The Game Awards Player's Choice Game Is Down To Five Titles, With A Clear Frontrunner

The Last of US Part II winning GOTY. What's next, water is wet and humans breathe air?

I can't believe I'm saying this but justice prevail for once! Neil Druckmann and his media goon squads have been squashed after Neil shamelessly and publicly pleaded votes for his trash. Ghost of Tsushima is player's choice 2020 and it's well deserved!

Gamespot must be so proud when they wrote this article lmao.

Funny how EVERY SINGLE page with this awards mentioned link to TLoU 2. It has become such an blatantly pro-TLoU2 rigged thing that it should be disregarded in its entirety. Sad, cuz I do believe it must have been at least a solid 7-8 game, but unfortunately the industry pours hundreds of thousands of dollars into the reviewing community, and this is what we get... :/

I would say Ghost or Animal Crossing based off the feedback I got first-hand.

Ghost for me, but as they say "there's no accounting for peoples' taste" (or lack thereof hehe)...

And Ghost of Tsushima is now leading by a lot 43% to 34 % .

Rightfully so since it was an amazing game that told a tragic and beautiful story.

Sadly none of those games really did it for me at the end of the day.

LOL obv rigged, no self respecting human being would vote for TLOU2 to be GOTY, so desperate LMAO.

My Hades votes goes to Tsushima instead then

I want Hades to win as much as everyone...but there's literally no path to victory for it with the time remaining and the votes already tallied.

I recommend everyone jump ship to Ghosts of Tsushima to make sure TLoU2 doesn't steal it.

*Spoilers*

I don’t get why TLOU2 gets so much attention, the game is good but never a contender for GOTY in my opinion.

The game was good up until half way in to Abby’s campaign, after that I just felt it was a chore to finish the game.

Then playing with Ellie in California was absolutely tedious and the game had over stayed its welcome.

The game looks gorgeous and naughtydog did a great job with the setting, the music is pretty nice but the story did feel a bit overhyped. The story has it’s good moments but it doesn’t deliver moments like the giraffes from the first game even though it tried.

I don’t think i’ll go back to TLOU2, I didn’t enjoy it too much.

My pic for GOTY is hades hands down. Funny enough it’s a game where you’re stuck doing the same thing over and over. Characters are very well written, weapons feel satisfying, the music is just great, the art is very nice and it’s a very deep game.

Trying to escape and being able to get the gods you want on your side is very satisfying and if things aren’t as good then you can always upgrade something and try again and again. The sense of progression keeps me coming back even after escaping and I want to know much more about some characters. I could praise Hades all day long, i found a new love for roguelike games.

Every single person on the whole planet knew that TLOU2 will get the award, why act surprised? Haven't you paid attention to western entertainment and politics in the last 5 years?

So how much did they spend in bribes to get the last of us 2 in there? I'm generally curious

I don't get why people like TLoU Part 2 so much. That game has some of the worst pacing I have ever seen. It wastes so much of your time going from point a to point b with very little combat or interesting gameplay. Just walk and sometimes move a box or use a rope. The original game managed to balance the story and gameplay segments way better in a way that kept me riveted. I quit playing Part 2 7 hours in because I was bored and it didn't seem like it was going to change up the structure. And if it does then it should have done it sooner. Shame too because you can tell a lot of talented people poured their hearts into this project.

Not a surprising list but I have to ask why there is still such blind hate for The last of us ?

Spoilers

Is it the fact that jole was killed ? If thats the case how could you not see that coming ? A sequel to the first game with the same character's again would have been a terrible direction for the game . Even worse then what some might think is already the worst.

Was it who killed him ? If that is the case who would have done it? Any one else killing him would have felt cheap.now If you were fine with who did it but not the way the characters looked well thats a personal preference and you can have that . Id just say if you are able to get passed that there is actually a very good game there.

Was it the way he died ? I mean personally for as fucked as it was I thought it was perfect for the story to play out the way it did.

Let's not forget he was a terrible person his actions throughout the first game were pretty bad . He even eluded to some of what he'd done before his mission. So honestly with in this game world his death fits .

Personally I thought the story was great the environments were super cool one of my favorite parts was the section before you got the bow and arrow. Reading all the little notes and stuff about the nabiours how they fucked him over but he got them as well and then you end up in the courtyard only to see the 3 nabiours as clickers in his backyard only to then end up fighting him. I fucken dug that.

Also the surprise work bench scean and when you realize those people were not related to anything other then just trying to get buy . So fucking good

The combat was like butter it just played so nice little detailes like throughing shit through a window. Sure its simple but the sound to the glass breaking the way the glass broke it impressive

Sure some things were a bit heavy handed and It went on a little longer then it could have but honestly this game was fantastic and if you can get passed some of the more let's say social issues and look at it for what it is at its core a video game well id say you'd be pretty hard up to find a better one this year .

Oh No... Anyway Cyberbunk 2077 is releasing on the 10th. Calender marked and gaming rig ready to rock n roll.

Where's Bugsnax? What kind of dog and pony show is this?

Why the hell Miles Morales on the list?

At first I was confused by this, but then I realized that this must actually be a Worst Game of the Year Awards, it's the only logical explanation of how The Last of Us 2 could possibly be in the lead.

Yeah, it doesn't explain what those other games are doing on the list, but then again... I guess Ghosts of Tsushima was kind of unoriginal, DOOM Eternal did have an awful lot of forced platforming for a First Person Shooter, Hades is just a mashup of Diablo/Castlevania, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales is overpriced. So if you really nitpick the details like mainstream reviewers so often do for attention, then I suppose it makes sense.

Regardless, TLOU2 definitely deserves the Worst Game of the Year 2020 Award. Gotta work on those typos GameSpot, they happen way too often, and when you miss an important word it can completely change the meaning of the article in the eyes of viewers.
