I can agree with the level design to an extent, but ground-breaking? GOTG? No way. Didn't push the boundaries like others did.
Just didn't click with me. SMW is my favorite in the series, but Galaxy? Nah.
I'd throw the DOTA2 and LoL players in there too. No EVO tournament ever filled the Staples Center.
As others mentioned, higher difficulty. Game changes quite a bit. I'm not a huge fan of stealth and I found myself engaged again. Knowing when to skip a fight is just as important as knowing when to start one.
I can watch this movie at any time. Javier Bardem is the truth.
I agree, I put something like 500 hours in SFA3, and it was immensely rewarding to dominate with multiple characters on a regular basis. Same with ME3, that feeling of mastery is addictive, and it's a shame that more games don't have a lot of content that equals your skill level at a higher difficulty.
because a lot of people might not get there

I don't wanna know how much money I've spent on all iterations of SF4, including the Gamepads/joysticks I've bought to pay for it
All those hours you could have used getting more swoll. Looking like a Bane field hand edition. Nat Turner looking motherfucker.

Just checked ME3, 196 hours, Top 3% for points.
Would've put more in if the servers didn't keep dropping me and my wife every 2-5 games.

I played SF4 Vanlla damn near every day since release. Same with all the other versions. I'm frightened to think of how many hours I've got.
And I had more fun as player 2 in Mario Galaxy than actually playing as Mario. Game was boring otherwise. Music was superb, though.

2400 hours. Damn.
BFBC2 was an enjoyable game that never failed to hand me my ass in multi.
Campaign was fun though.

I don't hate it. It's great. I just don't think it did anything generation defining. At least not for anyone that doesn't stan Nintendo.
Lemme be real here for a second with my GOTY list, in no particular order:
GTA V
Gunpoint
Rogue Legacy
Now I'm not saying what games I think "deserve" GOTY, just what games I enjoyed the most and which games kept pullin' me back in. That is seriously my entire list up there so far. I feel like I could keep playing Legacy regularly all year. Gunpoint is one of the most tightly-designed things I've played all year, and that game could blow up if the level editor community grows (Steam Workshop please). Infinite was just a pretty good first person shooter in my opinion, with a typical sci-fi story that could've been a decent look at social commentary.
GOTG? Same criteria. The games that I ended up playing and enjoying the most since circa 2005, in no particular order:
Uncharted 2
Demon's Souls
Call of Duty 4
Team Fortress 2
Mass Effect 1
Street Fighter 4
Super Mario Galaxy

How do you lose the legs on the ironing board? This brother got the board on the ground, squatting ironing his clothes

Those things are pretty cheaply made. The legs are just probably not very stable.

Yeah Ill give him that but he could at least laid it across a table or bed instead of squatting on the ground. In fact I wouldnt even came out in front of company with it lol

Also friend called landlord he's basically like "I'm not taking sides. You guys work it out. But contact me if the issue isn't dropped." Which is still good. Now me and my friend can basically torture one of the roomies because "he doesn't like company over." Why don't people like him just rent a solo apartment?

I put in 4hrs today for that double xp weekend. Just wanted to unlock Carbines and DMRs, which I did.

I did, but not all of them. I don't even like playing most of the roster. Doesn't help that I got buyer's remorse after buying one of T.Hawk's alts and realizing it looked like shit. And the alt of his I didn't buy actually looks like he rolled around in shit. =|

I am back BlackGAF. And I apologize you see I felt very strongly about pit bull breeds. I love them they are my favorites. And seeing a community of people just slandering the breed really upsetted me and made me tick. So sorry again.

I noticed the OT is the place where most people get exiled from this site, which is funny since you would think teh gaming section would. Especially at this time of the next gen transition.
wait for a "betrayalton" they get dropped quickly during those. dont think there will be many during this gen

it didn't even matter either since the game was crap.
same goes for mgs4. might as well have ported that to 360. it sucked ass.
the so called holy grails that sony couldn't lose were some of it's weakest exclusives (well if FF 13 were exclusive it would be)

MGS4 gets too much hate. Say what you will about the story but the gameplay was fun.
Still more fun than GTA4 was, it was still my goty but it was one of the weakest in the series. It's all relative. I really didn't like how antiquated some parts of the game were, namely the enter a door and fast travel somewhere else. It didn't feel that free. When I was in shadow moses, I could travel all the way back to the where the game started if I wanted to. MGS4 was a little too ambitious for it's own good. All the issues I had with 4 aside from the story seem to be fixed with the phantom pain.
some of them... (._. )
some of them... (._. )
the virtua fighter 5 one was so much better. people that didnt give a shit either way were getting pissed off and banned. it was a sign of the times.

Once the senior roommate left my friend was going to be the lease holder and the other two freaked out, one followed the landlord outside and specifically asked that they all be lease holders. So they are. Both of the roomies drafted up some "roommate agreement" paper weeks ago, that my friend never signed. Put it next to the official landlord papers too as if it was something other than something they just drafted up without any input from the other roommates. It was about how if a majority of roommates agreed someone should be kicked out they'd leave. They never aired anything to my friend about any problems to her face, of course.
Then on Halloween my friend's roommates texts her a "30 day notice and that the landlord has been notified." Basically some passive aggressive shit on their end came to a head but their timing was so dumb and so were the tactics. They're not the landlord, they have no power to evict anyone and they pulled this stunt after a new lease had been signed by all of the current tenants. They each had over a year at this point to contact and maintain a relationship with the Landlord (which of course they have never done till HE came over), and talk to him before just up and signing new leases if they really felt uncomfortable with her. But no, these people don't operate like adults.
One of them absolutely hates that she's social, "doesn't agree with her lifestyle" and thinks she "hogs the living room." The living room basically has her stuff in it and that's where she works sometimes. He moved his shit into his room and stays in there. Basically this dude is pissy he has roommates and should just get an apartment for himself.
Today she called the Landlord since he was available to talk and specifically said "I don't know what they're telling you but I'm not moving out." He basically took the road of what I thought would happen, that a new lease had just been signed, if people want to move out of their own accord whatever but he's not going out of his way to kick anyone out.
There's not enough specific words to drive home the point that like everything they've done so far is so incredibly dumb and immature on top of being fucked up in general.
I take back what I said about living with gaffers. Sounds like she lives with Republicans.

Also the dude basically takes out loans to pay "girlfriends" to come out here then basically gets dumped and still pays for some of their shit or even their rent.

I told her that her and her beau plus me + TD should just make out on the couch next time we're over at her place.
In the end, it all came down to the fact that I wanted to play a game that wasn't what TLoU ended up being. It's not so much how often you shoot (I was greatly exaggerating when I listed those numbers...I thought that was obvious but feel I need to call it out) but more about how many times you go to a new area, spot 20 or so waist-high cover spots, and then have to take out a small platoon of enemy bandits/soldiers.
I got bored of that type of gameplay in Uncharted and expected that TLoU was Naughty Dog's game to push back against that style of design...not fall in line with it, yet again.
I mean... I had more fun with Tomb Raider but I can say that TLoU was a better game all-around by a long shot even though I didn't particularly enjoy it as much.

I was suprised by the new Tomb Raider. Bought it when it was on sale and I was having a good time. It's an ok game.
TLoU was kind of okay when I was watching it. Not as fun as watching Uncharted though.

Yea, nothing amazing but still had a pretty good time with it. I honestly would like Uncharted to take some ideas from it. It also looks fantastic on pc.
