I don't know why he doesn't just get off twitter. Considering his position at naughty dog and the things his working on, you'd think he would have better things to do. Dude has been fanning the flames since tlou2 came out.
I think its called "need for social relevance" syndrome.

The funny thing is that there are people that don't think GoT is worthy of an award when going against TLOU2. So rather than thinking it won something fair and square, they're going to think it was "stolen" from TLOU2, or it happened because of trolls, etc.

Man, to each their own, but I personally feel like GoT deserves it for replay value alone. Especially after the DLC they dropped. TLOU2 was a very pretty game, but it was very much a one and done title that just dragged on and on IMO. Nearing the end it was hard to not roll my eyes out of my head because I was being hammered with how depressing everything was, how sad this and that was, etc. It just repeatedly felt tiring throughout the whole experience, so much so that it didn't really feel "fun" per se.

You know I liked TLoU2 very much, still think that has unmatched killroom gameplay and even that it will take years for competition to begin to close the gap.
But the experience is too diluted, that the scripting is too biased, the LGBT thematic too pronounced, even unrealistic in a world haunted by mass exinction every second.
Attaching these themes to a sequel of a game extremely successful was in a way pretentious, manipulatory, I dare to say vile.
That a game with a classic hero, with a great gameplay, focused on its own reality and thematic won is refreshing.

Did 4chan actually rally against TLOU2? That kinda sucks. Would have been nice to have a clean win.
If even some GAFers did it.

As you can see on the thread you posted, mix gafers voted on both sides.

Dude, you're so salty today. Relax.

GoT was an amazing game, and my personal GOTY thus far. TLOU2 was also fantastic IMO.

The sales, reception and now awards feel like a breakout moment for Suckerpunch, in the same way as Horizon was for Guerilla. Suckerpunch and Guerilla are now in the same tier as Naughty Dog, SSM and Insomniac in world wide studios.

Bend made great strides with Days Gone, hopefully their next game can be a breakout too.

Did you actually play the game?
I did. And I enjoyed it. It wasn’t really a huge open world. That’s what I should have said. It was very much on rails. Sure you could go in buildings and open safes, but there were no side quests or anything. It just didn’t do it for me as much as the first one did. And it dragged on and on. That’s my main gripe.

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 🤣.

What did Neil say?

Fake Edit: Okay I see what he said. I like Neil Drukmann ALOT! But that was super stupid of him to say on Twitter. DUDE GET OFF TWITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His recent game is critically lower than the first installment in both critics and users category.

In term of sales, outside the initial big launch of 4 million copies the game leg is tracking behind the like of Spiderman, GOW, UC4, HZD, and GOT.

In other words, the most expansive game of PS4 didn't explode like he was expecting before in both critically and commercially.

I bet the "critics" will disagree, and of course, they will be wrong 😂 Ghost of Tsushima winning is just perfect.

Just how wrong they can be was shown quite clearly by the fact that Microsoft Flight Simulator was not included in the nominees of the Player's Voice award, which is hilarious considering the buzz that it got and is still getting, and how nicely it brought back a genre has been dormant for over a decade. Of course, I don't expect 90% of the press jury to even be able to start the engines, let alone take off. 😂

I mean... PC Gamer still believes that "engaging the autopilot" is the same thing as relinquishing control to your AI copilot (and they never corrected it despite being told how silly it is by everyone in the comments) 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

"Turning on autopilot is by no means complex, but it's not like there's an 'autopilot' button to press or anything."

... Actually, the autopilot is a fairly complex system, and yes, there most definitely is an "autopilot" button to press. You're just ignorant and you don't know what you're talking about. 😂

This is, unfortunately, the average level of a lot of the "critics."

I liked it a lot... I have no ideia what you are talking about.

GoT is not a GOTY content... it is very very repetitive.
Most people doesn't share that opinion thats why it is a GOTY contender.I didn't enjoyed TLOU2 and i think that game was very repetitive with mediocre dialogs unlikable characters but i won't say that its not GOTY material because just like with GoT a lot of people enjoyed it.Thats why TLOU2 is not my goty but GoT is and GoT is not your goty but (from what i see from your post) TLOU2 is.Do you understand now?

Please explain to us the wide variety of things you can do in TLOU2
Wut?

The game basically do way better than the original with better and fast reactive AI, the levels are complex and added vertical options to it, enemy variety is way better, it has more stealth and combat options, and shooting with guns still has unmatched impact and effect, there are more crafts and skills to use, etc.

You have way different ways to play the game and/or beat the enemies.
That is something the first game had and it was vastly improved in the sequel.
Plus there is a lot of side activities... in fact it do more than some Open World games.

People are really that blind due the political views? Because there is no way to play TLOU2 and thinks it has no variety lol

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!

It's way beyond what I expected from Sucker Punch. the story script is professional. the character arcs were great. it has the most beautiful graphics in an open world game. the combat had a great feel and makes you look awesome.


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

Don't be salty, gamers had a tone of other games to chose, they chose Ghost of Tsushima.

the only reason TLOU2 "won" that thing over a week ago was because few gamers knew about the poll.

Still need to play this but it definitely looks great. Will pick it up when it's $30 (hopefully during the winter sale).
It's one of those games where early impressions and reviews made it sounds like what I feared it would be (a Ubisoft style open world), but most user impressions I've seen over these past month have been great.


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.

Yep. Maybe not exclusively people from the LGBT community but TLOU2 fans in general as a sort of "fuck the haters" vote.
Ultimately, unless someone hacked the poll or employed bots to give GOT a massive amount of fake votes I don't really see how the win isn't "legitimate". It's a player vote, people get to vote for whatever reason they want.


There is like 2 xbox exclusives on there and both are indie. ms really needs too up their game big time.

They are doing that though. They've massively expanded their first party studios.
It's just going to take time to see the results. I'd rather have them taking their time than buying new studios and forcing them to release rushed games ASAP

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.

Careful, saying you like a game would lead to a perm ban on another popular game forum.

It happened specifically because Druckmann tried to troll and spectacularly failed. He did this to himself.
