Do we have a reason why Red Dead actually deserves all the accolades? I'm not hating, I just don't think it was actually that good.

Cause its a masterpiece. Sorry you don't see it that way.
 
Best Role Playing Game

Monster Hunter World

Odd choice. Not really an RPG more of a action game.
 
Stanley Parable coming to us console peasants. I heard it wad a great game.

Lol that was a funny trailer.
 
For the life of me I can't wrap my head around why you have always given so much love and attention to the most corporate, commercialized game awards ceremony in the industry. It's not like that unwanted influence doesn't already show up even at the DICE & Game Developers Choice Awards. It's a second tier awards show, and it's one giant advertisement for the games that need it least. Originally, the whole point of awards ceremonies in the media industry was to draw attention to excellence that tended to be overlooked commercially, or at a minimum didn't enjoy the level of success it deserved.

After all, how freaking stupid is a game ceremony that will name the 2018 GOTY before 2018 is even over?

I'll wait until the DICE and GDC roll out in February/March 2019 after the year has actually concluded, and gamers have had time to process the late releases.

Bye. Mr. Killjoy.

Pretty cool to see Shawn, Reggie and Phil on all the stage together lol..
 
Best Narrative

Red Dead Redemption 2

The first on many awards. Loved Arthurs arc.
 
So Ultimate Alliance 3 is on the Switch exclusively? That's a pretty good get. Unless it's just a timed exclusive. *shrugs*
 
My dreams were just realised and then crushed with that Ultimate Alliance 3 announcement. I guess I now need to get a Switch.
 
Best narrative for me was GOW.. amazing story, bosses, gameplay, setting, scenery, feelings, atmosphere, ride and journey.

I enjoy RDR2, but I would not give it a 10/10, like GOW. I would give it a 9/10.

GOW should get best soundtrack, best scenery, best story and GOTY imo.

But, of course, this is alllllll subjective
 
Best Narrative

Red Dead Redemption 2

The first on many awards. Loved Arthurs arc.

It beat Detroit: Become Human? a game literally about the narrative? Red Dead had a pretty bland narrative I don't know why people think the story was great. The game itself looked great and the world felt reasonably alive but the story was predictable and shit.
 
Greatness awaits with PS4, true true. No question to what the better console is
