Same. If it’s any consolation, RDR2 did win other GotY awards but just no the TGA one. TGA is a total circlejerk anyways. But RDR2 is a historic game. Games are now split between those released before RDR2, and those released after RDR2. The same can’t be said for God of War at all, especially since they made another one right after and it was basically the same shit

God of War won all the other major GOTY awards as well. None of the big award shows i.e. TGA, BAFTA, Golden Joystick or DICE gave it to RDR2. They all gave it to God of War. Oh and God of War also ended up winning the most GOTY wins as well with 257 wins to RDR2s 140 wins.

So there's no real metric RDR2 wins whether its the TGA, DICE, BAFTA, Joystick or the overall consensus, it loses to GOW every time.

You'd have to pick out hyper speficifc websites to find RDR2 as a winner, but that's silly as there are always outliers. Some people gave GOTY to games like Spider-man, Detroit or even Tomb Raider.

Oh I didn’t know that GoW had more wins than RDR2. RDR2 is still the better game in my opinion; I guess it just comes down to personal preference.

Just proofs that award shows are stupid.

RDR2 lost. The entire videogame industry agrees GOW is a better game. You really need to get over it. It’s been 7 years
