Well deserved. Amazing game and took the two most important GOTYs.
Most important really? So everyone else opinion is just worthless?
Absolutely, Loudninja. It undermines whatever GOTY was given to your favorite game.
So the rumor that US hated Death Stranding are right no US outlets had Death Strading close to win.
They won GameSpot 2009 with Demon's Souls
At this point Sekiro must have more Critic's GOTY than Death Stranding, right?
You recently got banned for this exactly and you haven't learned yet? Reading your post history it's full of Death Stranding shitpost, obviously a throwaway account.

updated the OP!
Dude you've gotta cut this shit out. It's tiring
Death Stranding is indeed the GOTY for indie/no name sites.
Sekiro is still missing 2 new GOTYs
Included in all those years:
2016
Akihabara Blues (ES): Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Akihabara Blues Readers' Choice (ES): Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
2015
Akihabara Blues (ES): Bloodborne
Akihabara Blues Readers' Choice (ES): Bloodborne
2014
Akihabara Blues (ES): Sunset Overdrive
Akihabara Blues Readers' Choice (ES): Alien: Isolation
2013Akihabara Blues (ES): The Last of Us
Akihabara Blues Readers' Choice (ES): Grand Theft Auto V
2012Akihabara Blues (ES): Dishonored
Akihabara Blues Readers' Choice GOTY (ES): Dishonored
Only US based sites are important. All the non-US sites are indie/no name sites.

I made no references to US or non-US sites so I don't know why youse are jumping to that foul conclusion but there's no debate that IGN and GameSpot are far bigger and prestigious than something like jeuxvideo. It's not about the location, most of the well known sites are simply not picking Death Stranding and it's important to note the sites picking DS are comprised of far fewer staff than those who aren't.
I don't know if you're talking about me or not but I've never said that they should get rid of user voting just that they are meaningless to me personally
I think that they should catalog things as they see fit and more thing catalogued the better. I just ignore the user voting
jeuxvideo is actually one of the biggest gaming sites in france. some of those other sites tho, they seem pretty small time. not that it makes any difference, their pick counts as much as picks from IGN, gamespot, edge, game informer, eurogamer, etc.
It doesn't matter who has more staff or whatever. Jeuxvideo, as you have mentioned, has over 1.2 million followers on twitter. Not bad for a french-only site? Pretty sure jeuxvideo is far bigger and more prestigious in France then IGN is. But hey, doesn't matter.
IGN = One GOTY award. Jeuxvideo = One GOTY award. So all is good ;)
I know right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
user polls are as useless as the user scores on metacritic. I'm surprised this blog even counts them but it looks like they have for previous years, so carry on. Personally I'd never count something like that.
it does count them separately tho, so in the end it's clear which game has the most picks from critics, which historically seems to be the overall winner anyway (so the game with most critics picks is usually the game with the most critics+fan votes as well). the notable exception being 2016.
How doesn't it matter who has more staff? A game like Control would have a much harder time convincing a larger company like IGN it is deserving of GOTY than Death Stranding would for a smaller company like jeux. Both would equal exactly one vote in the end.
Because it doesn't matter.
Jeuxvideo isn't a site/company ran by 2 people. They have a lot of people, too. It's time for you to get rid of that "if it is this and that, it doesn't count or count way more" way of thinking. Just accept the fact that there are editors choice GOTYs based on the picks from the editors of each site and people's choice GOTYs based on the picks from the community of each site. Every pick counts. All are the same. And that's good. Don't try to make special rules because you don't like some of the choices.
Every year we have the same mental gymnastics regarding the GOTY pics.
Same. It got one GOTY from GoombaStomp based on that list though!
But IGN is still comprised of more staff and more people to convince than jeux. I don't like Death Stranding and was bored out of my mind having played three hours of the beginning but this is more about games getting their rightful recognition than it is about crapping on DS.
They don't count sites like PC Gamer but they just included PC Guru Magazine. Unless the magazine also considered Nintendo or PS exclusives the blog isn't even being consistent in its criteria.
You sure this isn't you just unconsciously trying to validate your own opinions?
Who cares? Why does this matter? So IGN has more people which automatically means their GOTY award should count twice? Or what are you trying to say here? Why does it matter? The GOTY awards of the biggest sites in germany here are just as much worth as the IGN US award. The GOTY awards of the biggest sites in France are just as much worth as the IGN US award.
The games ARE getting the "rightful recognition". The communities of all those sites AND the editors of all those sites are telling you what their GOTYs are. Both GOTYs do count, should count and that's where we are now. So all good.
they do, they have console exclusives and non-PC multiplats as winners and nominees in several of their categories.
The blog is consistent,PCGuru was included because they cover all the plataforms,PC/PS/XBOX/Nintendo,you can't say the same about PC Gamer,don't make any sense include awards from sites exclusive about a plataform,since it is about overall game of the year,not about PlayStation Game of the Year,Xbox Game of the Year,Nintendo Game of the Year or PC Game of the year,the case of PC Gamer.
You keep making this about country when I'm basically trying to say the opinions of 85 people is collectively worth more than that of say 32 people. REGARDLESS OF COUNTRY.
Anyways, enjoy your awards.
That's why for me (!) the people's choice GOTY award, voted by thousands of gamers, is more worth than a GOTY award voted by a few editors. But in the end, both count the same. As they should. People's Choice, Editor's Choice, GOTYs from US sites, GOTY's from european sites, etc. All the same. All good!
Same :)
It seems that way.
One thing's for sure, someone said these threads are something else.
They were not lying......
Couldn't care less about readers choices for obvious reasons (popularity advantage/fanboys that might not even play the games but still vote), but critics awards are the same for me no matter the site/magazine. They are just opinions from a few people at the end of the day.
Seems like a somewhat close race so far, though I expected RE2 to have more awards since it had great reviews. Glad to see Control and DS getting recognition, but especially the first since the sales were rather poor.
Sekiro is the best one though :p

I believe that It will not win from any major US outlets. It will win from smaller ones but I'd take IGN, Gamespot, TGA over them easily - way more visible and more clout.
IMO, it matters big time. Their traffic per month is insane. I don't think it should count twice, but it's a much bigger deal than getting it from lesser unknown sites. Just like when a car wins car of the year. JD Power carries way more prestige than BillyBobCarRatings.com.
I am not going to downplay regional websites because I don't know enough about them, but being that IGN and Gamespot are the most traffic by a large margin, I am sure it's pretty important to them - which is why Remedy made a video thanking them...it's a big deal.

So in 7 of the past 10 years, the Game Awards GOTY has matched the GOTYPicks GOTY. The only 3 years where they differed were:
2008 - Game Awards: GTA4, GOTYPicks: Fallout 4
2013 - Game Awards: GTA5, GOTYPicks: The Last of Us
2016 - Game Awards: Overwatch, GOTYPicks: Uncharted 4
2008 - Game Awards: GTA4, GOTYPicks: Fallout 4
2013 - Game Awards: GTA5, GOTYPicks: The Last of Us
2016 - Game Awards: Overwatch, GOTYPicks: Uncharted 4
Resident Evil 2 is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
This will be another year,I stick with my predication,the overall GOTY will be Death Stranding or Resident Evil 2,reader's choice will define the winner this year.
The Last of Us was the biggest robbed ever, at the same award show they gave Naughty Dog the best studio, how do you award Naughty Dog as best studio of the year, but give GOTY to GTA V?
This will be another year,I stick with my predication,the overall GOTY will be Death Stranding or Resident Evil 2,reader's choice will define the winner this year.

DS seemed to have taken a decent sized lead but it seems it is slowly closing again. This could end up down to the wire. Wonder if the difference stays very small if they can actually call a winner at some point since you always have late entries that could tip the scales.
