psssst, every game wins a GOTY award from some publication. That's not what I meant. there are liek 100 gaming publications that give out GOTY awards, when we're talking about THE goty we're talking about the televised one. Just liek we don't count mtv movie awards as the movie of the year.

The video game awards started in 2014. Its predecessor was the Spike TV video game awards hosted by Geoff Keighley till it ended and rebranded in 2013. In 2014 the Video Game Awards debuted, hosted by.......Geoff Keighley.

burnout 3 was nominated for game of the year by Spikes Awards(you know, the televised awards show)

Yea I barely used stealth. Easily the worst thing about it. The combat was so great though that not using stealth didn't bother me.
The game low key actively discourages you from using stealth by constantly calling it dishonorable and having Jin feel guilty about it as he unlocks and uses new stealth technique. i basically played the samurai path (sword and bow only, actively challenging opponents) until the third act after which i feel like he had crossed a point of no return honorwise.

I said it during its release and I’ll say it again now, TLOU2 winning GOTY would be hilarious, not because it shouldn’t win, I personally think it should...but that outrage is gonna be crazy, y’all thought the “these reviews were paid for” crowd looked dumb as fukk then, wait till they start accusing the awards of being rigged and bought by fukking Neil Druckman lol

I love Hades, but it ain't GOTY. shyt it technically came out last year ( I dunno how the early access justification works out in these situations)

I'm one of the few people who loved TLOU2, I saw it's faults but really like where they were going with what they were doing and while Ghosts doesn't evolve the open world shyt, it def kept me going enough to platinuim that hoe.

FF7R was so good it justified itself being less content than disk one with everything it brought to the table.

I give it to the game that launched a multiplayer mode though cause yeah that just makes that whole package complete to me.

The Last of Us has this in the bag. Even with all of the controversy surrounding it, the quality of the game is outstanding.
