7 months into the year. What's your GOTY so far?

Even though WiiU has a bunch of great games already, it's worth picking one up for Tropical Freeze alone. If you like platform games, you simply have to play it.

Infamous: Second Son but I've only boughten a few games that came out this year. LittleBigPlanet 3 will probably end up being my game of the year followed by Super Smash Bros Wii U (if it does launch this year).

Easily Titanfall.

Oh man.. it's been a good year so far!
Counting games released this year:
1. Titanfall
2. Dead Rising 3
3. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
3. Killer Instinct
(Joint 3rd - couldn't pick between them!)
My most played game in the last 7 months is still Dragon Quest X probably though.
Played a heck of a lot of FIFA 14 though.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS
What...I got to play them.
Even though it was disappointing compared to the original Dark Souls, I still have to say Dark Souls 2. So strong are those games, that a weaker version is still among the best games of the year.
Other notable contestants are TLoU Remastered (and this would easily win but I'm not sure I want to make it eligible), Divinity Original Sin (rising, but still not at the top) and.. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (on PC, the PC port is actually excellent, go and buy it!).
Still more games I'd like to mention: The Banner Saga, Might&Magic X, Titanfall beta (hardly played the release version, I need to give it another try), Diablo 3: RoS, Wargame: Red Dragon, Tropico 5. And a dozen others.

Destiny Beta?

Burial at Sea Ep. 2
It'll end up being Bayo 2 in the end
as great as dk is I can't disagree with this.
Wasn't there a thread like this already?
Currently:
Game of the Year: South Park: The Stick of Truth
Runner-up: Titanfall
I have yet to finish The Last of Us: Remastered and I also believe Destiny will be strong contenders to dethrone Stick of Truth by the end of the year. Heck, I am feeling very optimistic for Evolve as well.

It's a toss up between Guacamelee, Oddworld: New n' Tasty, Stick it to the Man and inFAMOUS: Second Son.
Honourable mentioned goes to Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

It's got to be DONKEY KONG.
Shovel Knight comes pretty darn close though.
I've mostly been clearing my backlog all year. Not a lot has come out that has grabbed my attention. Fully expecting Bayo 2 and Smash to change that though.

Shovel Knight, Dark Souls 2.
I'm hoping Bayonetta 2 will trump both though.

1. The Last of Us: Left Behind - Obviously can't pick it in the final GOTY voting but I figure it's fine in an unofficial list. Easily the best thing I've played this year.
2. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
3. Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns
4. The Wolf Among Us: Season 1
5. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
6. South Park: The Stick of Truth
7. Murdered: Soul Suspect
I enjoyed all seven, flaws and all, so there's no loser in there.
I've spent most of this year trying to get through my backlog though, as I want to get as much of that away as possible before buying a PS4 (which is probably a couple of months away).

As I'm still playing it I'd say FFXIV.
In terms of non MMO I'd say Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. What a great game.

I'm thinking about buying it on PS3...is there local multiplayer (or local+online)?
OT, I didn't play too many 2014 games, as I don't have any of the next gen home consoles...if I were to go by expectations, I'd say Tropical Freeze

Divinity Original Sin, almost 30 hours in and it just keeps going. Absolutely great game.

DKC: Tropical Freeze.
I highly doubt it's going to change before the end of the year, but who knows.

Wolfenstein TNO.
But the overall GOTY will probably be Destiny, AC: Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition or Alien Isolation.

After playing the Aplha and Beta, I have a strong feeling it's going to be Destiny for me.

For those people who loved shovel knight, make sure to try 1001 spikes. It is a different style of platformer, but I believe it is a much better designed game.

This was exactly what I was going to say.
But then the other day I got the Elite: Dangerous beta. If that releases before the end of the year, it'll mean No Man's Sky and Star Citizen will have some HUGE shoes to fill.
