GOTY?

[Tromatagon]

Oh man remember when everyone was all OH BIOSHOCK NOM NOM NOM GAAAGGG

 

thats the sound of them sucking the game's dick BTW 

 

NOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU PEOPLE AT?

THAT'S RIGHT, SAYING OHHHHHHHHH GTA V I WANT TO CRAWL INSIDE YOU LIKE A TAUN TAUN

[Tromatagon]

which is the right opinion btw

[Gonzo]

Not sure it's really GOTY material for anyone else, but I loved Rogue Legacy a ton. Doesn't beat out GTA or Tomb Raider, though. And there's a lot of stuff I still need to play.

 

Fuck yes, Rogue Legacy. For a game I got off Steam for about $10, I've certainly gotten more entertainment value for my money out of it than I have out of any other game this year.

[Scizzy]

Great games: Bioshock Infinite, Rogue Legacy, Papers Please, The Wolf Among Us, GTA V, Volgarr the Viking, Gone Home, Brothers, Gunpoint, Year Walk, The Stanley Parable, State of Decay.

[RIPPA]

As of this moment - I have played 1 2013 title. Tomb Raider.

 

Two if I count the little time I spent helping my son on Pokemon X/Y

 

Now by the time the Christmas season ends I plan to have Saints Row IV, GTAV, Arkham Origins and Lego Marvel... so I will at least be able to submit a passable ballot.

[ultimoDANK]

Bioshock Infinite is great there's just a few games better this year. Plus I prefer the original Bioshock. That's bad for Infinite and speaks to the greatness of the original.

I saw State of Decay mentioned. Fun game but way too many flaws. Felt almost like a test run for a nextgen version.

Based on people here I guess I need to get Tomb Raider ASAP. Also the new Zelda 3ds game has to be played before I can make a real call.

Game of the Year for me, as always, is MLB: The Show.

I'm not sure I really understand the hatred The Last Of Us is getting.

[Fat Spanish Waiter]

You didn't play it, obviously.

[Raziel]

I'm not sure I really understand the hatred The Last Of Us is getting.

Its a 16 hour long escort mission where the person your escorting is 4 notches above useless disguised with a boring, plodding, pretentious, cliche laden story with a shitty ending, with a protaganist while understandably not a good person in the beginning, ends up being reprehensible at the end by making an incredibly selfish decision that fucks over just about the entire world, all using a massively watered down version of the Uncharted engine.  Add in a couple really bad things to "enhance" gameplay (Joel being fucking useless at melee and having no knife, ignoring that he's been facing the fungus zombies for 20 years), and if Elle is so important, why did dying resistance chick NOT LET THE HIRED ESCORTS TAKE MORE THAN FUCKING HANDGUNS WITH HALF A CLIP if their payment was a bunch of guns, which generic sidekick number one FUCKING VERIFIED???  Any why the hell did Joel have Daredevil sound sense, but couldn't beat a clicker off him until he reads it in a fucking book?

 

Yeah, its a shit game that people seem to fawn over because the ending being shitty and depressing is the in thing now.

[EVA]

^^^mad because sucked at playing Last of Us

[The Z]

I'm not sure, if I will participate, but if I do The Last of Us will definitely be my #1.

[Raziel]

My frustration with the gameplay doesn't change that the story was dogshit.

 

The only positive I can give the game is that the graphics were pretty.

[Fat Spanish Waiter]

The game play was terrible. It wasn't a frustration thing. It was a "why would I play this dogshit" thing.

[Dank]

So when I played Last of Us I was like "oh, this game looks nice and has some good stuff and some bad stuff but whatever" but it's really fun to picture half the people in this thread just totally losing their shit in rage while playing it.

[Raziel]

I didn't lose my shit playing it, so much as I tapped out and moved on to actual good games, then finished off watching the story and seeing that if I played through the rest of the game to get to that, I would've been pissed.

 

Now I just wonder why so many people love this game.  But I wonder why so many people love some shitty movies as well, so whatever.

[EVA]

^^^technical term for that is "bitchquitting."

Exactly how far in did you make it before bitchquitting?

[Raziel]

Entering the school after the horde attacked you while trying to get the parts to fix the engine to get a car.

 

Why does deciding to stop wasting my time playing a shitty, overrated game have to equal bitchquitting?  I played harder games, they had better payoffs.

 

I explained why I hated the game, anyone want to explain why its such a glorious piece of gaming culture?

[Dank]

The fact that your posts are so overexaggerating is the best part.

 

To you, it's the biggest steaming pile of shit, the biggest disappointment in your life, the most overrated thing ever, and anyone who played and enjoyed the game doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

 

If someone likes the game, it must be a glorious piece of gaming culture that changed the way we think about video games and did everything short of coming with a little mechanical arm that jerks you off while you play.

 

To me and most reasonable people, it was a decently average game that caused us zero distress whether we completed it or ditched it for something better.

Haven't played the game but this review has put a needed smile on my face. Ditto for picturing your reaction like The Big Show's in your avatar. Cheers.

A proper quit is just like, "Fuck it, I am DONE with this shit," and then never wasting another second of your life on it. Whether the result of poor game design or your own incompetence, it is a decision that can be respected. But you apparently quit, then ran to YouTube so you could, you know, see what happens without having to earn it. Like a bitch. Hence: bitchquitting.

Decently average but rated fairly consistently at 9/10 or better!

[The Z]

I actually think it's pretty much a perfect game. I've actually finished it several times now on various diffulty levels and I rarely play any games more than once.

If I gave out ratings I would give it a 10.

[Andrew POE!]

You didn't play it, obviously.

 

I did and I beat it on Hard. I'm planning on going back through to get a Platinum with it.

 

My expectations weren't really based on the reviews at all -- I played the demo and I hated the demo completely. Yes, the reviews have overrated the game a bit, but reviews can either confirm your expectations or not.

 

But it has more in common to me with the first Resident Evil in a lot of ways. There was a feeling of tension throughout the game that I thought was great. It's not going to be a fast-paced game nor is it going to be like Uncharted, so I wasn't expecting the game to be like other games I've played.

 

In the end, I thought the game was excellent and the gameplay suited it for once. You didn't feel like Rambo playing the game because....your character is not Rambo. And if you didn't like the Winter section of the game, I don't know what to tell you. If you haven't gotten to that section because you wrote off the game and never returned, then that's OK.

 

If you want to talk about a dogshit game, look at Jak II.
