GOTY 2013 - Last is First - The Bear and Badger

[Deleted User]

Maybe, but with PS+ stuff and GTAO it will be a while.

TBF I never clicked with Uncharted either so shouldn't have expected too much from the gameplay.

TheDJR

Go on, do it for me, how often am I wrong about stuff?

[Deleted User]

Always!
Or never, maybe sometimes.

Spoiler:

I was with the girl and had the woman from the beginning with me too. The room was dark and square (possibly a small shopping complex) I was trying to stealth it but any slip up and the stupid cow with me would start firing (and missing) catching the attention of the blind things who would all rush me. How is it 2013 and we still have retarded companions? The girl appears to be OK though, like she has more advanced AI. Either way 8 or 9 attempts at that, most of which that woman ruined and I can't even be arsed to put the disc in anymore.

Oddly I had no issues of that kind.

Dark Soldier

GTAV, Tomb Raider or Bioshock Infinite for me, seeing as they're the only new ones bar FM14 (instantly disqualified) I've played.

Probably Borderlands 2 tbh.

Does seem like one of those bits that isn't going to bother everyone, or indeed most people.

Spoiler:

Moot_Geeza

Mario 3D World
The Last of Us
Tomb Raider

Runner up: Rayman Legends. Might sneak in when I've played a bit more of it.

Basing the only things I've played that were released this year:

Device 6
Animal Crossing
Papers Please

Papers would probably come higher, but I've only spent about 10 minutes on it.

Lots of stuff would almost certainly come higher, if I'd played them; Mario World, Saints Row, Gone Home...

TheDJR

I need to play Papers Please, got it waiting. Tomb Raider has no place on these lists.

Moot_Geeza

I only played the games on my list, although I did genuinely like Tomb Raider.

Edit: and GTA V, but I can't put it in after only two hours.

dynamiteReady

For me it's

Tearaway
The Last of Us
Mario

I haven't played TLoU or Mazza, so I don't care if you discount those two votes.
Tearaway though... It's probably the freshest game this year.

I like the care and attention they put in the fourth wall concept. Some games nod towards the fourth wall... Some allow you to plaster your face onto characters... The GTA games always gave you a map. But offering accurate papercraft nets of the in-game characters?

That's a first.

The game also presents a great model for in-game twitter/facebook integration, and leveraging the player's creativity, without overt complexity.

None of the forerunners in our current, tentative list attempt as much new shit as Tearaway does... What's more, the game succeeds in all of these areas.

Very thoughtful game...

See how there are no lives? you just fall off the stage, and float back. That's for kids, that is... But the game is still critical success, and even us hardcore dweebs can't knock the game.

I have a feeling that I'd enjoy Mazza more though...

It does look very slick.

Zelda ALBW may well top my list

Are we doing 3 or 5?

Anyway, here's 5.

1. GTAV
2. Resogun
3. Tomb Raider
4. Guacamelee
5. FIFA 14

As impressive as TLoU was, I just couldn't be arswed plodding through it, and no doubt missed out on all it's wonders, but I traded it for GTAV which was actually, like, y'know, fun.

5. That's a shockingly bad list, you have no taste.

JMW

Guacafuckamelee?!

Hence I drink with you.

To be honest, I've not played much else other than whatever PS+ had to offer.

Yup, great fun it is too.

Aye, the only other game in the OP I've played is Revengeance, and that was gash.

I said to myself I'd play TLoU before year's out.

Making me wonder what games actually are on the OP list. Full lol at GTAV not getting on there, what with it being mentioned in the second post and then consistently throughout the thread, being well recieved on here and by the critics and that. Good to see that random game prejudices aren't having an impact on this thing. Highly amusing stuff.

Gremill

1. GTA V
2. GTA Online
3. Plants vs Zombies 2
4. Tomb Raider

Turns out I've only played 3 games released in 2013, which is the only reason I've got TR on that list.

The Last of Us - it's easy to be snooty about videogames and there's an awful lot of pretentiousness on here at times but this was a game that matched it's ambition with a measured and mature storyline. Yes, the gameplay was clunky at times, but when a game has been created with as much skill and artistry as this you can allow it a few issues.
Splinter Cell:Blacklist - only just started playing this but the range and content is superb. Be psycho Sam or stalker-Sam. Play on your own, co-op or MP. Enjoyable romp.
Metro:Last Light - if you like the first, you'll like this. More of the same although a bit easier.
Papers Please - a game that you become genuinely involved in and feel waves of guilt as you send people packing to their deaths or look the other way when they provide dodgy papers. Fantastic stuff.
Lego City Undercover - a cracking family game to play together but offers something for kids and adults. Cultural references abound.

Was tempted to put Minion Rush for being catnip for toddlers.

GTAV wasn't out when the OP was written. Not adding it purely because of HYPE! seems reasonable enough to me.

TheDJR

GTA Online is not a seperate game.

hylian_elf

Some people are mentioning GTAO. Is that a separate game or just the online part of GTAV? Excuse my GTA-noob ness.

hylian_elf

How can you possibly answer before I ask?!?! MADNESS!!

TheDJR

Witchcraft.

Yossarian

But seriously, DJ, how'd you do that? Some kind of ESP? Magic powers?

Yossarian

Howdy, Stranger!
