God of Awards

[bluefox755]

Currenty GOTY tally:
God of War - 172
RDR2 - 122
Gotta say, I'm a bit surprised after gaming media fawned over RDR2, along with the fact that it's multiplat, I thought R* had it in the bag. I think God of War absolutely deserves it though. One of the best games I've played in years.

[YodaCracker]

RDR2 is already the highest rated and fastest selling game of the generation. God of War deserves the recognition.

[S2Killinit]

Are you sure RDR is highest rated? Pretty sure its not.

[Alexious]

They're both amazing games.

[ClayRules2012]

Agreed. Love them both.

[chiefJohn117]

$ony gonna make sure

[fluxmulder]

According to Gotylist.com :
RDR2 - 171
GOW - 160

[MrVux000]

Never herd of that one.

Most people use the "GOTY Picks Blogspot" site.

[MrVux000]

I was not surprised at all TBH.
As soon as i read some reviews, all the 10s while still being critiqued heavily on gameplay, bugs and terribly paced story and predictable ending...along with playing the game... i knew this will be another GTAV vs TLOU scenario.

[Bronxs15]

Really? I thought the writing in god of war was pretty good. BOY!

[badz149]

apparently not as good as Dutch's "I have a plan!"

[Forn]

Yeah, that got old. "Just one more score!"

[stupidusername]

That’s the whole reason he said it though. It got old and it was a sign of him losing his shit never knowing when enough is enough.

[nucky64]

oh, geez - how i grew SICK of "i have a plan" or "i just need some time" or "you have to trust me" - dutch just kept repeating this drivel over and over.
edit - at Forn, yea that too but he didn't overuse that line as much as the 3 above.

[goldwyncq]

Indeed.

That repeated line represents Dutch's desperation and descent into madness and becomes very meaningful if you've played the first game.

[MrVux000]

Arhtur: *Donates thousands of dollars to camp funds*
Dutch: "We need more moneh....and some goddamn faith Arthur!"

Made me laugh every damn time ;D

[TheSinsibleOne]

"I gave you all I had Dutch" ;-(

[Profchaos]

It was but so was rdr2 there can be more than one good game this year

[Thundercat77]

Amazing achievement. Not only the game is a masterpiece but the story of the studio and how Sony supported and believed in them is inspiring.

[ccgr]

Still have to play both games :\

[Hardiman]

Hopefully the success of GOW shows companies that even with an aged property you can still be relevant and successful if you just put quality above all else. Don't be afraid to take chances and allow talented people to be creative.

I can't say enough great things about it because it's my game of the gen! Bravo and well deserved on the winners.

[badz149]

Nintendo doesn't care though. they just add "NEW" or "DELUXE" to old games now and sell them for full $60 and call it a day. their fans love it!

[Traecy]

God of War deserves it!!

[ThanatosDMC]

BOI!!!!

[cellfluid]

Greatness

[AK91]

Impressive NY very impressive.

[AmUnRa]
