I knew there was going to be a topic about this VGChartz, just because Bayonetta 2 scored well and is a Wii U exclusive doesn't mean it deserves GOTY.

That means the same for every other game by definition.

 

Replace Bayo 2 with a Sony title, replace it with exclusive and scored well and you've got the same shoe size, one that fits all, then by what you say no other game deserves to be GOTY.

@Chazore

Your reasoning is not valid in terms of logic. The statement that Ali_16x made is saying that those specific factors are not definitive reasons for a game (in this case, Bayonetta 2) deserving GOTY. However, other factors like how large the game was (DAI was way bigger than B2), what audience the game impacted (B2 is known as a niche title that might not appease nearly as many people as DAI) may have played into the decision.

In no way does that imply that no other game deserves to be GOTY. It's just that those specific factors (even for a Sony title) may not instantly determine that that game is GOTY. BUT other factors might have been weighed. At least that's what I got from the statement...and studying logic at an undergraduate level.
