Destructoid's 2015 GOTY is...

Destructoid knows what's good.
latest
 
I think Witcher 3 is a better RPG and personally I preferred it a lot more to Bloodborne. Hell, I would put Trails SC as my GOTY right now. However, it's opinions and all so grats to From Soft.

If the game didn't dip down to 0 FPS, I'd feel good about this.

Seems it was the right attitude to not visit Destructoid and this ain't changing that.
Although I respect their opinion.

I could be really snarky here and say that a "game" that chugs along at 15fps half the time doesn't deserve anything.

Or the fucked up frame pacing. Whatever. (The framerate totally drops with multiple players.

with 3 players was not fun. )

Sure. If you consider one small area with half a dozen quests "large portions".

Is this overall Game of the Year or Game of the Year at Sub 30 FPS?

I could only play the game for 2,5 hours before the 30fps and frame pacing issues got too much for me, does this also mean I'm salty?

No it means you're too sensitive and should probably stick to PC gaming exclusively. The game ran better than Dark Souls 1 by miles and was overall fine. If 30fps is enough to stop playing a game I don't know what to tell you.

To be fair though the frame pacing gave me a headache the first night I played it. Got used to it eventually and didn't notice it after a while but I can understand if people couldn't play it because of it.

What? I wasn't even referring to Bloodborne. It was a reply to someone's post about how The Witcher 3 runs 20fps. At least read the post before jumping in with your childish gifs.

Lol



I read your post, and before patches the witcher 3 was pretty poor on ps4


And I like the gif because people get needlessly defensive such as this

no trilogy according to Verendus, but i really hope that the sequel is in those 2 new From's exclusive games

No idea who Verendus is; I just want more Bloodborne. I could never really get into Souls, but Bloodborne just clicked with me. The combat is just so much more fun.
 
Well deserved and was always going to be my GOTY, Also it's the only game in the souls series my bro has actually played/completed, All due too the password co-op function, It worked a treat and he did what pretty much most of us do, Go the internet for the lore, Weapon functions etc. He was engrossed in it.

I don't know why people mention fps like it matters, My favourite games ever were sub-par in that regard.

I say that as someone who spent hundreds of hours on Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, and almost as much (but not quite) with Dark Souls 2. Bloodborne just felt very underwhelming and half-baked compared to those games. And despite the cries of "It's a different game, and not comparable!", it still firmly sits under the "Souls" umbrella. Bloodborne's lack of options (vanilla), extremely small world and almost just as bad hitboxes in some cases as Dark Souls 2 actually made me appreciate Dark Souls 2 more; something I thought not possible.

I still really enjoyed it, it just didn't have the replayability of the previous Miyazaki (and his disciple) games and wasn't as satisfying for me, even though it had excellent combat. Also, it seems like you didn't finish reading the rest of my post or something, or maybe didn't really get my point.

I'm playing scholar of the first sin of DS2 right now (I only played vanilla DS2 when it came out), & it's actually worse than I remembered, very very poor mechanical decisions, you couldn't even aim your roll attack (you could in all other games), which is very frustrating for dex builds.

I see Dark Souls 2 as a huge missed opportunity, in terms of content it shits on Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, & Bloodborne, but it's very clunky mechanically because of adaptability, poor balancing (entire weapon classes were useless), & the aforementioned inability to aim roll attacks, halberds & scythes have absurdly small "sweet spot" hitboxes as well (I don't know why they changed that from Dark Souls).

I won't get into the lore & art direction part since that's subjective, but in term of content, it completely destroys the other games, but the "game" part is not even close, the other three games play so much better.

Different people like different Souls games (I'm a DeS person myself), but Dark Souls 2 is mechanically inferior to all the other three games (still better than 99% of games out there, sadly), so I can't agree with you there at all.

EDIT: And it looks like Dark Souls 3 will play like a hybrid of Dark Souls & Bloodborne with the combat speed of Demon's Souls, & with hopefully as much content as Dark Souls 2.
 
One of the only games I've finished this year, and the ONLY game where I jumped to NG+ the moment I finished it.

Well deserved, and well appreciate the existence of this. FROM has certainly grown to become giants.

Anyone here play/beat/enjoy Bloodborne but find it undeserving of GOTY?

I guess I need to pick it up eventually, but having never been interested in Demons Souls or Dark Souls it's always been a $20-or-less buy for me.

GOTY awards are always going to be subjective so it's hard to really claim any quality game is undeserving and Bloodborne is a quality game. Personally, I've played through all of the content in the base game between 2 and 3 times and it's around 6 on my end of year list.
 
Lol, even when Bloodborne wins something, some of its fans are still salty as fuck instead of celebrating in a fun manner.

Congrats to From Software, you deserved some GOTYs, but not some of this pitiful fans*

*Not all of them, you know who you are by reading this thread.

To be honest, I've seen waaay more people complaining about Bloodborne fans than Bloodborne fans actually complaining in almost every single GOTY thread, almost like a defense mechanism, no offense.

It was mostly regarding content and builds, which is pretty fucking important. The gameplay was the worst of the series, but even then a "bad" Souls game is still pretty much better than most everything else currently available. I'm not really sure what exactly you're disagreeing with, since I never mentioned otherwise. I never even mentioned what my favorite of the series was. Regardless, Bloodborne showed why it wasn't just the whole "A Team" vs "B Team" crap regarding hitboxes. Bloodborne is full of truly bad collision and clipping too. I really enjoyed what there was of Bloodborne, but there was so little of it that it ends up being my least favorite overall, despite having a refresher on the combat.

And yeah, I am fully aware of the shortcomings of Dark Souls 2. I was in the vocal minority complaining about all of the major problems it had during the first week, while many thought it was "the best ever" and "flawless". Kind of like how GAF has been treating Bloodborne.

FWIW DeS>DaS>DaS2>Bloodborne
