I did not know that many people were confused because of TLoU2. It seemed easy enough to follow.

There are on the other hand many reasons why people were pissed about it. Like Joel not having a bigger part in the game, or playing as somebody they hated, or running over such a short span of time that no meaningful relationships could form, or sidestories that were not well received, etc. Not saying these are my reasons.

Also, you seem to suggest that the game being obvious and people being pissed about it are mutually exclusive. I do not think so. To me, a game can easily be all three things we brought up: obvious, infuriating, and even confusing.

Why did I call it obvious (some spoilers, be warned): it was clear from the very beginning that the fireflies would be a big part of the game. How those people are designed immediately gave the impression that they are more important than your throw away goon. Also you already play as Abby in the first hour of the game. And she was the focal point of one of their biggest trailers (their marketing). Long story short: yeah, it was obvious that they were trying to paint a group of people as evil just to later reveal that they are, in fact, human, and that there is always another side to things, and that forgiving is hard, blah, blah, blah. I just had to roll my eyes so much. Really boring masseging.

And dont get me wrong. TLoU2 is in many ways a daring game. Just not at all where it would have mattered to me. I'm glad that many were able to enjoy it. 

Let's be real here, was a PC game like Alyx ever, and I mean ever going to win anything, let alone GOTY?.

It wasn't, it never would and never will, because these award shindigs are always stacked for either Sony and sometimes Nintendo or some rando third party game that just happens to hail from the land of the Rising Sun.

I always had an inkling that TLOU2 was going to win, just like how I have that same feeling a Sony game is going to win the GOTY on this very site, because it happens practically every year and nowt changes, because of how it's stacked.

Also, Death Stranding PC GOTY: ayyy L M A O. 

What you mean "on this site"? The staff or the users?

Regardless, this site has always been Nintendo land, do Sony games really win got here every year? Can you please show it to me as I find it extremely hard to believe.

Actually I recall something completely different, specially user related.

Last year was RE: 2 beating out Fire Emblem 3 Houses.

2018 was God of War beating out Smash Ultimate.

2017 was BOTW beating out Horizon Zero Dawn.

2016 was Uncharted 4 beating out Last Guardian.

2015 was Rocket League. No runner up beyond this point.

2014 was Smash Wii U.

2013 was Mario 3D World.

2012 was Journey.

2011 was Skyrim.

2010 was Mass Effect 2.

2009 was Uncharted 2.

2008 was Little Big Planet.

2007 was BioShock.

Out of 13 years, 5 Sony games, 3 Nintendo, and 5 other. Nothing really jumps out to me as questionable enough that I'd accuse anyone of bias, although I don't think Uncharted or 3D World were really GOTY worthy... although they did come out in relatively weak years. Also think that Galaxy 2 should have won over Mass Effect 2, despite how good ME 2 was, but that's just me.

5 Sony games. LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted 2, Journey (undeserved), Uncharted 4, God of War.

In the threads discussing TLOU2 it was said the game was confusing and that they needed to make the story aligned in timeline, like have all flash backs first and them alternate between Ellie and Abby first day, second day, etc, until their confrontation.

Sure obvious and pissed aren't mutually exclusive. But being confusing and obvious are a hard match.

For me it was even more obvious because from TLOU1 it was already expected that Joel would die (and Sony not talking about him until the eve of launch, was even more evidence he wouldn't be on the game and it would be the story of Ellie). Many people even guessed Ellie would discover the truth and would either kill or abandon Joel long before TLOU2 was officially confirmed (and the poster of the guitar was the last evidence they needed that Joel wouldn't be present anymore).

I don't get upset about stories being obvious because 99% of the time I get the ending in my head right with like 20-30% of the story told or less. Sure that makes me all the more happy when my expectations is subverted, hardly I get pissed that something I expected didn't happen, and even if I get a little sad a char I liked died if the reason was good for the story I accept it. And well in RL sometimes people just die without any previous signal or reason.

Regardless, Sony published it and co-developed it. It was Sony exclusive at the time it won the award. Sony published it on PS3, Vita, and PS4. It's a Sony game.
