It's no big deal in the end because over time our bodies truly develop tolerance for everything.
It happened the first time i tried an HD game on the KURO (Motorstorm) and lasted for a couple of days, first time i played a "photorealistic" 60fps FPS on it (remember 60hz signals on a plasma are insane), first stereoscopic 3D game (Call of Duty: Black Ops), first VR game etc.
I think i should be good from now on.
A "reskinned Assassin's Creed" with proper badass combat, stunning art direction, good and emotional story, super responsive controls, no minimap guided exploration, amazing horse traversal, actually polished production all around..

It's hilarious how many people shit all over the "tired Ubisoft formula" and then turn around and wet themselves over GoT because they took the Ubisoft model and added pretty leaves to the mix. The game had overstayed its welcome by the end of Act 1, I dunno how anyone considers this game of the year. It also has shit combat, btw, and one of the worst cameras in all of gaming.
Nioh 2 had the best swordplay in 2020 and was GotY.

"Ghost of Tsushima really left an impression on me. It was a completely new game set in Japan during the Kamakura period, which I imagine was no easy endeavor for Sucker Punch to undertake, and they did a fantastic job with the stunning visuals and highly polished gameplay. Here at Team Ninja, where we have worked on a lot of sword fighting action, we were really impressed with the game overall, and strive to create a title with as much 'honor' as Ghost of Tsushima."

OMG, you found a quote of one developer complimenting another...yay!"Ghost of Tsushima really left an impression on me.

Did you also find the quote where is says GoT has better swordplay than Nioh?...no, you didn't because that quote doesn't exist.

Haven't played TLOU2 yet. But for me personally, it's pretty hard for it to be better than Ghost of Tsushima. It has become one of my favorite games ever.
I've recently started playing God of War (2018) and I'm about halfway through. I tried playing this game before but I couldn't get past the tiny font back then. I was also a lot busier back then.
Even though I'm loving God of War (definitely top 10 favorite games of all time) and think it's worth all its praise, I still think I like Ghost of Tsushima more.
I've never come across a game that's paced as well as GoT. Its combat is simplistic but crazily satisfying and when you get creative with it, you can pull off the craziest stuff. The music is superb, the characters are really likable, the story is engaging, the cutscenes are magnificent, and the world and its vibe are also otherworldly. Besides pacing, the world is definitely its strongest point.
God of War has all these things and so might TLOU2, but the way GoT does it just feels so different from other games. I'm a completionist and the only game that has never ever pressured me into thinking I'll eventually have to do a checklist is GoT.

Just a re-skinned AC?
.GoT has a better combat system than any of the AC games. You sound as retarded as the people who say it is the best game since the last 20 years

Nioh 2 Producer after picking Ghost of Tsushima as personal GotY: "Ghost of Tushima really left an impression on me"

But after labeling Ghost of Tsushima combat "shit", be thankful you received an answer in the first place.

Half-Life: Alyx was easily best game I played last year. It's such a unique experience that can't really be conveyed with a video or really in a review, you are just "there" IN the game. It's amazing and it's perfect for VR. Especially after having gone so long with nothing in the Half-Life chamber. Seeing everything to scale and the fidelity of the world is just unmatched, it feels like a real place and it's art direction/sound design is pretty much unmatched as far as cohesion for it's world/lore is concerned. Everything feels real/grounded and nothing seems out of place while none of it feels forced. Play Half-Life: Alyx if you can. Don't think about it, just do it.
That said, Ghost of Tsushima was a close second and I was very happy with it. It came out right before my daughter was born, so when we got back from the hospital I'd have her bassinet right there in the living room letting my wife recover from surgery in bed and I'd just play GoT between feeding my daughter every three hours or so. It was kind of a perfect game releasing at the perfect time for me. The music, visuals and art direction were incredible. I wasn't a big fan of how the story played out and felt the ending was kind of lacking and some of the characters were insufferable, though I think that may have to do with the whole point of the story and "honor" in general in regards to Japanese custom, but I fuckin' loved it. Great game and one I'll highly suggest to everyone who will listen.
Still need to play Hades, will do eventually, just haven't had the time yet as other things have my attention.
Motion sickness from VR is a whole different ballgame which has more to do with your inner ear and eyes not really being on the same page.

Motion sickness in regular gaming is usually attributed to shitty fov's in games and sitting to close too a tv/monitor. If a game has a really crappy FoV and it can't be adjusted, most people will feel the effect of motion sickness if they sit too close to the screen, it's typically remedied by sitting further back or adjusting the fov.

I have this feeling when playing First person shooters. That's why i hate FPS games. But ironically, when I played COD and deus ex games, i don't have this feeling. So those are some games that i can enjoy as FPS games.
This is one of the saddest most pathetic posts I've seen on this forum in a long time. Why are you seething so hard over the fact people like a video game? You say that it's "hilarious" but the way you constantly swear in your post just makes you look angry. You don't understand that different people like different things based on entirely subjective reasons? You should have learnt that by the time you were 13 years old. I agree that Nioh 2 had the best action RPG combat or "swordplay" in 2020 and was GotY for me but anyone who reads that post and isn't as arrogant or deluded as you is just going to see it and think to themselves that you just need to get the fuck over yourself mate. You definitely have better things to do than come into a thread about a game you dislike and shit on it, right? I believe you can make higher quality posts than that.

Yeah... your not wrong that it is an opinion. It's a pretty strange opinion to say that ghost of tsushima is the epitome of gaming in the past ten years with all its weaknesses, and bland story. I don't hate ghost of tsushima but think it's a solid 6-7/10 so it's hard for me to rectify that comment compared to Portal 2, God of War, breath of the wild, dishonored, Prey, red dead redemption 2; even spiderman, death stranding and horizon were much better and games I finished vs GOT. I'm glad you enjoyed it that much but that is definitely not a consensus opinion.

Evidently it isn't, but it doesn't make me wrong (for me). I mean i am slightly biased as i love the whole samurai thing and anything/everything to do with it, from movies to books to factual stories.

Half Life Alyx was GOTY 2020
It is depressing that it was glossed over so much because of the barrier of entry. That shouldn't ever undermine the achievement a game brings to the industry.
Nothing else last year even came close. It basically proved how worthless these awards truly are.

So you would pick a Toyota Prius over a Bugatti Veyron. Thanks, this only shows that your taste is pure garbage and you should not force your authority here and say Sony games are overrated with so terrible taste.

Those with the means to purchase a Bugatti, are not peasantry concerned with fuel efficiency I would wager.

ehh... i totally would?
Do you know how expensive it is to maintain that car? How much i'd spend with Fuel? I couldn't even drive it at fast speed due to the state of roads here. Also, it'd be basically an invitation to get my house mugged. "Look at that suckers cars, he must be loaded! Call the boys!!!"
If i ever got one for free, first thing i'd do is sell it for the money and put it in my bank account. Then buy a Prius or some other normal car with part of the funds.

Just sell the Bugatti and have a better life with that money and buy a better can than a fucking Prius
. I really feel like Toyota made their best with that can to look like they're punishing you for cheapening out. You could've used a better example but seems like you're not good at it.

yes... thats exactly what i said i'd do.Just sell the Bugatti and have a better life with that money and buy a better can than a fucking Prius
Tbh, if i had unlimited money power, instead of expensive cars i'd rather build a room filled with the best PCs and consoles money can buy + all sorts of gadgets like steering wheels and VR devices.
Best part of it is that i'd still spend most of my time playing Visual Novels with a notebook inside my room

Don't you always say that PC has the biggest userbase? In that case, why didn't Hades win with 150 million PC users + 80 million switch users?
Which is it? Quality > Userbase or Userbase > Quality?

305 GoTY awards for TLoU2.
Can anyone come up with a decent defense for that many GoTY awards? I don't care what game wins that many, how in the fuck is there that many? There seems to be no actual regulations or procedures in place, to qualify yourself to hand out that title. It seems that anyone can declare a game their GoTY, and it gets added to a list. Then the latest AAA title flexes it's muscles for winning 200-300 GoTY, that are mostly awarded from random no names.
In film, only one group is allowed to grant the title "Best Picture". One film is awarded that title every year. One. Gaming though? Game of the Year gets handed out like cheap candy. It doesn't hold any real weight.

Congratulation to Sony. They seem to be in firm control of releasing GOTY worthy games. Actually having spot #1 TLOU2 and #2 GoT is insane if you think about it.
To be fair the direct competition hasn't released many worthy contenders recently. Last one I can remember was Zelda BOTW.
And it isn't stopping anytime soon with Ratchet and Clank, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Sequel, GT7 and all the other exclusives that are going to follow and when Naughty Dog releases a game you know it will be one step ahead again.

Not true at all. GOTYs are not a console-exclusive thing. It is just PC does not get many AAA exclusive games. And there were many GOTY games that were multiplatform (including PC) that won those games very recently, e.g., Dragon Age Inquisition, The Witcher 3, Overwatch, etc.
But that's not what you were saying earlier.
You were saying that it is because of the bigger userbase. Hades had a bigger userbase (of 250+ million users), but TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima out-performed Hades with less than 50% userbase. That's because more people liked TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima more than Hades. It's really that simple.
And this is coming from someone who's 3 most favorite games last year were Ghost of Tsushima, Hades, and TLOU2.

Just to be clear, I'm liking this game thus far (very little into it). But... I wake up as a waifu, inexplicably without any clothing and inside a mech. And then I must go to fight the D-force.

I would agree Ghosts is a better for me, it had more soul and more passion put into it. I had a lot more fun with it. Plus i have sort of had it with "revenge is bad "you feel empty after getting revenge" style of plots. It is preachy and annoying. Jin gets revenge and go's for some Sake afterwards and lives the life of the Ghost.
PlayStation userbase vote rabidly over this thing called game of the year I'm saying this. I myself never voted any game from any publisher just to give you an example ...just because I don't see the sense since it's not a jury of experts who vote and it's all driven by userbase
PC's receive tons of AAA games probably you are new to PC gaming or i don't know what

You keep changing the topic, and it becomes hard to respond to. In your last 3 messages, you have changed your arguments 3 times as to why PS games receive more GOTY awards:
- "GOTY means nothing. Bigger userbase will always win." [ignoring that Hades had a reach of 250 million user base vs. 110 million user base for GOT and TLOU2]
- "GOTY is mostly a console thing." [and that's why PC games don't win GOTY awards, according to you]
- "PlayStation wins most GOTY because PS users vote more often." [not because their games are the best]

PCs do receive a ton of AAA games. Not arguing that point.
But are those games exclusives to PC and don't come to gaming consoles? I'm not aware of that. Can you please list a few recent AAA GOTY-level titles that only released on PC and didn't release on consoles? Because I'm not familiar with any such games.
Last edited:
is exactly the point the "goty-level-title" is an invention of console gamers and between console gamers there are factions decidedly less interested ... like Nintendo and their fans of which doesn't give a damn about this goty awards. ..anyway, there are lots ..from flight Sim to Disco Elysium from total war series to half life Alyx etc etc etc

I really don't get hades popularity. I didn't find it all that special tbf and regret spending my switch points on it. It doesn't help that I don't like rouge like games I guess either. Ghost of tsushima was loads better. Maybe I'll give it another go at some point.
