GoW1 (94), GoW2 (93), GoW3 (92), GoW4 (94)

See GoW4 have the same score as GoW1, that certainly means Halo 6 will have the same score as Halo 1. So they will win GOTY this year. Even if scores and GOTY doesn`t mean anything to Azzanation.

The problem with Halo is that the franchise hasn't been great since Bungie left. Given 343s track record I don't think Halo Infinite is any sort of threat in the GotY awards to The Last of Us 2

So Sony bought 80+ reviewers just as they also bought 100+ developers? They are really putting the money on playstation.

And thank god we have this sole beackon of morality in SkillUp to speak up.

If you're going to be putting words in my mouth, then I won't stop you. As long as it makes you feel any better.

Your own words challenging all the 10/10 and bringing a single reviewer as the one that should be trusted. And you also were the one saying Sony brought the reviewers.

That is only because Sony bought the reviewers to ensure they win the GOTYs.

Those are some serious allegations, I played the Last of Us and I thought it was truly the game of the previous generation. Most Naughty Dog games have been truly great. Halo 5's campaign was truly an 8/10 experience.

Don`t believe it, believe only the reviewers that gave bad scores.

Now that sarcasm is over, you entered in the middle of the discussion, I`m pretty sure TLOU2 is the strongest GOTY contender for the year. Halo may be a great release, but I don`t think it will reach TLOU2.

Please enlighten me. Where exactly did I state that they bought every single reviewer? My quote's down below.

Thanks.

All these 10/10s. Holy shit. There are only a few genuine critical reviews. It's very sad how restricted the reviews are with showing any materials to emphasize their point. Skill Up's review about the game is as close to genuine as it gets. Naughty Dog is really dead to me.

This definitely feels like it will be one of those high review scores from critics while low scores from actual players.

And what would define them as not being genuine?

To answer your question, most reviews ended up praising all the time and had less about being critical to different aspects of the game. I simply found SkillUp explaining their opinion much better than most "reviewers" did given the insane amount of restrictions Sony has put up.

And what you think of the 70 scores gave to this game?

Well I am not against low scores given, not every game is made for everyone. As long as they are not troll reviews like scoring a game a 2/10 than it might be going too far. 7/10 or even 6/10 are not bad scores, they are considered average scores so there are a few reviews that think the game is average. It comes down to your personal take, review scores are just guide lines, without the flexibility and freedom for reviewers, everyone will be just scoring games 10/10s.

GoW1 (94), GoW2 (93), GoW3 (92), GoW4 (94)

Prequel or not, many were saying the God of War franchise was getting stale and Ascensions was exactly that. Why do you think Sony revamped the franchise? because the game design was just not carrying over anymore. Games can score high and still not be in contention for GOTY. 2018, Forza Horizon 4 scored a 92 and wasn't in the overall GOTY category and placed in a sub Racing genre which it did win, however wasn't even looked at for GOTY. 

Either way the point is, if Sony companies can turn there fortunes around, same can be said for any company. Capcom turned there fortunes around with Monster Hunter, RE2 Remake and DMC5 releases and so did Santa Monica with GoW4 coming from Ascensions. Things can happen, weather it does for 343, we can only wait and see.
