I'm about halfway through GoW myself. So far, I'm loving the way the game is open world, yet every square foot is lovingly designed in an almost OoT/Metroidvania sort of way. Lowering the water level to reveal new parts of the lake is such a great mechanic.

yup, it was all pre-planned, same format has been used the last few years

Last year went pretty much how everyone expected it. I think only 2016 went in unexpected ways.

This year used the same format as last years. I was even telling someone on facebook how the ''runner up'' that was winning awards would get a concert like last year when Mario got a concert. Turned out to be true, last year Mario got a concert, BOTW won, RDR 2 getes a concert, GOW wins.

Congrats to God of War for winning game of the year.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Congrats to GOW.

Personally I think it should have also won best music. Truth be told the music from RDR2 is forgettable and the Music from GOW is going to become iconic.

I was sure about God of War, as I'm sure for next year, The Last of Us Part II :D
