I hope GTA V wins. BEST.GAME.EVER

EDIT: You're dead to me

Didn't you say something about sliting wrists?


Aldro GTA V WON!! I agreed with you when you said Uncharted 2 was GOTY (At time it was my favourite game) and agreed with you when you said Uncharted 3 was GOTY (Also my favourite game of all time) When you said TLOU was the best game ever I also agreed with you then but then GTA V came out...I'm sorry Aldro but Rockstar is now my favourite devolper and GTA V is my favourite game of all time...TLOU is in a strong second though!

Uncharted 2 had no competition really
Uncharted 3 had Skyrim, Portal 2, Arkham City to name a few but I held it higher

TLOU however, GTAV, Bioshock Infinite

And I hold TLOU higher than every game listed above because I sincerely feel it absolutely craps all over them, including my beloved Uncharteds.

I'm fairly certain GTA3 was special when it came out. GTAV builds on it and adds stuff, making it bigger and better (something both Vice City, San Andreas and GTAIV did as well). It's an improvement, a clear one. Just like my beloved Uncharted 2 & 3 are. But is it special beyond masterful? In my eyes, no. And I played it quite a bit both online and offline. TLOU wins for being something new and pushing the medium forward in writing, characters, gameplay, AI, narration and more, by far. Obviously it wouldn't matter if it wasn't masterful also which it is.

Just fucking look at dis man:

If you look back on this year in a few years time, and TLOU had even half the impact it had on you as it did for me: You will not be thinking about GTAV. TLOU hit much, much harder and GTAV is a game that will be somewhat left out once GTAVI comes, but even with a possible TLOU2: ND will have an insanely hard time reaching TLOU1.

GTAV had a disjointed story, characters that were in your face in terms of writing (Trevor being the biggest offender), narrative that just felt all over the place (I can't even begin to retell the story of GTAV to anyone and half the time, I didn't understand why I was doing what I was), poor missions where a vast majority felt recycled and *been there, done that*, the overall gameplay while in a huge world: Has been done in all GTAs prior to it, Sleeping Dogs, Mafia and hell even Just Cause, Saints Row and so forth. It's a huge world, it's beatiful: But that doesn't cut it for me. I don't play games to mess around in a world because I've done that so much already and they end up only giving me temporarily fun which eventually becomes tireing and I end up taking the taxi everywhere.

The Online is completely dreadful due to the economy system along with the auto aim majority which completely makes the game feel cheap (where the fuck were the supposed online heists?) The whole "A dot is here! Oh he killed me, I killed him!, He killed me.. and now he's driving off" , feels like a complete waste of time.

For the record dsage01, how many GTA's have you played prior to 5? I think that would be interesting to know.
