Fuck Yeah Cory! But, I am extra happy for Shannon Studstill. She has given a lot for this studio. I still remember from behind the scenes of original God of War, how Jaffee asked for an extension and she took the news to Shu and basically put her job on the line because Shu pretty much gave her an ultimatum that the game better be good. She had in fact left the studio at one point, but Shu asked her to come back after brought her back after shipping Allan Becker to Japan. Of course, it hasn't been smooth sailing since then, but this one she and the studio deserved.
Well fuckin' deserved. Arguably the richest and most well-rounded game I've played this year and easily one of the best of this generation (and certainly, ever). Not my personal GOTY but it is really, really, really close. Red Dead Redemption 2 would also be a worthy winner (as it is a whooper experience) but from all the nominees, it had to be GoW. Believed it would be the winner and here it is. The Best Game Direction was the turning point. From that moment on, the winner was chosen, so as to say.
Congrats, Cory! You deserve it!

Honestly the rewards were handed out correctly , red deads soundtrack and story are incredible but it's gameplay is seriously lacking. God of war is overall just a much better package the story is great soundtrack is epic and the gameplay is tons of fun and fluid unlike red dead . Both games are fantastic as are were all the nominees.
I find it weak, the whole game boils down to setting up the camp at one point, doing some missions until you steal the city closer, the mission is unsuccessful and they have to flee and find a new place, repeat this in all 6 chapters , very predictable from start to finish,the game drags a lot,also chapter 5 is a joke.The writing does not run too far from Rockstar's standard.The game is just much bigger and has more dialogues than other R* games,that is it.
IGN is in the bag,like all podcast I saw,God of War is unanimous.I think takes Gamespot too.
lol yeah

I was honestly thinking the same, Red Dead would sweep going off the review scores and media hype, I'm glad GOW won not just because I loved the game and it's my personal GOTY but the actual gameplay and more specifically the combat in Red Dead was pretty lackluster, goes from good, to serviceable to even bad at times, never a game I would consider having excellent combat or control over your character, whereas GOW had an amazing combat system that kept me playing and still wanting to play more.
I wouldn't say Red Dead gameplay is horrible as I still get enjoyment from it but yeah, everything else can be great but if one of the major aspects if not the main, the actual gameplay, isn't all too good then it can't be in the conversation for GOTY for me.
