The Last of Us wont win GOTY, and thou shalt tell yee why

Bioshock Infinite, BOOM.

I hate to break it to all ya Sony faithfuls out yonder, but Bioshock Infinite pretty much wipes it's ass with TLoU in more ways than one. Like TLoU is pretty great and all but it seems like people are just nostalging a bit over the fact that there hasn't been a third person survival horror-esque game like this since forever ago so they're goin a little crazy for it. The storytelling just isn't all that impressive. The central relationship between Joel and Ellie is the only real driving force behind it and the "guy n girl going it alone while slowly forming a close bond" type story was done much better in Enslaved: Odyssey To The West. Now Bioshock Infinite on the other hand, well storytelling just so happens to be one of it's strongest attributes.

TLoU's gameplay is pretty awesome, can't argue against that, but so is Infinite's. Now for the real ass-kicker, Infinite's Columbia totally trumps the ever loving shit out of TLoU's post-apocalyptic city. Hat is off to Naughty Dog for packing such an amazing amount of detail into it but at the end of the day it's still just another wrecked city, and that setting is way over used in video games these days. Columbia is totally fresh and original. There's nothing else quite like it in the video game medium. Also, and there's no way this can be debated, Elizabeth >>>>>>>>>>> Ellie as an AI partner. Ellie comes off as such a dumbass during gameplay while Liz seemed surprisingly intelligent for a NPC.

So to recap...

Story - Infinite wins by a landslide

Setting - Infinite wins by a landslide

AI - Infinite wins by a landslide

Gameplay - This one is a tough call. Infinite has better gunplay and combat no doubt, but everything else, TLoU does better. I'll let TLoU take this one.

So yeah, I really can't see GS giving the win to TLoU. It's just not on the same level as Infinite. BOOM.

the 8.0 might also have something to do with that.

That, or Dynasty Warriors 8.freedomfreak

Anyone who thinks TLOU will win GOTY on GS is going to be disappointed. It will be a multiplat this year.Bioshock Infinite and GTAV may get GS GOTY.

Shake's taste still confirmed to be poor.

Expected "because of Vanquish"MonsieurX

And yes also because Vanquish exists.

I beat it, I loved it, and I had a lot of fun with it.

How exactly does it winning or not winning GOTY make a difference?

I sincerely doubt that Mcshea's 8.0 is going to do much to destroy TLoU's shot at a GOTY nomination. Surely the other GSers don't share his opinion. Not to mention they would certainly take a lot of heat for excluding it.

Master_ShakeXXX

It's extremely rare for a game that got a 8 to win GOTY.It only happened once from what I recall. It won't happen this year.

Ni No Kuni made Kevin V cry = GOTY confirmed.

I know, but his opinion is in the minority.

I know what's NOT going to be GOTY.... a 360 exclusive.

story: the last of us>>>>>bioshock infinite

gameplay: the last of us>>>>>>bioshock infinite

atmosphere: the last of us>>>>>>bioshock infinite

graphics/artstyle: the last of us>>>>>>>bioshock infinite

replayability: the last of us>>>>>>>bioshock infinite

AI: toss up

so basically, i could not disagree with you more. bioshock infinite is inferior to the original in almost every single way. now i'm not saying TLOU will win GOTY, that will probably go to GTA, but bioshock most definitely will not.
