I'd like to take a moment to say I miss being young enough to have the will (and the general lack of common sense) to get involved with young slightly unstable goth chicks. God college was fun.

On that note, I'd like to add:

  • Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition

And I'd say Shovel Knight, Guacamelee: STCE, or Mario Kart 8 would all get votes from me.

It's not even a contest anymore. Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition already won GOTY 2014 back in January.

Shovel Knight

and, no

Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition

doesn't count. It's just a pimped version, not an original entry. (unless I am comically ill-informed).

I thought the consensus on that was that it was a husk game -- same name, but underlings made it.

And I'd say Shovel Knight,  would all sluts for me.

It had some new content and never appeared on the Wii U before. It's new to me. It's new dammit, fuck you!!! NEW NEW NEW.

Now pardon me while I go troll the high-school parking lot with cigarettes, wine coolers, and Wii U's in search of girls with daddy issues.

Maybe this topic will help alleviate the typical "I played this more recently and remember it better" tendancy to make year end games, GOTY's. Now we have a half-way mark to judge better!

Would you like to borrow my windowless van? It has a shag carpeted interior.

Those tend to stand out too much these days. My mini-van with collapsable seats and heavily tinted windows works just fine.

Still better than anything that has come out this year.

If they stated ONE particular game as their clear GOTY so far, I would just put that. If they didn't differentiate, I put 'em all... Not like one person can vote for one game more than once, anyway. It's nothing too formal anyway. Just seeing what's GOTY worthy in people's eyes and what's not!
