Don't tell me this! I also just bought a 1060 and have been eyeing DOOM as a good way to see what it can do... But I know if I buy it I'm going to start playing it immediately and I really need to finish playing Dragon Age Inquisition first.

The game gets discounted pretty heavily when there is a sale, so I'd wait for that anyways.

 

[derFeef]

I wonder how much of Forza 3 PC performance problems factor into Jeffs review.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

how many times did fortunate son loop in that watch dogs 2 video

Wondering whether I should get a stationary bike and ride it everyday while watching an ER episode. 🤔

Tried watching the Deadly Premonition ERs but never finished them. This could be helpful.

Or I could watch TED Talks or something.


SFV as hottest mess is alright. NMS is undoubtedly the biggest disappointment though. If Brad brings up some stupid game design reasons again I'll quit.

Also I listened to the GOTY 2015 podcast again and I hate Brad. I don't really remember why (listened to it while falling asleep yesterday) but I'm sure it's justified. It's Brad.

As soon as get my own apartment I'm buying one of those bikes. They are great for working out if you are allergic to basically everything like me and thus don't like biking outside.

I could see those two switching as well. SFV as biggest dosappointment and NMS as hottest mess.

Nearing the end of my second DOOM playthrough and its just as good as the first time.

If it doesn't beat that Overwatch trash to GOTY I will write a very strongly worded internet post that might upset no-one's feelings.

 

[hamchan]

SFV hottest mess and NMS biggest disappointment I can accept. NMS is a more concentrated mess while SFV has been spread out.

(Though honestly I would rather NMS take both categories.)

 

[disappeared]

It was so heartwarming listening to Jeff gush over Rez. I felt the feelings he described exactly. My good buddy had an import copy on the DC (burned to CD-R courtesy of his older brother) back when that scene was blazing and goddamn if I didn't sit there and finish it in one sitting and got the good ending on top. Totally fucking surreal. I really hope I can experience Rez VR one day. Fuckin shivers just thinking about it.

same, because I don't think they were expecting NMS to be amazing

 

[strafer]

I hope they do something fun for this years GOTY.

Did Brad speak a lot about his feeling about NMS post-release? If he did, I've completely blocked it out of my mind. I started wondering about it now because he seemed really excited by the prospect of what the game could be (though of course he didn't succumb to any mindless hype) pre-release.

I hope they do something fun for this years GOTY.

I think it would be really, really cool if they recorded their deliberations in full and put them up on the site.

 

[Twin Tails]

They'll gain access to 7 vive headsets and goty chat will take place in rec room

 

[hamchan]

I would love a video version of their GOTY deliberations so we can see the hate and disdain for each other build up on their faces.

 

[oti]

I want Jeff to put Mario Maker 3DS on the list and I want it to win GOTY.

 

[repeater]

Vinny would hate Jeff even more than he hates Shenmue.

 

[Jintor]

we can finally see that fistfight they always have every year and cut out because it doesn't play well on audio

 

[Johndoey]

I would pay up to 2 dollars to see Vinny and Jeff fight.

 

[Twin Tails]

There doesn't seem to be any fights worth fighting this year, maybe Overwatch vs Doom but we all know Doom is gonna win.

 

[oti]

I hope not. I really do.

Brad's "but it's just another [franchise]" rule will miraculously not come up while Overwatch will be "just another team-based FPS".

 

[strafer]

We all know Boxmaker will win GOTY. You all saw how much Jeff loved it.

I think after release Brad's mentioned several times how disappointed he is with the game. (the space travel for example. but he's still enjoying the highs of it)

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Man, got back to Tales from the Borderlands, I'd forgotten how much good, light-hearted fun it is.

I never found Borderlands 2's humor nearly as offensive as everyone else seems to, but I'm still kinda worried by the idea of the Tales characters showing up in Borderlands 3 only to be completely ruined.

 

[Twin Tails]

Drew just joined the Doom party 💃, he'll join with Doom like he did with Mario Maker.

 

[Zaph]

I hope not. I really do.

Game was both great and a complete surprise. Perfect GOTY material

 

[strafer]

Forza Horizon 3 will probably be up there.

Maybe Uncharted 4.

 

[mnz]

Uncharted 4 kind of came and went. Barely heard anything about it a week after release.

Borderlands 2 only got terrible whenever a WACKY!!!! character was on screen (Tiny Tina, Claptrap, Handsome Jack). The rest was mostly fine.

 

[hamchan]

DOOM, Hitman, The Witness, Overwatch, Inside,

These are your current locks. Stardew Valley too if Dan insists on it.

Funnily enough I can see Uncharted 4 being the number 11 pick of "Everyone else on the internet loves this game but we don't so we're knocking it off the top 10 last".

 

[strafer]

Uncharted 4 kind of came and went. Barely heard anything about it a week after release.

That is what makes a great game. It's so good it stops people from talking about it because they are so stunned.

 

[jaina]

That is what makes a great game. It's so good it stops people from talking about it because they are so stunned.

So it should get about the same ranking as Inside

 

[FStop7]

As lame as NMS is at least it didn't install a rootkit on your computer, unlike SFV.

 

[jgminto]

That is what makes a great game. It's so good it stops people from talking about it because they are so stunned.

I'm guessing this is what Naughty Dog fanboys actually believe.

 

[Meneses]

Uncharted 4 is better than the top 3 Giant Bomb will have.

Spoiler

Unless Hitman is there

Yeah, it surprisingly didn't suck. Yay.

I mean, I get it. All jokes aside, I get why they like it that much and since Brad would marry DOOM if that was legal (although I'd guess that it actually is in some states) it makes sense. But to me (I just played the demo and don't cate about DOOM at all) it's a fast-paced shooter. I get these have been kinda absent for a while (for a reason I would guess) and that it iterates on that niche. And that's great. But GOTY? I don't know.

Forza Horizon 3 will probably be up there.

Maybe Uncharted 4.

Forza Horizon 3 is another big mystery when it comes to GB. They loved the first, they disliked the second (which was objectively better in every way) and now they love the third one again.

Maybe GB just hates Europe?!?!

I'm just asking questions!

 

[FStop7]

Doom seems like Shadow of Mordor all over again.

It's fun as hell and they enjoyed it, goty isn't much more complicated than that. Look at previous ones, it doesn't even need to be a masterpiece.

 

[Twin Tails]

Doom is so good thou

 

[Strax]

I hope not. I really do.

Brad's "but it's just another [franchise]" rule will miraculously not come up while Overwatch will be "just another team-based FPS".

To be fair DOOM is very different from the older games.

Lowest common denominator for sure.

Sure. But Brad and Jeff make it complicated themselves. They want new things to win. Otherwise Bayonetta 2 would've won 2014.

Doom is so good thou

Is it GOTY good dou?

To be fair DOOM is very different from the older games.

Sure. But is it the best game of the year? FF XV should win is all I'm saying.

Spoiler

lol

Just had a dream of hiding from and being hunted by numerous lions through a mansion. Fucking terrifying, I'm afraid to go back to sleep. Help. ��

Quick Look: Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

 

[Johndoey]

Uncharted is basically guaranteed to land somewhere between 5-10.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Dan's knowledge of history on UPF.....................................................

I love you Dan but stick to Wrestling history please

 

[Meguro]

Uncharted will get 10th.
It's this years Witcher 3.

 

[Incandenza]

I wonder if Fire Emblem will even be mentioned.

 

[oti]

Picross 3D 2 should win and we all know it. Thankfully Drew's on board now. The dream is alive!

Man, it's so fun talking about those utterly dumb GOTY deliberations.

 

[FStop7]

I wonder if we'll get an SMT4:A quick look.

 

[Death Metalist]

Quick Look: Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

This is the only DR I haven't played. I don't think I will though with so many other games coming out, I'd like to spend time with newer games.

This might give SFV the edge. I love the game, have hundreds of hours played, but it is a total mess. Like...do you know any $60 game that put its storymode in 4 months after release? Or a fighting game that has no arcade mode? And the whole input lag problem and the unreliable servers...


That game looks decent, I just think Overwatch took all attention away from it. Either they are waiting or it's just flying under the radar.

God's honest? The rootkit shitshow wont get real traction in News on this week's Bombcast. It's not the kind of problem that gets hits (bad behavior vs. unmet expectations).
