Death Stranding isn’t a Sony game, it’s a multiplat game that the fans threw a hissy fit over when it was announced as a multiplat. Misleading article.

@PSfan4Life22 yeah... that doesn’t mean it’s better.

Might as well have called it from the beginning, we knew this disappointment would win.

@andreoni79 Why does it always have to be about nostalgia if something is well-reviewed, maybe you just don’t like it as much.

@jmac1686 My man. That’s exactly what I’m doing.

@mwatcher Switch wins then?

@Cornaboyzzz Could’ve been the best but CDPR released an unfinished game & they thought they’d be spared by the people who put them on a pedestal for no reason.

@ApostateMage yet you love Cyberpunk lol

It’s a re-release of a 2016 game. Why is it nominated for anything?

We already know it’ll be The Last of Us Part II. No need to keep anyone in suspense.

The only good thing about The Witcher is it’s story. The gameplay is trashy as hell & standards must be low if that’s what people consider to be the greatest.

@NoFaceBigFoot Good take, but edit the comment while you have a chance before they start calling you bigots and other political terms. :/

Ghost, FF7R, and Doom Eternal. I’ll give a shout-out to 13 Sentinels too. Those games were the only ones worth playing this year.

@Taylorzombie Sorry, what did you say? I was playing the official game of the decade.

CD Projekt Red is gonna need a senzu for this one.

@Cheems I think they revealed it too early. I hear it’s fine on next-gen systems.

I’m not surprised. Given how clunky the Witcher 3’s gameplay was, I had a feeling CDPR was going to screw up with this one in some way. They put more focus into implementing features to make it a 90+ Metacritic game (their exact words) than testing it like crazy to make sure everything worked properly.

@Kelrics90 That’s the same question I had. A user on this very topic said I would only have a problem with a game if I was around far-right people. That comment proved a point & it’s also why I won’t list my reasons for disliking the game because they’ll fall on deaf ears.

I had a feeling CDPR was going to eff this one up. Not having a third person option is another blow.

@Mittsu If you want to see what happened go on Twitter & see what the people said before you say I’m overreacting.

@TG16_IS_BAE Lol no thanks.

@JoeyTS You still aren’t getting it so I don’t even know why you’re arguing at this point. Bottom line is Game Awards don’t matter to everyone for one reason or another.

Hey if you didn’t care about what I said you would’ve stopped after I said what I said, you can’t let go of someone not liking that flavorless crap that they have the nerve to call a game. Yet here you are. Um... what factual statement? The Last of Us Part II isn’t a good game or that TGA don’t matter to everyone? Eh, I don’t care anymore.

If only I could find one.

@Gaming365247 Royal is the definitive version. But it depends on how much time you have in the real world. Both are about 100 hours or 70.

I really want the game but I might wait for a sale. I’m burnt out on warriors games but I will get this at some point. Gotta take a break from certain genres so they’ll feel fresh.

@Mittsu It was a deleted tweet a few days ago where he said something along the lines of “another vote means less caps lock for haters”. Or something like that. You’ll see that most people who didn’t like the game for reasons that have nothing to do with politics are labeled haters & a lot of people flamed him for that.

@JoeyTS Actually, I know what you’re saying but I also have a lot of examples of people saying the GOTY award matters to fit their agenda. I guarantee you if any other game besides TLOU won you’d see that energy here again. You’re not understanding that for some people the awards are only legit to them when their favorite game wins. The argument of whether TGA matters or not fluctuates each year. I can almost guarantee you if Animal Crossing would have won you’d see claims of Nintendo bias and paid awards. I have so many examples but you won’t understand so I won’t bother.

You’re still missing the point of you arguing over the game with me. I said what I said about the game and you wanted to keep going instead of just dealing with the fact that I don’t think it was worthy. Just because a poorly written game by a mediocre studio wins an award doesn’t mean everyone agrees with it. It was undeserving for so many reasons.

@NDL08 I come off as hateful because of one game & because I call it how I see it. Gotta love how you and everyone else here focuses on the Naughty Dog comments instead of seeing what else I offered to the discussions. Either way I’m still getting 6-8 hours of sleep.

@dark_knightmare2 It’s almost embarrassing because the creator himself said the game was going to be very divisive. People disliked the game for reasons that had nothing to do with politics. I fail to understand why so many ND fans don’t see that.

I forgot about this one but I’m excited to play it

@NDL08 Before that it was months ago & my warnings have nothing to do with the discussion.

@JoeyTS Oh one year TGA matters and the next year it doesn’t. Let’s not talk about the legitimacy of the game awards. The only time it matters is if someone’s preferred game wins. Let me talk about the years for a second. Back in 2017 when Breath of the Wild won game of the year all you saw some people say was
“it’s just a popularity contest”
“The awards don’t matter”
“The awards were paid off”

Fast forward to next year when God of War wins you then see that same crowd say,
“Truly deserving”
“The only GOTY ceremony/award that matters”
When previously, people were whining about Red Dead Redemption II leading the categories and sweeping a lot of awards & calling it paid until GoW won at the end of the night. It happened with death stranding the following year.

The reasons I don’t think it should’ve won outside of the studio have to do with the game itself, but I didn’t bother stating those reasons because I’m going to be called a bigot, homophobe, racist, etc. the moment I say something critical about the game. Clearly you do have a problem because I said The Last of Us Part II & amazing don’t belong in the same sentence and said “I said what I said” & you wanted to continue to argue when you should’ve just left it alone.

@NDL08 Why do my warnings matter all of a sudden? I must be living in your head if you’re going through the trouble of looking at comments I made months ago, which have nothing to do with the discussion.

@JoeyTS Quit spamming that. & regardless of where it wins, The Last of Us Part II isn’t a good game to me for many reasons. I’m not sure about a lot of people because the game was very divisive.

@NDL08 If you don’t like what I have to say the ignore button is right there. I got warned for some things, all of which I have since taken special care not to do while also expressing my opinion.

@JoeyTS It’s not an amazing game to me. Also the award for Game of the Year is chosen by journalists. Users can vote too (there are thousands), but their votes don’t really count for much when about 80 (correct me if I’m wrong) journalists are the ones who really decide. I’d say the players voice better represents what the people think

@BNAG_Gamer Don’t post spoilers dude, and people dislike the game for other reasons.

@JoeyTS Well I said what I said.

@NDL08 Not agreeing with a GOTY choice doesn’t make someone hateful. I’m enjoying life a lot, just didn’t enjoy The Last of Us Part II a lot. Actually, not at all.

@JoeyTS Amazing and The Last of Us II don’t belong in the same sentence if you ask me.

@Arugula Bingo.

@jmac1686 Give me a box of tissues please

@NDL08 Well of course they’re not. They’re a company. They don’t care who does and doesn’t respect them as long as they get paid.

@Max2574 You’re trying to cover up for them by using CDPR to change the subject. what they’re doing isn’t okay either & if you really want to know, I’m not a fan of theirs. The Witcher 3 was the worst RPG I’ve played & I was never excited for Cyberpunk. Also every studio does not use crunch. Hades & Animal Crossing New Horizons both had measures taken to avoid crunch hours. They’re done. Back on topic.

He is co-president of a big game company & should carry himself as such. You don’t take digs at your fans who didn’t like your game & if you’re going to address a specific group of people you do it in a professional manner. Calling people haters isn’t the way to do it.

Game of the year? Not at all. It deserved best accessibility and that’s about it. Apart from the issues the game has, Naughty Dog’s actions should invalidate them from getting such an award.

@themightyant The director calling people haters (even though some had valid criticisms about the game), crunch culture, DMCA, hypocritical censorship policies.

@Max2574 I’m not talking about other devs, I’m talking about Naughty Dog.

@Max2574 There’s no salt here, lol. Naughty Dog’s actions this year made me lose any respect I had for them, then the director (won’t say his name) made that childish tweet.

@Orpheus79V Besides Evil Dead (I was excited for Back 4 Blood), those are the exact same games I was excited for. After those three the awards fell short.

@nessisonett Remember when you said I should be banned because I wasn’t adding anything to the discussion? You aren’t adding anything to the discussion either, hypocrite.
