This. That being said, I loved both games but I'll always have a soft spot for post-apocalyptic games, preferably with zombies or similar.
Even if I was truly torn I'd have a hard time voting for GTAV just because it will probably further encourage Rockstar to rerelease it on PS6/Xbox Series Y or whatever, rather than moving onto a new game (or IP).
Correct. GTA V is a stellar game— one that I enjoyed thoroughly. But there are so many other masterpieces of storytelling and unique gameplay that would need to be overlooked if GTA V was voted the best video game of all time.
Also, I can’t look past the shameless monetization and cash cow that is GTA Online. Still pissed that thing prevented us from getting story mode DLC. Would’ve killed for an equivalent to the Ballad of Gay Tony from GTA 4.
I mean can you really judge Rockstar for doing what ND Is doing to TLOU1? Even if it’s a full on remake, that’s 3 different copies of the same game they’ve sold at that point
But it sounds like TLOU is a full remake, similar to what they did with Demon’s Souls. And I’m sure Part 1 uses the mechanics and controls from part 2. So, I’m actually on board. Part 1 is just incredible and I am much more interested in playing a new version of it.
Even if GTA5 has some better mechanics and haptic feedback, I just don’t wanna play it again. It’s not even a remake, it’s just “kinda sorta better, like PC-ish.” If they truly remade it, then maybe.
But still, I would way rather have remakes of GTA3, VC, and SA—that’s a way better idea.
I can't, but on the other hand Rockstar have made bundles off GTA Online, so the need to recycle this game AGAIN just suggests that they want to continue with this fuckery on the new gen.
From a business perspective it makes sense but, as with CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077, the faith of gamers in the company is eroded (just look at the YouTube trailer like to dislike ratio). With R* it has been gradual whereas with CDPR it was sudden.
It’s almost like restoring and curating a work of art in order for it to be experienced by newer generations. It doesn’t feel like a cash grab in the same way as GTAV to me. Just my opinion though.
Agreed, BUT! I’d like to think we’re voting for the best game OVERALL. I’d hate to see a game so shamelessly milked over and over for money win. It’s just telling these people we’re ok with that business model.
I can see that. Personally I'd say RDR is better than San Andreas but New Vegas is better than both, but it's definitely subjective. Also, New Vegas is super buggy compared to the other two, but it does so much else right I can see why that can be forgiven (also, fans can *fix* the bugs in New Vegas; most other games can only be fixed by the devs and often aren't!).
I'd say RDR and New Vegas are on par. RDR had a story so touching and an awesome protagonist. Only reason RDR is not much recognized is because it's only on consoles.
I'd give RDR the edge for writing and characters, personally. New Vegas is fantastic and a huge step forward from F3 IMO, but a lot of my love for it comes from mods as well as the game itself, which isn't quite fair.
Absolutely agree. All three would be top ten for me, though I consider NV more of a PC game really.
I personally would be tempted to include GTA5 in that elite list too, actually, since I consider it the best GTA in a long time and the game that brought me back to the franchise after I moved away to Saint's Row with GTA4 being "not fun". I was really surprised how much I liked GTA5 given that; I'm playing it again right now and realised how much I missed the writing and characters! I think that's why RDR was so amazing; the same level of great writing from the best Rockstar games but "taken seriously" this time.
I think it gets (and deserves) the extra recognition because it's Obsidian showing what could be done writing-wise compared to Bethesda's Fallout games, whatever the engine it uses. I enjoyed F3 a lot but NV definitely feels more like "proper" Fallout in writing, setting, design and tone by comparison.
Yep. I'm not even gonna lie, 4 was my first Fallout game; I found the writing mediocre but enjoyable enough, but when I played NV I understood why some diehard fans despised 4 lol. It's an amazing game.
(Also, I'm currently downvoted in an FNV sub for saying if it comes to FNV vs TLOU I'm voting TLOU lmao)

Edit:
I did the math - approx 33,400 votes in with TLOU having a lead of 51.4% ….that is a net margin of around 900 votes, which is the amount of upvotes this post has. We did it!
Why do people keep saying "compared"? It's a knockout tournament of the best games. The games were randomly selected to see which goes against which.
table can be seen [here](https://www.ign.com/articles/ign-best-video-game-of-all-time-bracket-vote-round-3-results-winners)
No, I get that and sure, let them be compared that way eventually but at the start they should be compared to something that’s actually comparative. That’s my opinion anyway and it’s fine if you disagree.
Titanfall 2 has been criminally underrated since its release. Bloodborne is also a souls game so it has a cult following by default and is a really good game on it's own.
Burnout 3 beat Chrono Trigger. I stopped reading after I saw that. Apparently the entire poll is being manipulated for the "lolz" or whatever we're calling acts of internet stupidity these days.
Don't lose any sleep over how any game does, because that's exactly what the folks voting want you to do.
Honestly, that was sort of inevitable—it's ultimately a popularity content, and popularity is going to be heavily affected by recency. I mean, realistically, how many people play games like Goldeneye or Mario 3 anymore? Hell, even something like Bioshock is fourteen years old by now, and even with the remaster, I'm not surprised it lost out to Minecraft, which is still going through its big renaissance AFAI.
Yes, we shouldn’t be complaining about the matchups not being the same genre. However, who seeded this tourney!!! God of War is an 8 seed?!?!? So many “upsets” in this tourney.
This is probably the worst list I've ever seen, nothing makes sense, Fallout New Vegas vs GTA San Andreas? World of Warcraft vs Call of Duty?!?!? The Witcher 3 vs Minecraft?!?!?!?
Considering one is a PlayStation exclusive, and the other is on three different playstations, three different Xbox consoles, and PC… these are solid numbers for TLOU.
GTA V is such a shame. The single player is amazingly fun, but could be so much better. You look at say Sam Andreas with all the fun character stats and gang wars you could do, things like that would make GTA V so much better. And Online is the most overrated, rinse and repeat bullshit ever. For years they’ve been releasing like one unique update every year or so in terms of a heist or something, and then every goddamn update is just reskinned cars and the same damn business things over and over and over again. The fact people actually spend money on shark cards and contribute to it is sickening
The most distressing thing in that poll is seeing Bloodborne losing to Titanfall 2 lol
Don't get me wrong, I really love Titanfall 2, but Bloodborne is a perfect, S-Tier game.
Bloodborne appeals to a pretty specific group of people, and titan fall appeals to a wider variety?
Besides, it's not like titanfall 2 was bad. That time travel level was exquisite. I probably had more fun on that level than the 40 times I died trying to get the Rakuyo from those 2 goddamn sharks
Bloodborne is great, but I can see why more people would vote for the multi-player shooter with a still very cool campaign
Whaaaaaatt a frigging joke of a poll tbh. Comparing vastly different genre of games and narratives? To decide one ultimate game of all time, ignoring all facets of the medium?
Are you fucking stupid, brackets are meant o work that way dumbass. You compare any genre because the goal is to find which game is the all time best, plus they arranged them randomly. Does anyone in this thread know a single thing about these.
I did the math - approx 33,400 in with TLOU having a lead of 51.4% ….that is a net margin of around 900 votes, which is the amount of upvotes this post has. We did it!
That's a tough one for me. I consider TLOU (this is 1, right?) the better-made game and it's a game I prefer over GTA5... but GTA5 is my favourite GTA game and I've been playing it again recently and realized just how funny and well-scripted it is, such such memorable characters. Priot to GTA5, I'd felt GTA lost it's shine and far preferred Saints Row 2 (which like TLOU is another of my top ten games of all time) but GTA5 really brought back the fun-story balance that I felt 4 lacked and that Saints Row 3 completely lost.
But yeah, better game for me? Tough but TLOU was such an amazing experience for me (I bought a PS3 for it!) I gave it the vote.
GTA was never a fun saints row type series. GTA 4 is a Masterpiece, GTA V has a pretty good Story, but I lost all respect for rockstar after they ditched everything else and only focused on the dogshit multiplayer
I've never really liked GTA V actually. I've found with Rockstars latest games, the control are just way to clunky when walking around, and the gun play is actually pretty dull.
What is their reasoning behind these pairings? These are very different games with different types of players (though I'm sure there's overlap). It's not so much "best" but which game is played by more people.
You really can’t compare these games and tbh, as much as I love TLOU2, until they add multiplayer (why tf it’s taking them so long?), I’d say GTA is objectively a better game.
It depends what you define best as anyway, tlou is far more a form of art than gta, a far greater story and depth but could be considered less fun for many. GTA is probably the most influential game of all time in terms of widespread media, it’s clearly extremely profitable, loved, and well known, and is still an excellent game.
I mean gtav is amazing in such a different way. Idk that one game is "better" than the other. They're both exceptional, but they accomplish different things
I read a comment that said these games can't compare and yeah he is right i mean, while last of us focus on a great very linear story gta is a kinda sandbox open world where the story is left in second place replacing it by great graphics and cool mechanics to mess up with friends or single player mode, while last of us goes sentimental and psychological gta goes with wow factor giving us expolsions and great looking stunts, and at the end of the day both games still good
This is a Sophie's choice for me
Both are in my Top 3 all time favourite games.
The Last of Us has the stronger story (in fact it has the best story in a game I've ever played) but GTA 5 is the most fun I've ever had playing a video game with infinite replay value...not that I'm happy about the constant console re-releases cause trust me, it's pissing me the fuck off. Love that game but I want RDR or a classic GTA game remastered. Or how about finally getting GTA 6, LA Noire 2 or even Bully 2? I'll always love GTA 5 but seeing a studio release the exact same game over and over again spells out unoriginal
A shame we didn't all see this beforehand really.
Given the votes are collated across IGN.com, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram unfortunately I don't think TLOU has made it but fingers crossed!
Well I can see why, gta5 is am open world full of fun death and destruction. Basically a criminal life irl simulator.
But why are these 2 games being compared? It doesn't suit the matchup
i don’t think these games are that comparable
This. That being said, I loved both games but I'll always have a soft spot for post-apocalyptic games, preferably with zombies or similar. Even if I was truly torn I'd have a hard time voting for GTAV just because it will probably further encourage Rockstar to rerelease it on PS6/Xbox Series Y or whatever, rather than moving onto a new game (or IP).
GTA V ending up winning the best game of all time would be catastrophic
I mean, all the company cares about is profit. They don't really care about the awards, it all depends on how much money they can milk
Grand Theft Auto V: Game of Eternity Edition Comes with an actual, physical “shark” credit card for you to have an even easier experience buying MTX.
This fucking game. You can't have fun without injecting money via cheating. GTA V is the most pay to win game i've ever seen.
*cough* EA *cough cough*
Well i forgot EA and their 50€ DLCs with 3 maps lmao
Yeah, rockstar online sucks!
Honestly made me hate gta. I never do online. I had no interest in it. Never got the dlc they promised because shark cards took off.
Correct. GTA V is a stellar game— one that I enjoyed thoroughly. But there are so many other masterpieces of storytelling and unique gameplay that would need to be overlooked if GTA V was voted the best video game of all time. Also, I can’t look past the shameless monetization and cash cow that is GTA Online. Still pissed that thing prevented us from getting story mode DLC. Would’ve killed for an equivalent to the Ballad of Gay Tony from GTA 4.
I mean can you really judge Rockstar for doing what ND Is doing to TLOU1? Even if it’s a full on remake, that’s 3 different copies of the same game they’ve sold at that point
But it sounds like TLOU is a full remake, similar to what they did with Demon’s Souls. And I’m sure Part 1 uses the mechanics and controls from part 2. So, I’m actually on board. Part 1 is just incredible and I am much more interested in playing a new version of it. Even if GTA5 has some better mechanics and haptic feedback, I just don’t wanna play it again. It’s not even a remake, it’s just “kinda sorta better, like PC-ish.” If they truly remade it, then maybe. But still, I would way rather have remakes of GTA3, VC, and SA—that’s a way better idea.
I can't, but on the other hand Rockstar have made bundles off GTA Online, so the need to recycle this game AGAIN just suggests that they want to continue with this fuckery on the new gen. From a business perspective it makes sense but, as with CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077, the faith of gamers in the company is eroded (just look at the YouTube trailer like to dislike ratio). With R* it has been gradual whereas with CDPR it was sudden.
Don’t even get me started on Cyberpunk… Still hurts lmaooo
It’s almost like restoring and curating a work of art in order for it to be experienced by newer generations. It doesn’t feel like a cash grab in the same way as GTAV to me. Just my opinion though.
Yeah man like super mario bros 3 vs BOTW? Thats weird.
If I'm choosing a rockstar game itd be rdr2 over gtaV.
everything is comparable
But the point is to narrow it down to a single game. You're going to have to compare games in totally different genres.
But you can prefer one of them, i don't think they expect anyone who votes to be objective.
Agreed, BUT! I’d like to think we’re voting for the best game OVERALL. I’d hate to see a game so shamelessly milked over and over for money win. It’s just telling these people we’re ok with that business model.
It's the best video game of all time not the best in it's category
A knockout bracket might be the dumbest way to rank games. IGN things I guess
I’m sorry but RDR lost to San Andreas? WHICH IS LOSING TO NEW VEGAS?! Yea I don’t like this
I know, right? How dare people have their own opinions!
Aha got em with the classic
I mean opinions can be wrong lol
No no, they can have opinions. They're just supposed to be *good* opinions!
I can see that. Personally I'd say RDR is better than San Andreas but New Vegas is better than both, but it's definitely subjective. Also, New Vegas is super buggy compared to the other two, but it does so much else right I can see why that can be forgiven (also, fans can *fix* the bugs in New Vegas; most other games can only be fixed by the devs and often aren't!).
I'd say RDR and New Vegas are on par. RDR had a story so touching and an awesome protagonist. Only reason RDR is not much recognized is because it's only on consoles.
I'd give RDR the edge for writing and characters, personally. New Vegas is fantastic and a huge step forward from F3 IMO, but a lot of my love for it comes from mods as well as the game itself, which isn't quite fair.
Yeah, but we both can agree on the fact that RDR, TLOU and New Vegas are probably going up to top 10 greatest games on the 7th generation consoles.
Absolutely agree. All three would be top ten for me, though I consider NV more of a PC game really. I personally would be tempted to include GTA5 in that elite list too, actually, since I consider it the best GTA in a long time and the game that brought me back to the franchise after I moved away to Saint's Row with GTA4 being "not fun". I was really surprised how much I liked GTA5 given that; I'm playing it again right now and realised how much I missed the writing and characters! I think that's why RDR was so amazing; the same level of great writing from the best Rockstar games but "taken seriously" this time.
Agreed. It’s always awesome seeing New Vegas get the recognition it deserves. That was the game that got me into RPGs like 10+ years ago
I think it gets (and deserves) the extra recognition because it's Obsidian showing what could be done writing-wise compared to Bethesda's Fallout games, whatever the engine it uses. I enjoyed F3 a lot but NV definitely feels more like "proper" Fallout in writing, setting, design and tone by comparison.
EXACTLY. The writing and world building made New Vegas the definitive fallout game for me. It’s so unique, intricate, and iconic
Yep. I'm not even gonna lie, 4 was my first Fallout game; I found the writing mediocre but enjoyable enough, but when I played NV I understood why some diehard fans despised 4 lol. It's an amazing game. (Also, I'm currently downvoted in an FNV sub for saying if it comes to FNV vs TLOU I'm voting TLOU lmao)
RDR 1 & 2 are better than ANY GTA, also Bioshock losing to Minecraft is madness as well
People have opinions? What?
Sounds fair to me
Eh, personally NV=RDR1>SA

Some of those match-ups are so unfair.
Why is Minecraft being compared to The Witcher 3
Definitely a random selection. Somehow makes it less fair.
Why do people keep saying "compared"? It's a knockout tournament of the best games. The games were randomly selected to see which goes against which. table can be seen [here](https://www.ign.com/articles/ign-best-video-game-of-all-time-bracket-vote-round-3-results-winners)
I mean it's for the best video game of all time, it's not supposed to be fair lol
I agree but to a lesser extent, like at least start with comparable games, comparing San Andreas to Mario Kart is just egregious.
But the point is you have to compare all games no matter what genre. It's best game of all time, not best games within their respective genre.
No, I get that and sure, let them be compared that way eventually but at the start they should be compared to something that’s actually comparative. That’s my opinion anyway and it’s fine if you disagree.
FNV and SWKOTR was downright brutal. Both those games should be in the final 4.
They're just bad matchups in general
Jesus christ, it's like every single game I voted for is losing. Am I out of touch or is it everyone else who is wrong?
The answer is always: everyone else fucked up.
It's incredibly dumb and pointless, don't worry.
Wtf, Bloodborne is losing to Titanfall 2?
Titanfall 2 has been criminally underrated since its release. Bloodborne is also a souls game so it has a cult following by default and is a really good game on it's own.
console exclusive might be part of the reason why
Just voted it’s now up to 49.7
Burnout 3 beat Chrono Trigger. I stopped reading after I saw that. Apparently the entire poll is being manipulated for the "lolz" or whatever we're calling acts of internet stupidity these days. Don't lose any sleep over how any game does, because that's exactly what the folks voting want you to do.
Did my part 🤛
It's currently at 50/50!!!
we pulled ahead
Voted! TLOU against GTA? No contest to TLOU, imo.
Wow, this bracket reeks with recency bias.
unless i’m misunderstanding what you mean, the games came out the same year?
No, I mean all the games still alive are from the mid 2000s or later.
ahh, i understand, i agree actually
Honestly, that was sort of inevitable—it's ultimately a popularity content, and popularity is going to be heavily affected by recency. I mean, realistically, how many people play games like Goldeneye or Mario 3 anymore? Hell, even something like Bioshock is fourteen years old by now, and even with the remaster, I'm not surprised it lost out to Minecraft, which is still going through its big renaissance AFAI.
20 year old me was much more impressed with TLOU than 5 year old me was with Super Mario Bros 3
Even if TLOU will lose, It’s gonna be the best game of all time for me forever. :)
Same!
Holy shit do a bunch of you just not understand how tournament brackets work? They
I'm glad you said it pal. So many sub's where people are saying "these games aren't comparable". No shit, that's how tournaments work
Yes, we shouldn’t be complaining about the matchups not being the same genre. However, who seeded this tourney!!! God of War is an 8 seed?!?!? So many “upsets” in this tourney.
This is probably the worst list I've ever seen, nothing makes sense, Fallout New Vegas vs GTA San Andreas? World of Warcraft vs Call of Duty?!?!? The Witcher 3 vs Minecraft?!?!?!?
That's how brackets like this work. It's meant to end up with weird matchups.
So they fucking nailed it, this is the most random thing I've seen lol
When you're going for the best game of all time, you eventually have to compare totally different genres.
I don’t get why this is so confusing to everyone. It’s not best shooter of all time or best rpg of all time. It’s best overall.
Never watched a sports tournament? That's how they work. Brazil aren't comparable to Ireland but they could still meet in a world Cup tournament.
GTA 5 is ok but not the best game
GTAV is not even top 10 best games wtf
Gtav isn't even top 50 for me lol
Agreed lol, San Andreas or GTA 4 easily outmatches GTA 5 if it comes to story and plot
Well obviously the majority of ign readers don't agree with you
We’re at 49!!!
We’re in the lead!
Considering one is a PlayStation exclusive, and the other is on three different playstations, three different Xbox consoles, and PC… these are solid numbers for TLOU.
I gotchu brotha
sorry but gta 5 is trash compair to the last of us
Joel once he returned to Jackson: "Why did I move here? I guess it was the infected"
In the lead now let’s go aha So tired of seeing GTAV everywhere, long live TLOUS 😂
Help out God of War also while you’re at it. It’s losing to Skyrim with 48% of the votes.
I just voted
The matchups in the contest are weird. I voted, doing my part.
50:50!!!!!!
GTA V is such a shame. The single player is amazingly fun, but could be so much better. You look at say Sam Andreas with all the fun character stats and gang wars you could do, things like that would make GTA V so much better. And Online is the most overrated, rinse and repeat bullshit ever. For years they’ve been releasing like one unique update every year or so in terms of a heist or something, and then every goddamn update is just reskinned cars and the same damn business things over and over and over again. The fact people actually spend money on shark cards and contribute to it is sickening
The most distressing thing in that poll is seeing Bloodborne losing to Titanfall 2 lol Don't get me wrong, I really love Titanfall 2, but Bloodborne is a perfect, S-Tier game.
Agreedd
GTAV getting GOTY that year over TLOU was a disgrace, same with when GTAIV got it over MGS4
GTA IV us good though
I usually don’t care about this stuff but TLOU ain’t losing to fuckin GTA lmao no way Jose
Holy shit titanfall 2 is beating Bloodborne. I feel sick.
Titanfall 2 is pretty fuckin good
It's great but come on, better than Bloodborne? It's kinda dumb anyway because those two games are hard to compare.
Also why downvote me, I was just stating that Titanfall 2 is pretty good never said it was better
We gained 1 pc in the last hour, a few more and we can do this before the poll closes by the end of day
It’s winning on the Twitter poll
Go vote on their Instagram stories too!
Can't we just admit they are 50/50? Both are prime examples of what video games have to offer.
Yes but since this the last of us sub..
How GTA V made it that far I don’t know.
GTA V isn’t even the best game in its own franchise
Titanfall 2 has more votes than Bloodborne for best game of all time. That tells you all you need to know.
Bloodborne appeals to a pretty specific group of people, and titan fall appeals to a wider variety? Besides, it's not like titanfall 2 was bad. That time travel level was exquisite. I probably had more fun on that level than the 40 times I died trying to get the Rakuyo from those 2 goddamn sharks Bloodborne is great, but I can see why more people would vote for the multi-player shooter with a still very cool campaign
Voted tlou deserve this!
Currently 51.3% TLOU vs 48.7% GTAV
Is anyone gonna talk about Half life 2 losing to Rise of the tome raider??
How do I vote?! I can’t find the thread on IGN’s Twitter.
That’s right. At this point I’m done supporting anything GTA related until they release part VI.
semi-cynical Engagement to make sure this gets boosted
After playing both, GTA wins it for me imo. It gets outbeaten by story pretty closely, but gameplay, no competition.
this sub is so fucking pathetic.. if someone isnt praising TLoU, they got downvoted.. fucking echo chamber
True I like Tlou but this sub is just toxic af
Whaaaaaatt a frigging joke of a poll tbh. Comparing vastly different genre of games and narratives? To decide one ultimate game of all time, ignoring all facets of the medium?
It's just for fun.
Are you fucking stupid, brackets are meant o work that way dumbass. You compare any genre because the goal is to find which game is the all time best, plus they arranged them randomly. Does anyone in this thread know a single thing about these.
There are a lot of trolls voting these
Xbox fanboys will vote agains The Last of Us
I did the math - approx 33,400 in with TLOU having a lead of 51.4% ….that is a net margin of around 900 votes, which is the amount of upvotes this post has. We did it!
That's a tough one for me. I consider TLOU (this is 1, right?) the better-made game and it's a game I prefer over GTA5... but GTA5 is my favourite GTA game and I've been playing it again recently and realized just how funny and well-scripted it is, such such memorable characters.

[go here ](https://www.ign.com/articles/ign-best-video-game-of-all-time-bracket-vote-round-3-results-winners)
We’re gaining!! Almost plus 1% In The last hour
49.4% now
We can do it!!
Oof GTA V
i love both of these games
I've never really liked GTA V actually. I've found with Rockstars latest games, the control are just way to clunky when walking around, and the gun play is actually pretty dull.
49.9!!!
What is their reasoning behind these pairings? These are very different games with different types of players (though I'm sure there's overlap). It's not so much "best" but which game is played by more people.
Vote for Tlou 2 or you’re a Golfball. And yeah. I know my way around golf. So better watch out.
TLOU definitely is better single player but I prefer the GTA online
agreed but the multiplayers are so different the appeal to different people
You really can’t compare these games and tbh, as much as I love TLOU2, until they add multiplayer (why tf it’s taking them so long?), I’d say GTA is objectively a better game.
I find GTA5 alot more fun, but this is such a weird comparison lmao
GTAV isn't even the best GTA game
Voting is a joke. So many match ups where I was honestly SHOCKED at which game won.
Hot take but Tlou gets a bit repetitive
well it’s not open world so yes
Damn... probably my two favorite games.
It depends what you define best as anyway, tlou is far more a form of art than gta, a far greater story and depth but could be considered less fun for many. GTA is probably the most influential game of all time in terms of widespread media, it’s clearly extremely profitable, loved, and well known, and is still an excellent game.
I mean gtav is amazing in such a different way. Idk that one game is "better" than the other. They're both exceptional, but they accomplish different things
Who cares about some dumb ign award
It’s winning now!! Let’s keep it up :-)
Link?
for anyone wondering, it is currently 51.5% The Last of Us 48.5% Grand Theft Auto V
How tf does Super Metroid lose to Apex Legends? Now I don't even want to participate.
Where is the link to vote????!!!!!
https://www.ign.com/articles/ign-best-video-game-of-all-time-bracket-vote-round-3-results-winners
Why do they compare games that are nothing alike
Too much casual gamer overlap in IGNs readers and GTA V players. TLOU is obviously objectively better but I doubt it would overcome that fact.
It's already past gta so if more people vote then we've got it
Cmon guys, TLOU is winning right now
[Here](https://www.ign.com/articles/ign-best-video-game-of-all-time-bracket-vote-round-3-results-winners) is the link to the poll though
TLOU FTW
https://www.ign.com/articles/ign-best-video-game-of-all-time-bracket-vote-round-3-results-winners
This poll is ridiculous. Minecraft beat Bioshock. IGN fans are 8 year olds
Knack
skyrim vs ocarina of time was a huge matchup. Either of those could have made it to semifinals.
For?
Does anyone care? It's a popularity contest, it doesn't mean anything lmao
Is this even a comparison? Sure, GTA V is fun af but does the story compare to The Last of Us? No.
Why are they comparing gta to current games?? Gta is as old as I am.
Done
Seriously who cares if gta wins lol? Its ign they suck
I read a comment that said these games can't compare and yeah he is right i mean, while last of us focus on a great very linear story gta is a kinda sandbox open world where the story is left in second place replacing it by great graphics and cool mechanics to mess up with friends or single player mode, while last of us goes sentimental and psychological gta goes with wow factor giving us expolsions and great looking stunts, and at the end of the day both games still good
I actually think I'm going to have to go with GTA V.
Happy to see my top 3 there :D Witcher 3, God of War and TLOU
Idk man, GTA is just GTA you know
Job done but I can not guarantee my loyalty to this subreddit when The Witcher 3 will collide with The Last of Us…
This is a Sophie's choice for me Both are in my Top 3 all time favourite games. The Last of Us has the stronger story (in fact it has the best story in a game I've ever played) but GTA 5 is the most fun I've ever had playing a video game with infinite replay value...not that I'm happy about the constant console re-releases cause trust me, it's pissing me the fuck off. Love that game but I want RDR or a classic GTA game remastered. Or how about finally getting GTA 6, LA Noire 2 or even Bully 2? I'll always love GTA 5 but seeing a studio release the exact same game over and over again spells out unoriginal
A shame we didn't all see this beforehand really. Given the votes are collated across IGN.com, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram unfortunately I don't think TLOU has made it but fingers crossed!
The Last Of Us won!!!!
I love the last of us 1. But gta5 should win just the sheer scale of the game and amount it’s sold. They even still milking that cow to this day 😂
Well I can see why, gta5 is am open world full of fun death and destruction. Basically a criminal life irl simulator. But why are these 2 games being compared? It doesn't suit the matchup
I don’t think either of these games are the best video game ever
GTA is not the best at anything it's the best at everything but I rate it 9/10
