TLOU, first time I played it.
Think I had the most bloody fun with Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee New 'N Tasty
Dad nostalgia!
From the big ones, probably Wolfenstein at the moment. Or TLOU, but that was more GOTY 2013. Guess it'll end up being Forza Horizon 2, Alien: Isolation or Assassin's Creed Unity.
Played only one game from 2014 South Park Stick of Truth, but we get Dragon Age and Hotline Miami 2 this year also, right?
All these Wolfenstein nods make me want to hurry up and play my copy (Addicted to D3, and then I've got Destiny to start....).
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.
Perhaps it will be Dragon Age Inquisition at the end of the year, and that's a very vague "Maybe..." because... well, Bioware has not been on top of the world for almost 5 years now. I say that as someone who got bored out of his mind with DA2 and absolutely hated Mass Effect 3. ME2 was okay though but I'm counting that with it because there's a consensus amongst the narrative experts that it has a pretty poor plot.
If the events and DLC keeps Destiny alive for at least one or two months for me, then it is a contender as well. I was having fun until today. I just finished after having played it non-stop since 12pm GMT+1, and I've just been doing endgame stuff since last week. Crucible is a blast and grinding for exotic is addicting, but I only know whether the game is a complete disappointment when I feel there is no more to see, and so far I feel like I'm getting there, but there's just a lot of grinding and farming I need to do before i can find out what I ultimately think.
But ME2 won practically all the best story/narrative awards back in 2010, including the GDC, AIAS [also GOTY] and BAFTA [also GOTY].
You salty cause it won GOTY over SMG2that was the gas leak year. so was 2012 come to think of it.
that was the gas leak year.
super mario galaxy 2
bayonetta
sin & punishment: star successor
vanquish
fallout: new vegas
game of the year: mass effect 2
What's my Goatee?
Hmmm I hate doing this but The Last of Us Remastered has to clean up this year too. If not then probably Divinity: Original Sin which has fantastic storyline and good gameplay.
You salty cause it won GOTY over SMG2
i'm salty because it won goty over any of those.
the mass effect 2 spoiler thread wasn't about how awesome the game was (like the last of us spoiler thread or the danganronpa one), it was about how fucking hilarious that nothing made sense.
it's been 4 years. i wonder what a re-vote on 2010 would yield. i bet red dead redemption would get the top spot. mass effect 2 might be tainted by mass effect 3. at least, it should be.
Destiny.
I've spent nearly every last minute of my free time playing it since release, and still can't get enough.
Remains to be seen if Smash, Far Cry 4 or Evil Within can take out the DR1/2 stranglehold... I have a hunch that Evil Within is the dark horse here, if it turns out to be Resident Evil 4 reborn its not going to be close.
I'm in for Far Cry 4, just because Troy Baker's performance looks unmissable (as usual), but if the gameplay is just Far Cry 3+ it won't even be close to a contender in my eyes. I'm so sick of the Ubiworld.
My anticipation for The Evil Within speaks for itself.
Personally, Im not sick of the Far Cry open world yet - moar Far Cry 3 with PS4 graphics and a stable framerate will be up enough for me. Agreed though that it probably doesnt merit a GotY.
Re: TEW - In Mikami We Trust. Resident Evil 4, God Hand, Vanquish... Lets see what he does when he's given free reign to just do whatever.
