I love Overwatch, but the last thing it has over Splatoon is style. Splatoon is like, all style!

Look, I think Overwatch is real, real neat.
Nothing beats Splatoon on style points, though,
I'd also argue it's more fun, but that's far more subjective. Style is objective and Splatoon wins.

Splatoon doesn't really have style
I mean, it didn't help the WiiU win any accolades. Overwatch though, it's about to blow away the consoles and PC. Splatoon could never do that.
Sorry Splatoon, you lost.

Dark Souls 3 will make the top 10 depending on whether this year is as good as last year.
Remember that Bloodborne only just missed out to the Witcher 3 of all things. The same people that beat Bloodborne that is, Brad, Jason and Austin have been the ones to beat Dark Souls 3.

Splatoon is all over the place. It won't hit Overwatch numbers, because nothing outside of MOBAs will hit that, but the Splatoon community is pretty damn huge for a single console release and won numerous awards last year.
Also, Sales don't definite Style. Everything in Splatoon is style. The graphics, the music, the world design. Hell, style is even a game mechanic. That game doesn't just have style, it is style.

Look, all I know is that galak-z won giantbomb's best styyyyyyyle award, so objectively it has more style than splatoon.

Ok well I can agree that Galak-Z winning style is well
Just wrong

An unfinished game with pretty awful character designs that fail to evoke what they're trying to evoke beat Splatoon. Dammit GB, what are you thinking? How could you let a clever boot up sequence and pause screen cloud your judgement of the whole product?

Also didn't hotline Miami 2 do the same thing?

Hotline Miami is a bad game, so I'm not surprised it got ignored in that case.
Still, valid point. Galak-Z winning best style becomes more and more of a horrible mark on Giant Bomb's credibility. This is worse then when they gave Skyrim GOTY. The really ought to issue a formal apology and revoke that award. How can we trust their silly lists ever again?
The system is built on credibility and it will begin to crumble. I demand justice!

Does splatoon let me fly in a pink mech though?

You are correct there. I don't dig 1 as much as some, but it's far from a bad game. I was referring to 2.
seriously though splatoon doesn't get nearly enough mechanical props, and it got quite a lot
the elegance of the ink system is incredible. It covers like five different functions all at once, maybe more.
The best part of Splatoon for me is how unintimidating the main turf war mode is for me as a casual player. The fact that the game focuses far more on me getting ink on the ground than shooting people in the face means I don't have to really worry as much that my skills are letting the team down. I always feel like I'm helping. Nintendo has made a shooter friendly in a way they haven't ever really been and it's such a clever and very Nintendo-way of handling it.

Is this like a krang situation?
Splatoon is for kids though, therefore it is ineligible to win any awards.
no no no, you're thinking of trix
If your heart looks like Krang and is in your stomach go to a doctor.Is this like a krang situation?
You know what game has cool mechs? Xenoblade X. You can also paint them any color you want. I even have a pink one. Well, it's more of a Magenta, but it's close.
The customization in that game is so good. I wish they had even more and you could change the head design, chest design, alt mode, etc., but what's there is super solid. Hope it returns for XC3.

I'd play it but I didn't want to cart a TV with me when I moved out.
No I'm not gonna play it on the pad.
I've been playing it on the pad a lot so I can watch other shit while playing. It's fine there, but I'm a crazy person that typically prefers handhelds to consoles.
Text on the pad is too small, but that's a problem everywhere in that game even on a TV. Who thought that mission and menu font size was readable?

The same people who did the UI for Dead Rising 1.

Anyone here know if doom runs well on a 770? My uncle liked wolfenstein tno so I think he might like this.
I guess when you go to bat for Fallout 4 there's no limit to the bad things you can like
Yeah! Austin is so fucking deep in the pockets of Big Mecha that it's a legit miracle if he even manages to crawl out in time for GOTY 2016!and Galak-Z

It runs well on my 680, ranging between medium and high. The minimum requirement is a 670.

Hmm alright, I think it's safe to recommend to him then.
The only good thing to come out of Homefront. I had totally forgotten the sequel was a thing until now.In honour of new Homefront coming out and being a bad game, here is the classic clip about Vinny and Gamefly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEn60keGiMQ
Vinny plays Dark Souls 3
boom
what did Vinny think of Dark Souls 3?
he is burnout?

It's so good when Jeff is reading the letters in the one PlayStation Underground Demo Derby and he ends the one he gives the snooty voice with "Bodymore, Murderland."

Man, bethesda's pricing on steam for australia is so fucking dumb. Why the hell is DOOM 80USD?

New Australian law - the price is the metacritic. Hope you like bad games.

No, in this instance it really makes no sense because you can get it AUD$30 cheaper (making it 60USD) in a physical store and the game uses steamworks anyway.

I like how in that terrible Sum of All Fears movie adaptation that they nuked Baltimore, and it's like, well, it's not like anybody's going to be able to tell the difference
Oh wow I still totally remember them announcing Elder Scrolls PSP.
god i miss ryan
I occasionally go back and watch some of the retro stuff with Jeff and Ryan, since that was my GB gateway. This morning I find myself watching a Sega Vintage Collection quick look.
