TLOU the clear winner, not a big surprise. The only surprise is by how much TLOU won over GTAV.

LOL.

Where did Brothers win at?

Only thing I'm surprised by is Stanley Parable not taking it out somewhere.

Brothers got mentioned in top tens, I don't know who would have given it GOTY.

Stanley... please. It's Antichamber for dumb people.

How is Stanley a puzzle game for dumb people when its not a puzzle game at all?

I did not say it was a puzzle game, but I guess in comparing it to Antichamber that is a logical conclusion.

Antichamber and Stanley Parable both rely on bullshit mime-art. Is up really up? Or is it down? Who is to say? *smoke bomb*

But at least Antichamber has puzzles.  Stanley P. has humour going for it though.

Not really surprising.  TLoU feels like a  freshexperience, while GTA is really well made, but feels pretty stale at the moment.

I don't think Brothers is goty material, but I'd still like to play the whole game.  The demo was pretty fun.

It's only real problem is pacing. They front-load the first 2/3rd with really mundane gameplay, then unlock a bunch of cool mechanisms in the last third, including one moment that ties the story and gameplay together, which is where it hits the peak.  Then the last 20-30 minutes is like the end of BioShock Infinite, just lots of walking while listening to a story.

They lean on the gimmick way too hard in the first 2/3rds without any reward whatsoever.

Last of Us would probably win. Especially if we do the voting in June, when pretty much anyone has the chance to play it! I won't be doing the GoTy award. Hardly played any games!

Metacritics:

GTAV: 97

The Last of Us: 95.

Videogame critics: fucking ridiculous.

Asassin's Creed IV winning a GOTY is almost as hilarious as Brothers winning one.

Also, that list isn't "ALL MEDIA even weird sites you've never heard of".
