huh, didn't even think about this

There's no reason to think that. From the IGN article:

And, later this week we’ll go in-depth with Solomon and DeAngelis on the reasons behind the bold move to take XCOM from a multiplatform series to a PC exclusive

Edit: I love you.

It's not though. It's confirmed as a PC exclusive.
From IGN's article

And, later this week we’ll go in-depth with Solomon and DeAngelis on the reasons behind the bold move to take XCOM from a multiplatform series to a PC exclusive, and how XCOM 2 will be tailored to take advantage of that single platform’s strengths – followed by Firaxis’ exciting plans to support modders and their work.

Edit: I hate you.

Question: Are the game of the year deliberations worth listening to even if you know the winners and and the jest of discussion through osmosis here and there? I am sort travelling from UK to Holland on a Coach and would love a meaty listen.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I fully expect it to at least have iOS and Android versions after the fact, but I applaud the focus and faith the publisher has in PC as a platform. It allows Firaxis to implement mod support and say, procedurally generated levels whereas if it was an all platform game, certainly features may have had to be cut.

Yes it's fun. Don't expect reasonable arguments for every decision though

 

[tryagainlater]

A Tested premium subscription seems like the most worthless thing ever.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

So disappointed right now. You monster.

you deserve it for even thinking that a youtube link would be the real thing

Spoiler

and it's not like we don't already have plenty of endurance runs

Can't wait for the Kerbal Space Program Endurance Run outta GBEast sometime soon.

The valuable part of the GotY stuff is hearing their arguments. The GotY podcasts have always been great just to hear heated and passionate discussion about video games, and GB always does dumb categories that are good for laughs as well.

That's unfortunate. Likely means no Old Game Show.

It would be cool if in XCOM2 you're actually playing as the bad guys and the alien colonization has done way more good than bad.

was thinking the same thing, or you play as the aliens and you're trying to stop these rebels from ruining all the progress you've made

What's cool baby up to?

Oh good I thought Dan was Paul's only kid. The fact that he has two other ones makes his life seem must less depressing.

No food, no water.

(I'm still not caught up)

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I feel like Danswers has pretty much run dry, but I will never tire of Dan and Paul's relationship.

I think its better in some cases. Knowing where they end up makes some discussions more interesting. Like they spend an hour building up a game while you know it doesn't win. Knowing the drop is coming is sometimes better

 

[faridmon]

Thanks guys. Will be downloading them on my way to Bergen, Netherlands

Dan having zero regrets in his life is fucking baffling every time I hear him say it. I can't even fathom how good that feels.

60 Seconds looks really cool.

Didn't he says he regrets ruining his eyes by wearing glasses when he didn't need them?

 

[Infinite Justice]

WTF @ that Danny story about "blind dates"

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Whoa whoa whoa we all know sequels to XCOMs are supposed to be set underwater!

But seriously, I'm bummed XCOM 2 is PC-only. I only have a basic laptop for internet browsing and word processor, and thought the first XCOM played great on consoles. I can see why they would try to take advantage of the benefits of being PC-exclusive, and if the console versions didn't sell well whatcha gunna do, but I'm still disappointed.

Heh More Brad and Bothers jokes incoming I suspect.

 

[popo]

When Vinny and Patrick say "Austin", I keep hearing it as "awesome". I guess there are worse things for your name to be misheard as.

 

[Deadstar]

So no Magicka 2 quicklook yet. That makes me sad.

Austin has written a more or less comprehensive and accurate recap of a Nintendo Direct in which he drops references to Romance of the Three Kingdoms and anime


a new age has dawned at the ol' GB

And he did it in a bullet-pointed, quick to read list without shoehorning any unnecessary styling to pad it out.

It's like he knows people do give a shit, but only a little shit, and they want to get to the shit they care about at a glance.

 

[Myggen]

Maybe I need to start watching anime.

I am happy

Austin is the first person I've seen show any sort of interest in that Chibi-Robo sidescroller.

EmCee, I know you have important mod duties to attend to, but not even a courtesy link?


Also....

I went to search for Brad's twitter and started typing Bard. I blame each and every one of you em-effers.

 

[santeesioux]

Anime and Dynasty Warriors? What is this site coming to?!?

Spoiler

It's pretty cool we might finally have someone there that likes the criminlally underrated Warriors games.

 

[daydream]

lots of people (including me) are interested in chibi robo zip lash

looks really neat and reminds me of umihara kawase

Why haven't you yet Jeff?

Man is Gundam Build Fighters great. Austin gets even more respect from me!

That would be great because the only other respectable source for Warriors opinions so far has been Jim Sterling. I would welcome another one who's in the know.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Austin needs to bring some EDF love to the site.
