Admittedly I've missed a number of the big games this year, but God if War was definitely the best I played. Well deserved.

As per usual, a Sony title wins regardless of the more stellar games.. *sigh* How could any game beat out RDR2? IMO, a completely bias voting crowd. Next year will be TLoU2.

Well, it made me laugh in the morning. Guess the videogame industry is like the football, money money money.

Well deserved considering the total package. AFAIC RDR2 could have won with better controls/gameplay/story missions.

Damn good game. Deserved.

Really thought Red Dead had it on lock, especially as it was sweeping the earlier awards.

No one would have predicted this would happen with a GoW game. Congrats. Not sure if it is my favourite game this year - it has Detroit, Spider-man and RDR 2 to contend with and I have a feeling the latter might pip it - but it is a great game. Even more important, there is a foundation there to produce an even better sequel.

Too much salt in this thread. RDR2 is a fantastic game but GOW is just a better and tighter experience. People need to get over it.

Taking the risk to try something new with and reimagine a series that would have stayed so stall if it kept the same formula while have no certitude this would work and succeeding in it is all what deserves to be praised and to get the award for. This what many are failing to understand. The award for furctuous bravery.

Upset of the night. Never expected it to happen, pretty happy for SSM and the team.

Enjoying the salt in this thread though, goddamn.

They've never won it at Geoff new TGA and the last time they won I believe it was Uncharted 2. Your crusade against them seems to be personal from your posts history.

Difficult to call really. Both are amongst the greatest games of all time, lucky to have had both in a year.

I didn't know that the person that play the BOI is in Jonah Hill's Mid90s movie.

I read through the whole thread to see if anybody picked this up, and only you did!

It was a great little moment between the two.

Pleased as punch to see God of War win.

Whilst I enjoyed playing Spider-Man more, and that Hollow Knight lingered in my memory for a long time, it is hard to deny just how brilliant the whole package is in God of War.

Seeing and hearing the axe flying back is just such a joy!

very glad about this. Red dead was the most disappointing game of the year for me, it has an overwhelming amount of miserable design choices. And the more time goes by since I finished it, the more I grow to dislike it and look back on it negatively. God of war was a very well rounded game with a strong narrative, gameplay, acting, characters and world. Theres only a few things I could point out that I disliked about it. And they would be very small nitpicks.

Well deserved. Speaking as someone who was never really a big fan of the franchise, they really knocked it out of the park.

Wouldn't have minded RDR2 winning since I looooove that game due to its story and characterization (best ever IMO). But as a complete package, God of War was a bit better so glad it got recognized for it.

I got so hyped when this won instead of RDR2. Not that I have anything against RDR2, it's just so many thought GoW would lose so I love a good upset.

Can't believe it. Red Dead Redemption 2 set a new standard for the industry, God of War is just overrated.

It's actually the reverse, while RDR2 is just a reskin of the first RDR but with better graphics, GOW totally overhaul the old formula and set a new standard for how games should be made

Well deserved.

The whole segment going back to his house to get the Blades of Chaos, the music, the lighting and colouring, the sense of foreboding followed up by getting to wreck some enemies is my favourite gaming moment of the year

Everyone should be happy after seeing this video. Even RDR2 has admitted the rightful crown and Arthur is trying to mimic Kratos. XD



Get over it BOI. You are no match for the God Of War. :p

I finished RDR2 and while it did improve drastically as it progresses God of War was for me still the best game I played this year. Well deserved.

Super happy for the studio. It had incredible opponents and still got ahead. Thank you SSM and Cory Barlog for such an incredible experience.

Well deserved. God of War has so many epic moments. I'm playing rdr2 with more than 15 hours this game looks dumb compared to the 1st. The story is really dumb. I didn't do any epic mission compared to the 1st. And sometimes rdr2 is really boring.

Good for Corey and SSM, Dad of Boi is my game of the year and personal pick for no.3 of the gen.

Too bad it's the VGA's...

It was always obviously going to be a close call between this and rdr2, to call it an upset is hyperbole lmao
