GTA V has to impress

[The Wolfman]

It's gotta be gta v, come on now.

[woggleman]

I don't know who will win but The Last of Us is the only other game I am really looking forward to.

[Druffmaul]

 

Thr Last of Us WILL be Game of the Year.

GTA 5 needs to be pretty damn good.

I agree with this statement GTA won't get Goty cause IV left a bad taste in a lot of people mouths and there waiting to retaliate on whats next.

Speaking of leaving a bad taste in their mouths, those people can suck my dick.

[Happyness]

Didn't they say the story was as long as Red Dead's?

In my opinion I don't care how long it is!

 

That's what she said !

These type of posts are getting so stupid and retarded.

Me too. Gamers for the most part are just a bunch of comic book nerds who can't appreciate anything that isn't sci fi or comic booky. I have always loved gritty crime drama and IV gave me a change to experience it in an interactive kind of form. TLOU is sci fi but it appears believable and to have good writing.

[Druffmaul]

You Clearly Haven't played Red Dead Redemption to say that it's a copy of GTA.

What's with the denial about RDR being GTA set in the old west? Sorry, but that's exactly what it is. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO GODDAMN WONDERFUL.

The Last of Us is getting 10/10s and 5*s left right and centre, and it's looking like it might be GTA V's biggest contender for game of the year.

 

this game For real??????????????

 

I didn't know much about it, just watched that review and instantly thought of this thread!

 

Are you for real when you say that is a contender for GTA?

 

In my life i have seen crappy over hyped games come and go, and that is 100% in that pile!

IV is part of a series though, and while debatably crappy (and if you think it is, then it was clearly also over hyped), but the series has stood the test of time, and earned its place in gaming history whether you like it or not (the game, not you and that fact).

 

Last of Us, looks like some cheap ass generic Capcom sh*t, that wont even see a sequel lol...

 

Maybe it's because I'm not into the whole Zombie fad, or maybe its because i can't see how what looks like a relatively linear action/puzzler (?) could possibly be a contender for an open world crime sim with so much to do within the massive detailed world, that we will probably still be playing it in 5 years time, and people will be like "The last of us?? Isn't that a crappy movie/tv series that once upon a time was apparently a game??"

The Last of Us looks different from most linear games. Max Payne 3 is a typical linear game. GTA over the long years has became a typical open world game. The Last of Us looks like it can do good. It's a new title and nobody really knows how the gameplay is like.

 

It seems over the years newer titles do better then well known titles. Red Dead Redemption was better then IV but wasn't as well known. It was something new. A open world cowboy game. How many did we have with that?

Last of us on the other hand is a "non" open world zombie themed action game, we have seen plenty of them.... And GTA pretty much leads the way with what a "typical" open world is, so that is a mute point.

 

I will agree with, us not knowing what Last of Us plays like, but i have played many a 3rd person action game...and i have tapped many an X to defend myself against [enter game foe here]. So it's not hard to see that Last of Us wont be breaking any boundaries or making any kind of mark/legacy in gaming history.

 

Maybe when we look back and laugh at the days most went with the Zombie fad, maybe we will be like "Yea but Last of Us was the better of a bad bunch" or "The Zombie market was saturated at point of release, but that Last of Us game managed to break through"... i doubt in 10years+ time complete strangers will be able to discuss where they were when they first saw it, or share their midnight launch experience like we do now with SA and I'm sure we will again with V.

 

I sound like one of those fan boys desperately trying to defend my fav game! I'm not! I see no need, im just pointing out that i find it shocking that A:Last of Us is getting so much attention, and B:it's even being considered as potentially better then V!?!?

Me too. Gamers for the most part are just a bunch of comic book nerds who can't appreciate anything that isn't sci fi or comic booky. I have always loved gritty crime drama and IV gave me a change to experience it in an interactive kind of form. TLOU is sci fi but it appears believable and to have good writing.

The sheer ignorance of these posts.

 

1. GTA IV DID in fact leave a bad taste in a lot of gamers' mouths. Apparently the trade-in rate for the game early-on was record-setting. I don't hate IV myself, it's actually my favorite in the series, but telling people who saw it as a step backward (in some ways it is) to suck your dick is childish.

 

 

2. "Gamers for the most part are just a bunch of comic book nerds who can't appreciate anything that isn't sci fi or comic booky". Does this really even need a rebuttal? It's blatantly false.

 

3. "TLOU is sci fi but it appears believable and to have good writing." If you're trying to disassociate yourself from that stigma, you're doing a very poor job by trying to make The Last of Us an exception to the rule.

[gtamann123]

It will come down to GTA V and The Last Of Us for GOTY and I feel it may go to tlou. Just how the media is (Fable 2 got most of the game of the year awards in 2008 instead of GTA IV) so unless GTA V is even better than we expect than I could see the last of us taking it. But hey second ain't bad. It's kind if sad how you have two incredible games coming out and then it's huge drop off from there in terms of everything else that's coming out.

We should just wait until the end of the year.

The Last of Us isn't a zombie game. They are not dead. It's base on a true fungus that infects ants. I ain't going to say its the best game ever cause I haven't played it yet. But judging on the demos it feels like most of the game is a cut scene. That's how real it feels. This game has a feel of The Walking Dead and Uncharted combine. It feels different then most Linear games. They say you have a choice in how you want to play. Also SA is a AAA title so of course there is going to be people waiting outside. The whole world knows about Grand Theft Auto V ( Same with COD ). So there is going to be more people waiting outside for that game. Kinda unfair to judge a game that everyone knows about to a game with only a quarter of the gamers know about. I didn't even see to much advertising about The Last of Us. So only PlayStation fans know about them. Not even half know about The Last of Us. It's a unheard title.

I'm not sure why you seem so overly hostile. It's just that unless I've misunderstood, you linking to one score which is 8/10 (still a great score) and using it to justify that this is an over hyped game seems silly considering the huge amount of perfect scores all of the other sites have given it.

[Nemesis2252]

the only thing that could hurt GTA V's value is the 3 protagonist system. im not saying its a bad idea, but its a new system that could pay off well, or have devestating results. you can switch characters at any time, and use any character you want when not on a mission, but sometimes during missions the game will force switch you.

 

if R* pulls off this 3 protagonist system, i think GTA V will win GotY for sure. we know its going to be an epic open world, do anything game with lots of time-consuming activities and collectables. maybe the graphics arent eye-popping because of the dated current-gen systems and the open-world aspect, but a game shouldnt be based on graphics anyways, all about the gameplay

[Input]

I agree with some of the others, depending how they go about the 3 protagonist system will really decide how well the game will be rated. And I'm confident that they did it extremely well.

But on a different note, can someone tell me why this "The Last of Us" is so great? I'm sure it has a good story and all, and real well done graphics... But the gameplay doesn't really seem all that great. Honestly it looks pretty generic to the standards of stealth games.

It's also one of the highest selling used titles on Gamestop.com. People are starting to appreciate it now but like everything else when something slightly deviates from what came before people will get mad. If the Beatles came out today people would complain that they didn't sound like Hard Day's Night on every album. That is just what fans are like today. That Rockstar showed some balls and took a risk is to their credit. Many great things are heavily criticized in their time. People have the right to their view but they need to learn that just because they really like one game it doesn't mean that Rockstar needs to xerox it every year with slight variations like other companies do.

 

 

Not all gamers are like this but many really are like Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons. They are grown men still obsessed with Comic Books and Cartoons. Most of the people who work at Gamestop look like they live in their mom's basement and haven't been anywhere near a real woman. Nothing wrong with those things but some of us like me want something more adult and the fact that a game company makes a game that caters to folks like me is not a reason to get mad and act like they murdered a member of your family. The way some people take IV personally is hilarious as if Rockstar purposely made it to insult them. I prefer dark and cynical humor over poop and fart jokes myself.

 

TLOU very much does come across as a believable post apocalyptic game. It's not stupid for the sake of being stupid like so many seem to want GTA to be. It seems like a well made horror game.

It was an IGN report from late 2008 (maybe early 2009) because I remember it being about what held back the GOTY candidates that didn't win. In GTA IV's section they were saying that the trade-in rate was a record-setter. I'm trying to find it right now.

[Algonquin Assassin]

I don't know about anyone else, but the day I play GTA V I wont be thinking about it getting GOTY or its review scores. If it "impresses" me that's all that matters (to me of course).

 

Why do people think I'm so adamant with my fandom of GTA IV? The game impressed me on release and still impresses me today and I don't care if people agree or not.

 

I'm going to buy The Last Of Us, but I really couldn't give a sh*t if it gets GOTY over GTA V. I'm sure I'll enjoy them both for different reasons.

[Dlee13]

The Last of Us is getting 10/10s and 5*s left right and centre, and it's looking like it might be GTA V's biggest contender for game of the year.

 

In my opinion, a game with less than 20 hours of content (I saw somewhere it's about 15 hours long) with linear missions should never be 10/10 nowadays, but hey, I haven't played it yet.

 

So guys, bearing in mind that A.) we need to try to be unbiased... and B.) Neither game is released yet, who do you PREDICT game of the year will go to?

I remember reading that Rock* said GTA V will have 25-30 hours of gameplay, around the same amount of time as Red Dead Redemption?

[Alenko]

Is "The Last Of Us" even out yet? I haven't been following up on it that much.

A week away, man. This should hold me down for a little bit for V.

[warchild3529]

GTA offers waaaay more content and features. The amount of gameplay hours you can put in this game... The replay value is a 110% and they can't deny R* has made the best virtual city ever. So detailed, so vibrant, so alive... If GTA V isnt the best game of 2013, i dont know what to say...

Amen!
