Which is a shame because The Last of Us deserved it a lot more than GTA V did back in 2013

The Last of Us did win, it had a total of 249 awards to GTA5's 160.

Oh. Good to hear. I don't keep track of this stuff, I was just going off of the VGAs of that year? The show with Geoff Keighley... Whatever it was called...

...Whatever...

Well, it might have been the bigger success story and a game changer, but here is a representation of many of the publications that might believe otherwise. The Game Awards is not a full representation of the entire industry, as only a handful of publications are the ones who make up their awards commitee.

I already addressed "most publications" in the first paragraph. "Most publications" will make their decisions based on their own reviews, where most gave it a perfect score.

Still, it's still too early to tell if Zelda will get GOTYs. I mean, the year still have many games coming out. Just saying Zelda will get all the GOTYs this early would be unwise to say.

It broke the metacritic record for the most perfect scores of any game ever. Metacritic is the largest aggrigate of games reviews in the world. In what universe would that not be a safe assumption? Do you think it's even remotely likely that another game will get more perfect scores in the next 9 months? Are my expectations too low? Also, who ever said "all?" Most is the assumption, and it's a wise one for a game with literal record breaking critical reception.

Assuming that this is a typical year, Breath of the Wild should win it handily. But if there's another game this year that exceeds expectation in the same manner, then even better.

If we're guiding ourselves wirh Metacritic now... days ago, the game was sitting at 98 and on the top 3 on that site IIRC. Now, it's down to 97 and went down to number 15. And who knows? If Zelda got 98, what's not to say another game might get a high score too and take the GOTYs? Or what if they still get most GOTYs with a lower metascore? Like I said, at this point, it's still unwise to say Zelda will get all the GOTYs. After all, there's nine months left.

And record breaking won't necesarily equal to immediate GOTYs.

Horizon Zero Dawn is the clear choice for Game Of The Year.

So you have not played Zelda then. Horizon is a very good game but this Zelda is one of the best games of all time. So it's not even close to Zelda and by now I think you understand that.

Persona 5 is on it's way to stay above 95 on Metacritic.
As of now, It is the only game that will compete with BoTW this year...

Man, Breath of the Wild must be really affecting people that don't like Nintendo, they are freaking out all around making jab threads and trying to downplay the game on every discussion about it.

You may have missed all the ones who attack those who say anything even remotely negative about it. You know, like it happens with any game.

Interesting, though, how differently people can see things. Confirmation bias from both sides, perhaps?

Could be, but you just about HAVE to admit we have some really kick ass games here and coming to choose from this year.  2017 will be a banner year for gaming.
