It was imperfect but pretty good. Should be recognized for its visual design and attention to detail in its environments above all else honestly. Story, combat, acting? Naughty Dog did a decent job but none were even as close to the game's ability to create a vast believable world.
Bingo. I rate TLOU2 as the best game of the generation, and Ghost of Tsushima as the third best.
I'm typically not a fan of the most AAA game of the year being GOTY, but it's hard to argue with this one. The pacing in the last 2-3 hours is questionable, but otherwise a truly great game.
I'm glad after how hostile it's been with this game (ppl truly lost their minds prelease after the leaks) glad we're slowly coming to terms with it being something incredible all said and done.
lol but jeez the twitter hate brigade is comical in how salty they are in each post announcing that it's game of the year. Must be exhausting constantly seeing ND get away with it.

This forum is so out of touch.
I haven't played the game far enough to drive yet, but despite all the deserved backlash Cyberpunk got, there is still an ENORMOUS amount of people praising Cyberpunk and starting their sentences with "even with all the bugs", etc. ...
I'm not surprised it got voted that high...

Cyberpunk even appearing on the list at all, let alone so high goes to show how much popularity factors into these things.
Maybe i'll do!!!
Nah, i'll just continue writing how for many reasons, TLOUII shouldn't recieve awards.
I have 40 hours with the game. It's grindfest is pretty nice and, when the game hits, it hits. I made a weird build where thanks to cyberhacks i can defeat an enemy base without being spotted and not getting a foot there. Also, some scenes are pretty damn interesting even with the illusion of choices mattering. Game needs free DLCs, and lots of patches to correct the emptyness of the city and other little details like making more diverse fake ingame ads (as in, less shock and sex referential), because with that world, going to an 80's teen idea of shock publicity is shameful. Far from an awful game. Don't see it deserving a top spot right now.
Cyberpunk has like a 500 page long OT here.
if there was a goty vote, it'd definitely end up in the top 10.
No big surprises here. Though the difference in votes between TLOU and the rest is pretty staggering. Congrats to all who made the list. Only two of my own favorites in the top 5, Hades and Cyberpunk. Nothing else I liked (and played) placed in the top 15 even. Good to see Ori and Half-Life though.
The reason TLOU2 can do so well in the metacritic goty user poll while having such a low user review score (5.7) is really clear and easy: Shit heads can brigade a games review score and massively rate it low, but they can't brigade it out of receiving lots of popular votes. Even if they all agreed on one game to throw their weight behind and massively upvoted it together just to spite TLOU2, TLOU2 would have still gotten at worst second place.
GoT didn't get obliterated, 83 MC and 85 OC. It didn't get pure adoration, but it's mostly seen as a really good game by critics.
