What do you guys think of the winners?I agree with everything except for TLOU 2 winning the Best Visual Design. Should have gone for Ghost of Tsushima easily. It’s the best thing about the game.

What does visual design mean exactly? TLOU2 was run of the mill post-apocalypse visually, in my opinion. Nothing we haven't seen a thousand times before but this time with extreme fidelity.
As said above, Tshusima looked beautiful. The character designs in Hade are incredible.

Ghosts not getting a look in is pretty dissapointing. It was my personal favourite game of 2020
You know you're kind of old when you've been home all year and still played none of these 
Wasn't TLOU2 heavily criticized for it's storytelling?
By a bunch of no marks who couldn’t handle it! Don’t @ me!
Just kidding
I loved it personally but it wasn’t for everyone.December doesn't exist according to these guys? There's only the small matter of one of the most anticipated games in years still arriving.
December games will be in next years awards
Mostly by angry nerds I think.
Having said that, I've played it for 2 hours and it's been collecting virtual dust in my psn library.
Hades shouldve won this. It's brilliant.
Fair enough. A little weird though, if they're calling it 2020 awards, would just make more sense to do it in January.
Hades is a great game, and I don't normally like that genre because I'm shite.
Crash Bandicoot 4 is probably the best looking game on the PS4 I've seen recently. Though I gather the more realistic settings of certain games gains more praise nowadays, unfortunately.
It won the Critic's Choice award, so that counts for something.
TLOU2 was probably the best game I’ve ever played. I experienced such a whirlwind of emotions from playing it and after finishing it, it remained on my mind. I was really blown away.
Shame GOT came out the same year as I think that’s my second favourite game after TLOU2. It deserves its recognition.

Surprised Ghost didn't get some sort of recognition, also shocked Last of Us received so many awards.
Hades is still my GoTY.

Are you telling me that Ghost of Tsushima didn't win a single award of any kind? GTFOHWTB.
Last of Us 2 is overrated. It should not be getting that many awards.
Thats so wanky
