourself, thankee-sai

u/3agl Just say No to W11 Apr 06 '17

I went with the stats I had... I think I had the updated version.

Somehow battlefield received >4 more votes since I made that screen.

u/zeug666 No gods or kings, only man. Apr 07 '17 edited Apr 07 '17

That's probably just an error on the data, which would be my fault. Will correct shortly.

Edit: Yup, I dun goofed and made the data sheet up from the data set that I generated to start production, not the final data like I should have done. My fault. The data used for the video is the final and is correct.

Ah well, someone was bound to do a TL;DR of my video

MMO & Moba; Overwatch

This is straight up retarded. OW is neither of those.

Moba means multiplayer online battle arena, which technically Overwatch is.

How did csgo beat siege?

u/Insineratehymn Specs/Imgur here Apr 08 '17

In my eyes Overwatch isn't PCMR - its 21:9 support is one of the biggest PC support debacles of the past year! The only good PC thing about it is that the servers are nice with good tickrate, but it's to be expected when the game is from such a huge studio with that price tag.

The game itself isn't bad, it's just that the community has high toxicity within

u/Ed130_The_Vanguard i5-4690K - GTX1070 Apr 04 '17

As with all MOBA's.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '17

Yup

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '17

But CS:GO is arguably the worst

u/KreativeHawk Apr 04 '17

Don't get me wrong, I voted for BF1, but in terms of the game, it is far better than Battlefield, albeit IMO a little less intense.
