GTA4 > TLOU? Bullshit.
Exactly.GTA V doesn't deserve GOTY with that embarrassing excuse for a story. I really enjoyed it, even (it's my #2 GOTY), but The Last of Us is the true total package.
The Last of Us is the game of the year, but I'm preparing myself for the "denial" stage right now. GTA V's plot stumbles and trips all over itself to such a disappointing conclusion, maybe any other year the gameplay alone would have been enough to make it still the best GOTY, but in this, the year of The Last of Us, I just can't accept it.If TloU doesn't get it I'll be deeply disappointed.
well so we already know the GOTY ... too bad TLOU won't be getting it
If one of those judges happens to be named Arthur then it def ain't winning shitExactly.
Unfortunately, I doubt that even half of the judges have even played TLoU. I know several of those guys definitely didn't. And then there are 3 judges from Polygon lol.
Wow looks like they spoiled Rockstar getting GOTY
The way some of guys talk make it sound like the VGAs can be used as a form of torture. I mean come on, yea they do dumb shit on stage, but do some of you have such thin skins that you can't even tolerate it?
I find much of that crap cringeworthy all the same, but I don't even let it get to me because I love seeing new trailers and new games get revealed. Bunch of drama queens in here

It's a sad day when we discard a game from being goty because its story wasn't very good.

Not when over half the game is cutscenes and driving around listening to people talk.
antitrop said:We're talking about the same awards show that gave The Walking Dead the GOTY 2012, based purely 100% on its story.
I wasn't talking about the last of us.
When some time has passed and we look back at 2013 and at the remarkable and influential games were released that year, we will be talking about TloU and not GTAV.
Neither was I............The Last of Us had a good story and great intense gameplay.
To give their Game of the Year acceptance speech probably.
Don't they say this every year? And then every year it's the same shit show?
A game from 2008 beating a game from 2013 for GOTY would indeed be bullshit.

It's not like every positive critical response and sale is going to be taken away from The Last of Us if it doesn't win GOTY. Besides, the true GOTY is Metal Gear Rising or The Wonderful 101(based on what I've heard and read), being bummed out about a really successful game beating another really successful game is so lame.
Hell, who ever expected it'd have such a fantastic and unique multiplayer rather than simply being an afterthought?
Oh so you were knocking another game for being "half cutscenes" while propping up a game that likely IS half cutscenes and other non interactive parts.
Not televised live, instead its a 3hr pre recorded stream without all of the B list celebs from years past. It's more like a long ass episode of GTTV with awards sprinkled in, and actual reveals and new trailers.
The whole rockstar dev team there in person? GTA V GOTY confirmed? I sure hope TLoU gets it.
Is this going to be streaming anywhere? I don't have cable.
I looked at the judge list, lots of GTAV love and The Last of Us meh on it.
And GTA V has really fun characters and excellent gameplay. One winning over the other shouldn't be some sort of grand bummer.
It's basically streaming everywhere this year instead of being on cable. I PS3, Steam, 360, and Xbox One will have a stream as well as most gaming websites.
It would be a bummer in the same way seeing my favorite hockey team lose in the playoffs is a bummer.

My opinion on BI is exactly the opposite, I really enjoyed the gunplay, using the Vigors, and riding the Skyrails in combat, but felt the story fell dreadfully short of being truly great, especially in the closing hours (Vox Populi storyline completely falls apart).On the Bonus Round, all of the panelists (who also have voting power at the VGX), admitted that BioShock Infinite's gameplay was lackluster. That after time had passed, the game had soured on them (from a gameplay aspect). BUT because the story and world design was so fantastic, it deserved to be on the GOTY category.
To be fair on the Bonus Round, 1 of them said it was TLOU for him.3 from Polygon does not bode well for TLOU.

I was much more fulfilled by the narrative of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, even. But I like shooting things, and shooting things in Bioshock Infinite was really fun, so it's still one of my top games of the year.
