If there was justice in this world, Furi would win best soundtrack, but instead it's gonna be lame-ass Doom which just sounds like Quake 2's soundtrack remastered.
 
for real though

The real robbery would be steins gate 0 not winning best story.

What games do I need to play to minimize spoilers in the best moment/story/character discussions?

Just took Infinite Warfare back to RedBox, that campaign was pretty awesome.

Titanfall 2 is top of my list, but what else should I make sure I've played?

Probably DOOM..
 
This game was in 2016's VGA nominees, so I think it's fair game:

Xenoblade Chronicles X: MNN+@0・(Part I) aka Ma-non Ship Theme

Titanfall 2, Doom, Inside, Superhot, and Firewatch are the big ones, going by that list on the last page. I imagine the other nominees will be gameplay related achievements, like "killed dat boss, yo" or whatever.

Maybe Uncharted 4 and GoW4 as well? AAA games seem to get mentioned by virtue of their marketing spend, it feels like.
 
Bah, it just occurred to me that the Austin hype made me skip this week's Bombcast for the Beastcast...

I need to hear Drew unloading a full clip into Stardew Valley for myself, or I'll never believe it.
 
Real talk: Civilization VI might have the best OST this year. And it's not just the amazing two Tin songs, the entire OST is fantastic.
Not that it'll win anything over at GB of course. It should, but it won't.

The way the music is connected to a civ's progress through time is genius. But of course DOOM will win. I heard it's Linkin Park or something.
 
I am so stoked for the Game of the Year discussions this year because there will be actual video of the deliberations. Excitement!
 
Titanfall 2 is pretty good, but it still has a lot of the things I despise about modern game design. I'm pretty sure that if you give me the ability to double jump and wallrun I'll forgive a lot of things that would otherwise be dealbreakers for me.

Fuck progression in multiplayer games though. And double fuck Respawn, because it's all their fault that this bullshit is in every game to begin with.
 
I seriously cannot grasp whether or not this game is worth my time from screens like these.

Steins Gate you mean? The main character is meant to be a complete loser that every other character rolls their eyes at, so it's easy to take screens of dumb moments out of context, but it's actually a really interesting story that you should totally play if you're willing to read a VN with no real "gameplay". I haven't tried Steins Gate 0 yet though.
 
Oxenfree has the best OST of the year but no one played it, Watch Dogs 2 had the second best OST of the year but that will be ignored.
 
I regularly forget Rogue One exists, and I really like Star Wars, Donnie Yen, and Mads Mikkelsen. Based on that, I should be a ball of anticipation for the movie, but I barely care.

Its crazy their first non number Star Wars movie is side story that happens weeks before A New Hope in the timeline, is basically a fetch quest and we know how it ends.
