Look at it objectively. It's quite reasonable for everybody here to hate the atrocious writing of the game, but writing is not gameplay. The committee who decides which games take the award are made up of representatives from various studios who prioritize technical innovation, and the game certainly has it, down to character animations, combat, movement, and gore, to name a few. You want to bitch about Druckmann accepting the award? Good. Well and valid, because he should not have had the honor going up there to claim that statue. If anyone should have, it should be Wasim Khan(?) or Erik Pangilinan, lead technical director and art director respectively. They made the game great and fun to play, and their efforts deserved the win. It's just wrong that the writers looked to be deserving of the credit as well.
GAME of the Year, not STORY of the Year
But it won best narrative of the year user
And it deserved to
The gameplay is near identical to tlou1. The story is why all you faggots like tlou2.
This
Oh well then whoever chose them for that category are absolute morons when it comes to storytelling. It would actually be understandable if its the same committee, seeing as it's not their forte to judge narrative works.
do you really expect me to believe the game by the guy who said fun isnt important for games won based on its gameplay?
>he fell for Zig Forums meme headlines
Druckmann believed it, not the staff. Fun does not mainly come from writing when it's videogames. It mainly comes from how the game works.
Look, user, if I wanted to play a PS3 game, I would play a PS3 game.
Did you find another video game story was better? I doubt it, I can't even recall another video game story from this year, they're usually so forgettable.
It won best narrative too you retard.
If the award is based on gameplay then DOOM or Hades should have won.
There's dozens of other games released this year that has better story than the mess that is tlou2 but it doesn't really matter if i list them because in typical Zig Forums fashion, you'll call them shit even if you knew nothing about them
I've never played these games. I've heard people say that this is supposed to be a game set in the apocalypse with monsters. Judging by the coverage and news about it, I would have had no idea.
the writing isn't even that bad either, you faggots just cried way too hard about this game that no one took you seriously in the end
it's your fault this shit got as far as it did and you just sit here and cope
>There's dozens of other games released this year that has better story than the mess that is tlou2 but it doesn't really matter if
stopped reading right there
if you're not gonna list any why should anyone listen to you, loser
choke on a dick tranny
You cant even name one. Stop talking out your ass.
Isnt the gameplay of tlou2 literally
>Enter room
>pickup every collectible on every shelf in sight
>Move to next room
>Repeat until finding enemies
>Simple cover shooter with a few different enemies, not many option for how to progress: you're forced to clear out enemies and cant do ghost/stealth runs
>In between action segments you have the chance to craft health pickups and upgrade your weapons with the collectibles you found before
Thats it. Thats the gameplay. Thats as deep as it gets. How does that win game of the year
Actually it won both.
It won narrative, too
>dozens of games this year that are better story wise
>but I'm not gonna list any of them!
based retard
Literally even nioh 2 had better story than tlou2
>atrocious writing of the game
Nah
Story is an aspect of the Game.
Sorry faggot, every part of TLoU2 is utter shit with the arguable exception of graphics and that cringy category of "accessibility innovation" (it did have a lot of handicap options). It is not fun to play nor does it want to be. TLoU2 is a game that truly hates the player, made by people who truly hate gamers, and in a sane world all the press would ridicule and shame it.
What they did with dynamic facial expressions in this game was absolutely insane. And it was all pretty much just one guy looking to push himself.
Zig Forums will try to cope, but TLOU 2 deserved GOTY.
This is what I've been saying the whole time.
Still legit liked the story, and the voice acting was phenomenal. Nice to see a game take risks for a change.
Cope and dilate, faggot. Your opinion is shit. Stay mad.
im not playing a game where the main character is a faggot
It was some of the best, if not the best, facial animations I've ever seen in a game.
Any talented animator can set that up how do you think they do thanos and all other gay shit you watch?
too close to home huh?
If it deserved graphics awards (I think it did) then give it graphics awards. Why did it get 6 different awards, and one of them being "Best overall game of the year".
It saddens me that people are so used to lapping up bland, creatively-bankrupt Ubisoft stories that they take it as a personal offense when someone dares to try something even remotely different. Frankly, I don't blame developers for hating people who play games. You morons eat shit and you deserve shit.
Honestly?
Sorta.
The writing was god awful, but the voice acting, graphics, presentation, and overall gameplay was good
>Overall gameplay
What overall gameplay
Its babies first cover shooter with a handful of different weapons
>Noooo ghost of the shima is better!!!
So ‘the committee’ is infallible when it’s something you agree with and retarded when it’s something you don’t? If you’re going to be a retard at least be consistent.
Nigga the game is almost up to par with MP3, GZ and V, with better AI. Fuck off, it literally makes playing any other TPS feel draconian.
>facial expressions
>best overall game
Want to know why your opinion is retarded?
The AI in this game is really good. It’s not just another TPS because TPS skills barely carry over at all. TLOU2 has a skill set very unique to itself.
If you didn’t experience this you probably should’ve bumped up the difficulty.
Playing any third person shooter is draconian. Including this overhyped garbage.
>unskippable cutscenes
>best narrative
Yeah, nah. Go fuck yourself
Is that skill set anally pleasuring yourself?
Obsessed
Just go jerk it to sissy porn and get it out of your system.
Frankly speaking, a game that is only 24 hours long, of which much of that is cut scenes, should not be winning game of the year. That's hardly a fucking game at all. Game of the year should be an incredible game that has a large amount of high quality content, and if by chance there really is no such game in a given year then they simply shouldn't give out the award at all. Breath of the Wild 2 will come out next year with 150 hours of real high quality gameplay and the fact it has to share the award with this mediocre movie game is a joke.
OP confirmed to not have played Doom:Eternal, nor Hades.
> technical innovation
wow third person movie such creative much invention
I agree with you, Nioh 2 had very little story but I still enjoyed it more than TLOU2's
