Witcher 3? Really? Even if it's the greatest game ever made, I can't see half of the group even giving it the time of day.

STOP IT.
I'm thinking that Witcher 3 could hit Skyrim levels of approachability and non-European-jankiness, though it probably won't.

Yeah, long games and modern day Giantbomb are oil+water. Vinny is the only guy I see playing it. Jeff may watch his girlfriend play it.

really sucks that it's so long. The thing i really liked about the witcher 2 is that it was a 25 hour game that felt perfectly paced. I still want to go back and do the alternate main path in the game but i also dont want to burn myself out before W3.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but only Vinny and Patrick really liked Witcher 2, correct?
I don't see this changing for Witcher 3. It'll get a long QL, but be forgotten within a couple of weeks of it coming out.
Personally, I have a weird relationship to the Witcher series. I love RPGs, but I hate how it plays. To the point I've never gotten more than 30 minutes into Witcher 2 before giving up.

I've been wary of the Witcher 3 since they said it was an open world game. That's the last direction I wanted from the franchise.
Long open world game is probably stuffed with open world filler.
Probably what it takes to get a platinum, not beat the game.
I averaged out the release date for all of GB's GotY and it came out to be June 10th.
The closet release to June 10th is Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy.

Yeah, I prefer the hubs in Witcher 2 but I trust CDPR to deliver on their vision.

yeah I specifically liked 1 and 2 because they were engrossing story games that were paced really well. Even if they manage to make the open world stuff fun, it's not AT ALL what I would want from the next entry.
this won't even be in the top 10 anime boob games of 2015

That's actually a game I'm really looking forward to playing.

I got about 10 hours into DA:I and felt like I had done nothing and just quit playing. The combat was too boring for me to care about doing anything else past that 10 hours.

The Witcher 3 is 200 hours long only if you do everything. The main story is ~50 hours. For comparisonm The Witcher 1 was ~40 hours and The Witcher 2 ~25.
Peace Walker is a 100 hour game if you do everything but only crazy Anime otakus do that.

Ah, for some reason I thought the DA:I comparison was suggesting it was full of filler.
I feel like more and more games are going the huge open world route. All I can do now is hope that these games went this way for actual, meaningful reasons and aren't just full of filler junk.
Sure, I'll admit I enjoyed DA:I and some Assassin's Creeds but that's all taken in moderation. No thanks to every game being full of meaningless quests.

Will probably make it to top 10. There's like... what? Estival Versus? Persona 4 dancing all night? Like 3 neptunia games? Danganronpa Another Episode? Final Fantasy 15? Maybe persona 5?
It'll make it to the top 10 anime boob games easily.

actually you know what, screw it, I don't even know what year some of these are coming out so I'm stopping
maybe it makes the top 10 anime boob games
I think Ryan liked it too, but had issues with the rolling or something? But my memory is that nobody besides Vinny played it much at all, but respected it enough that it finished, like, 5th in the GOTY voting.
Since this industry seems so hell-bent on aping Hollywood, it's time to hire some professional editors.

It's a new Rocksteady Batman. It has a decent chance to be incredible since they've already done it twice before. They liked Mordor combat enough to give it GOTY even though that's just a poor imitation of Batman combat.

Oh damn, completely forgot that the senran kagura guy got a new franchise called valkyria drive.
Also forgot that there's a new gal gun coming.
The anime boob is strong this year.

Why is there a first person Asteroids game? How did this happen?
Oh and who decided to do D&D at the same time as the Nintendo Direct? Looks like I won't be able to watch it much if at all.

Cause whoever owns Atari now is going through all their properties and applying them to genres that are somewhat popular right now
Alone in the Dark? Let's make a four player coop shooter!
Haunted House? Let's make a key hunting horror game!
Asteroids? I dunno, something with crafting!
Still waiting for an open world survival Marble madness game with zombies to be announced.

To be fair a lot of the love for Mordor was due to the nemesis system, Batman is going to have an uphill struggle against series fatigue and a Batmobile isn't going to be a big game changer.

It's a space DayZ clone.
Then either watch the D&D archive when it goes up, or just read the writeups of the Nintendo Direct. Any news from that will be all over GAF in seconds, anyways.

I found that they went wayyyyyyyy too overboard with the collectibles in AC. AA hit the sweet spot of there being plenty but not too much in regards to collectibles. They went full on stupid with it in AC.
I wonder if the ending of AC holds. I liked the direction they went with the story though the actual storytelling left a lot to be desired, along with the general plot itself. So i'm pretty wishy washy in regards to AK, especially since i prefer the way that AO went with their art direction (away from everyone being a bunch of bulking looking monsters).
yeah, i flipped them by accident. fixed it now.

He's been bagging on all kinds of stuff lately. Him not liking the Mistborn series was reallly surprising.
