I don't remember what it's called but are we going to have the shame of the year voting thread too?
I think we need distance on TLOU, because it would probably win that too.
Wonder where Dota 2 will fit in.... Probably around 15~20 place
Just looked at the GOTY awards thread, god damn I still can't believe it beat Red Dead Redemption.
for what it's worth, it's over 300 points
Already happened. I think the Xbox One initial reveal won.I don't remember what it's called but are we going to have the shame of the year voting thread too?

So.... GTA?
Can I blame this one on randomkid? Let’s blame this one on randomkid.
Gone Home in top 15, so GAF can go berserk.So what games would you guys like to chart high? I hope Metal Gear Rising did well. It seemed to show up on quite a few lists. It was No. 3 on my list, but having just replayed it on PC, I can't stop thinking about it. I still stand by where I ranked it, but that hardly diminishes the game. 2013 was spectacular.
Sin and Punishment only at 6 and no sonic colors?
For shame.

Banned before he could post his list, which would've probably been empty because it's Derrick.I asked before but it got lost. Did Derrick end up posting a list, or is he still banned?

Really hoping Fire Emblem did really well (my personal GotY still). Shoutouts to Pokemon XY, MGR and Mario 3D World as well.So what games would you guys like to chart high?

That was my pick too but opinions etc.SMG2 was fucking robbed in 2010.
Yes! No! ... maybe?
Naughty GAF gonna Naughty?
Fuck... Got a link by any chance?Already happened. I think the Xbox One initial reveal won.

no matter what happens, it always won soundtrack!
(I have no clue)
Here you go.Fuck... Got a link by any chance?
In the soundtrack thread, MGR walked up to TLoU, RULES OF NATURE, flipped it over 200 feet in the air, and cut it into 600 itty bitty pieces.
Greatest list. Greatest reasons. 5/5 Stars 10/10 Numbers 12/12 Obamas 100/100 Space Dandiesi. the last of us - simply one of the greatest achievements of mankind. when aliens find our lost civilizations, this will prove the context in how will lived and interacted with one another. a treasure that will be unforgotten and a beacon of light in this industry.
ii. uncharted 2 - uncharted 2.
iii. uncharted 3 - while not uncharted 2, uncharted 3 still brings a lot to the table with its humanity and action setpieces. a triumph of writing, acting, and game design.
iv. jak ii - i couldn't believe my eyes. it was like a cartoon come to life. but unlike cartoons, this had a deep, dark, and complex story, and unlike other platformers at the time, this offered variety in its gameplay in a living and breathing city. simply the greatest game of the ps2 generation.
v. jak 3 - naughty dog has a hard time following up their masterpieces, but who can blame them. that said, jak 3 may not be as good as jak ii, but it has a lot to offer players, and provides a touching ending to the trilogy.
vi. uncharted: drake's fortune - naughty dog exploded onto the new generation in a fantastic way. while no one could predict how much higher highs this series could go, it was already in contention for one of the best games of all-time when it released in 2007.
vii. jak x combat racing - unlike a lot of racing games out there, this shed the kiddie exterior that plagued titles like sonic r and konami krazy racers, and brought a level of maturity to the genre the only way jak could.
viii. crash team racing - simply a wonderful and colorful racing game.
ix. crash bandicoot 3 warped - considering it was their first game with analog controls, it holds up remarkably well. it still stands heads and shoulders among its contemporaries for its brilliant level design and challenge.
x. crash bandicoot 2 - it's hard to believe this was naughty dog's second game. while i loved crash bandicoot, this did every single thing the first one did, but better.

Yeah, I'm thinking MGR is going to be the Sleeping Dogs of this year. At just a cursory glance, I saw it show up on a ton of people's lists this year. It's not going to be No. 1 obviously, but I'm thinking it might be in the top 10.

I just played through Metal Gear Rising on PC this week, and I love it! I kinda wish I had placed it on my top 10 of 2013, but at the same time it didn't feel right for me to put it on my list because my first time playing it was a port released this year.
I have no doubt that it will be on my top 10 list for 2014, and I certainly hope it has a respectable standing once the results are posted.
I'm almost certain that any of those people in Stump's post on Gone Home that also wrote a GOTY list will consist of games focused entirely on mechanical mastery, whereas most people who listed Gone Home on their list will have either also put Brothers on it as well (numbered or HM) or have a wider spread of games that touch on ludo vs. narrative.That would be great. I actually think it has a chance of making at least the top 20. The gnashing of teeth will be great considering the past performance of the Walking Dead and Journey, both of which are games I truly love. If anyone liked Gone Home and hasn't seen it yet, you should check out Stumps top 10. It will make you laugh your ass off.
Good show, sir/madam.1/1 citizen kanes
I don't have a valid ballot for him.

You could probably spend an entire year of doing nothing but playing videogames from the late 90s and not even finish them. I mean... there are around 18,000 games for just the SNES.Sad thing is, this is the first year I even got close to playing enough of the games I really wanted to for that year, and I still missed an entire console's offerings. This always seems to happen with my schedule though. Like, 2012 was a good year for me mainly because I spent half of it catching up on 2011 games.
And then of course, looking back I see that missing out on voting for Vanquish will be an eternal regret for me.
Rising will definitely show up. Consistency will help it; it's a solid number 3-6 in a ton of lists.
I'd love for 3D World (my GOTY!) and TW101 to show up, but I'm not sure if enough people played them.

Monster Manor is the shit. Flower Town is second.StreetPass Plaza: Monster Manor
We all know it's the best StreetPass game *looks at Flower Town*
Thanks. I don't know how I missed this. =(
Banned before he could post his list, which would've probably been empty because it's Derrick.
Well he did like one game, I just can't seem to remember what.
