Tomb Raider's gonna get a bum rap this year with TLOU, GTA V and Bioshock coming out this year as well.

Also, fuck this commercial shill-fest of a show if The Stanley Parable doesn't get some love like Journey did a while back.

[JeremyHight]

It is going to be a toss up between GTA 5 and Last of Us. Both were amazing, I'd say the story in Last of Us was better (by a good margin), but the replayability of GTA 5 is higher. I think GTA 5 will get the win, but Last of Us might win the PS Game of the Year as a showing that it was amazing as well.

Also, I really don't feel like Witcher 3 is that anticipated. Of the games they listed, I feel like South Park may win just because of name recognition.

Gone Home is not a game.

[Buzzman]

I didn't think it was good, although I did like the setting. But I enjoyed the gameplay and the exploring enough to not care that the story was subpar.

I enjoyed the gameplay and setting as well, but the last act on top of every character besides Lara Croft sucking ass wont bode well with a sequel, where that shouldnt be overlooked once its established.

[Primetime]

As far as the Tomb Raider story, I missed the last act due to a glitch

[Swarley]

I enjoyed the gameplay and setting as well, but the last act on top of every character besides Lara Croft sucking ass wont bode well with a sequel, where that shouldnt be overlooked once its established.

Very true. I'm hoping for almost an entirely new cast of characters.

[Buzzman]

Yea, game is great tho. Dont get me wrong. Loved it and very much looking forward to a sequel. It just why I think The Last of Us is probably the greatest thing I will play in my lifetime. It clicked on everything (including multiplayer).

Bioshock Infinite was a huge problem with its side characters. I hated every single one besides DeWitt and Elizabeth.

With GTA V. There are stretches that are just so boring to me. Which holds it back a little bit.

Gone Home is not a game.

Tell me more.
