PenguinZ said: Kyuu said: PenguinZ said: Would I consider The Last of Us a quality game? I would. Do I think it's deserving of GoTY? Yes. Is it overrated and overhyped? At this point, absolutely. How is it overhyped (at this point) when you agree it deserves GOTY? a game getting numerous GOTY awards is more indicating to the year's poor quality than the game's quality itself. It's wrong to assume this means its the best game ever. Well this is when my own personal bias comes in... TLOU is not my personal GOTY, though I can respect it as such due to its narrative. I find it overrated from the prospective of putting it as GoTG, which I have heard quite a lot. Though I attribute this somewhat due to the hype that surrounds the game currently, which is why I said it's overhyped. |
This years poor quality? Some of the finest games of all time have released this year.
Grand Theft Auto V - Second highest rated game of all time and I don't think I even need to mention the sales.
Bioshock Infinite - Critics and people alike calling it one of the best FPS this generation..need I say more?
Super Mario 3D World - Many, many people on this site have claimed its better than any mario game they have played in the past and only being compared to classics such as Mario Galaxy, Mario 64, Mario Galaxy 2 which are considered some of the best games of all time.
And for the people saying it didn't get tough compettion it did. GTA V has almost 150 awards..also one of the most in recent time.
