The Last of Us Part II wins GOTY at The Game Awards 2020

Well-deserved. Incredible game. Probably my second-favorite games of the generation after Bloodborne.
The gameplay is legitimately at the top of the class in its genre along with MGSV.

That's because a large jury of game journalists vote, and that's the case for most publications with their own awards as well.
TloU2 won TGA GOTY but will win most of the Gotys this year as well. As it should
What's sad is the fact that what you probably consider 'real' games couldn't beat a "movie".
well deserved, i have issues with parts of it and i feel the first is a tighter and better overall game, but its one of the most engrossing experiences this gen for sure that had me on edge from start to finish. and the performances and facial animation are a cut above everyone else, congrats to ND and everyone who worked on it.
and fuck yes let the salt flow from all the haters too, they can all eat shit and get fucked

When you talk down on people and then don't understand the difference between game direction and game production :lol
they may be better games to you, but people liked the last of us 2, shocking. The people that voted for it that had a criteria also thought so.
The game I (in my all knowing esteemed opinionhood) wanted to win didn't win so therefore the entire show is bias towards a certain type of game despite a long list of games that don't fit my bullshit criteria having won in the past :(
You realize he isnt keeping them hostage and making them work for no pay right?
I do not condone crunch time work but its an issue in the game industry. Don't try to pain this as a ND issue.
Also these people work together for years. His comment shouldn't have people throwing shady at him for wanting to have a good time with them. You are making an assumption they dont like him or something. Dont take his comments personal.
The voters don't agree with you and it would be a much dangerous path to go down to have the judges vote for an agenda, not a game.
Its always funny seeing this real game nonsense when this game has so so the best gameplay in its genre.
I can't tell if these types of posts are sarcasm or not anymore.
The award is for best game, not "game that got us through a pandemic." Please stop using a fucking virus that has killed thousands to push this weird ass agenda about TGA.
Wasnt this debunked the hospitalization part ?
and on direcction
Yeah it was debunked. People are just being sore losers on twitter. It's obvious how much of an impact TLOU2 had in gaming this year and it's commercially and critically successful.
It's the fact that the category is games, all games, not just big flashy games. 2020 years from now will have animal crossings talked about how it got millions through a pandemic. It makes no sense
all people care about is sticking it to 4chan when it comes down to it. Not what the games did in the year.
It's the exact reason why it's the game of the year for 2020. It's context.
This so much. Also every game nominated was great, i don't get why people are so mad about TLOU winning this (useless for us) award.
I still need to play these games after all the praise given to them lol.
Thank god I don't have to hear about alt-right types claiming a victory off TLOU2 losing.
Game is still the strongest I've played this year, what a journey.

The best one here is Laura Bailey winning Best performance for Abby. I bet GG type gamers minds are collectively imploding right about now.
1) Nintendo is not available everywhere
2) Its a game for which you pay 60%
3)To play the game you need a 300$ device
If criteria is helping millions through a pandemicc then give it to a game which is free to play , available to all platforms
Like two people I know were amazed to see him presenting the GOTY award and I was just like "He is there to keep pushing Tenet...." but yeah they would have been enraged/insulted to see AC being given the award by HIM. Only TLOU2 deserves THAT honor by the "genius and visionary" Christopher Nolan lol
that's because TLOU2 is the TLJ of gaming,
and honestly TLOU2 should not have gotten that many awards, especially best narrative with 13 sentinels right there
There's some merit for any one of these games winning, and I'd understand the justification for any, including Animal Crossing, for your stated reasons (I think it's a very well-made game, but the huge lack of QoL features soured me quickly). It just happens that more people enjoyed TLoU2 this year, and there's nothing wrong with that because the game is fantastic, even if you're someone who prefers gameplay over storytelling. It excels on multiple fronts.
Would it have been nice to see Hades win as an indie rogue-lite title? Sure, but I'm not going to lament it because plenty of other games were also deserving, including the winner. That it was nominated in various categories (including a couple of wins) is a huge honor. I'm happy to see Hades pick up wins from individual publications as someone who loved it, so it's not being ignored at all.
Not sure what else there is to say, but it's easily one of the best games I've ever played and I'm happy for the team. It's a bold and moving experience.
2020 years from now people won't talk about the pandemic+AC...
And TLoU2 will win the most gotys this year, not only TGA
Really because that's not how life experiences work when you're shut down and trapped indoors
Tlou 2 is actually a great game while TLJ is a mediocre movie (and not for the reasons pushed by the 4chan/ clowns / idiots online)
I'm happy on the basis that the game deserves it telling a ballsy story as far as gaming goes. It deserve goty for that alone...
Ok let's see how many GOTYS it ends up winning...wanna bet if it's more than TLoU2?
I wonder if this forum will ever be able to discuss the short-comings of TLOU2 without crazy kneejerk reactions/hyperbole (either way).

I suppose I should have said third person, big budget action games. I don't really care about the choices skewing a certain way personally as all awards are subjective by nature. This show is designed for the AAA scene. Just interesting that it's easy to predict the large studios winning. What's irritating to me is if this wants to be the "Oscars of gaming," then this needs to be less about reveals and more about the actual games as an art form. The majority of the announcements were just rapid fire without even reading all of the nominees. Obviously that won't bring in any viewers, so it won't happen.
Spoiler thread(s) had plenty of intelligent, respectful discussions on it for months.
