To me is incredible how fanboys can force a game that's not even from this year nor part of the conversation into the conversation. That's like me saying "would breath of the wild be goty this year" hell yeah it would, it's a bigger achievement than the last of us 2. #StopFanboyism

 

[Sub_Level]

Dread was outstanding & I had a ton of fun with Village. But yeah I'd say TLOU2 would still be my goty if it came out this year. There's nothing like exploring those rainy Seattle streets, you can feel the chilly wind through your screen. They greatly expanded on the little optional areas you could go to as well.

The only real aspect of TLOU2 that hasn't aged well for me is those first couple hours where everything is hyper linear & there's barely any game mechanics besides rudimentary stealth. But its a cinematic Naughty Dog game so of course its gonna be like that.

relax, its just a game. Why you have to be mad.

 

[GasTheWeebs]

sadly yes

 

[CrimsonSquall]

The last of us 2 is trash , Keep that shit in 2020, we moved on already. No one talks about that game anymore, just people trying to convince themselves about the game being some sort of achievement.

You’re coping so hard and for y

 

[Ammogeddon]

Yeah it would win. Love it or hate it.

I genuinely hate the last of us 2

The meltdowns caused by TLOU are always on another level.

 

[killatopak]

RE8 is my goty even if TLOU2 releases in 2021.

I’m a big RE fan though.

Not meltdown honestly, just disbelief about how bad are people's standards when it comes to story telling and actual stories just because it has great graphics, basically a shiny turd.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

easy, imo this year wasn't bad, many good games like hitman 3, re8, ratchet, returnal, kena, fh5, fc6, judgment, guardians, d2r but lack of 10/10 contenders

Story is subjective so I will not debate that but the gameplay is also a massive improvement on the first.

The gameplay is nothing special but it "looks cool". The animators, motion capture studio and programmers are the real heroes, yet they're not even mentioned when people talk about why they like this game.

 

[Warnen]

Nope, halo map beta is more fun then TloU2 and I dislike mp games and usually love naughty dog stuff. TLoU2 was a well made disaster, don’t care much of poorly told misery simulators.

"not a meltdown"

 

[Bartski]

Gotta love how people say that that nobody is talking about this game, while talking about this game

 

[Spukc]

The last of us 2 did to story telling what

mario 64 did to gameplay.

it was revolutionary.

And games like that are really rare..

You have to be a fucking idiot to not recognize what tlou2 did better then any other game in story telling and animation.

even if you think the story is shit.

 

[xrnzaaas]

It wouldn't get my vote, I didn't like it and I'm not planning on replaying it in the future (I've finished TLoU1 multiple times).

It's a weak year overall, but my vote would go to Lost Judgment or Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart.

Best tps gameplay in the genre

It's a game with an entire subreddit dedicated to hating it yet nobody is talking about it.

Yeah, the graphics were outstanding, but the game play was what made it really great.

 

[HTK]

Deathloop was actually nominated?

I didn’t like what happened and I felt genuinely depressed playing the game but even beside me having those feelings I have to give it at bare minimum a 9. The dread fit within the world and it took some serious balls to do what they did.

 

[carlosrox]

TLOU2 is a great game. The hate is idiotic, and I understand the game definitely has some cringe in it, but it's beside the point. It's still an awesome game.

As much as I love Dread and RE8 I'd probably give the nod to TLOU2.

It's not even about what happened. It's the whole thing starting from making Ellie unlikable as f, Abby's father was THAT npc, really???... The structure of the story, Ellie literally slaughters everyone and then at the end she has a change of heart... and I can keep going. Abby is not even the problem of the game. Just a trash story overall that people are praising because the gameplay is supposedly special.

 

[Topher]

because the gameplay is supposedly special.

Supposedly? So you watched someone else play it?

 

[ResetEraVetVIP]

This is BS.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

People are going to have to face the fact that Abby isnt sleeping under their bed first.

The game needs a directors cut or something. It’s too intense to replay. Can’t wait for multiplayer.

 

[Hugare]

Its a great game but I don't see how it competes with the creativity of most of the other games there tbh. What does TLOU2 do fundamentally different gameplay wise from 1?

Village for me definitely, what a fun and creative game that was. All enemy types were great fun to fight and the animations are fucking spectacular, just as good as TLOU2 but in a different way. Japanese games don't go in for a million motion blended animations, they focus on making sure its really really fun instead.

Saying that TLOU > TLOU 2 lacked inovation in terms of gameplay and at the same time praising Village which is basically a RE VII reskin in terms of gameplay is definitely an odd opinion

 

[ResetEraVetVIP]

TLOU II is a masterpiece...Its probably the biggest achevement in gaming.

I disagree Ass. Modern ND (Uncharted/TLoU) excel in spite of their game play IMO. I’ve read other people’s comments who like the gameplay also, so clearly it appeals to some, but for me it is floaty. I preferred the third person gameplay in A Plague Tale.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

For a Horizon 5 is my GOTY this year. Not much else really captured my attention this far.

Actually I think Monster Hunter Rise is my GOTY.

 

[slade]

Where's Forza? Isn't that the best scoring exclusive this year?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Yes for me. I love Returnal and RE8 but TLOU2 was 1step higher in my book

 

[Mattyp]

Microsoft drops a few amazing games back to back that aren’t even listed, but holllddddd up TLoU2 is still the 2021……

what the fuck is this thread?

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Ratchet and Clank was way better than TLOU2 IMO

 

[captainraincoat]

No
Guardians of the galaxy is a much better game

 

[Lognor]

I still haven't played it. So hopefully I'll know next year, assuming it comes up pc

 

[Jennings]

Monster Hunter Rise.

Why do people keep forgetting to put this game on their lists? It's the best game of 2021 thus far, and deserves to be recognized as such.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

TLOU and every single Uncharted has always played like ass to me. Well U4 played decently. Was just so boring

TLOU2 was such a shocking step up though. It felt amazing to play. Abbie was so fun as well.

Trash poll, no options for A Link to the Past or Final Fantasy VII.

No, it is NOT like BOTW because BOTW is universally loved unlike TLOU2. Especially on this board. TLOU2 is polarizing. It was voted out in like the first bracket in the Game of the Generation vote just last year.

All you had to do was read the OP. The reasoning for this thread is all there. But nope, you had to go get triggered immediately at the thread title and have a 4 post meltdown in a thread you couldnt care less about. Stop fanboyism indeed.

I haven't played a game since TLOU 2 has been as good as TLOU 2 to me. Just a remarkable game.

Same here. Naughty Dog's games tend to have this effect on me as well. The only game that will top an ND game is the next ND game for me.

It’s on pc
