Top ten is a bum category. It's all about Persona 5 winning Best Style for its trailer.

The real question is whether Dota 2 will be Brad's GotY again.
What will really make everything wonderful is:
This would create the ultimate storm of angry people on every side. People mad about DLC, People mad about the Witcher, People mad about Fallout, People mad about bugs, People mad about broken games, People mad about reviewer's privledge, all the anger focused on one really, really dumb thing (a list). I hope it happens.
- Fallout 4 makes the site list.
- Witcher doesn't make the list.
- A horrible game breaking, save deleting bug is found in Fallout (its a Bethseda game so this is possible)
- No one on staff hits it, but it is common elsewhere.
- All Fallout DLC is canceled for months (shades of Arkham Knight PC) to fix this horrible bug.
- All of this happens after the site list is up.

It's a spiritual question. You are done once you uninstall it (or threw the disc away) Like I did after ~20 hours. Only then will you truly be done.
I added a bunch of fun (and plausible) stuff

He had to ban it from his list because otherwise it'd be the best game every year.
I recommend you read the comments on especially last week's podcast.

Not GB, but Danny said that he'd be doing some streaming from home as the gamespot studio was being moved during that weekend.
Didn't they already ban you once for trying to remind people about the comments section?
that's bannable?
Not exactly. I'm just pointing people towards some really angry Witcher 3 fans here.
Hey man, you (didn't really) ask and I answered. If you want to read some essays about Witcher 3 you know where to find them!

I'm sure they get a lot more tweets at them that we won't be able to see.
I just realized there's a chromecast not being used in this place. Is video buddy PC or mobile? How do I get started? I may have stumbled into a fantastic world of gb content experience.
I gotcha. Outside of skimming through gaming here on gaf, this thread is pretty much the only kind of gaming discussion I consistently follow any more so my view of the wider community is limited.

mobile. android and ios! somehow more stable than the actual site!
People making Witcher sound like the perfect game. I ended up getting some enjoyment from it but more than most other top tier games this year, I had to look past through a lot of bullshit to eventually get there. As the other games in the franchise, the core is excellent if its your cup of tea, but even then would you need a lot of oversight.

I don't think the Witcher 3 has much bullshit at all. Fun, challenging combat that forces you to stay on your toes and allows for very diverse builds and some of the best writing in gaming. And if you like big action packed set pieces it has that as well, especially towards the end of the game. It's the only game I've played that I felt truly justified the size of its world with seemingly endless sidequests that actually have unique dialogue and multiple pathways through them. Or for example, coming off a random NPC in the world off the beaten path and then encountering him 20 hours later. Truly think it's a one of a kind game.
I haven't experienced many bugs either but I play on the PC. Only thing I can think of that was truly flawed was the abysmal launch inventory system with its nonsensical sorting system and throwing books on top of usable items. And while I'm very happy that so much of the game follows up on the first Witcher game it is odd that most of the Witcher 2 is just ignored, outside of a few big world context events(ie, did the prince die) And Roach can get stuck on the world when you call him which is annoying, but hardly a deal breaker. Very polished game overall, especially given the scale is unparalleled.
Think it's a bummer the crew don't dig the game, but they don't dig a lot of great games so I've come to expect that at this point

Why do you need a stash? You're constantly changing your gear, there's no reason to hold on to anything outside of OCD. Books don't have a weight or if they do it's so small as to not be a factor. Even when it was patched in I haven't used it once in the 74 hours I've spent with the game. Inventory system was awful and there's no arguing that being an annoying flaw at launch.
I don't understand the movement complaints and I don't feel like it's changed at all since launch. Don't know what was patched. And swimming is perfectly fine for what the game requires you to do with it, at least with a mouse. Just point and go.

Can anybody link me to the videos on the site which show the video equipment setup they have at Giant Bomb? I know there are a few videos like this on the site but I can't find them. Thanks.

If you didn't change it in the options then you wouldn't notice any change because it still defaults to the original movement.
Chance Hale

Ah, well I guess I should try the revised controls one of these days but I'm not sure what it would change. Never felt like I didn't have control over my actions or movement. And given I played on death march which is the highest difficulty I would have been really frustrated otherwise
I assume it's got something to do with Jeff hating everything that has any sort of animation priority which I never really understood either.
Thanks, I'll mess with it later today.

People are already getting themselves angry about potential GB GOTY scenarios.
In October.
The holiday is going to be epic.

I know we shouldn't take the GOTY talks seriously, but I'll be really bummed if a lot of them dismiss Undertale because they didn't get the true ending or just outright didn't play it.
Also, I don't think we'll get a Brad filibuster this year unless he tries to get Destiny in the top 3.

I tried searching "gear" on qlcrew.com ... didn't help at all
Here's some videos I remember from their CBS setup:

I'd be fine if Time Clickers made it
you're speaking my language
A month ago it was unthinkable that TTK would make the list, now it's only a debate as to whether it makes the top 3.
Brad has won without firing a shot. TTK is good.
A stash is just nice to have in a huge rpg. You dont need it as much as you dont need inventory sorting or categories. And its something they patched into Witcher 2 so there was no reason not to just add it from the beginning
Movement had too much momentum and it required constant small adjustments when you were near something interactive (not to mention those damn candles)

Thanks.
I might be wrong but I think there was another video recently that I can't think of.
Probably, maybe even in a mailbag.
Here's a Beast bonus as consolation: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/how-to-build-a-beast-episode-02/2300-9371/
Yes, it's similar for me. Another recent example are the 4-5 Mario Maker Morning videos by Patrick during the feud.

I think the only stream that I really caught last year was Brads but I've never bothered going back to the others, hopefully this year I'm able to catch most of it live.
This part makes sense given that they designed the world around the quests instead of designing a world and filling it with quests.
Last year's Alex/Drew stream was pretty good except Ian kept fucking with the site code in the chat.
