Holy shit, good on it. Not even what I would vote for but it's a great game and I'm glad people recognise it, I'm just kinda surprised given some of the other stuff on that list like AC (both varieties).

 

[SJRB]

Awesome. Incredible game for sure.

 

[Astorian]

Just like it’s user score, everyone knows this wasn’t genuine, but congrats SP I guess.

 

[diffusionx]

Gets voted out in the first round of the NeoGAF GOTG award
Loses TGA Player Choice to a game that everyone thought it would steamroll

TLOU2 just can't catch a break.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Amazing win!

 

[kretos]

Just like it’s user score, everyone knows this wasn’t genuine, but congrats SP I guess.

no it's a great game and deserve to win

 

[killatopak]

Bugsnax was a contender LMAO!

 

[MiguelItUp]

Good, that makes me happy. It was a great and beautiful game through and through. Well deserved.

The aesthetic, the music, everything. It was so good. Then SP added that free DLC that was pretty damn significant and no one suspected it. Just made it even better!

 

[yunkaiza]

Noice

 

[Bodomism]

Neil Drunkman thought it was a good idea to trash talk TLOU2 haters on twitter while TLOU2 was leading the poll lmao. He accidentally rallied them to vote for GOT and he immediately regretted his decision and deleted his tweet earlier but it was too late .

 

[Lupingosei]

Of course the question is now, is Sucker Punch allowed to take accept the award happily or are the pressured into making a political statement, because the "wrong" people voted for it.

 

[Resistance100]

.

 

[ToadMan]

Well deserved. SP really accomplished something special and in many ways unique I’d say.

The only real competition was AC and that isn’t really a game that inspires much devotion amongst its players.

TLOU2 was too divisive so that wasn’t going to make it.

Rest of the list is distinctly average.

 

[ChrisV]

Guess what site isn’t happy about this....

 

[Kerotan]

We all know TLOU2 was the real winner but this is a massive L for era so I'm happy all the same. Too early on my Ghost playthrough to judge personally. Crazy to think Sony is now battling itself for the GOTY award.

MAYBE Neil will think twice before mouthing off on twitter. By all means have a laugh afterwards but he got what he deserved doing it before. A lot of people under his wing at NG will be pissed all their hard work won't be recognised. Such is life.

I missed all of that. Made my day that has

 

[Ammogeddon]

Well deserved, glad to have voted for them.

SP did a great job and elevated themselves to another level with GoT. Congrats to the team and looking forward to what comes next.

I love it when total pricks as this one show themselves as insecure pussies.

Goat of Tsushima!!!

 

[DonJorginho]

Just like it’s user score, everyone knows this wasn’t genuine, but congrats SP I guess.

Don't be a sore loser, it was an amazing title and fully deserved it's win.

 

[SJRB]

...wait, GoT got votes as a "fuck you" to TLOU2?

That sucks. GoT is a legit great game.

 

[Captain Toad]

Just like it’s user score, everyone knows this wasn’t genuine, but congrats SP I guess.

"Ghost of Tsushima, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but <blank> is one of the best games of all-time. Of. All. Time."

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

I think a significant chunk of its votes (not all!) were not genuinely due to a love of the game , but I'm not disappointed with it winning. Though I'd personally put TLOU2 ahead of it, I absolutely loved my time playing GoT and it still is one of my favourite PS4 exclusives nonetheless, so I'm happy Sucker Punch gets an award!

 

[Endless Fluff]

I didn't even know you can vote.

Thanks Druckman, this is the first good thing you did this year.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Yess. A brilliant exclusive game for the end of last gen. Well deserved! Kurosawa is proud.

 

[ChrisV]

The thing is TLoU2 was a fine game. Looked great. I care about the characters, but it just dragged on and on. If you aren’t going to let me explore an open world and do side stuff, then I need you to wrap up your game in like 12 hours.

 

[DonJorginho]

I think people forget that as many voters who'd choose GoT as a fuck you to The Last of Us Part II, the same amount if not more out of the LGBT community would vote for TLOU II as to say fuck you to "homophobes" who didn't like the game.

 

[Armorous]

LOL he hates trolls but becomes one himself?
Also, oops joke guys... that excuse hasn't flown for how long now for that group?
I can't wait for all the people who think they have some power over the masses to fall hard on their face.

 

[Vire]

I like both games, so I'm not gonna get all sour about it. Congrats to Sucker Punch.

 

[Bojanglez]

It is a game that continues to keep giving. I finished it on PS4, but it has had a new lease of life with PS5 and the Legends update, I'm still loving exploring the world and remaining side missions.

I think that whilst possibly not the game I would say is the 'best' game of the year, it's one of my (maybe actually) my favourite in many ways.

 

[Captain Toad]

I think a significant chunk of its votes (not all!) were not genuinely due to a love of the game

Ok, go on... What game did these people really want to vote for before deciding to vote for Ghost of Tsushima? And what forces pulled them to vote for GoT and shim their true GOTY vote?

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

Very good game and way better on PS5 at 60fps.

My reaction to the Era thread:

 

[Dunki]

As It should.

Personally I would so far call Yakuza like a Dragon my GOTY but Ghost is great too.

I am not sure about that. Ghost is really loved by the people look how good their Metacritic User score is.

I can definitely get behind this, the Legends update and the 60fps patch for PS5 were great support for the game, the game is certainly deserving of the award.

 

[Arkam]

Was my game of the year (so far) so I can enthusiastically get behind this.

They probably wouldn't have voted at all, nice cutting the rest of my comment though

Did you actually play the game?

We all know TLOU2 was the real winner

Lol, no.

 

[ForestVSea]

Congratulations to Sucker Punch, a fantastic game studio

“I’m a genius!”

“Oh no!”

I am not sure about that. Ghost is really loved by the people look how good their Metacritic User score is.

Oh I know many people genuinely loved the game too, myself included, I gave it a 10/10 Metacritic user vote myself even

Paging THEAP99 for meltdown or damage control.

You didn't answer the question. What game was their favorite? Why did they go out of their way to vote for GoT? I'm trying to follow your logic.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

This is my GoT. I loved it.

 

[noise36]

People seem to really like this game, have been tempted to try it but cant shake the feeling it looks like a generic Ubisoft game I would normally avoid.

Are they really salty? Hahahaha

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

I wouldn't describe it like that at all, I really recommend trying it if you're interested in the setting!

 

[AJUMP23]

This is where the critics and the gamers will diverge. GoT was a great game and a fun experience. What I want out of a game. Good on it.
