Please don't let GTA V win
You know it's going to happen, game is barely over a month old and still has a lot of hype around it. Plus, it's GTA.

Tomb Raider is a recap of all the gameplay and cinematic gimmicks of the generation.
So... not a single Japanese game?

This is Rockstar's world
If GTA V wins and RDR wins it is a Rock* vs. Rock* final
Come on Naughty Dog, you can do it!
I dont think Skyrim has a chance against GTA V. GTA V way too fresh in the minds of those what, 12-15 million who bought it?
Would be funny if it was GTA V vs. The Last of Us. Since they will also be fighting it out for GOTY 2013.

They decided to choose only one game from each possible series, hence why there's no Demon's Souls as well.

Bayonetta lost to Dark Souls?
Xenoblade lost to Tomb Raider?
Super Mario Galaxy lost to the first Mass Effect?
Vanquish not even listed?

Well, I agree with the Dark Souls part. For me, it was one of the best games of this generation. Bayonetta was good too, but like Devil May Cry, it's way too twitchy for me.

Do they even hold these for another purpose than to fuel their own console wars sub-forum?

Bayonetta was too niche.
Xenoblade only on Wii.
SMG lost to the entire Mass Effect saga
Vanquish has only gameplay (and no matter how amazing it is, it's not enough. You need memorable design, set pieces and characters)

I've played and beaten the four games up for the final vote and while they were all great games only one of them even begins to reach the level that GAF hype puts it on.
And it's not TLOU lol
Ha, if this roster proves anything it's that gameplay doesn't have to be amazing like at all for a game to stick around in people's minds. It just has to be passing + polished and of course the most important element ACCORDING TO GAMERS - it must be backed with tons of presentational splendor

No Portal, Mario Galaxy, or D. Souls games is pretty disappointing, although not surprising.
Haha I didn't notice that, although I almost never think of games in terms of what country made them. Mainly referring to:

The final round is Skyrim vs. The Last of Us

Skyrim? What a joke.
Last of us was a decent game but nowhere near deserving of the title. People have short memories.

Wow Skyrim beat gta v.
I was extremely disappointed with gta v, but it's still miles better than Skyrim.
At least the last of us will win.

I bet if GTA V would've gotten a PC release, Skyrim would have lost for sure. Well as PS3 gamer I have to chose TLOU over Skyrim because *gulp* i played the PS3 version of Skyrim.

Yeah people like you have short memories. TLOU definitely deserves the win! GOTG!

Sky rim was a great game but doesn't deserve game of the gen. This is a silly process anyway. Apples oranges etc - this generation had so much more to offer than is represented by this tournament

Agreed. I do think Skyrim shocked the gaming community more than GTAV though. We knew what we were getting with GTAV (no matter how awesome).
The Last of Us is easily game of the generation, having played literally every game on this list as far as I can tell.

GTA V is not as not as recognizable/rememberable as people seem to think. It will be forgotten soon. The Last of Us, however will remain in our minds a while longer for several reasons, mainly to do with plot and characters, but also because the cutscene/story parts actually acknowledges what is happening during the gameplay, unlike GTA V.
The world in GTA V doesn't react to the player killing 100 cops during a mission. If that happened in real life, you'd see cops driving around in tanks instead of cars pretty soon. In before "it's a game, the devs have to make a few shortcuts to make it fun". No, that won't cut it. If I want a game that's just a game for the sake of being fun I'll just play Mario Bros 3 which was released 25 years ago. Games like GTA which is trying its hardest to be a crime simulator should portray the life of a criminal in a more realistic light.
I'm mainly talking about the archaic, outdated, stupid and unrealistic shooting sequences of the game. The game doesn't need these sections, and it totally destroys the immersion when the protagonist can take 20 rounds to chest and kill 40 henchmen without breaking a sweat while bleeding from several bulletholes in the torso. Why am I blaming GTAV for this instead of the gazillion other generic shooters out there? Well, GTA V got a 97 metascore and sold like 30 million copies in a month. With great power comes great responsibility.
GTA V is a mighty fine game, but it does very little new with the story or the gameplay. San Andreas did all the same stuff in 2004, and will be remembered as the game that perfected the sandbox genre. GTA V can't be remembered for what its predecessor already did.

Am I the only one around here who spent more than 80 hours on Skyrim and litterally loved it ?
No. I loved it. Some people couldn't get over the combat, some could. Those that can enjoyed an amazing experience. Those that couldn't didn't.
The fact that skyrim made it to the finale is pretty depressing, the game does heaps of things but none of them well. I also actually think if we stay with Bethesda games, Fallout 3 is better. But yeah those things always come down to a popularity contest, so the games that were played by the majority of people will always have an big advantage over games that were only played by a handful.
Look, it's two remarkably overrated games battling it out. Why am I not surprised?
I have a hard time choosing simply because I don't know which I like more. Sure, they're both great games, but I hardly feel either of them are GOTG. Neither of them did anything that new or exciting.

man i do not understand why people hate on skyrim. it was a magical game. i loved it.
but don't fear, TLoU will win because it's in people minds most recently and was a fresh franchise that did splendidly.
