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. 

It is not apples to oranges at all (and you're clearly missing how it works into the point). It isn't about the Metascores themselves. The basis for your argument is validity. That "God of War's GOTY amount can't be compared to games that came before it..... because those games saw different levels of competition, less publication GOTY awards, etc... I'm saying that it doesn't work like that and the Metascore analogy pinpoints why. 

I don't understand why Metascore has anything to do with what i'm saying to be honest. I don't see how invalidates my point at all....

This thread was about GOW surpassing BOTW as the game with most GOTY's of this gen. I never mentioned GOW not being better than BOTW because any other reason. And what i said is that it doesn't mean anything more than a curiosity number. People can find it fun, or interesting, and what i'm saying is that this comparison doesn't have any more value for me than accepting that 190 is a bigger number than 189. For me GOW did not surpassed BOTW because they didn't compete in the same race.

The game that won the most GOTY of 2018 achieved more awards than the game that won the most GOTY in 2017. There is no more meaning behind that.

But ok, people can see what they want to see. I tried to explain my point of view the best way i can. I guess you can't expect everyone seeing the same things as you.
