I will never not use this gif when it is applicable. Good show for Cory and SSM!

Yakuza Kiwami 2 got robbed!

Got GoW during BF sales and it's a great, great game. Yeah it has a few minor issues but it's a 9 or 9.5 game for me. And no damn MTX or IAP in site on top of that.

Edit: On a more personal basis, DQXI was my GotY but GoW is a better game overall.

The BOI takeover continues. Another big award. Anyone a link to the thread counting the totals?

This is all so surreal...

I could never have imagined all this recognition and beating out RDR2, wasn't even a possibility. Amazing.

If you're an artist at SSM, congrats! You guys did an impeccable job with this title and it deserves the honours. Also, the art in the game really is incredible.

RDR2 is a technical marvel and one of the best open world experiences ever made. But there are too many issues with gameplay and the story flow that probably puts it just behind GOW. Hard to argue with GOW as the worthy winner of GOTY.

The game didnt hit me like it did other people, and I had some issues with the pacing, but I think i need to give this game another play through. There was a lot i enjoyed about it but I need to give it another shot

I think God of War deserves a special award for being the first game that was so good, I didn't mind that they rebooted the series' title.

God of the Year.

It seems that GoW is really the one pulling ahead of RDR2 and the rest.
Maybe it's too early to call it, but the consensus among reviewers seems to be GoW as GotY.

Considering many of them are the same that voted it GOTY for the Game Awards, I wouldn't say this is too surprising.
