Show as good for what is was but I preferred last years show. I can't comment on the winners mainly last of us 2 and ghost of tsushima as I have played them yet(damn ps4 controller stopped working the day I bought em both) I'll say tho my favorite game I played this yr was Ori and the Will of Wisp but I don't think it was nominated for anything

The only personal takeaway I got from this show was that the awards and talking segments were like unskippable ads between reveals.

Like I said in the other thread, Xbox and PS have different narratives. Xbox is the scrappy underdog that needs the marketshare boost. PS is the leader aggressively tightening their grip on their marketshare. Xbox is therefore more sympathetic :)

And lol ya, but in this particular context I wasn’t gonna post on the LOU 2 goty thread to not cause trouble. But this thread is another story if someone displays hubris. 

Alternatively, they really should take away that 10% voting power the audience has in the future. Giving audiences any voting power is a joke in my eyes.

I bought Animal Crossing for my wife, I have barely played it, less than 20 hours. My wife has played more than one thousand hours. The game is so full and with a lot of new content pretty much every month. And let's not talk about the sales because they have been beyond terrific. Animal Crossing is not my cup of tea, but it deserved its nomination and maybe even the award. It has been such a massive social movement intrinsic with this year. 2020 helped AC to be the success it is, but AC made 2020 have a huge improvement in social life for literal tenths of million of people. 

Just finished watching all the trailers and gameplays, interesting games and updates all around. I think it would be nice if, after the main event, they released some sort of fancy summary containing just the new annoucements and updates on existing games, for those who aren't interested in the rest of the show. But that'd make The Game Awards lose its essence, I guess.

I'se seem more hubris from people hating TLOU2 than bragging about it in this thread.

For the same reason the audience dont vote for the Oscars or the Grammys but they do for the MTV VMAs. 
But more importantly, because of things like this: 

Frequently I feel critics miss a thing or two, at times its just details, at times they drop the ball and I dont agree with the reception a game gets, but I can understand where they are coming from because theres quality behind a product. When it comes to audiences, Satan is more reliable. 

Well it’s a divisive game. It split its own community in half with the treatment of Ellie and Joel. And then you have people who didn’t like the left wing aspects in general. That’s on Druckman imo. 

Is the actual goty thread different at least? I didn’t go there but I assume it’s more positive in its dedicated area.

Okay everyone, I've officially imported these results into the The Game Awards - All Time Leaderboard thread, enjoy! Until next year!
