The Last of Us Part II wins GOTY at The Game Awards 2020
- Thread starter RPGamer92
- Start date
Definitely. I'm actually surprised they rushed through a few of the awards again since that seemed to be a big criticism of the last years shows.
Just to add
Among us and fortnite as well if i add can be played on devices which an average consumers uses free or dirt cheap cost
True True! I should have clarified more. I peeked into the Spoiler thread earlier this week, and it was great. Lots of discussion on which parts landed and didn't for different users. I feel like when the discussion is considered "within the community" it's very civil.
But when you get more public threads like these.... yeesh.
And yea, as wbloop said, I feel like 4chan just poisoned the fucking well on some of these games/movies/tv shows. It really fucking sucks.
Keighley really needs to learn to say no to some stuff, the show was packed so I think they felt the need to rush in every segment. There was definitely stuff that didn't need to be there but they need to pay the bills I guess.
Well deserved and it's my goty as well!
Wow I hadn't seen that before, love it.
Nice didn't know that, very impressive!

It's my opinion, and an opinion held by others as well. No need to be so dismissive and hostile just because you don't agree.
yeah its a technical marvel, also especially after seeing all the bug fested big games recently, tlou2 was polished to max on day1 too.
Really weird response here. It was one of the best games of the year but it shouldn't have won because 2020 sucks? Or because there are crunch culture?
So you want to dismiss People's work which they worked so hard for our just because it's showing some realities of world?

Point me to anyone defending Captain Marvel as an unimpeachable work of art in 2020. People/critics were able to comment on the toxic context around the film while also pointing out that it was a messy origin story that didn't have a good handle of the character yet.
These straw men people make up that imply the only reason people defend TLJ or TLOU 2 is to virtue signal are so weird.
Not only was the story amazing, but the gameplay was so clean. It's deserved.
FF7
TLOU2
AC:NH
Were the games I had the most fun with this year - but I completed 6 Yakuza games this year, and I'm waiting for 7 to go on sale - super hyped for it. Gotta make my way through 0 after Demon's souls

Well deserved. Great gameplay with probably one of the best written stories in the medium. Hopefully Neil can get ND to not crunch their workers tho.
How do you think ND handle trans representation in this game? I know a lot of people felt Lev was nothing more than a trans misery porn character...had to kill his moms, watched his sister die a terrible death, gets dead named. Curious to know your thoughts.
it's not just that but it does make it hard when one of the sides is filled with incels, homophobes, and misogynist, so people in turn go extra hard in defending it.
Yo, spoilers wtf
Edit: Plenty of people have posted in this thread that they're excited to play this game still
Preach. TLOU2's gameplay is top tier stuff.
There was a particular section of the game that crushed me enough emotionally that I didn't want to play it through but the fantastic gameplay kept reeling me in.
And I'm glad I did push through. Great gameplay. Great story.
While the poster does go too far, it does say something that a game that became a culture phenomena to the point that it broke sell records worldwide, people have talk shows in it and company used it for business, and it get hosted on stuff like the Daily Show as the best tech of 2020, it comes across as dismissive to compare it to Among Us that didn't have half that reach.
And honestly, Among Us would qualified if it came out this year for what it has done.
That's a pretty deep question for 4:15am lol. Having people suggest the only reason people wanted it to win was to spite 4Chan is pretty shitty though. It was one of the main pillars around me finally accepting my trans identity and self, and moving toward transition. Funnily enough not in Lev, but the validation found through Ellie and Dina's relationship, and Abby as a woman that defied traditional views of femininity. As a consequence the game means a sincere amount on a personal level, in addition to being a great game in general. On the topic of Lev I'll say I don't think it was dire as others found it, but I'd have stopped at the single deadname instance and not had the whole mother bit. There's a lot more between those lines but that's the general bullets around the aspects I wasn't fond of. I think having something akin to the Dino museum where he explores a more joyful past section expanding and touching on his identity would have worked wonders to complement.
In a gamers way, I guess. In the minds of culture, Animal Crossing beats it by a landslide.
had a good laugh at this lmao, thanksMuch like Abby, Naughty Dog killed it.
You felt that AC was the better game, others didn't, that's all there is to it. You can prop up AC without belittling TLOU2s accomplishments.
The Oscars are horrible too and even more snubbish. Like animation pictures can't even be nominated for Best Film of the Year. Instead, it's put in the ghetto Best Animated Film.
And those games didn't come out this year, so they couldn't be nominated. So why do they keep being brought up as an argument?
I think there will never be a definitive answer to this.
I've seen trans friends praise ND for not only having Lev but also for giving him a strong arc that resonated with them. I've seen trans friends be indifferent towards LOU2 because they don't really have the desire to see trans characters go through the misery that they usually go through when the mainstream media has a trans character.
There's really people in here stanning for Animal Crossing not for its gameplay and/or mechanical depth, but because of its...popularity lol.
So the most popular and culturally relevant game should win every year? Call of Duty or FIFA the winners every year confirmed. Well, outside of the odd zeitgeist games like Fortnite, Fall Guys, Among Us, Minecraft, Roblox etc.

For sure.
This game is one of the best in the game play department. Once MP comes out people will go crazy all over again.
Outside of Fall Guys, none of those games came out this year so why do they keep being mentioned? And Fall Guys kinds fall off the map after a few months so the comparison to Animal Crossing is also very shallow.
Also, we're not really talking about popularity so much about how the game actually helped people on an emotional level during a horrible time in their lives, which isn't the same as COD or Fifa being popular. It also did have good gameplay and mechanics despite its flaws given it has one of the highest MC scores for those who care.
If you ran out of salt and want some, take a look at the dislikes and the comments
so much salt for everyone.
Why do AC fans love to bring that up ever since GOTY season started. people played other online games during pandemic old and new. That's not that special about AC and it's exclusive so the vast majority of gamers didn't even touch it.

Word. I love Animal Crossing but Fortnite and Destiny were the games to bring me together with friends and help provide an anchor through lockdowns. Even through to now.
or a better idea yet. They can champion their fucking game without using a body count, or a tragedy to tell how great their game is. Its fucking disgusting.
I just finished my first play through of TLOU Remastered on PS5. Really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to TLOU Part II, but I'm certain that it will be remastered for PS5 in the near future
I didn't care for it much outside of the gameplay, but no one can deny its level of details and technical expertise on display. While it's not my GOTY, it certainly is a masterpiece of game design in my book.
The game sold over 26 million before the holiday season and it isn't even a year old. If you look at wikipedia, Animal Crossing is currently number 28 on the best selling games of all time. Of all the arguments, the 'vast majority of gamers didn't touch it' is the weirdest take. Unless you mean 'gamers' as in the hardcore gamers who normally don't play games like Animal Crossing.
Yakuza 0 is the first game I started, is it better saved for later? I know it was released later but I never looked up the preferred order.
