Deus Ex and Dishonored are both things I could see getting a ton of love GotY time if they do things right. Deus Ex can't be too long or they'll trail off it and then hold it against the game. Dishonored probably just needs a compelling narrative with smart level design. This is assuming these games are steps up compared to their predecessors in ways beyond "We made a sequel here's the extra stuff that it's supposed to have."

Imagine if FFXV made it on the list. 😏

 

[yami4ct]

Yup, and I bet they will check back in like they do with Destiny when that game has new content.

A new raid or major content update for a co-op game is much different than a new hero or two and a new map. I think the kind of rolling updates OW will get will be great for the community at large, but most of the crew will ignore them. They will acknowledge they exist and barely touch them if they do at all.

Doom will definitely be above Overwatch

Spoiler

and both of them below Destiny: New expansion amirite!!!!1111!!

From the description of it, it sounds like even Brad will be bummed out by the new expansion.

Imagine if FFXV made it on the list. ��

I know I'm gonna absolutely love FFXV. It seems like such my type of game. I can feel it. That game looks better than it has any right to be.

 

[Jintor]

i think they would have to be hella games to beat doom. That game is eating their brains.

 

[Data West]

Shaolin vs Wutang just makes me sad that there's not a better version of that, and sad that there's no Sleeping Dogs 2

 

[Jintor]

sleepy dawgs~

 

[Data West]

Waking up every morning reminds me that I' msad there's no Sleeping Dogs 2 tbf

Will Brad and Dan ever complete an elusive target mission?

Together and on air? Never.

I see overwatch excitement going into the third week of June, a pickup at the first big update, and either minimal to none motion in overwatch until October/November. At least with the guys. 5th place. 4th if it's heated deliberations.

 

[Jintor]

what a season, what a season

 

[Meneses]

If Blizzard is smart, they'll release a big update near the end of the year to remind people.

 

[Tubobutts]

If don't know, now that Overwatch porn is illegal they'll probably completely forget about it in a month.

Community will reach MOBA levels of toxicity by then I'd think. That game is going to do fine and I think it will retain a fantastic player pop, but I think it'll lose a lot of people when the shine of people being shitty wears off.

 

[BUNTING1243]

jeff has written over a thousand reviews? jfc

edit: danny's passion for gamespot is pretty impressive. good for him.

 

[Data West]

yeah towards the end they definitely start getting hit with loads of white white blue white treasure chests

 

[LiK]

OMFG, Shaolin vs Wutang is an amazing homage to 70's martial arts flicks, I wish the character animations were smoother tho.

In all the games Ive played, communication has been nil. Maybe on the pc where you can type, but on the PS4 its been pretty breezy

That's because right now the game is filled with low skill players. As the game progresses, the average skill level will increase and communication will be almost required to compete. Players who don't want to communicate will get pushed out. Given just how important coordination is with this game, and it doesn't have a constant F2P population refresh, this is kind of guaranteed to happen.

We shall see

There is no precedent for it on consoles but I shall give you doubt of the benefit.

 

[jgminto]

I doubt it will get that bad, a good team comp will be enough most of the time.

 

[LiK]

Fuck, watching Jeff open loot crates makes me wanna buy some...

 

[Death Metalist]

Catching up on UPF, hopefully Vinnyvania gets archived soon. Had a busy day so, lots of good content around which is great with Demo Derby later today.

Unprofessional Fridays: 05/27/2016

To get ready for the long weekend, we're going to mow the lawn, put on a chef's apron, assume the drunken fist stance, and crack open some loot boxes.

Same here(Xbox One ver.). Then again the game already has everything in a wheel you want to say, as well as the balance tips and the incredible sound design where most characters talk by themselves when they do something.

 

[ryseing]

This is on you. Not blizzard 😈

No. I need to offload my poor choices on an outside entity.

History of Gamespot video from Danny.

Man, super nostalgic induced ride. Finally we know now what Ryan MacDonald is up to, one of my favorite reviews of his. It's funny that his last tweet was and still is about his white house incident.

https://twitter.com/JohnVignocchi/status/736382896890470401

Looks like he's working on his E3 entrance.

Good shit.

 

[pizzacat]

I heard Phil Spenser went full 360 on a swing once.

He only did it once tho

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh shit guys

Overwatch is pretty good!

What are we fighting for though?

 

[LiK]

I did it. Thanks for enabling me Jeff.

Alex has already forgotten about it.

Hope Cowboy's in on this, he's worked on the whole series, right?

Can't imagine a better way to start my Saturday than watching Jeff open 50 Overwatch boxes.

 

[Data West]

I really appreciate that Overwatch's cosmetic is a total skin

I do not want to mish mash 5 different inventory/hat/accessory slots

 

[hamchan]

I think Dota cosmetics being in parts makes them look not as good as these full skin Overwatch cosmetics.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I hope they delayed No Man's Sky just because people were so angry at Kotaku for reporting that they will delay No Man's Sky.
That game won't ever come out.

 

[NumberThree]

Dota has Arcanas which are really cool, but there's only a few of them.

 

[Data West]

I like a lot of the skins in HOTS, but most of them can't be bought with in-game currency and are overpriced so fuck that.

 

[Exterminieren]

If the duders stick with it, I can see Overwatch making the upper echelons of the list- this year's Rocket League, essentially.

 

[strafer]

Where is Drew?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

OMFG, Shaolin vs Wutang is an amazing homage to 70's martial arts flicks, I wish the character animations were smoother tho.

I don't know what the crew did on the game, but from what I've seen the damage is pathetically low outside of grabs, the animation isn't great, the backgrounds can obscure the fighters, and there are some really stupid animation-hitbox problems.

It's not a good fighting game.

 

[strafer]

So has anyone asked Dan what he thinks about this whole Overwatch porn scandal?

 

[repeater]

Was there a Vinnyvania stream yesterday?

 

[hwy_61]

There's an overwatch porn scandal? Wait, why is it a scandal? Porn parodies everything!

EDIT: ohhh it's a scandal on Blizzards part, got it. That's so dumb.

Still Early Access so I have hope that the final game will be better. I'm impressed with how well they made it look and feel like those old movies.

I hope he's got serviceable Hawaiianese.

There are some shitty people on pc, but even those people haven't been so shitty that I've wanted to turn off the chat, it's normally like 1 comment along the lines of "lol, my team sucks". I imagine the game will have some long legs before the community becomes toxic, especially if Blizzard keeps new content coming at a regular rate.
