Wondering how localized Hades was and how many other countries got to play it? But yeah, this could explain some of the disparity.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.
And TLOU2 seems to be performing much better than Hades overseas as I thought. Interestingly, many of the US sites giving it to TLOU2 seem to be quite small and I’ve never heard of most of them. Update: Here’s a site that tracks GOTYs from outlets, and it has TLOU2 getting a lot more than Hades overall. Just an odd phenomenon I wanted to highlight, as I keep seeing more and more awards given out, and more and more going to Hades. But just looking at the actual awards being given out here, it really does seem like the Game Awards aside, Hades may be the “true” Game of the Year based on how many outlets have awarded it that prize. I hate that Tsushima became a sort of “protest vote” for fans trying to knock down TLOU2, as I think both games are amazing. I loved The Last of Us, and my personal top three this year were Tsushima, Hades and TLOU2. It has been revealed that Sony has shown off some brand new footage of The Last of Us Part II (stylized as The Last of Us 2) behind closed doors at this year’s GameStop Convention. I am not trying to take anything away from TLOU2 here and I am absolutely not suggesting any sort of conspiracy, I’m just making an observation I found curious. just preordered this today when i went to pick up my preorder from march. I’m not clear on if this is how TGA votes, I’m going to ask Geoff Keighley. I see that EB Games has two of the 4 gamestop exclusive playstation pops, but Joel is not one of them. Finally, in a ranked choice voting system, that can propel a game to win if it has more overall rankings than another, even if those rankings are not necessarily #1.
10% of the vote is also supposed to be popular vote, and I can see more people voting TLOU2 over Hades, in part because many, many more people played it. We also don’t know if this was just razor close and possibly decided by a few votes because TGA doesn’t release those margins (as award shows don’t). I have not tracked every international site that also votes in the Game Awards jury, but it’s possible The Last of Us fared better overseas than Hades, which could have made up some votes. And Hades has significantly more #1 spots, while The Last of Us Part II is GOTY for only a single major gaming outlet, Game Informer, while its two other wins are in non-gaming specific publications, EW and Empire (Hades also won Time’s GOTY, and I mean, I write for Forbes, so I’m not discounting the opinion of non-gaming outlets). Some sites don’t seem to crown overall games of the year (Kotaku), but these are most of the major gaming and entertainment sites that do bestow this award.
