God of War wins TGA's Game of the Year award!

This game really deserves it. My wife and I had just so much fun playing it, every minute was worth to be played.
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.
I teared up a bit. :')
Yep, she looked so relieved and genuinely happy for everyone. Great to see, especially knowing how long she has been involved with GOW.
Flashback from the 2013 win of TLoU vs GTA5.
Good times.
Edit: I guess it didn't win at the VGA, my bad.

Actually GTA 5 won on VGA in 2013
TLOU did won most of the GOTY awards in that year though
The Last of Us didn't win at the game awards. GTA5 did. Then The Last of Us cleaned up pretty much everywhere else...
Wow... super congrats to Cory Barlog, SSM, and Sony!
I guess we can expect this game to chart in NPD now?

Good for them, haven't really gone back into it but it was my GOTY for sure. Fantastic gameplay and a great story imo, was so scared since it was my first GoW game but I wasn't lost at all playing it. Cory was also right about the other games being masterpieces, Spidey and RDR2 are fucking amazing as well; any of them could have won and I wouldn't have had an issue.
Always happens. People who can't explain their feelings have to denigrate what they didn't prefer as much with hyperbole and exaggeration.
Boi! Surprised, but pleasantly surprises. I think RDR2 is a good game its obvious a lot of heart and soul went into creating it. BUT THOSE CONTROLS CAN NOT BE OVERLOOKED. They ruin what could be a joyous experience and make the game a chore to play. They force you to walk way too much in RDR2 and he walks VERY, VERY SLOWLY. The combat is laughably bad, half the time you cant see what youre shooting at so you just allow the auto aim to lock on to something then hail mary it when the icon turns red. The game is a grind due to its clunkiness, the fact that I still say its a good game despite that speaks to how great the other aspects are.
I would have went with Spider-Man over GoW personally, but Im very happy RDR was not rewarded for those controls (that every reviewer chose to ignore when they were handing the game 9s and above).

Lol can we not over complicate things here? Of course RDR2, and other games in the running are going to be discussed in this thread.
The Last of Us was clearly robbed,how they gave best studio to Naughty Dog but GOTY to GTA V?public voting was real time too,and The Last of Us destroyed GTA V,but don't matter,The Last of Us still swept by the end.
RDR2 is currently my GOTY, and I love it dearly. That said, I have to admit I was pulling for a GoW win. Rockstar just seemed like an unstoppable monster and it's kind of ridiculous that a Sony first party studio was set up to be the underdog in this fight, but I was definitely pulling for the little guy.
I still haven't gotten around to playing GoW yet, but from what I've seen I have no doubt I will love it a whole lot. I'm not sure it's going to top RDR2 for me, but it should be a great experience either way. I did finally get around to buying it from Black Friday but I've just got way too many games and not enough time.

You could flip the two games and your statement is on point actually.
Did I say they shouldn't be? I'm taking exception to the way they are discussed.
Much love to the Sony Santa Monica team, Playstation, and everyone who labored the blood outta their arteries for this game! After all these years... Cory's story alone is the ultimate passion punch-out. *sniff*
THOUGH...
Would've been nice for at least one shoutout to the cast as well on-stage lol..!! xP Saw Sunny and Judge and co. chilling up there..! (The latter with a fruity cool shirt in tow, btw.)
The final product's sturdy dramatic foundations were no little thanks to the stellar performances of Kratos, Atreus, Mimir, the rest of the colorful crew.
Gratz to all!

Fantastic game and well deserved! It was my first God of War game and it was an incredible experience.
RDR2 lost out Game Direction and Action Adventure to GOW.
