| Azzanation said: Correct. It all comes down to competition at the time. Mario Odyssey would have cleaned up awards too if it didn't release next to one of the greatest Zelda games ever made. This is why i don't care about awards anymore. |
With the way the GOTY awards show runs, and how people on here and elsewhere see it as the "official" end all to be all of awards, it just makes awards in general pretty pointless and worth peanuts when it's built this way.
I can almost guarantee those championing this one game, will be next in line to go against some other game in the near future, when it goes to topple TLOU II, and even then, some will try to save face by trying to excuse their sudden shift in viewpoint by saying "oh it deserved to win", instead of looking at it's actual merits an value to the industry.
This is why in the VGC awards thread, I was going on about how normies and casual folk only truly care about the "big shiny".
