The Last of Us 2 has been named the Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2020.

In a video following the announcement, Neil Druckmann, the game's creative director and lead co-writer, told fans that "I'm not going to lie, this is pretty sweet. It's amazing to be in the company of such amazing games," expressing Naughty Dogs' love for "every single other game on this list."

He went on to say that "I could not be prouder of this game and the team that put it together, and how we lifted each other up when we needed to," and that "I especially want to give a shout out to Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey, who killed it in more ways than one as Ellie and Abby. The game would not be what it is without your guys' contributions, your amazing performances." Finally, Druckmann issued his tanks to "every single fan that voted for us. This being a fan award, you have no idea what it means to me and the team, and we will keep working hard to make you proud."

The award marks the end of an outstanding night for Naughty Dog, which claimed the title of Best Studio along with four further awards (Best Audio, Best Storytelling, Best Visual Design, and PlayStation Game of the Year), making it one of the most successful Golden Joystick Awards winners of all time.

My thoughts:
While the Metacritic rating of TLOU 2 is 93% and the audience rating is somehow 58% (according to the Google user statistics), it seems to be conflicted that between critics and consumers alike have been mingling each other with opposite thoughts and impressions. It's really quite confusing for me to choose either of each side, but for me, I think TLOU 2 is fairly a fair game (sorry for the redundancy btw) for me with a rating of 6.5/10 due to convoluted flow of chronological narrative. It's really hard for me to distinguish every character of TLOU 2 are worthwhile because
.

However, despite all the controversy during the fresh release of the game, I will still give Naughty Dog a round of applause for creating such a beautiful game... at least in the first game tho.

Well deserved honestly.

It's sad to see so much hate towards the game despite majority not even having touched the game or already had their minds set after some leaks came out.

If you'd actually played the game you'd understand what the game was trying to portray and see it for the masterpiece it is.

I understand some of the criticisms like the length of the game in certain portions but to disregard its story not even knowing what it's about, just a shame.

It's a pretty good game and the low audience rating is to be expected as people made judgements before it was even released and still had a somewhat misogynist view due to Abbey's character design.

Personally I think Ghost of Tsushima should have won though.

The game was review-bombed, user scores are meaningless. The average PS4 exclusive has 13k reviews. TloU 2 has 140k despite being out for like 3 months.

From what I've heard they easily fool and kill the main character of the first game, which was apparently quite careful, and then the game proceeds to shove down your throat that "violence and revenge is bad" whilst not giving you any alternatives, thus making the message feel undeserved.

I can see why fans were disappointed.

I dont know if you've played the game yourself but this is the exact copy and paste I see flying around everywhere.
The story isn't just about "violence and revenge bad", actually playing the game and finishing it and not listening to echo chambers shows you it's much more.

Wasn't a fan of the first game cause of rehashed gameplay mechanics, and a story line that seemed to grasp at trying to be special by being subvertive. So no intent on playing this game even with this endorsement by the non-casual gaming community (who I believe voted this game mainly)

Yeah, no. People didn't like it because the story was ass. Had very little to do with "misogyny".

Also, the fanboying in this thread is hilarious. The game deserves the hate it gets, and whining about review bombing and saying "mOsT pEoPlE lIkEd It" isn't going to change that.

I've seen quite a lot of reviews on the game and a lot of them were very against Abbey and included some choice words that are not worth repeating.

I'm certainly not fanboying the game. I said it was pretty good, not great just pretty good. I just like to be a voice of reason between the I love it and I hate it crowd. I'm also not whining, I'm pointing out that pre-existing dislike for the game is simply fact.

The people hating on it for sexist or misogynistic reasons are in the extreme minority. Most people hate Abby because she's a terribly written character. Also, wasn't referring to you with the fanboying bit.

not Hades or doom enteral? bruh....

i'm not saying the last of us is bad or anything, but it doesn't seem GoTY material when you compare it to the replayability and just hour of fun doom eternal and Hades have.

@Bernrika

true, but i still find it odd that doom eternal didn't get it. but i guess it's because Last of Us also appeals to the non hardcore crowd.

Yeah, suuure. It's just a coincidence that most of this thread who is hating on the game "casually" align with the most right wing members and "casually" they complain about propaganda and SJW. This includes you of course.

Also, the fanboying in this thread is hilarious. The game deserves the hate it gets,

People have sent death threats and harassed pretty much every member of the staff involved in this, no they don't "deserve" the hate


and whining about review bombing and saying "mOsT pEoPlE lIkEd It" isn't going to change that.

? Going to change what? The game sold pretty well (Despite what conspiracy theories and people who don't understand sales tell you), has one of the highest completion rates for PS4 games and even won a fan voted online award now (despite people claim it was entirely hated)

Stop seething, this game seem to live rent free in his haters' heads.

Man, you sure do love your "muh right-wingers" conspiracy theory bullshit. The vast majority of the people who hate the game hate it for legitimate reasons. Get the fuck over it.

Never said death threats were deserved and they weren't even the type of hate I meant in the first place.

It sold well because ND and Sony fanboys will literally eat up anything they put out. They don't care about quality.

The entire gaming industry was against it, not just your self-insert "alt-right".

This is obvious by taking a look at meta critic and seeing the glaring disparity between "reviewers" and the actual userbase.

I'm glad I didn't buy the 1st game of The Last Of Us, and so is the sequel too. I'm in no loss here.

Anyway, about Metacritic, gamers' rate matter, because they're the only honest ones. Besides, they're the target that games to be sold for them. Critics' reviews are questionable ones yet in the same time reliable. It depends on what game-critic, game-reviewer are we talking about.

Angry Joe
Skill Up
Robin Gaming

etc

Those reviewers at sites, I don't look for them. Let's say Witcher 3 for example. I rather look at gamers opinions at sites like Metacritic rather than some official Metacritic reviewer. Whether they say something positive or negative, that matters not to me.

I also look at the gameplay on YouTube (I don't mind/care about spoilers), the games' mechanics, the story and where it goes. Does the game also feature microtransactions?

The Last Of Us series is not my cup of tea. Not fan of it.

I avoided A LOT of bad games thanks to people like the YouTubers I mentioned

Anthem
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Marvel Avengers
Fallout 76
Evolve

so so many bad games I avoided. I'm glad I'm old.

@ArabianLuffy actually evolve was pretty good when it went free to play and got rid of all the cash grab stuff. had a lot of fun with it before it closed down. it was a good game, but ruined by bad marketing. if they just did the smart thing and made it a simple 60$ game it would probably be still around right now.

No last of us never featured micro transaction to my knowlege.

@Aboar

the anti-sjw reactionaries became what they hate they are now the annoying guys everyone attributes to SJW's.

@Cneq

anyone can make a doze or so alt acc on meta critic and review bomb a game. you know just like what happens to anime on MAL.

also i think you can stop lying through your teeth here when literally multiple people have pointed out joysticks GoTY isn't decided by reviewers but by fan vote.

"winners voted in by the British general public" you can literally google how joystick GoTY works

@Bernrika

the get woke go broke movement was doomed form the beginning because it also ensured that it would cause people to buy the game because people were telling them not to. i.e streisand effect.

But maybe we should look the the thousand of meta-critic review who purely bash the game for being "SJW"? Or the video by youtube grifters who claim it "Got woke go broke"?

I'm glad I didn't buy the 1st game of The Last Of Us, and so is the sequel too. I'm in no loss here.

Anyway, about Metacritic, gamers' rate matter, because they're the only honest ones. Besides, they're the target that games to be sold for them. Critics' reviews are questionable ones yet in the same time reliable. It depends on what game-critic, game-reviewer are we talking about.

Angry Joe
Skill Up
Robin Gaming

etc

Those reviewers at sites, I don't look for them. Let's say Witcher 3 for example. I rather look at gamers opinions at sites like Metacritic rather than some official Metacritic reviewer. Whether they say something positive or negative, that matters not to me.

I also look at the gameplay on YouTube (I don't mind/care about spoilers), the games' mechanics, the story and where it goes. Does the game also feature microtransactions?

The Last Of Us series is not my cup of tea. Not fan of it.

I avoided A LOT of bad games thanks to people like the YouTubers I mentioned

Anthem
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Marvel Avengers
Fallout 76
Evolve

so so many bad games I avoided. I'm glad I'm old.


Anthem had so much potential to be a good game. To bad piece of shit ea made it.

They are working on a revamp of it. Kind of like no man's sky. Although it is ea so im not holding out hope

oh well won't be reaching it in a while still have to complete the first trail of cold steel game currently on Chapter 2 but will probably be put on haitus when cyberpunk 2077 comes out. i also got side tracked by hades for obvious reasons.

@ArabianLuffy actually evolve was pretty good when it went free to play and got rid of all the cash grab stuff. had a lot of fun with it before it closed down. it was a good game, but ruined by bad marketing. if they just did the smart thing and made it a simple 60$ game it would probably be still around right now.

No last of us never featured micro transaction to my knowlege.

Lmao since you're going to go for the whole "hur durr google how joystick works"

How about you google The Last of Us 2 review bombing and you would realize this already happened and ALL of them were removed, and guess what? Still a 5.2 it was down to like a 3.2 before at launch.

I find it ironic people somehow find a way to make hating an objectively poorly designed game both in gameplay and narrative some type of political issue and if you hate or support the game it somehow puts you on whatever spectrum you're opposed to. Incredible.

""winners voted in by the British general public" you can literally google how joystick GoTY works"

Do you even know how mathematics work mate? Imagine the sample pool of "the british public" that have the ability to go out of their way to vote for a video game in the midst of 2020 mayhem. News flash, a SMALL ass number lmao

The majority of NORMAL PEOPLE don't even have time to review anything, let alone go the extra-mile for a specific award, just look at how many people own steam games but still never review them. Yet here we have meta critic, the most populated and well known site for review scores in the industry and would you like at that, a 5.7.

I know that The Last Of Us series are monetization/micro free. It's just that the game doesn't interest me. I know that TLOU1 was and still praised to this day. As for TLOU2, well that's a whole other issue. I've seen spoilers, and it added more insult to the injury. Like... damn! Really? Too early to die.

Microtransaction, God this is such a long term to type. We're gonna use the acronym MTX. (I got it from YongYea)

I'm pretty sure that BioWare threw the towel. There have been no news for like almost a year I believe. If anything interest me from EA, it's only Need For Speed, but there is one big problem. Frostbite.

A shame this garbage got the award, there were so many games miles better than this pile of crap that came out this year. I'm not surprised though. Also, stfu with this stupid crap of calling everyone who dislikes the game "alt-right", not everyone who like's your garbage game is a nazi.
