That's a pretty good RIP AND TEAR review.

Reaper is about as cool as any wrestling character.
No one linked it before me.

5/5 when the Metacritic average is about and 80? Clearly, GiantBomb has been bought off with those tall ad dollars.

At the very least, Doom has to make the most surprising/best surprise during goty.
I love Uncharted 4, but that game won't make their list.
Great to see Doom do so well. I don't think I'd love the game as much as Brad, but I do look forward to picking it up eventually.
Those demon dollars you mean

I hope Uncharted doesn't even make the list. There's so many amazing games that came out and are coming out that aren't direct sequels. IMO I think Uncharted 4 is an ok game that will be forgotten by this time next year.

I adore this picture, glad it was used for the review as it should.

I'm loving Uncharted 4 but it's not even in my top 5 at this point and its only May. 2016 has some heavy hitters.

Uncharted 4 is the Bloodborne of 2016.
It wont even be mentioned when the top 10 comes around.

Well, Dark Souls 3 blows Bloodborne out of the water. If you mean they are both games that absolutely deserve a good Top 10 argument, I'm with you.
Uncharted 4, Dark Souls 3, and Fire Emblem Conquest are all 5/5 games to me and easily my faves of the year so far. Fantastic year for games.

I imagine it'll get another push at the end of this year or early next year when they do something with support for the new Playstation hardware.
I think it's easily the best Uncharted game and does a lot to differentiate itself while still staying true to the series and should get credit for bringing an ending to a successful franchise, but unless the rest of this year is a wash then there is no way that it makes the Giant Bomb list.

Uncharted 4 will be in my top 10 for sure because I love the characters and the game added some depth to them that I really liked. It's weird that I find myself talking more about the quiet moments in that game rather than the setpieces.
It's been a damn good year for games so far.

I imagine they'll definitely use UC4 to push Neo..
Sure, and it deserves credit for that.
Axiom Verge
Wasn't Jeff the only one who liked Axiom Verge? There are multiple people who've played and definitely really liked UC4. Jeff is a power player and doesn't like it, but I doubt he'll fight to keep it out of the top 10 entirely.
Point taken, though.

One Piece Burning Blood still has to come out. Don't count your chickens yet.
Looking at the reviews section on the site, Axiom Verge is the only one in the last two years, but it has happened plenty of times in the past. MK9, Mario 3D World, and Uncharted 3 are just a few notable ones.

If Rise of the Tomb Raider was still in contention it would get put above Uncharted 4. Brad would filibuster until it was so.
And I'd be with him.

DS3 is kind of a baby game (for a souls game at least) so it'll probably get on the list since more people will be able to finish it.
Burning Blood sucks.
It's been an amazing year for games. Looking at what's coming out:
Dark Souls 3, Fire Emblem Fates, Uncharted 4, Ace Attorney 6, Zero Time Dilemma, Persona 5, SMT IV Apocalypse, Trails of Cold Steel II, Monster Hunter Generations, Final Fantasy XV, Root Double, and Pokemon Sun and Moon all have a real shot of hitting my top 10.
That doesn't even count games I'm not planning to play but might try and love like Yokai Watch 2, DOOM, any surprise localizations and indie releases I'm not expecting.
Bloodborne is way, way, way more forgiving than Dark Souls 3. That's kind of the whole problem with that game. If anything's a 'baby game', it's Bloodborne.

they should just stick valkyria chronicles remastered at GOTY for the nest 5 years
I was actually only making a joke about it, but yeah, they are games that deserve a top 10.
As of right now, Hitman, Uncharted 4 and Dark Souls 3 are my top 3 and I think it will be pretty much set in stone. Only games that I envision shaking things up for me would be Final Fantasy XV and Persona 5 if it comes out this year
lol
Then there's The Witness and Stardew Valley which I also liked a lot.
I didn't think Doom would make my top 10 but I guess it might by default, since I don't seem to have 10 other games I actually like lol
Of course, there will always be surprises throughout the year.
I don't hate Bloodborne. It's a very fun action game!
I just am opposed to calling DS3 a 'baby game' of Souls, because the franchise has already had far easier entries.

Your first Souls game is always the hardest. They get easier with each one you play.

I beat almost every DS3 boss by hiding behind a shield, circling around, and hitting them in the butt a lot. Even the alleged hardest bosses took me either one or two tries with that method.
Jimmyfenix

what about mugen souls? that is the hardest souls game
I actually found Demon's Souls harder than Dark Souls, and I started with Dark Souls.
DS3 is easier overall than DS1 (Though DS3 has some really tough optional bosses that are tougher than most of DS1). It's a harder game than DS2 and Bloodborne, though. Those games are too easy on the player.
Dark Souls 2 tried to be harder on the player with some harsh mechanics like breaking chests and health going down on death, but it was too easy in bosses where it mattered.

Bloodborne had fun combat though.
I basically 1-shotted nearly every boss in Bloodborne. Gascoigne, the First Hunter and Ebrietas are the only ones that provide any challenge due to how forgiving that game's systems are.
Dark Souls 3 has numerous bosses that are balanced super well and are really fun. The Dancer, Watchers of the Abyss, Pontiff, the Twins are all really interesting and fairly balanced fights. The Nameless King is also way more interesting and fun than anything in vanilla BB.
Maybe it's because I played pure pyro, but DS3 is the far more interesting balanced game.

Even Jeff, who was the one that gave it 5/5, didn't include it in his top 10.

I beat Dancer and Pontiff on my first try by circling around then. Twins and Nameless King only took me two tries each with that strategy. Nameless King in particular is supremely pathetic. Tons of openings if you can eat a bit of lightning damage. I guess it looks cool. Maybe you should stop screwing around with that fire crap and pick up a goddamn sword and shield. Twins is a good execution of a good idea, but he's so slow.
