It swept the fucking awards. Well deserved. Haters are shitting themselves. Creaming their pants.





Sony always wins

 

[SlimySnake]

well deserved.

 

[NomadicAsiatic]

I would say yes. I want Ghosts to win, but I still really enjoyed TLoU 2. My top 5 would look like this:

Ghosts Of Tsushima
Streets Of Rage
The Last Of Us Part 2
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Doom Eternal

 

[GonSama]

I would say yes. I want Ghosts to win, but I still really enjoyed TLoU 2.

I feel the same.

[Deleted member 1159]

Only because that list didn’t have Alyx on it

 

[Airbus Jr]

Ghost of Tushima got robbed

“We endured and came out on top” lmao

 

[laynelane]

I didn't expect anything different. The game is a critical darling.

 

[Yoboman]

Phenomenal game. Druckmann always delivers

 

[teezzy]

I didn't play it.

*votes no*

 

[Aenima]

Yes it deserved all the awards it got, lots of talent in Naughty Dog and the production values of TLOU2 are crazy. But my GOTY was Ghost of Tsushima. Happy that Sucker Punch got some awards as well.

 

[odhiex]

Fantastic game, probably my top 3 of this (last) gen.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

An eye for eye.

 

[Blond]

I would say yes. I want Ghosts to win, but I still really enjoyed TLoU 2. My top 5 would look like this:

Ghosts Of Tsushima
Streets Of Rage
The Last Of Us Part 2
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Doom Eternal

Streets of Rage turning out as awesome as it did makes me annoyed that I never bought it when it was available on limited run

 

[LectureMaster]

I've said it but I can say it again.

Me personally enjoyed the gameplay, heck I enjoyed even Abigail's storyline as standalone.

I just fucking hate all virtual signalling agenda in this game and Druckmann' ignorance and narcissism.

He could have just faced the criticism and stated his vision with a more sincere attitude.

I think the game is a good one, but Druckmann does not deserve the award.

If you still want a physical copy, Amazon still has them in stock. Arguably with a better cover too

 

[Sub_Level]

Haters can get fucked. Tlou2 was an mgs2 level event in videogame storytelling. Its not a perfect game by any means and has serious pacing issues. But it actually tries to do something narratively creative to make the player give a damn.

To say nothing of the fact that, you know, its the best looking console game on 7 year old hardware.

 

[Thief1987]

From nominees maybe, but we all know that persona 5 is best game of the year and last console generation.

 

[anab0lic36]

And this right here is why ill never take this award show seriously.

 

[BaneIsPain]

It’s either TLOU2 or GoT. No complain here

 

[Portugeezer]

It has good gameplay.

Too bad the blatant SJW stuff caused controversy (and story stuff which won't go into for spoilers).

Hope they can carry that gameplay feeling into the Multiplayer.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Well deserved, obviously.

 

[Sub_Level]

Only because that list didn’t have Alyx on it

I am sure Alyx would have done extremely well if more than a few hundred people could play it.

VR just didnt happen. I wanted it to. But it didnt.

 

[Represent.]

Good to see good taste prevail, and excellence rewarded.

 

[Revolutionary]

Fourth Option: It's a Video Game Award Show, what well-adjusted adult actually gives a shit? Enjoy your games and be done with it; this childish "my favorite game is better than yours" is such embarrasing schoolyard bullshit.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

I'd pretend this is crow served to haters if I wanted it on record I thought TGAs mean anything... and I don't.

 

[GooseMan69]

It was mostly made by SJWs with clown world political views, and some of that (not a lot) bled into the game. It’s also the best game of 2020 by a wide margin, and probably the best game of the generation. Credit where credit’s due.

It’s objectively and technically an amazing accomplishment.

 

[NahaNago]

The game is still quality it is just the story that brings it down massively from what I understand so it winning game of the year isn't that surprising.

 

[cyber_ninja]

Eat shit haters. You might dislike it for personal reasons but you cannot deny that this game is quality.

 

[JonkyDonk]

Huuuuge surprise!!!!

After everything surrounding this game there was literally 0% chance that the media wouldn't all unanimously vote for this game and laura bailey to win.

 

[VolticArchangel]

 

[finowns]

I’m shocked

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Not in my top 3 for GOTY (that's 13 Sentinels, Spiritfarer, and Hades), but I guess it deserves it.

Glaring narrative issues aside, it was a fantastic game to play. Very, very fun experience!

 

[HE1NZ]

This show is so cringe. Why is there the same 5 games nominated in every category?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

NOOOOOOOOO BUT THEY KILLED MY BOY.

 

[Dorohedoro]

 

[kyliethicc]

Congrats Naughty Dog.

 

[ethomaz]

If one game game deserves the award this year was TLOU2. Amazing game that improves the original in all sides.

Congrats.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Only because that list didn’t have Alyx on it

Yep Alyx was robbed; VR not mainstream enough to be counted I guess...bloody great romp though.

 

[DForce]

Can't wait to hear the salt from the haters on Youtube. Lol

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Congrats!

 

[Barry Burton]

Very much deserved. Animal Crossing was my surprise feelgood hit of the year, but TLOU2 is just on a whole other level.

Barring a late charge from Cyberpunk, it'll be my GOTY as well.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

good for them

ive never been interested in this game and never will

 

[Enzo88]

I enjoyed hades and ff7 remake significantly more.

But It's a good game, so can't be too upset about it.

What would you highlight as narratively creative in the game?

 

[SuperBabyMethod]

It’s a fantastic game with an okayish story. I would have gone with FFRemake but that’s bc I love FF7. Crash 4 was also a strong contender.
