If I remember right what Neil said was basically along the lines of "thanks for voting us, let's try to win" and The Gamers (including Era!) found that very offensive.I think people just really dislike Neil over the game itself. TLOU2 was pretty much going to win the the TGA's Player's Voice, but the second Neil said something on Twitter that rubbed off the haters, then they started flooding the votes. Given the fact that MC vote was lowkey and barely anyone mentioned it, I'm pretty sure they just didnt care about voting or the game winning, they just want a chance to "own Neil" for ruining their beloved Joel.
EDIT: wrong quote sorry.
It's the difference between TLOU2 and Tsushima that's weirding me out -- from what I've experienced, their fanbases online are about equal, with there perhaps even being a few more Tsushima boosters. There definitely isn't 5x more TLOU2 fans out there. Then again, I'm not that familiar with the Metacritic audience. Maybe it's just a hotbed of TLOU2 love. Shrug!
maybe you should go occupy the capitol to let them know your feelings.
the only one with actual evidence of "rigging" funnily enough :PNo, they will say that literally the only award that matters specifically is the game awards player choice, and nothing else.
Same with me.Or perhaps there's a lot of people who like both, but give the nod to TLOU2 as the better game between the two.
That would certainly align with my own opinion.
If this is true then the results are more-or-less impossible unless a large fraction of voters - roughly 40% - or more cast a vote for TLOU2 and nothing else in the top 15.You had to type yourself the names of up to five games and press the button to confirm your vote
I should've added that you wrote 5 names in the order so the first one gets 5 points from you, the second one 4 points etc. So it's not like 10k people voted, the game got 10k points.If this is true then the results are more-or-less impossible unless a large fraction of votes cast- roughly 40% - or more cast a vote for TLOU2 and nothing else in the top 15.
40% is a minimum boundary and requires some very difficult-to-believe assumptions, such as literally every voter who voted for any game in the top 15 had to have voted for TLOU2 as #1. As that seems extremely unlikely, the number of voters who voted for TLOU2 and nothing else in the top 15 is extremely likely to be higher than 40%. 50%+ seems necessary to approach a reasonable distribution of other votes.
I would say this result is shocking and difficult to believe, since it implies among other things that almost every single person who voted in the poll owns a PS4/5 and had access to a copy of TLOU2.
Oh I know. A minimum of 2038 people voted for TLOU2 (if you assume all votes it got were 5 points, e.g. everyone who voted for it picked it as #1). The problem is that all of the other votes shown only account for 1000 or so voters at most.[

Jokes aside, the remaster boxart should be interesting. Hoping better than TLOU1 remaster because I'm not a big fan of that.
Disagreements about the plot aside I think given the shit around review bombing the more user awards it wins the better.Many games on that list were robbed by Last of Us 2 and I think that game is pretty good in every regard except for story.
The difference is so large I have no doubt this is result of votebombing anyway. Totally meaningless.It's almost like when reviewbombing isn't in the mix, the actual results will show.
It was a ridiculous last year for PS4 to be honest and a great PS5 launch. I'm sure in a couple of years we will look back and wonder how Sony pulled that off during a pandemic
Even by normal standards, it was a great year. Sony really pulled it off.Nice to see Ori just behind AC!

It was like a PS5 game before the PS5 was released. That early linear part where you are on a horse with Dina going through foliage - absurd how good that looks. Rest of the game wasn't a slouch either. I'd put it as GOTY too. Should probably load it up on my PS5 and LG CX - don't think I have yet.
How dare you be objective and make sense.Or perhaps there's a lot of people who like both, but give the nod to TLOU2 as the better game between the two.
