Game of The Year is going to be between GTA V and The Last of Us.

It'll probably go to GTA V as it is a multiplatform title. But then again it's just got so much Awesome.

hankmoody4299d ago

As good as The Last of Us was, I think what it's sorely lacking is replay value. I loved it, I thought it was a fantastic game but when I beat it, I simply had no desire to go back to it. I'd like to at some point but just not right now.

GTA V gives you quite a bit of bang for your dollar. And that's without the online component.

"I think what it's sorely lacking is replay value. I loved it,"

I understand exactly what you mean but that restriction would rule out a large percentage of games ever made!

Einhert4299d ago

I'm going to get all kinds of flak for saying this but I don't think a restrictive linear closed in game deserves to win GOT when there are titles like GTA V around.

The last of Us was great but GOTY to me should be a game that can provide 100s of hours of entertainment and be open ended and allow for options.

The mission variety in GTA V is untouchable and the last of us while as good as it was had some faults that held it back for me.

majiebeast4299d ago (Edited 4299d ago )

Yeah that amazing mission variety

Drive here kill this drive back.

The gunplay is still as bad as ever in GTA and the driving still is far from perfect also they messed up the shooting out of a car mechanic.

So far GTA V is the most overrated game of the year 9,8 on metacritic my ass. Its probably a solid 8.5 or 9.

Wni04299d ago

It may have a lot of variety, but none of them are as well made as TLoU. A sandbox is a sandbox for a reason. Every section of a level in TLoU is carefully planned and measured, where as GTA, 80% of the missions are free form, so they have to make generic fetch quests. But from the gameplay ive seen, they have made it more seamless, hopefully they added smarter checkpoints.

Einhert4299d ago (Edited 4299d ago )

Should have expected as much from N4G, criticise a PS3 exclusive and meet your doom.

Thing is the last of us if anything more than has its problems and its not a perfectly mapped out level to level experience.

- The story was fairly predictable

- The game mechanics were silly, kill a guy with a certain gun expect ammo, no ammo, kill infected ammo...what?

- The constant fetching of things for ellie to climb on wasn't repetitive?

- criticise GTA for being drive here kill this drive back, what a blanket untrue statement. Like me saying The last of us, run down that corridor, shoot this, shoot that, fetch something for ellie to climb on.

- The shooting system was pretty horrible

- The stealth options were very limited, the same choking animation over and over.

- enemies take stupid amounts of damage which doesn't suit the feel of the game and I find it immersion breaking.

That plus the fact it is a scripted linear 10 hour campaign means for me it is not GOTY material.

Ezz20134299d ago (Edited 4299d ago )

why you act like this game is only loved on n4g ?!
pretty much this game is loved every where
and i have gone to most sites and gamers still see it as GOTY and GOTG even after GTAV....(i really don't care about that though)
TLOU is my GOTG and that is all that matter to me

i was about to say i disagree with your opinion but respect it
untill you wrote this :
"scripted linear 10 hour campaign"

this game have the least amount of scripted parts in any linear game and it's not even linear most of places are pretty big that allow for different ways of gameplay
and allow you to explore
and the story is far from predictable
i never saw the ending coming
and it also not 10 hours game
it took me on both normal and hard 20+hours
and for most gamers it's 15-20+hours game

so again i disagree with you on pretty much every thing in your comment
but any way i still respect your opinion though

MarcoGT4299d ago

I completely agree but fanbgirls will be all over you here, last of us has nothing on GTA and rip off in comparison.
So much variation and stuff to do, the cars physics I don't like that much but it's better than the last of us cars....

Let the beat down comence!

Though call!!!! I would have to call draw on TLOU and GTAV!

TLOU was innovative and fresh while GTA has perfected and reinvented the genre it created! Best year ever for gaming and owning a PS3!

Sm00thNinja4299d ago

I love the Last of Us but what was innovative and fresh about it. I'd say it was just a highly refined blend of genres with a fantastic story. The combat was excellent. The story was amazing but it didn't do anything groundbreaking.

gaelic_laoch4299d ago

I would say the presentation of the story making it on a par with any AAA movie and doing it well was innovative and fresh.
There are very few methods left to deliver a gaming experience that going forward it will be how they are presented as a serious medium to an ever maturing audience that will count!

Sm00thNinja4299d ago (Edited 4299d ago )

Aaa ah but with next generation hardware do you really think fresh and innovative game experiences are days gone by?? This much touted power of the PS4 can't all be for nothing? The Last of Us was a sweet farewell to an amazing generation of consoles and GTA V is the icing on that cake. The Last of Us did nothing new. It just did everything better than most genres before it, Really a testament to Naughty Dogs achievement

On that note I can agree with you're argument that the story was a breath of fresh air

byeGollum4299d ago

the greatest hype of all time

SoulSercher6204299d ago

Get your popcorn ready people. I have a feeling this won't be pretty.

The Meerkat4299d ago

Kung Fu Rainbow Lazer Force agrees.

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese43d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde42d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast43d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake42d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow142d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown50d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8550d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown50d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8549d ago (Edited 49d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole49d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name50d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast49d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj50d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
