Now this is quite a surprising opinion.  Can you elaborate on your confusion with Part 1?

Well they were out of touch when death stranding didn't win game of year. That's because they were scared of the backlash due to people crying " walking simulator".  If they don't care about some backlash, tlou2 would easily win it, and almost every category it fits into to. 

And all the divisiviness is about one silly aspect. So certainly on the whole pack haven't launch a better game this year, and I say that having enjoyed and thinking it was much prettier and funnier Ghost of Tsushima.

And I don't see any reason they wouldn't give the GOTY to the, by far, best game of this year, that's right now is TLoU2.

I see.  Aside from your assessment of the surgeon (what was his name in Pt. II again?) & Marlene, I can agree with your recounting of events.  For starters, there's just no way Marlene would've said everything's even stevens if she was allowed to live; that's not how this world operates, especially for the leader of the Fireflies seeing her group turn to rubble from one man.

I appreciate the perspective, but what's funny is everything you're retelling is what I love about it.

These points illustrate why I think The Last of Us Part II deserves to win Game of the Year awards and would in a more just world than we likely have. Whether you loved this game or hated it, the fact is that it's the most discussed game of 2020. It currently has more than 72,000 favorable user reviews on Metacritic -- the most of any game in history by far -- and also 62,000 negative user reviews on MC -- also the most of any game so far in history by far. Switch over to the user reviews for any other major game released this year, be it Ghost of Tsushima, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the Final Fantasy VII remake, or even Paper Mario: The Origami King, or try and talk about Cyberpunk 2077 on the internet and you'll find yourself pointed to comparisons to The Last of Us Part II. Is the game selling better than The Last of Us Part II? Is its average user score higher than that of The Last of Us Part II? Are there philosophical design similarities to The Last of Us Part II? People care, passionately! Every game now exists relative to this one. How many other games' review prediction threads have wound up getting over 1,000 posts here?

POINT: Whether you loved it or hated it (and if the user scores are to believed, you probably did love it or hate it; not many people had mixed feelings), you can't dispute that it's the most impactful game of the year; the one people care about the most one way or the other. That's a real argument for Game of the Year status in its own right, I think, because its a real measure of this game's unique cultural power.

Joel shouldn't have killed the surgeon period, at all. It was selfish and he didn't take into consideration his family and so on. And as for Marlene, he should have just left her and dealt with her later if she was to come back for him. But to me it was pretty low of Joel to finish her like that. From their perspective they had a cause of a cure, it's not like she was bad. Joel could have fought her like a man if she managed to get to them some time in the future, but he ended her life like that, just didn't seem right to me. 

The way it happened fits with Joel's character it would have been out of character to have let marlene live, in TLOUS even his own brother had cut ties with him over his dog eat dog no matter the consequence attitude and even bill when talking about owing Joel a favor said or what you would  beat me up and take it anyway, so here was a man who had been emotionally closed off since his daughters death and now Tess who seemed to be the only one to have any kind of bond with him is also dead. finally has Ellie break that barrier down, so you see a man using all that single minded ruthlessness honed over twenty years  to protect Ellies life, btw didn't the head surgeon attack Joel with a scalpel? .

I understand what you're saying, but still, Joel putting on the heroic act throughout the game then doing what he did in the end was upsetting. The surgeon was holding the scalpel in self defense. Joel didn't have to kill, he could have taken ellie while not killing him. Then came that about ending that wasn't concluded, I was starring at the screen like noooooo.
