Last of us 2 getting 330 is embarrassing. It's not a timeless classic at all like elden ring will be.
Was just a bad year if it won that many in my opinion.
I think time will tell, and the sheer zeitgeist hype in the peoples minds that elden ring mustered will dwarf last of us part 2.
If some basement dweller wants to come out with " but...but...but that last of us two received over 330 game of the year awards" let them lol everyone will really know the truth deep down, including them.
Elden ring is a masterpiece and doesn't need game of the year awards to prove it.
You are out to lunch. Its a timeless classic, just like the first game was.
Elden Ring was a lot of hype at launch and a few months after. But all people really talk about now is how many GOTYs it will win. Who's discussing the boss fights? The lore? No one.
TLOU 2, the game still frequently pops up on the main page of every gaming forum on earth 2+ years after its release, people still discuss the game as if it's new. Its started debates like arguably no other game in history.
And its story has easily allowed for the most in depth discussions of video game narrative debates ever.
And thats without even mentioning the fact that people still use it as a bar for animation, facial animation. Linear level design, stealth gameplay, etc. Its a classic through and through.
