The more we ask for demo derby, the farther they put it off.
Only by completely giving up hope of a new one happening will they finally bless us.

You're not wrong. Talos is great, but The Witness has something... majestic(?) about it which is hard to put into words without coming across like hyperbole.
I've avoided all content/reviews of it aside from the recent Bombcast, but the complaint Brad mentions hearing about puzzles just rolling into one another without any punctuation or player reinforcement just adds to the immersion. The game doesn't care for numbering, guidance or your feelings. It's just puzzles, the island, and a trust in the player that he/she can do it.
lol I just got this now. Agh I want to get home and play it.

Yeah this is the longest they have gone between MPPs I think.
I hope they aren't just saving them all for live events, although one of those this year would be great too.

Yes! It all comes down to respect and trust. It trusts the player to give the game the attention it demands and respects the player's intelligence.
It's hard not to root for a game like that.

Sooo does anybody have experience with buttkickers, or similar tech? I'm looking to outfit my ridiculous HOTAS chair with one in preparation of VR.
Fuck.
I was stuck on a puzzle a couple days ago and then the solution came to me when I was driving to work yesterday, thinking of absolutely nothing at all. I love that shit.
Also I had a dream about lines overnight. This game is burying itself in my skull.

It's EVERYWHERE.

It's spreading.
Having just watched the QL for that game, it's the most frustrating thing possible.
Partly because the game seems set to screw them over. Partly because holy shit were the GBeast crew not paying attention.
Austin lamenting that they can't reroll when there's a giant thing on the screen informing that they have 1 reroll left especially made me want to scream. The worst part is that I think this happened twice.
Considering I don't think any of us would have guessed the impact Super Mario Maker or Rocket League would have, we probably don't know of the heavy hitters yet.

Barring any disappointments or delays, Street Fighter V, Deus Ex, Zelda Wii U, maybe Uncharted or Persona.
Nier Automata, FFXV, Ace Attorney 6, Zero Time Dilemma, and Cold Steel 2 tho

The Witness is going to be this year's viral game. People won't be able to stop talking about it for weeks if not months.
Not sure I can really think of anything, not to say there won't be stuff.
I mean, Jeff might really like Persona but I don't think everyone at GB is going to get into P5.

Oh god, it's like the tetris effect.

I'd be very surprised if they loved Zelda Wii U. I love those games, but the series hasn't exactly blown critics away since The Wind Waker. I could see Persona 5 leaving a big impact, but my guess would be that their GOTY will either be The Witness of a surprise showing from E3.

P5 seems like it's posed to be a GBeast fav more than anything

Didn't Link Between Worlds almost win their GOTY?
For sure, but Jeff did put Persona 4 on his favorite games of all time list.
I mean maybe he just liked Persona 4 and won't like Persona 5 but he might get really into it.

Man what an awful year for games. The best game on that list was probably Brothers and even that probably wouldn't be on my top 10 of 2015.
Let's see....
Likely
No Man's Sky
Possible:
Dark Souls 3
Uncharted 4
Mirror's Edge: Catalyst
XCom 2
Questionable:
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Quantum Break
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Dishonored 2
The Last Guardian
Persona 5
Extremely Unlikely:
The Division
Jeff will never play a persona game again.

What about Super Mario Maker NX?
Jeff is going to play Persona 5. Just like he said he probably would on the Bombcast.

If we keep begging him to play it, he'll probably never play it!
perfect plan wrap it up
We should all beg Jeff to play this year's Call of Duty.
I also don't understand this at all.
