Yo-Kai Watch better be on Drew's top 10.

 

[Moldiver]

The top ten GOTY is only on day 5 -- but they very well could and probably will discuss MGSV spoilers at some point before that while discussing a different award.

I'll ask in here and see then if there's any straight up end game spoilers

 

[stump sock]

ME1 is the only one that has an actual non-shitty PC interface, and is still the best one of the bunch

 

[Toparaman]

I forget the structure to these. I've not finished MGSV and don't want the story spoiled withing the first 5 minutes of the podcasts.

Do they start from 10 and work their way down?

They generally do their best to avoid spoiling story until the Best Story has to be decided. You'll also probably hear spoilers during the discussion for the very last award, Game of the Year.

 

[jaina]

Best character (or whatever it will be called) is also likely to spoil.
I'm fully prepared, but also way to exited about the discussions to skip a part. (they won't discuss Witcher 3 or Trails story beats)

 

[LurkerPrime]

I only want to play Mass Effect games with Wrex as a companion. He's that good.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Wrex + Mordin is all I need.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Yo-Kai Watch better be on Drew's top 10.

It'll probably be there by default

 

[Megasoum]

After Dragon Age: Inquisition I can't say I have that much hope for ME4...

I didn't even hate DA:I... It was all right but I'm not sure I want a Mass Effect that follows the same structure with crappy open world design.

 

[LurkerPrime]

With the games they've played, Contradiction has it on lock. No shell from MGSV or whatever will be stealing the spot.

If 2015 follows a similar outline, then MGSV spoilers will likely kick in early in the week. There is always a chance spoilers for games could pop up at any point, and without early warning. The crew usually give a warning at the start of the week, and are not afraid to dive into spoilers at any point for there. Don't expect them to provide a warning right before mentioning something big.

Monday is usually a safe haven for spoilers based on the categories, but there is still a chance something might pop up you might not expect.

Space makes everything better.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Could also just wait until after the podcast and ask people in the OT what games are spoiled for each day

 

[LurkerPrime]

Space makes everything better.

Planet Scanning was so much better than the Ma--

No. I can't even joke about that.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

I'd bet my car that ME4 will be gash. Ita a dead series in terms of quality.

Best surprise on Day 1...can't be many of them in a Kojima game lol

 

[strafer]

So the snow has finally come. But I sighed and yelled at the clouds that it's too late.

 

[Xater]

Good job. I bet they feel real bad about themselves right now.

 

[tuxfool]

Yo-Kai Watch better be on Drew's top 10.

Has he played more than 10 games this year?

Spoiler

I hope I'm joking

 

[LurkerPrime]

I'd bet my car that ME4 will be gash. Ita a dead series in terms of quality.

This describes every Bioware franchise.

...I'd probably get ME4 if it has playable Krogan. (DAI got me with playable Qunari--the one thing I vowed I wouldn't miss.)

 

[Megasoum]

Planet Scanning was so much better than the Ma--

No. I can't even joke about that.

Well... Both of them were kind of shitty so I would take planet scanning (especially after they improved it in one of the patches) over Mako any day.


Also... Makes me giggle every time

I need a new controller for my PC. is it time to just get an XBONE controller?

Get Lunar White or nothing.

 

[jaina]

Halo 5
MGSV
Yokai Watch
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition
Heroes of the Storm

Keep Talking
DiRT Rally
Freedom Planet
Besiege
Elite: Dangerous (2014)
Game of War
Clash of Clans
Heroes Charge

plus some other mobile games I forgot. he might also like some of the couch co-op games from UPF. I bolded my guessed top 10 candidates.

There different teams working on those franchises.

Guys, don't be part of Dan's weird asshole thing.

 

[Myggen]

Could also just wait until after the podcast and ask people in the OT what games are spoiled for each day

Yup, that's the way to go.

 

[Incandenza]

We're approaching that wonderful time of the year where I can't browse this thread until like 6:30 in the afternoon because I don't want any GOTY results spoiled for me. I hope nobody decides to leave Giant Bomb this time.

Godspeed, everyone.

Brad announces his retirement after getting Destiny in first place.

 

[LackingSaint]

Hey, folks! Don't want to be too spammy, but felt this could be relevant to some of your interests; i'm the guy who's been doing the GiantBomb Animateds some of you might have seen (Knives vs Bats, Enjoy Your Massage, Oculus Rift in the Bedroom, Real Man's Drink), and lately i've been doing livestreams to show my process with the next edition of GiantBomb Animated. You're free to join us; it'll be starting in about 15 minutes!

There different teams working on those franchises.

Of course but they already said that DA:I will be the blueprint for all future Bioware games.

 

[Myggen]

Going by the thread about Greg Miller's Top 10 Games of the Year, Witcher 3 and Bloodborne really are this year's TLoU in terms of fans just feeling the need to shit on anyone who doesn't have any of those games at first place.

Anyways, Matt Rorie's Top 5 Games He Nearly Almost Kinda Finished in 2015 on the schedule for Tuesday

I saw the notification and was about to come here and share the stream

 

[mnz]

Yes but make sure that you're getting one of the new XBONE controller (the one with the headphone jack and fixed D-Pad and LB/RB).

Does the headphone jack do anything on PC? That could actually be useful to me.

ME1 is the only one that has an actual non-shitty PC interface, and is still the best one of the bunch

Those versions don't have controller support. That's where we're at with those games on PC.

And if ME4 is anything like DA:I, I will never touch that franchise again.

 

[MassiveNights]

Nothing is beating TLoU obnoxiousness. That shit is unbearable 2 and a half years later. Especially for an Uncharted clone. *bites lip*

 

[Megasoum]

So this is weird... I actually got the headphone jack to work on PC ONCE... Not sure how... Never managed to make it work again. Haven't wasted too much time on this so maybe there's an obvious setting somewhere I'm missing but anyway... I *think* it's possible.

I really, really don't get why people can't understand personal lists.

 

[Myggen]

I really, really don't get why people can't understand personal lists.

A lot of people still don't understand reviews, so I think all hope is lost there.

You feel better if you never had hope in the first place.

 

[MassiveNights]

Some people don't understand someone having a different opinion about food, nevermind fucking videogames.

One of those people is Dan!

I never did.

 

[PowerTaxi]

Huh, a friend just reminded me Dying Light came out this year. I had a blast playing that with him

 

[MassiveNights]

If you say the word mayonnaise three times in a row, Dan makes a YouTube video about Patrick Klepek. It's nightmarish.

 

[Okrag]

dan just likes what he likes, it's the others that don't understand

Dan said that Taco Bell is objectively better than anything on Mission Street, don't act like he's the reasonable one.

 

[stump sock]

Those versions don't have controller support. That's where we're at with those games on PC.

it's the worst of both worlds. no controller support, but the menus are basically the console menus that you're supposed to use the mouse on, it fucking sucks. fuck that series

Get Lunar White or nothing.

went to two stores and my choices were black or Halo Color (for $10 more)

also my computer didn't recognize the damn thing and you can't download the drivers directly from microsoft so I got it from some shady site so I probably have a bunch of viruses now

off to a great start

 

[Myggen]

Huh, a friend just reminded me Dying Light came out this year. I had a blast playing that with him

Dying Light is on my top 10 list for sure. Just love how that game plays.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Is there going to be a regular podcast on Tuesday? I forget

 

[MassiveNights]

My 2015 Old Game Of The Year is FarCry 4.

I put about 50 hours into that just a couple months ago. Shit is ridic fun.

So in the thread are we doing our own award for the categories the guys post that day, or just top 10s?
