In anticipation of Grand Theft Auto V, members of the GTA Forums amused themselves with animated GIFs in an ongoing thread, poking fun at similar games like Saints Row IV, Watch Dogs and The Last of Us.
Here are the results:
GIF-wise, Saints Row IV has nothing to fear about, as it’s a sandbox game that was made for silly GIFs.
But it’s clear, that GTA V has its own potential too.

I won’t be happy if a sandbox game wins GOTY over The Last of Us, haha
don’t worry, they’re just videogames, I’m sure you will be fine.
Why, what’s wrong with sandbox games?
There’s nothing wrong with sandbox games; I just think that TLOU took storytelling in games forward whilst not sacrificing gameplay. GTA V is just another GTA game; fun, yeah, but I value TLOU’s contribution to the medium a lot more than GTA’s. Just my two cents.
I haven’t played TLOU and of the countless people I know who have, and like to talk about it, none of them have ever mentioned the gameplay, which GTA5 seems to be all about.
But I wouldn’t choose either for GOTY 😛
Actually, I can’t think of any real stand-out games this year 🙁
Well, having played TLOU, I’d say it’s one of my favorite games this generation.
I haven’t played GTA V yet so I’m not sure if TLOU is better.
It’s GTA V. It’s not just any sandbox game and IF everything goes well it sure deserves GOTY . There will be a HUGE competition between the two.
You don’t have to worry… Pokemon will beat all 🙂
@ponton LOL that’s a good joke XD
Is last of us favourite for GOTY? Still haven’t played it as no PS3, but haven’t stopped hearing about its awesomeness since day one.
But are there other legit contenders so far this year? What about Tomb Raider, I thought that was pretty special…?
I’ve played and finished both Last of Us and Tomb Raider. Both once plays. Once you’ve done it on hard that’s all the game will ever offer you. GTA Online in V however… O.O
Are you serious?
Nice. If everything goes well with GTA V it sure will win GOTY.
Both of the Encino Man ones were great!
Lame
To bad the GIFs are mostly s**t… Saints Row fans would have been a bit more creative if they were the ones creating GIFS goofing on GTA… Seems even the fans are too serious to crack decent jokes…
Stupid geek culture.
