I usually am not one to care about this stuff, but what the actual hell was that? Who did Naughty Dog and Sony feed caviar and 70 year-old Japanese Whisky to so that TLOU2, a game half the people hated because of what they did to the characters of the last game and its former main character (no spoilers please) and gameplay wise, just looked like any other Third Person Shooter. It looked like an Uncharted lite to me, with less than interesting characters to boot.
Also best game direction!? Seriously!? After one of the developers literally broke the glass and stated how we was worked over time and underpaid along with a few other anon workers!? Come on, man. Shame on The Game Awards for even giving it that.
Also best sound design? Are you kidding me? What the hell is with these critics?
Also yes, it is critics. If this were the ACTUAL Player's Choice Awards, Ghost of Tsushima would have won, and a LOT of categories would be looking WAY different than what was shown. It even says on their website. Who the hell are these critics and why do they like their steak well done?
For real, this is one of the biggest yearly events in gaming (sadly), and for it to be so... aristocratic in a medium that believes in merit as success... it baffles me. As a lover of video games, as a consumer, and as an indie dev... this is straight bullshit to me.

Games Made Under Crunch Conditions Don’t Deserve ‘Best Direction’ Awards
Last night, The Last of Us Part II walked away from The Game Awards with seven trophies, including those for Game of the Year, Best Narrative, Best Audio Design, Best Performance (by Laura Bailey as Abby), Innovation in Accessibility, and Best Action/Adventure. Arguments can be made as to...

I went in for the new reveals and walked away with Sephiroth as new smash character and a perfect dark game. I am pleased with that.
