I am pretty sure it will be fun and a good game, but Game of the Year? Why? I don't understand. It's already been done, four times by Rockstar, and many more by other companies. Game of the Year belongs to something that brings a little more diversity to games, and isn't just about killing cops and chilling with homies. What kind of image do video games get when we glorify these games that have you murdering cops? Making it Game of the Year will just bring more unwanted negative publicity to the gaming market. Video games are already in hot water with parents and most of the public.
Nonetheless, I will still buy and play the crap out of this game because I love the series. I also love video games in general though, and I don't think this game should be Game of the Year, by any self-respecting magazine or website. Maybe my mind will change when I play it, but for now, that's what I think.
