The Last of Us Winning Game of the Year is Disappointing (To Me Atleast)

Winning GOTY where? Certainly didn't win here, didn't even with the PS3 GOTY. It's won on some game sites, but plenty of other games have won GOTY's. I wouldn't even say it's dominated GOTY. Seems that GTAV, LBTW and SM3DW are getting plenty of love here.

So what you are saying is that TLOU winning even one GOTY is disappointing?

And TLOU isn't a shooter. You can make it through entire levels doing only stealth or melee take downs (with the occasional bomb or molotov thrown in for good measure), or sneak past all the enemy without having to kill one. Shooting is an element of TLOU but stealth is far more important. The harder the difficulty setting the more you need to stealth, because ammo is very hard to come by on high difficulty. So to say just "another shooter" suggests you don't really know the game at all.

?? TLOU dominated GOTY awards everywhere.............................it deserves it too.

 

Saying TLOU is just another shooter shows OP never touched tlou, its the furthest thing froma shooter.

 

Saying gameplay is "Ladder, plank, raft is simply pure ignorance.

Oh, I hadn't noticed sorry. The only places I've seen GOTYs the honours have been evenly shared between the games I listed and TLOU.

Anyway, this is the only GOTY I find in any way ineteresting even if I don't totally agree with the lists http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/8642-Top-5-Games-of-2013, TLOU almost made it into the top 5. But most notably, GTAV, LBTW, SM3DW didn't even get a look in.  Bioshock Infinite was the winner, and by all accounts a very deserving one too.
