They definitely do prefer console single player games in general and high profile titles of those are very often shooters.

But look at their top 10 last year:

1. Super Mario Maker
2. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
3. Rocket League
4. Kerbal Space Program
5. Splatoon
6. Rise of the Tomb Raider
7. Undertale
8. Grow Home
9. Invisible Inc.
10. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

That's a pretty great diverse list of games and "ugh, shooters" is not a thought I would have here.

^Good man Austin got UnderTale in there. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have even known about the game before it became overwhelmingly popular. Played it before it caught on.

And in the end, that's what really matters.

I've been completely off the grid internet-wise for three weeks but listened to the most recent Beastcast on the drive home yesterday. Why is Dan on without anybody talking about it? Did he move to NYC?

There was a wrasslin-style angle where Dan and Jason had a Loser Leaves Town match of Street Fighter V on UPF a few weeks ago. Dan lost, left and moved to the East Coast for 30 days. Something to do with his partner as well I think.

He lost a beer and now has to live in new York.

Dan lost SFV to Jason on UPF and was kicked outta town. Totally not preplanned at all.

 

[strafer]

I want Vinny content.

You could tell it was preplanned because Jason actually won a fighting game match.

you ruined my joke and yet, this also a good one.

I was sold on the game solely from a gif of the tutorial battle with Flowey.

No ragrets, was my GotY.

 

[imBask]

I hate the post-hipsterism on Undertale

it was the cool thing to love undertale, and now it's the cool thing to hate people who love undertale. It's a great game

One planet is not enough to contain Jeff and his insatiable urge to click.

Step aside DOOM, the true GOTY has arrived.

"It's a shame." Jeff on NMS on Bombcast

yea, gonna be in most disappointing list, imo.

 

[Xater]

Clicker games are probably one of the very few game genres I absolutely despise. I just can't see it.

 

[mnz]

NMS sounded like a 2/5 game during that whole discussion. If I heard about it there for the first time, I wouldn't even look at it again.

 

[Archaix]

So when does the AdVenture Capitalist quick look turn into Vinny watching GI Joe PSAs or whatever it does that makes it make sense for a console clicker video to be a half hour long?

Maybe, but it definitely won't win. I think if Hello Games puts out a couple of decent content patches by the end of the year it will do a lot to massage the duders' perception of the game come December.

 

[stump sock]

I like them. They give me something to mess with in bed before falling asleep or while waiting in line somewhere or whatever. well, incremental games anyway. clicking/tapping constantly is dumb

speaking of, Egg, Inc just updated yesterday, which is perfect timing as I was just about to run out of game

 

[Meneses]

Maybe.

What other disappointments have come out this year?

I think SFV is a lock for hottest mess, so unless they want to make it a double winner, they'll probably go for a different game.

They very rarely go back to games even if they get massive updates. That only happens if they stay with it, like with Destiny.

 

[Houndi101]

There are no triple A games I'm excited for (or atleast excited enough to buy on release) for the rest of the year I think.. So good chance to hack away on stuff I've bought on sales? We'll see...

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Quantum Break I guess? But it's not like anyone was eagerly anticipating that game though. There has always been a weird overlap between most disappointing and hottest mess, but SFV will certainly be in both discussions.

QB could be there if Alex fights for it but I'm curious what Vinny thinks of it. If he likes it then it'll be lower on the list. Kinda wish Dan would give it a chance.

I can already hear Jeff saying "Congratulations Street Fighter V! You have won two awards".

great reactions

I wouldn't call SFV disappointing. Everything about it is a dumpster fire but the game itself delivered everything* people were hoping for.

except an Arcade mode holy crap Capcom

 

[AwakenedCloud]

Dan's periscope right now was priceless.

 

[LiK]

i can't watch Periscope right now. hope there's an archive.

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[Kyari]

A+ reaction video, Dan.

 

[shiftplusone]

Look at this cynical game journalist just sitting and watching a thing.


Video made me laugh. CAUGHT IT LIVE. I haven't even watched the trailer myself

Don't, save yourself the pain.

 

[derFeef]

Curious what happens with those silly overractions when this is going to be a good game.

 

[Salty Catfish]

I was sitting here thinking "Please just silently shut down the stream as soon as the trailer ends" and yep, Dan nailed it. A+

[Keyser Soze]

Hopefully Giant bomb Unarchived has the time to sync and PIP Dan's reaction into the corner of the trailer and upload. That's a 100k view video waiting to happen.

lol, was this the only reaction?

I was really hoping someone would do that.

you're being worked

this is how dan gets back to SF

I always thought it would be a great idea to set up a parallel universe of MGS games from Ghost Babel and start anew. Then put some time travel stuff to connect them later down the line.

You could have Sunny fall through from the Prime MGS universe to make sure everyone has eggs.

It should probably be on the list, at least.

I can already hear Jeff saying "Congratulations Street Fighter V! You have won two awards".

Yeah but I also feel like Jason and Jeff have talked about how the core fighting is still great, so it probably won't win Most Disappointing.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

So did Beast just draft Dan ala WWE brand split after the loser leaves town match? I wouldn't mind this being permanent.
