GOW becomes the most critically awarded exclusive this gen

[colafitte]

Comparing absolute numbers based on relative situations is the most absurd thing i've seen..

You can't compare a number based on the total of GOTY's "X game" won in a year compared to the number "Y game" won in other year, because the success of the game is relative to competition.

In other words, RDR 2 could have won 350 goty's if the competion of the year was Watch Dogs, SW Battelfront 2 and The Order 1886. And then in another year, in that same year have The Witcher III winning 115 goty's, Zelda BOTW winning 114 goty's and GOW winning 113 goty's. That wouldn't mean RDR 2 is a better game than any of those. It would be absolutely unfair to these other games that had a way harder competition to be rewarded by a GOTY.

I have this same problem when in a sport a player is considered better than other from another age because he did "better" numbers or won more titles. You can't compare that because both are not competing in the same space against the same competiton. Rules change, competition change, rivals change, expectations change.....in conclusion it'absurd.

So winning more GOTY's or having a better %s doesn't mean anything if all the games that you want to compare are not evaluated in the exact same circumstances.
