I won't lie, I haven't played GTA V. But as it stands right now, it is the highest game on metacritic with a 98 (GTA IV is ahead right now, only because the user reviews haven't been submitted) Numerous reviewers have prided GTA V with introducing new mechanics, and improving on the existing ones. It has gotten a lot of perfect scores. So, what is your opinion, can it compete with the other games (presumably the Last of Us)

Except it won't. TLOU has got that square perfectly covered, and my personal favourite of the year, Bioshock: Infinite will be runner-up.

All GTA V ultimately boils down to is more of the same but in higher-res.

Bioshock Infinite

Seeing as how it's the only one I played and the only one that is currently on PC my vote obviously goes to Bioshock: Infinite (assuming there's even a vote for this at all). :P

Perhaps you should actually play GTA V first before claiming that it's the best game of the year and spreading the hype. As it stands now you're just being a good little puppy and listening to the reviews like they want you to. Here's a tip: start off thinking a game is bad and go from there. If it turns out good, then great, if not... well, at least you won't hang yourself. ^_^

Okay, so you aren't voting on your favorite game, you are voting on the only one you have played. I listen to reviews because I can hear highs and lows. You really are just a butthurt PC fanboy who can't deal with not playing it so they freak out every time they can't play a game. Get over it.

Yes, because voting for best game of the year based on reviews and hype rather than, I dunno, personal opinion about it, is so the way to go! Screw personal preference, we're a hive mind now!

That a game is not on PC is the game devs' own problem, but if they want my vote, they have to actually make it available for me. Did you even read anything I wrote after the PC part? What, you think I treat PC games any differently? Start off at "yeah, it looks pretty but so does everything else nowadays" and go from there to justify its existence. Reviews are just as likely to be affected by lies, hype and personal preferences as everything else, they are written by people after all. Trust them if you want, but with a grain of salt until you can confirm it yourself. But, sure, if you wanna go on like this, then be my guest. I'll still express my opinion about the matter. :D

I have played the game, picked it up yesterday. And the reviewers were true. Why would I not watch a review? So I can see a game that looks, "interesting" but not sure if it is something that would appeal to me. So yes. I will believe them.

Don't want to sound like a console fag but I'm seeing lots of people are mad just because they didn't announce a pc version so that's the origin of the hate.

I can´t say it often enough but I HATE the review/critic-scene at the moment. Way too many perfect scores and if a game gets 5-6/10 it´s garbage.

I mean why would you give a shitty game an ABOVE average score? I get that many reviewers give perfect scores to show that they really like and recommend a game but NO game is perfect. Perfect scores are used way too much.

But that´s just my opinion and BTT: If they make a decent PC-Port they may actually earn GOTY :P

Not only perfect scores... all those 0s coz someone didn't like a game. A game can be not so great but 0 isn't a serious critic.

GTA is totally overrated.

Well, it has already broken sales records. Day one its already sold enough for it to make over 800 million. Would be double that probably if they released it on PC on the same day.

However that still does not mean a game of the year award. Time will tell if the game is worth it or not. I wont be too shocked if it does end up winning that though.

Diablo 3 broke sales records... lol. Sales has nothing to do with a games quality if there is enough hype and past success to inflate its success.

Game of the Year according to whom?

Any random website, magazine, etc. can award any game their "Game of the Year title.

Look at Dead Island "GOTY", it was given GOTY by some guy on a small time blog. Tada! Insta-Game of the Year.

So, what I mean "GOTY" is subjective, and no doubt several sites/magazines will call GTA V their "GOTY".

I don't get the hate here. People who did not played it are complaining just because they want. And there we have the Console haters. Rockstar is free to do whatever they want with their game, releasing it to PC or not. If not, what's the problem? You don't get to play it? Then buy a console. You don't want a console, or you hate it? Then don't buy it and stop complaining.
I have to say, I love the game. It has new mechanics, better graphics, more everything. You can do whatever you want in there. There's a lot of stuff going on in the city, that feels so real... It deserves a 10, just in my opinion, they did an amazing job with it.
You are free to say what you want of course, everyone has an opinion, but don't complain if you didn't played it or just because you read reviews... reviews are not helpful, everyone has a different opinion. The best you can do is do your own judgement.

No way GTA V can be game of the year. I did a submarine mission yesterday, and the fish did not even move out of the way. It clearly needs better fish AI to become goty.

I don't think so. It's gonna have fierce competition from the Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite. Definitely gonna a nominee, but I doubt it will win.

So far, it's been more entertaining than most of the games I've played this year, so it might be for me.

I played The Last of Us, and considering I think that was one of the best games ever made. I would be very surprised if GTA V could bring me that sort of satisfaction. However, I have not played the game, but I don't hear talk about it being one of the best games ever made, and The Last of Us has that coming out the ying-yang.
