I actually think Yuri Lowenthal should've won, but he wasn't even nominated, incredibly good Spidey. Last year in general was exceptional for excellent VA.

BAFTA Awards 2019 (UPDATE: God of War wins Best Game)
- Thread starter SuikerBrood
- Start date
Ignoring the fact that God of War 2018 is completely different to the prior games, thus no where near close to being "the same thing over and over again", this post is pretty damn ironic considering your GOTY is NieR Automata and you've been championing RDR2 as well, both games that are arguably less innovative than God of War. Hell God of War's single one shot camera, the retractable axe and all its unique gameplay, physics and puzzle related aspects, the level design of Midgard, the overall combat style and its visceral up close nature, its all pretty innovative or fresh.

Which is incredible stupid. The RDR2 and GoW are amazing games that I was incredible thankful to enjoy this/last year. Both were more than deserving to win the award.
Man the expectations for GOW2 are going to be insane. I hope they take their time with it instead of rushing to have it ready for PS5's launch.
This forum is massively biased against RDR2. Don't even bother.
valid criticism of the game is of course appropriate
but its when people go
"its just the honeymoon phase" or "critics are starting to see the truth that its not a great game" or "sales don't mean quality" despite the fact that it won 130 GOTY awards, way passed the so called honeymoon phase. It's the idea that we,fans, don't see the "truth"
Since the year before it. God of War's sweep is pretty much perfect, though. It's not even losing against RDR2 in arenas that weigh technical ambition and competency more than other GOTY contests. GoW has that quality blend.

Can someone help me understand how FH4 wins best British game, beats out RDR2 for that, but then doesn't get nominated for Best Game?
Is it just different committees nominating autonomously?
Is it just different committees nominating autonomously?
User warned: System warring.
which is interesting to think if RDR 2 was a sony exclusive, if we would see the same rhetoric
Getting nominated for best British game is easier than GOTY since you're only competing with British games.
Edit: actually now looking at it it doesn't make sense.
I really, really don't agree with this one. Most of his performance was pretty good, granted, but I keep hearing the "I FEEL NOTHING!" over and over and over and it's a garbage line reading. To even include him in the category with Judge or Clark is patently absurd. And not even a nomination for Yuri Lowenthal as Spider-Man? What even is this?
Congrats to GOW on another GOTY. I'm still squarely in the RDR2 camp, but God of War is a superb game that's absolutely deserving of the recognition it's getting.
Yeah, it's pretty funny (and the vice versa scenario, of course). I loved both God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2. The reactions making it seem like one will erase out of existence if the other succeeds shows how little the community has moved past immaturity. I would call it childish, but I'm not sure I want to disparage young people for idiotic behavior like this.
I find the fact that people get so attached to a video game that they get angry when it doesn't win something very strange.
It does seem like that, but maybe its a reaction to the success of Rockstar's games. its a sort of "i don't like it, how is this popular?"
i mean you can't tell me that there might be a kernel of truth to that
TLoU, HZD, Uncharted 4 (especially) have all had mixed receptions by this community, it's nothing new, some people just don't get the praise or can't get over the flaws, which RDR2 has plenty.
but none of those games have received the hyperbolic "criticism" that RDR 2 has got over the last couple months.
Can wee have the title changed to:
(UPDATE: God of War dangerously wins Best Game)
I honestly think its more like some people have finally realized that R* games tend to be a tad overhyped. Basically there are things other open world games have done way better than RDR2 (*cough*Odyssey*cough*) but it got a pass because its a R* game. And because RDR2 gets rewarded with crazy high scores and huge sales numbers, what will force R* to improve and innovate if they see that their games are critically acclaimed. BTW I thought RDR2 was amazing in story and open world but flawed in gameplay.
GOW is basically the underdog by changing up the standard gameplay set by previous GOW games. The game and the dev had more to loose if it failed to live up to the hype and thus they are getting rewarded for being risk takers.
I jumped into this thread at page 5 and was wondering why the hell so many people were writing "dangerous," so I donned my detective cap and traced the word back to its source.
YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKES.
YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKES.
They wouldn't want one of the most successful game companies ever?...... Sony would give up Naughty Dog in a heartbeat if it meant they could get Rockstar
Yuri Lowenthal at the end of Spider-Man was downright incredible.
BAFTAs have plenty of surprise or less-than-popular winners too. I am a bit surprised that RDR2 didn't win something, and that GOW won the top, when there have been other non-conventional Best Game winners in the past.
It wouldn't have been any different as the issues people had with the game still would be there.
It's not only Sony fans that have problems with RDR 2 tho.
but that's not true.. Rockstar doesn't get a "pass" its because
A. it doesn't bother the critics that much and
B. the full package is still a masterpiece that the individual problem does not discredit the game
and the cycle begins anew. strap in, everybody.
you may notice that every single person here who was a NeoGAF poster during the month of March 2017, has already strapped in. Have them help you put yours on.
That's not what you said. You said if RDR2 was a Playstation exclusive. Not that if Sony owned Rockstar, what...
