[HELLCAT]

I mean how in the hell did a game who had an 80% drop rate in sales after the first week win GOTY


Ghost of Tsushima was the actual winner, Change my mind!

This year was directed by Neil Druckman!

Game Awards is just one big Circle Jerk of so called "Game journalists" thinking they can "judge a game" Seriously who the hell were the Penile Stains of Humanity that were judging these awards?

[Your Cat From 1000m Away]

The only interesting thing in the whole show was Back 4 Blood, and that game coming to Steam, the rest of the show was "Meh".

[𝕎𝔸𝕃𝕋𝔼ℝ]

Why do people care about any award show? They're mostly rigged.

[Holografix]

"It's rigged" if you don't like the winner
"It works" if you like the winner

meh.

[Polverrati]

The fact that a game that tore its community in half won so many awards proved what we all already knew, the game awards are worthless.

That and The Evil Dead, getting to blast deadites with Ash's trusty boom stick is gonna be fun.

Actually, it proves that there's no such thing as a "community" for a video game.

You know "the game awards" are just made up, it doesn't mean you have to go out and play all those games now. It's not a reason to get mad either.
It doesnt matter 1 bit that the games you like didnt win and the game you dont like won.

[Castyles]

TLOU 2 doesn't deserve GOTY only for the garbage that is the story, indeed.

Also: Best acting for Abby lmao. ♥♥♥♥ is so rigged it's not even funny.

Political correctness, just die already.

i know some rehab facilities for copium addicts if you need help

[Sixtyfivekills]

Even if story was good, gameplay is absolutely horrible.

Walking and talking, waiting for NPCs to finish their scripted portions, nothing happening as you run around, who finds this fun? Who enjoys stopping in order for NPC to finish their thing?

I remember playing some Asterix game where Asterix had to do one portion while Obelix does the other. And unlike TLOU, you actually control both characters when necessary, because they figured out in 2003 that you want to play the game, not watch it.

because most people bought it during first week?

"In its release weekend, The Last of Us Part II sold over four million copies worldwide, becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive."

The two week window after release day is the sales peak for any game. That's where a game is most likely to do the bulk of their sales.

Also considering we're talking of a single player game and not a multiplayer one it's less strange sales to dip sharply after that 'honeymoon phase'. Multiplayer games generate longer engagement levels that attract players for longer.

I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a similar curve for Cyberpunk 2077 in the following days. The bulk of people who wanted they've likely bought it already (give or take a few people waiting for bugs to be ironed out) The rest will be waiting for a sale.

Sometimes wanting to be angry about something make us lose perspective of how things work in the real world.

2020, the peak year for "the vote must be rigged because my candidate didn't win".

I miss having this argument thrice a day during the Steam Sales community vote. Where. every. single. vote. was. rigged. somehow.

PlayStation 4 exclusive.. Game of the Year. :)

[Schickenwulf (Huhnhund)]

Honestly, screw Naughty Dog.

The trends they started are a huge part of the reason gaming is so bland and uninteresting right now. They should be given an award for convincing the industry that the kind of bland, cutscene driven gameplay they create is some kind of accomplishment to be copied time and again.

Maybe that's exactly what this is.

I remember that... they probably also did it with the Lou2 game to because of the unusual amount of returns it was getting, not to mention shelves still packed and retailers just couldn't get rid of the so called game. If anything... it was more of a Coffee Coaster.

I also remembered 1 Korean streamer got so bored with the game and hated it so much that he snapped the disc in half.
