I hate how people argue over micro transactions, It’s one of the only ways for companies to make money. As while they make micro transactions not pay2 win than that game really doesn’t have problems. Some games offer micro transactions only for cosmetic and wouldn’t affect the gameplay etc. Isn’t it boring without online? Hanging with friends and stuff. Err... DLCs are usually good, They are just content that doesn’t give advantage either I only agree with the micro transaction part.

@@UltimateCarDrawer567 RDR2 is probably the most detailed game in gaming still almost 5 years later. There is a reason it has over 275 Perfect Scores and 175 Game of the Year Awards.
This year was amazing for games. We shouldn’t make fun of those who lost. And those whose favourite game lost should not be angry. For we are all winners today, because as gamers we experience the best there is.
MrDVB it was only a small number of really high quality games that made up for the rest being absolute disappointments. I think 2019 will be better. Personally I'm looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077, The Outer Worlds, Metro: Exodus, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Doom: Eternal, Rage 2, Wasteland 3, Far Cry: New Dawn, Anthem, Code Vein, Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and Scorn.
SmøøthBrëêžÿ I'm on PC but I'm gonna have to get a PS4 because there's too many exclusives. I already missed out on God of War, Spider Man, and Red Dead. No reason whatsoever to buy an Xbox though because even Halo is coming to PC now.

I remember watching Cory Barlog in BTS of God of War 2 in 2009 or something He is definitely only of the goats of creativity. Ragnarok 2022 was amazing -I just loved all the realms and how things work in this game. Thank you for an incredible decade ❤
Still upsets me all these years later. A game with so much detail and time put into it, that will be remembered forever and will go down as one of the best of all time, and got snubbed for game of the year smh. RDR2 still lives on, nobody even remembers GoW

God of War is proof that you don't need overpriced dlcs and microtransactions to make a good game, one of the few new gen games that didn't ruin the gaming experience . *EDIT*: To everyone in the comments saying it's about profits, what I meant is most AAA games now have dlcs and microtrasactions, I don't mind microtransactions when it's just for cosmectics, but I hate buying a game only to be forced to buy more dlcs for the full story or even worst the full ending e.g FF15, it's ridiculous !
these comments are starting to get gay af. The majority of GOTY titles have been single-players, and there's nothing wrong with DLC or microtransactions as long as it's done tastefully. Did Zelda BOTW stop existing? Every single nominee was a singleplayer game.
@@paroxysm_brian7817 Thats probably because single player games have more developed stories, characters, and more room to appreciate the amazing soundtracks, multiplayer games like cod and fortnite are mindless and are more like a time vampire for most people.

EA never said that
tenorte they did
Dudee Nah, they said something about linear campaigns not being as popular as some years ago anymore. The whole "sp games are dying!" thing is from some Forbes journalist.

Rdr2 doesn’t need GOTY to prove how incredible it is!!!

Yup RDR2 still looks better than anything out in gaming in 2023 5 years later.

It’ll win anything, everything else is dogshit. Elden Ring is terrible
@@Mohgenstein true
It definitely deserves to win
@@Mohgenstein and elden ring won lol
😂@@Mohgenstein
This year was amazing for games. We shouldn’t make fun of those who lost. And those whose favourite game lost should not be angry. For we are all winners today, because as gamers we experience the best there is.
MrDVB it was only a small number of really high quality games that made up for the rest being absolute disappointments. I think 2019 will be better. Personally I'm looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077, The Outer Worlds, Metro: Exodus, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Doom: Eternal, Rage 2, Wasteland 3, Far Cry: New Dawn, Anthem, Code Vein, Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and Scorn.
MrDVB not Xbox player
Isaac Bruner ps4 gang so hype for 2019
SmøøthBrëêžÿ I don’t think TLOU or GOT will be next year but I’m hoping
SmøøthBrëêžÿ I'm on PC but I'm gonna have to get a PS4 because there's too many exclusives. I already missed out on God of War, Spider Man, and Red Dead. No reason whatsoever to buy an Xbox though because even Halo is coming to PC now.
EA and Microsoft: “Single Player Story Driven Games aren’t as popular these days.”
2018 Game of the Year goes to a PlayStation Exclusive game that is a Single Player Story Driven Experience.
Mic drop!

Ayup Microsoft rlly dragging ass for years now
u should say almost all 2018 GOTY nominees are Single Player Story Driven ahahaha, except for Celeste. Havent played Celste so not sure about that.
@@tanbui7569 Celeste is too, it has a good story (and it isn't a multiplayer lol)

I remember watching Cory Barlog in BTS of God of War 2 in 2009 or something
He is definitely only of the goats of creativity.
Ragnarok 2022 was amazing -I just loved all the realms and how things work in this game.

No one is talking about CELESTE, an indie game being in the GOTY against AAA games?
winning and contending is two different things
Coronavirus םֹןשתֵר But it’s amazing for Celeste to be the only indie game in the nominations against AAA games. They did not win but it’s amazing that they are contending don’t you agree?
Indeed, swimming among big fish and keeping up with them is outstanding
indie power
@@iloveseeingtheworldburn4035 No shit?
God of War is proof that you don't need overpriced dlcs and microtransactions to make a good game, one of the few new gen games that didn't ruin the gaming experience .
*EDIT*: To everyone in the comments saying it's about profits, what I meant is most AAA games now have dlcs and microtrasactions, I don't mind microtransactions when it's just for cosmectics, but I hate buying a game only to be forced to buy more dlcs for the full story or even worst the full ending e.g FF15, it's ridiculous !
DPirateKats exactly! Plus it was an exclusive only to PS4 and 100% full game when bought 😂 oh and a single player game too 🤘🏽 well deserved
@@Njello09 It is stupid how there are exclusives. Exclusives should not be a thing. But God of War was a MASTERPIECE!
DPirateKats Dark souls 3 and bloodborne also showed that
these comments are starting to get gay af. The majority of GOTY titles have been single-players, and there's nothing wrong with DLC or microtransactions as long as it's done tastefully. Did Zelda BOTW stop existing? Every single nominee was a singleplayer game.
@@paroxysm_brian7817 Thats probably because single player games have more developed stories, characters, and more room to appreciate the amazing soundtracks, multiplayer games like cod and fortnite are mindless and are more like a time vampire for most people.

GOW 4 beats RDR2 and wins GOTY in 2018
Both are masterpieces. (Franchises)
It kind of blows my mind that the sequel to both these games was 8 years in the making, respectively, and that they would both compete for the GotY award again.
