There was Smash but, as a multiplayer fighting game, its chances of winning a large amount were fairly slim
God of War has gotten plenty of recognition and is considered to be up there. I'd say it has more recognition for that in general than Bloodborne, at the very least
Other games released in 2017 also affected how much awards BotW won and there were plenty of high quality titles that year, arguably more so than 2018. There's more than just two games that can win GotY after all. Not that it's a useful comparison anyways as this is all speculation
Where is this quote you used mentioned at all in here? Again, this is really just raw number to number, not recognition or percentage of awards.
It is driving me crazy that people are thinking Op is saying something completely different than what they are...crazy!
I'm still not sure what you're getting at. There were plenty of other games in 2018 that affected how many God of War won too. Heck most of the 130 awards RDR2 won God of War was #2 right behind it. Take RDR2 away and God of War is the most awarded game of all time with over 300 zero doubt. You'd have to take almost every single other game away in 2017 for Zelda to accomplish the same feat.
And if you read my comment you would see that 2017 had less awards counted than 2018. So the numbers in the OP are misleading. Did you look at the source for the OP?
Just looking at era, I haven´t seen half as many threads around GoW than around BotW.
And I respectfully disagree. As others have said - significantly more GotY awards were dispensed/tallied in 2017 than 2018. BotW still leads in percentage, which is a far better metric to look at.
Lol You're just assuming that God of War would've naturally won every award that went to RDR 2, when that's not necessarily the case. Not everyone was placing both of those games as either #1 or #2. A fair amount of those awards could've gone to other games and, personally, I'd argue 2017 had a larger amount of high profile titles than 2018 did. At any rate, my point was that these sort of comparisons are pointless as they just end up boiling down to speculation and are never and could never be 1 to 1, such as due to the games that are released that year or the number of awards given out
There is like 10 sites listed in 2017 where GoW won and is not listed in 2018,again,the thread is just about X = Y+1 not so hard to understand.
Well there were a crap ton when the game got announced. Not that that really means much as Era doesn't represent the majority of consumers out there anyways. There's plenty of love for the game, a lot of it
How am I assuming when most of these awards were numbered and God of War was #2 on the majority of awards RDR2 won. Take RDR2 away and something like Spider-Man or Celeste doesn't magically all of the sudden jump ahead of God of War. Not how that works at all.
Well the whole of premise of the OT is GoW N+1 > BotW N, it´s right there on the title and in the very first sentence of the OT. That premise is misleading when N has a different meaning for both situations being compared. At this point I´m just repeating myself, I´m out.
I bet at least 80% of RDR2 Awards has GoW as second.Just see the links.
Since when ERA represents critics and gaming community around the world?
What revisionist history? The narrative that RDR2 would sweep existed in the lead-up to release, then dissipated as time went on. By the time the Awards season rolled around critical consensus began to push back, and public opinion went all poo-poo.
I didn't say that they'd jump ahead of God of War, just that they would have most likely won some of those awards as well, if RDR 2 was removed from existence
That was also true for a lot of the other games that won GotY in 2017 with BotW. Really, this isn't exactly a great comparison. But, hey, I get it, some people really want their game to be better than that other game they don't like as much ;)
And you clearly are refusing to understand that more awards were counted in 2018 than 2017. 375 (and counting)>333.
