The Last of Us is my favorite game ever and GOW is my game of the gen, and i still think these comparisons are absurd. You receive an award based in a pool of candidates to receive that award. If i'm an athelete that runs 100m and my time is 10'50 segs, i'm going to win against anybody that is not a professional athlete, and i will win many races, but if a compete against professional olympic athletes i'm going to be dead last.
Game of the Year is an award that identify the best game from a selection of the games that launched in a specific year, so the game that wins can't be separted from the rest of games that don't win. GOW it's game of the year 2019 against RDR2, AC Odyssey, Spiderman, Smash Bros, etc.......but only against them, not against TW3 or BOTW. I'm not "what if" anything. What i'm saying is that the only thing that you can compare is the games that participated in the same circumstances for the GOTY in 2019. Saying GOW surpassed Zelda BOTW for the most GOTY of the gen is more entering in the "what if" scenario than my opinion, because what you're doing here is "what if we compare how many GOTY's won the game that won the most from 2019 against any other from this gen?". What i'm saying is....don't do that.
All of this only serve for curious coincidences, but this thread is called "GOW becomes the most critically awarded this gen" and that is the kind of half truth that i always rant against. In this case, even if it's against my favorite game of the year.

Yes, you did "what if" in the previous post.
Still, I stand by what I said, and it has nothing to do with which games you prefer/don't prefer. These things makes sense to be compared with games that came before them. It didn't start with God of War and it won't end with it either. My analogies are the best things to consider — Ocarina of Time's 99 MC is no less valid than God of War's 94 MC, regardless of 22 reviews vs 113.

You're comparing apples to oranges now....XD. If you want to use Ocarina of time as an example, i will use it too. MGS would have won most GOTY that year (if they tracked things like this back then) if Ocarina of Time didn't released that year or never existed. That's my point. I'm not discussing the metascore of the games. What i'm saying is that the absolute number of GOTY you receive depends on the competion. So GOW will be the same great game if it receives 113 GOTYs or 250. That number is irrelevant to me.
