    Plenty of difficult choice here >.<

    I wanna vote Ghost of Tsushima, TloU part 2, and FF VII Remake for PS4 GotY.

    But there’s only one vote so i gave my voice for 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. This amazing game is criminally overlooked by the majority of gaming community. So i hope more people will try 13 Sentinels.

    Go The Last of Us 2 is a complete and frustrating year! 100% candidate for the worst continuation of a great game. Gritting my teeth, I reached the end to sell the disc and forget about this failure of the Naughty Dog studio. This Abby did not want to look, much less play this “character” …

    GOTY = TLOU2 (just tipping Ghost of Tsushima)

    the PlayStation Game of the Year is Ghost of Tsushima!

    The most anticipated game is The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring!

    I hope that Elden Ring will come out well and SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE 2 will be produced.

      I don’t think fromsoftware will make another Sekiro game anytime soon. They never made a sequel to Demons Souls or Bloodborne.

      I think it’s good for them to keep things fresh and keep making new games. Fromsoftware are definitely coming a huge studio now and receiving the recognition they deserve.

      I think Elden Ring will be catered for both hardcore souls players and newbies to the genre. Sometimes I like to play all fromsoftware games for there story and lore. Unfortunately for me, Sekiro was to hard for me. This will not happen with Elden Ring, because George R Martin is involved and will want everyone to experience that. This is why it will be catered for all types of players to experience the story.

      As for Zelda, I’ve yet to play any Zelda game in my life😯 I know, it’s shocking. I would love to play Breath Of The Wild, but don’t want to buy a switch.

    It’s a typo.

    The most anticipated game of 2021 is Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

    I hope in Resident Evil 8 that the player has the option to play the game in third person. With all this next gen power and all, its pretty easy to implement it.

    I’m also looking forward to Elden Ring, and the new God Of War in hopefully late next year when I decide to by a PS5. I want to buy a new TV first anyway, so no rush for PS5.

    I’ll pick up a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 next November as well. By that time, the game will be fixed. I did the same with The Witcher 3 which turned out the best game for me last generation.

    You have to be a moron to say that ghost of tsushima doesnt win GOTY. Ghost of tsushima is with out a doubt the best game ive ever played in my gaming life and has became my most favorite game. Its has the gameplay, graphics, music, art, story, and everything else an amazing game could have. And im not saying its amazing just because i like it, this game beats all the other games that came out this year in every category and there is no denying that. And no TLOU2 was absolute trash and the only other contender was cyberpunk. It would be a disappointment if GOT didnt win GOTY.

    • tsubodai226
      December 10, 2020 at 10:04 am PST

      The only moronic thing I can see here is the inability to accept different people’s points of views. You want GoT to win; that’s great, I’m really glad you love it, but accept that other people have love for a whole number of other games, and I’m not just talking about TLOU2. Learn to respect others opinions.

  • insanelydamage
    December 10, 2020 at 7:54 am PST

    People that say that TLOU2 wins GOTY are absolute jokes😂you have to be the biggest illogical moron/hater to talk down on Ghost of Tsushima.

    • tsubodai226
      December 10, 2020 at 8:34 am PST

      To want TLOU2 to win GOTY is not to talk down GoT, which is also a great game. To label those that love TLOU2 as morons is just plain daft, and to label them as haters….. Well!

    Never forget Ghost of Tsushima wins GOTY because of great developers that not being toxic to the gaming community (like Neil Druckman)

    Το the last of us part 2 για εμένα είναι φαινόμενο, η αφήγηση της ιστορίας, οι χαρακτήρες, η μουσική που το πλαισιώνει, ο τρόπος που πραγματεύεται και πλησιάζει τα πράγματα, μακάρι απλά να μπορούσα να μεταφέρω με λόγια τα συναισθήματα που με έκανε να βιώσω αυτός ο τίτλος, για εμένα το παιχνίδι της ζωής μου.

    The gaming moments were Astro and sackboy. I chose sackboy for this reason: I was playing with 2 friends, having fun in sackboy. We went in the musical level, the first part when you go up to the flower thingy I heard the music but didn’t notice yet, none of my friends did as well. Westarted sliding and when we heard the music we just started shouting. At the same time. We didn’t care what the other said we just shouted a little bit TOO loudly. The rest of the level we were just surprised more and more the more we passed by the level. The rest of the things I voted sackboy for is GOTY and best soundtrack, best art design and I voted other (sackboy a big adventure) on best accessibility features.

    I mainly voted for The Last of Us 2 (best GOTY + moment), Ghost of Tsushima (best art direction + multiplayer), Demon’s Souls (best PS5 game + music) and of course, Star Wars Squadrons as the best PSVR game of the year.

    If I would vote for TLOU2 in any category that would be the biggest copyright abusers. These were the guys who corpyright striked everyone left and right and censored everyone who (doesn’t shared any copyrighted material) just dared to talk about their game. I don’t care how woke they got but I hate authotorian censore freaks.

  • A-West815
    December 11, 2020 at 2:50 pm PST

    I have never played any of these games listed in these categories. I been playing the same few games on ps4, Callofduty, soul Calibur & streetfighter 4. Not really many good games to play, single player games aren’t fun.

    • floormat
      December 12, 2020 at 12:30 pm PST

      I understand how you feel but for me the story is the main feature. Rarely do I find a multiplayer game that’s worth playing.

    Spider-Man is a brilliant continuation of the amazing 2018 game which was my GOTY in 2018 and Miles Morales is the same for 2020. The Last of Us part 2 and Doom Eternal were amazing too and were really close to being my game of the year.

    How to get the PS5 out to true fans of PlayStation? Do you people not realize that all that is needed is for you to send a mass notification to every PlayStation Plus subscriber and give them a link to own a PS5 console. Thus by passing the hacks in the world and increase direct sales. I understand that you have vendors to contend with, but be honest, how has that worked out so far? I’ve accepted that I’ll not own a PS5 this holiday season and I’ll reassess my desire to own one afterwards. I’ll go back to PC gaming in a heartbeat to avoid this nonsense.
    I’m a rare customer. I have a well paying career, kids are grown, and not many hobbies. My main hobby is video games. I’m over 50 years old and spend way to much money on games. Now it’s up to you PlayStation, Sony, whoever makes these decisions as to whom I spend my next pile of money on.

    Really hating what you have done with the PlayStation store. Used to be able to see newly released DLC that has come out for the week. Now you can only see for about 12 games in the store. Otherwise you have to search by game from your library to see if anything has come out.

  • grislify

    This stuff never really mattered to me personally. I find certain games to be very enjoyable and better than most of the tripple A releases. GOTY and all the other nonsense rewards are a waste of time. What you love might be trash in my eyes and vice versa… It is all very subjective and thus, kinda pointless.
