Your GOTY 2013

[Rambler]

I bought Tomb Raider for $15 on black friday and started playing it yesterday. While I do enjoy this game and think it is done extremely well so far, it definitley does not hold a candle to TLOU. It is more Uncharted with a female lead. TLOU has a much more engating storyline and you defintley become more attached to the characters.

BO2 for multiplayer & GTA for Single player.

I've not played TLOU unfortunately. After my 2nd PS3 died I didn't replace it because the next Gen was looming by then. This is why I don't understand Fanboys, I have to buy both systems because you end up missing out on great games.

While I do prefer my PS3 over the 360, I'll never understand some people's devotion to a specific system. It's like they have stock in that company or something. Sure it's expensive, but that's the nature of the beast. Buy one, then wait until you have enough for the other or even a price drop.

~~Believe me I want a ONE right now, but I'm gonna hold out for Titanfall to release because that's the only game I think will hold my attention after completing it.

So, I just started playing TLOU last night (and a bit this morning). What an amazing introduction. This will most likely be my GOTY. The mechanics feel solid so far, just like Uncharted 3.

About time!

Bioshock Infinite

I will be getting my BF PS3 bundle in a few days, so I will update, should LOU take over.

I loved Infinite, but it wasn't even close.

Last Of Us.

Bioshock Infinite was an unforgettable experience but The Last of Us is a true masterpiece on all fronts. The Last of Us is GOTY 2013 for me.

I agree!
And I agree about Bioshock.
But Last of Us was the more polished experienced overall.

I really have to start playing the Bioshock games..

The first one was revolutionary but I wasn't crazy about it. 2 is not very good. But I really feel like Bioshock: Infinite is something special. I recommend it without hesitation.

In terms of pure gameplay and excitement, I think this is my GOTY too.

LMAO!! I'd have to agree as well . The game was insanely fun, and I actually found the storyline much more enjoyable than MGS 4.

I find Rising more sincere than any recent MGS, it's an honest attempt to create an action game solely to make you feel like the ultimate bad@$$. I can't believe the MGS fans who hated this game are coincidentally the same people all over MGSV. C'mon lighten up and have some fun people!

I only play few games so my vote is for Halo 4 on Heroic difficulty for its graphic and excitement... oh wait, it's 2012 game. So I'd go for Last of Us. Gameplay is a little pale compared to Halo 4 because I'm more of a shooter guy, but the story is a top-notch. Worth every penny I spent.

Well, I hated Rising at first, because the concept of a post MGS 4 setting where Raiden was still dealing with "Jack the Ripper" issues seemed so ridiculous.

But, after playing it (and replaying it for a second time), my opinions have completely changed. Platinum had poured their souls into making Rising. Even as nonsensical as the storyline is, at least it strives to progress the series forward, instead of keeping it stagnated in a retroactive storyline - like what Kojima has been doing with Big Boss.

In fact, I hope that Kojima allows Platinum to handle more MGS projects in the future. They seem to have a very unique take on the series, while in contrast, Kojima has just been struggling to play catch-up with other developers.

The Last of Us easily mops up.

GTAV

Tomb Raider (awesome new reboot)

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag (playing this noe and I love how it has reinvigorated thr AC franchise which had gone dull starting with Revelations)

Telltale Walking Dead

Telltale The Wolf Among us

Telltale Games - The Walking Dead

With just one episode? I can see the 1st season being a contender but that was last year I think?

I played it last year, so for 2013, it is my GOTY.

 

[Tornadoflame]

I'm gonna have to go with The Last of Us.

I don't think that's how it works but ok, it was a heart wrenching experience, I'm gonna wait till the 2nd season pack is released to buy it and play the whole thing, the wait for singular episodes kills me.
