Congrats to Naughty Dog!

Thoughts, SW? TLOU 2 wasn't my GOTY, but hey, whatever lol. Looks like we have a very diverse field in the GOTY category. May need to have an aggregator here lol.

Sony? Check.

Graphics king? Check

Lesbos? Check

Explosions? Check.

Sony winning per usual.

My only point of clear, unambiguous dispute against that list is Assassin's Creed Valhalla, because it's an Assassin's Creed game, and therefore generally solid but bland. The rest deserve it.

Even The Last of Us 2. Yeah, I have zero interest in it. Yeah, I keep saying it smells of "the David Cage." Can't deny it's a very well-made game and has bloody good production values.

Ya, the one thing I'm seeing from GotY picks is variation.

If ghost or last of us 2 won, I was going to agree.

Pity pic.

Deserved, great game. Good to see several games being awarded this year.

It's the best game that I have played this year, for sure. Outside of a random section where the game opened up somewhat and lost its pacing as a result, I thought it was solid from start to finish.

I'm curious to see how it all pans out. Seems like a mixed bag, but maybe not.

It's the politically correct answer lets be real. I have the game and the story is trash gameplay and graphics are really good but the story is a train wreck pushing SJW garbage to a sickening degree and this is coming from someone that is the furthest thing from being right wing.

Congratulations! Personally enjoyed it very much.

Lesbian sex is in that game, guys.

I can see why it's a GOTY. The game really is awesome. Congrats Naughty Gods.

Since they copied the looks of Ellen page, now that she has changed sexes, are they going to change Ellie to ellliot for the third one ? I think that would be interesting. And would create some funny controversy.

@SolidGame_basic: Can you ever not suck up to Sony, its disgusting, get a room already

@nirgal: Ellen didn't have a sex change though, she just wants to be called a guy.

Shitty movie game won GOTY. nothing to see here folks.

Well, it's GameInformer.

They aren't going to vote for a great game, they'll just pick a popular one.

It's its gameplay though that makes it win prizes.

Black Mesa has 0 cutscenes, won 0 awards.

+1

Why do people like living in denial? Just accept that it's a good game and move on. Jesus.

Ew?

ARE YOU INSANE? TLOU2 is the definition polarizing. This game will be remembered as such for the next ten plus years. Guaranteed.

Me too. I thought it was unforgettable. I still enjoy replaying the encounters from time to time.
