It's difficult to know RDR2 won any GOTY award even if you are always here reading Resetera. I only knew it because there is the GOTY picks awards topic. Besides, i don't even know why every time a new website announces a GOTY new threads are created. It would be better to put every award announcement in that topic.
Because the mods stated that if the award is from a big publication, it's allowed to be posted. Awards from smaller publications go into the megathread. If you have issues with GoW getting new threads every time it wins an award, take it up with the mods.
And I'd rather take those website opinions than a collective set of thoughts that seem to hate every great game this year.
Era isn't as big as you seem to think it is.
How can you be sure that who voted for these Australian Awards didn't hate on GoW or other games?
You can't.
Btw, i don't see any game being hated by Era
The mental gymnastics are getting out of hand. Now we're being selective with what matters and what doesn't? And Era's choice is somehow the second most important GOTY pick?? What? Outside this forum, I doubt anyone really cares what ERA picks as their top 10. In fact, while you see IGN, gamespot, eurogamer, whatever publications get featured in trailers, GOTY edition retail boxes, you never see a gaming forum's stamp of approval... gee, i wonder why.
Awesome. Well deserved.
Too many buttons for you, my Final Fantasy loving friend? ;)
Seriously though, I'm a gameplay first type of guy and RDR2 is really working for me. I get the complaints, but they just melt away when I'm back in Morgan's shoes.

Sure thing Nico (great avatar btw)
For me, Era's Goty is more important that IGN, Gamespot, etc
It was last year too, and I didn't even play BotW
Good choice but they gave Detroit Become Human RPG of the year...? that is worst then giving it to MHW lol ;) ....2 great games in the wrong category.
EDIT: Just saw there is a post about Detroit also...nm

Great choice. Few games absorb me into their world like RDR2 does. I didn't want to leave, but thankfully I can go back and enjoy it all over again.
Yikes. RestEra is a fraction of the size of these websites. This forum's GOTY does not matter in the scheme of things.
The poing being that you stating that Era's GOTY matters more than smaller websites' is simply you being shitty and up your own arse.

I honestly find Era so weird. The opinions are so out of step with everyone else. RDR2 sucks! The Witcher 3 is overrated! Smash Bros is the game of the year!
What is going on here?
It's the truth. And where is your proof that these awards are rigged?
Didn't know we were getting into conspiracy theories here, but look at you.
Nobody cares about Era's GOTY outside of the members of this forum.
Literally who cares. These awards don't mean anything.
Both games deserve their acclaim.
How the hell can you call anything rigged when you consider the TGA, which is nothing but a circle jerk of publicity and long ads, as the most important award out there.
Yeah, I'm a member of this forum. What's your point?
Why do you want to drop it, or is it because you know you don't have any proof that these awards are rigged? That's it, isn't it.
It was voted by 69 legit media outlets
That means something in my book
Only if Celeste wins GOTY on here will it have any credibility at all.
People care way too much about their favorite game winning these awards.
It's fine if RDR II wins something. It's fine if GoW wins something. It's not a big deal, and they don't mean much.
Dude, if you don't work in SSM or something your obsession with GoW winning is getting weird to say the least.
Calm down.
I am cringing so hard at your valiant attempts in this thread, don't listen to anyone else. Keep going!
Not when opinions arn't vetted to be balanced. As users here state, Era awards are for fun but dont mean anything to dev houses or publishers, hence do not hold any weight.
I caught some of this earlier. It was painful to watch tbh. So much cringe.
Fitting result, then.

Sadly, it seems that way. And even if you agree with people on their GOTY choice, god forbid you dare to critically examine one aspect of a game, they just pounce anyway.
I suppose. RDR2 and GoW are very interesting games to pick between. Both are heavily story focused, but deliver it in such different ways that it's creating these diverging, strong opinions. I guess when you have games that are so similar yet different you are going to end up with very passionate debates.
I loved both games and you are right, they take such different routes to tell their story. I'd say God of War is definitely more of a critic darling as it borrows heavily from games that came before it to make a very polished experience. RDR2, on the other hand, feels very rough around the edges, almost like an indie game that was given a $100 million budget... but if you give yourself to it, the game takes you on a fantastic journey.
In the end, I enjoyed RDR2 more and I doubt there will be another game like this for quite some time. Very memorable.
