I would assemble a top 10 lost, but I don't actually play games.
That's okay you can still sit in on the podcast

Still lots more Laserdisc and Vectrex games to go through
Well he does mention it was the Xbox version.
Xbox One release: September 29, 2016
Damn, son.
Enjoyed the most recent one
Yeah it was a hell of a wait. Worth waiting for though!

I know! 2016 confirmed to be worst timeline.
I really like Watch Dogs 2 so far but man it does that thing open world games do sometimes htat I hate.
The first mission essentially has you start inSausalito outside of San Francisco and then says 'ok go to San Francisco' like you got this little area, make some use of it first. That was part of the awesomeness of San Andreas was you slowly but surely made your way through the game's world appreciating every little detail because the storyline made use of each little area and got you familiar with it. You didn't start on Grove Street and have the game say 'ok go to San Fierro' instantly. Ubisoft your worlds don't suck anymore. Appreciate them a little more. Make more use of them before you rush me through a massive chunk of it on the way to a mission. It's why one of my favorite gaming memories is driving into sAn Fierro for the first time coming out of the countryside. A whole new city for you to explore after you just got familir with Los Santos.

San Andreas was so good and I'm afraid that I'll never like an open world as much as that one

So they are recording all the GOTY stuff this week?
Doing it before FFXV and TLG seems a bit much.
Like shit... we all know Doom is winning this thing but lets at least pretend other games have a shot

What about Dead Rising?
San Andreas was amazing. Still my favourite GTA. I think it's way better than 4 and 5.

I think even Dead Rising forgot it was coming out this year.

I wish The Witness got a little more mainstream love. Seeing it just under the indie game category on those game awards thing is a huge bummer and a real disservice to how well made and executed it is. The things that made me feel from a purely mechanical standpoint easily make it my GOTY. The satisfaction of discovering rules, finding their subtleties, tackling the challenge mode with no time left, the moment you discover the natural puzzles; just on gameplay satisfaction alone it's a huge triumph.

The Witness would probably be my GOTY if it wasn't for Hitman

I completely forgot about Ratchet and Clank. That's on my list for sure

Going back to finish The Witness is going to be tough. I at least want to finish DOOM, Inside, and The Witness before GOTY podcasts.

I loved The Witness but the puzzles in the mountain can go fuck themselves. Making stuff hard to see and actually uncomfortable to look at was a really poor decision imo. I started looking up solutions there because I don't think I was going to get through it otherwise.
Same, I hated the last area, and also started to look up solutions for the first time since I was having zero fun trying to figure things out.
I just finished Obduction and the last two puzzles (the maze and pod puzzles) totally ruined that experience for me. All of the exploration elements were thrown away in favor of tedious back-tracking and that incomprehensible numbering system.

I must admit I didn't finish The Witness but I made it really far. I still wanna put it on my list.

You can fight NPC Tourists in Pokémon Sun and Moon who take selfies when you beat them.

Sounds like a great game.
Any guesses on whether they got The Last Guardian in time to review prior to GotY? My money is on a hard "no" and will instead get coverage early in 2017 instead.
Inside is on my (not so) short list of games to wrap up. At least that and Virginia could both be finished in an evening. I still need to wrap up Titanfall 2 as well. It's been far too long on The Witness for me to go back and try to finish at this point. I think I'll leave it unbeaten at this point.
