Wow that Orchestra absolutely stole the show. Mixing the theme songs like that was masterful. I love how the composer of God of War, Bear Mcreary, was there too to witness them integrate his music into their performance.

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?
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.
I agree it should have won because of its creation. Gow has great graphics , gameplay and so on. But story, not that great. But rdr2 c'mon 🔥 , it's from another universe.
After watching the Raising Kratos documentary, this makes me tear up. Imagine taking a leap of faith of re-inventing the series. All the hard work, sacrifices made, became worth it. And this award was just the cherry on top to reaffirm its greatness.
@@audaciouspert1772 RDR2?? You mean that game with the "Go from A to B, and shoot people." gameplay formula? That one?? In that sense, it has more in common with The Last of Us than GoW. RDR2 is still great in spite of that, just like GTA5. But GoW4 is the more complete game. I doubt you even played it to know that. It actually has more in common with Dark Souls than TLoU.
I know this is old but, man I just finished God of War and I must say this game deserves it. This is what you get for making games with passion, care, and with the best of your ability, instead cash-grabbing gimmick. Some companies can learn from GOW's devs *sP gAmeS aRe DEaD"
People saying that God of War sucks are just as ignorant as people saying RDR2 isn't that good, they are both masterpieces and both were worked on really hard, so if you aren't satisfied please just show some respect.
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.
@@asmit4166 Yeah, all orchestras were great (except Monster Hunter World, I found it only ok), but I found that the electric guitars were out of place sometimes
xKarma _ True, I prefer RDR2 but GOW deserves it because their game is much more polished and doesn’t include an online that’s fueled by micro transactions
Austin Shepperd Try playing RDO if you have it. In the first day you’ll see that everything is overpriced and it’s a constant grind for money. I’ve been playing for a week since it was out for the public on Friday and I’ve been grinding more than actually having fun. Rockstar already said there is going to be micro transactions and the economy is terrible which is just going to encourage people to pay for in game money because they dont want to grind. I shit you not there’s shirts that are level 60 and once you get to level 60 it still costs 30-40 dollars
GoW4 winning the award is a victory of true gamers. No controversies, no 10 ultimate editions, no lootboxes, no xp throttling, no forced diversity. Just pure joy, and that is what gaming should be about.
Here after watching "raising the Kratos" documentary. This is so satisfying to watch after seeing the things they sacrificed just to get this game to us, they truly deserved GOTY
Ahsanul there was a video shortly after GoW was released showing Cory crying when he saw the positive reviews for the game. That really hit me and it really showed me how much the GoW team sacrificed to make it a reality.
I didn’t play god of war, 1st I played spider man, I said “that’s game of the year no doubt” then I played red dead 2 and said “no that’s game of the year” then I thought how good must god of war have been to beat those 2 games, insane
@@whatif7351It’s very unlikely TLOU2 will be nominated or will win. That game has had to much controversy. I’m glad you enjoyed the game tho cause not many people like it(including myself).👌
@@el_martinez3275 The controversy doesn't matter at all, I mean, look at the critics reviews, Game Awards doesn't really take people opinions, that explain pretty much why overwatch won over uncharted 4
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.
So glad God of War win, it's an undoubtedly proof that a game with great storytelling, graphics, sound and immersive gameplay is still what gamers needed without any microtrans, loot boxes and any other BS that greedy company put on this industry. And yes single player is not DEAD!
Agree, God Of War was a complete package (and still they patched in NG+ and new armour pieces just as a fan service !!) Long Live Single Player Games !
I agree with you. No bullshit microtransactions and lootboxes. The team of God of War give all their dedication in this game. Congratulations God of War.
And now 4 years later, Ragnarok is upon us and it back for its GOTY award with its staggering 10 nominations this year! Wonderful game and the team deserves all the praise for the game they created this time around
@@Kagetora- And you were right, Elden Ring is an amazing game and it ended up winning! I was okay with either game winning since both coming out in the same year is a win for gamers
Fans of Red Dead just Chill what happened to your loyalty to Rockstar? Rockstar Still has a Plan Have FAITH in them have you forgotten that they still have GTA Bully Max Payne Red Dead But they need more time, Rockstar needs More Time. Don't Doubt Rockstar Also Congrats to GOW for winning GOTY
RDR2 was awesome. But Take Two's greed made it's online mode awful. So yeah, God of war has no microtransactions at all. Meanwhile RDR2 does Still love both of them but GOW is the game of this generation
Whenever a game gets nominated for game of the year I consider them all winners bcuz all those games r fantastic Edit: Yea.. this comment can sound stupid when u think about it
All of these big, multi-million dollar businesses in these titles, and it's so inspiring that Celeste, an indie game from a small group of developers, made into one of the strongest competitors for this award. It shows that you don't need a big corporation to make something so exemplary and outstanding. Press F to pay respects to probably the best indie game we'll ever have.
@@rombick2006 GoW has the perfect balance of gameplay, story and graphics. RDR2 suffers major in gameplay and is slow and boring and focuses too much around the dead eye system. Also RDR2 has a greedy online just like GTA V.
God of war is one of the best game I've ever played, But RDR2 deserves the award. Rdr 2 is too much! Exceeded all my expectations! Rockstar games at its finest
@@automaticpinionWinning an award is meaningless in the long run. I’m sure the devs don’t care as long as the fans enjoyed them. They’re wildly beloved game that had massive heart, no need to diss one to praise another.

I so totally love GoW. It definitely has GOTY material and it deserved it, but man RDR2 is just built different.
I agree it should have won because of its creation. Gow has great graphics , gameplay and so on. But story, not that great. But rdr2 c'mon 🔥 , it's from another universe.
After watching the Raising Kratos documentary, this makes me tear up. Imagine taking a leap of faith of re-inventing the series. All the hard work, sacrifices made, became worth it. And this award was just the cherry on top to reaffirm its greatness.

rdr2 took 7 years to be made into an absolute masterpiece. Gow is trash in general. A stupid Last of Us using Norse gods.
@@audaciouspert1772 mf called gow trash 💀
@@audaciouspert1772 RDR2?? You mean that game with the "Go from A to B, and shoot people." gameplay formula? That one?? In that sense, it has more in common with The Last of Us than GoW.

Austin Shepperd Try playing RDO if you have it. In the first day you’ll see that everything is overpriced and it’s a constant grind for money. I’ve been playing for a week since it was out for the public on Friday and I’ve been grinding more than actually having fun. Rockstar already said there is going to be micro transactions and the economy is terrible which is just going to encourage people to pay for in game money because they dont want to grind. I shit you not there’s shirts that are level 60 and once you get to level 60 it still costs 30-40 dollars
GoW4 winning the award is a victory of true gamers. No controversies, no 10 ultimate editions, no lootboxes, no xp throttling, no forced diversity. Just pure joy, and that is what gaming should be about.

So glad God of War win, it's an undoubtedly proof that a game with great storytelling, graphics, sound and immersive gameplay is still what gamers needed without any microtrans, loot boxes and any other BS that greedy company put on this industry. And yes single player is not DEAD!
Agree, God Of War was a complete package (and still they patched in NG+ and new armour pieces just as a fan service !!) Long Live Single Player Games !
