I for one am shocked that a game about a middle aged man going through dad based angst appeals to a bunch of middle aged men running a magazine.
Wow, what's happening? I wasn't expecting TLoU vs. GTA V again.
Pretty interesting site as far as "consensus" picks go with a few studios seeming to dominate the industry.
Out of the 15 years with a consensus top pick, Naughty Dog and Bethesda have 3 top games of the year. Bioware right behind with 2 and SO close to 3 with ME2 and RDR being a dead heat.
Nobody else has more than one, including Rockstar.

Nice! For quite sometime i want to know the most awarded games
Top 5
1. Witcher 3 - 257
2. The Last of Us - 249
3. Skyrim - 227
4. Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 189
5. Uncharted 4 - 165
GOW and RDR2 both fantastic and GOTYS.... anyone of them gets the title is fine by me.
Im not surprised. RDR is multiplat. GoW isn't. Those other fans wont be voting for a game they can't play.
Kratos is not a middle-aged man. He's an immortal and probably well over 1000 years old during the events of that game.
97 on MC and 17+ million copies sold. Why should they bother?I hope that rockstar will learn from this why their game design is flawed and what needs to be improved
Rockstar are always aiming for the top. They can do much less and still stay at this sales and score, which means they are trying to win goty as hard as they can. I just hope that this makes them understand why they did not win.
That list order would mean more if the number of outlets didn't vary so much between years.Nice! For quite sometime i want to know the most awarded games

The post that everyone was responding to was hardly a productive or constructive piece of criticism.All this "salt" shit is lame and needs to stop. That's all anyone on this fucking forum can say when someone has a passionate opinion that opposes their own. It kills productive conversation and is very high school.
GUESS IM JUST BEING SALTY LULZ!!!!!!!!!

You realize I predicted your response in the last sentence of my post, right?You realize this comment is almost the definition of being salty right?

God Of War was phenomenal, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best, and most important video games ever created. It sets a new and astonishing standard for world building, transcendent verisimilitude, and is a true work of art.
God Of War won because it was the crowd pleaser equivalent of an Oscar winning movie losing to something far more important, well written, and requiring of a more patient and mature mind to appreciate.
Shit happens.
Even Cory knows deep in his heart that Red Dead was clearly, remarkably better.

Rockstar went backwards bully has better combat than rdr2 lolI hope that rockstar will learn from this why their game design is flawed and what needs to be improved, because hopefully they now understand a little better that immersion shouldnt be the top focus of the game and instead design the game around being fun, i definitely believe that if there is one developer that can make an amazingly impressive open world that is also super fun to play it would be rockstar, they just need to make some better design decisions for the overall fun.
Well in anyway god of war is my GotG so i am so happy to see it get so much recognition. Totally deserved
Of course you would say this LOLAll this "salt" shit is lame and needs to stop. That's all anyone on this fucking forum can say when someone has a passionate opinion that opposes their own. It kills productive conversation and is very high school.

For whatever reason God of War is really bringing out entire warehouses worth of salt.
Top 6 in order is basically where I'm at except I haven't played Assassin's Creed.
What's the opposite of salt? Where people actually get what they want but shit on the other game anyway? Been a lot of that going on too. The whole thing seems odd and a lot more fanatical than usual.
Having said that, congrats to the team again. I've haven't played either game and out of the 2 GOW is the only one that I want to play.
The Last of Us also won public voting,The Last of Us was clearly robbed.Rockstar's GTAV won GOTY at the VGAs though. Naughty Dog won studio of the year at the same show. lol
I mean being serious, there's been more people running into threads like these downplaying the fact that GoW won over RDR2 than vice versa. At the end of the day, it was two good games, but only one could be Highlander. GoW was that pick.

I think it would be better to look at percentage winners since different years have different number of total awards. So number of awards won by game X/number of total awards given to any game that year x 100. This would tell us which games was the most celebrated compared to other gotys from different years.
That list order would mean more if the number of outlets didn't vary so much between years.
