Game of the Year: The Last of Us Part II

I'm really curious to know who the new smash character is, despite not playing smash bros for the past few months (and not even trying out steve yet)

 

[Alexander1970]

Really better,Cyberpunk is not nominated...the Game did not deserves todays bad Ju-Ju.....

 

[AkiraKurusu]

Yeah, there's just not much singleplayer content in Ultimate. Brawl had the most, and best, singleplayer content in my book; maybe they could bring back its Classic and All-Star Modes? Also Subspace Emissary > World of Light any day.
I just hope the new character isn't trash, like the ARMS girl.

I'd also hate to see the piece of garbage called "Last of Us 2" win any prizes. That game in particular can go die a horrible fiery death. Ghost of Tsushima is a much better game in EVERY conceivable way, with Persona 5 Royal also being a fantastic 2020 release.

 

[the_randomizer]

Just hope it doesn't suck balls like last years "presentation"

Oh, you haven't seen the news through social networks ? Basically, "the Ghost of Tsushima devs have been co-opted by alt-right nazis promoting their game only to trash on the masterpiece that is TLOU2". Which actually is shameful for all the people who actually loved Ghost of Tsushima for the good game it is, since it basically says they can't like the game they supported without being considered as alt-right nazis.

Oh, wait, social networks. Go figure.

I very, very, VERY highly doubt you have even ever played TLOU2.

 

[breaktemp]

So AS-Gunvolt for Smash ?
Time to bust out the pop-corn !

 

[the_randomizer]

FFVII Remake best OST of the year. Good.

 

[Xzi]

Really better,Cyberpunk is not nominated...the Game did not deserves todays bad Ju-Ju.....

It's not eligible for awards for 2020, only 2021 because of the December release.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

So far I'll take both Sea of Solitude Directors Cut and Shady Part of Me.

 

[relauby]

I'm digging this hard-rocking version of Last Surprise. This is great.

 

[RobXcore]

I'm calling it, Sora for Smash.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

I very, very, VERY highly doubt you have even ever played TLOU2.

Seen reviews and enough footage of the game; don't need to buy and play a game to know it's been politicised and overhyped.
The original TLoU really should have remained a standalone story; didn't need a sequel that killed Joel or introduced an unlikeable villainous tomboy or a boring final fight or anything.

As for gameplay, it didn't change too much from the original, and it's only open for the first part of the game.

I much prefer Persona 5 Royal and Ghost of Tsushima since they have actual interesting characters and stories, along with enjoyable gameplay, and have not been politicised to hell and back. Persona 4 Golden's Steam release was a nice surprise too, and while it's not as fun as P5R, it's still a great 2020 release.

 

[Big Man Tyrone2]

SEPHIROTH? WHAT THE FUCK? WHO EXPECTED THIS?

 

[Justinde75]

WHAT IS HAPPENING
THEY ARE STARTING OFF WITH THIS

 

[the_randomizer]

That...is nucking futs

 

[Big Man Tyrone2]

So... FF7R on Switch? Please?

 

[MarkDarkness]

Sephiroth in Smash is actually POG!

 

[Stealphie]

Phoenix Wright isn't the DLC character...
