So hitman for GOTY over doom

So Brad is bias against the PS4 Pro because he says that Infamous doesn't run at 60fps on the Pro?
Per your link:
Even if you account that sometimes hitting 60fps is "running at 60fps", the most I would think you could accuse GB of being is slightly misinformed. Realistically, it sounds like people are bickering about semantics.
Jeff states fairly frequently that they do not run framerate tests and are not a website to go to for technical details.

That's worse, though.

I usually enjoy your posts. At least I can't remember you posting anything that made me question your sanity.
I hate you.

Over a remaster of the original Crash Bandicoot, I agree with you.

I don't know how to respond to things that aren't criticism.
They didn't say but I am not sure Vinny's wife would be too chuffed to be left alone with two nippers for longer than a week.
I suspect a week is just long enough to get the podcasts done and then any video skits or roundups are done on their own coasts - along with the long edit job.
As fun as the skits are - I could strand to lose them. Those TV show parodies and the FMV ones were great but it cost them weeks of work, and nearly killed the video guys, for 20 minutes in total of entertainment.
That bit where they sit on the couch and do another quick look of the winning games. I could lose that too. Great games they may be but I have seen plenty of DOOM and Hitman thanks.
Yup, as well as a very spot-on conversation about politics and automation/robotic's impact on it.
They'll be on next week's bombcast as well

but the first Crash Bandicoot has the most to gain out of a remaster
2016 releases I've experienced and want to reward, as of today:
Tokyo Mirage Session #FE
DOOM
Hitman (2016)
The Witness
Ratchet & Clank (2016)
Final Fantasy XV
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Forza Horizon 3
Hover Junkers
Ultimate Chicken Horse
no, Gladio

Ok I made a list. They are not in any particular order.
The Witness (haven't finished)
Quantum Break (haven't finished)
Battlefield 1
Titanfall 2
DOOM (only just started)
Overwatch
The Division
A Chair in a Room
No Man's Sky
Out of Ammo
I can't believe I still haven't played Civ, XCOM 2, Tomb Raider... The games I haven't played are a better list!

I didn't consider Tomb Raider PC for 2016, otherwise it would certainly be on my list.
If this is what all the cool kids are doing these days then I guess I'll post a list. These are in order from 1 to 10.
The Witness
Hitman
Uncharted 4
Overwatch
Furi
Sid Meier's Civilization VI
Bound
The Banner Saga 2
Forza Horizon 3
Abzu
I have hope that The Last Guardian will eventually be here by the end of the year.

everything you've said about ratchet series has been washed away
Good thing my ps4 copy is still sealed

Eh, I think Street Fighter V would still be the Most Disappointing winner.

It's crazy that The Last Guardian is coming out so late this year.
Ooh, forgot about that. I need to play it!
Yeah I understand it wouldn't qualify, but let's be real it might as well be a 2016 game.
Ooh, forgot about that. I need to play it!
Nein. Stop.
I don't think I've played 10 2016 games. Here goes nothing.
SFV
y'all are haters and ugly inside
Picross 3D 2
The Witness
Pokémon Moon
Fire Emblem
Uncharted 4
...
Forgot the rest
wow, you are going hard on the fishing for criticism angle today...
It's really cool, and I hope it can at least get some recognition for Best Style or Best Music.
It's also a shame that they are recording GOTY this week because Dead Rising 4 seems to be making an impressive run at Most Disappointing.

I really included it to emphasize my exclusion of Firewatch. If I numbered that list it would be 10.
Wait is that game really coming out this year?
Next Tuesday
there's a reason I remember you as the NBA2K guy and expert...
Last Guardian is going to murder it in sales
in an NBA-style blowout, 127 to 91
You are a nice person and you deserve happiness.
The PS4 Pro's lack of UHD disc support is mind boggling.
"HDR" is a nebulous concept that doesn't (AFAIK) have any actual standardization attached to it so implementations are all over the place. I'm going to scrutinize the hell out of any potential 4K+HDR TV purchase before committing for both ease of HDR implementation and input lag with HDR enabled.
I don't necessarily think Brad is biased for or against any platforms but he loves to triple down on his opinions.
Miami is fucking hot and humid in a way that nowhere else is.

Crazy! I seriously thought that was like a Fall 2017 game.

Wow that's worse than me. Do you player older games or just no time to play much of anything?

punch club is such a confusing thing. like... with some balancing it could be fun but it's kind of fundamentally fucked as-is
I like the entire concept of it, but if the combat system itself would have been manual, it would have been all it needed.

well, that and the constant maintenance arms race. and then the times where you think you've gotten the upper hand on all the maintenance and you get robbed on your way to the pizza shop or something. game is ruthless, but in the least possible rewarding way
Giant Bomb is FFXV?
Pretty much nothing but older games, either stuff I've been meaning to play or just games I like that I replayed. If I made a top ten of the games I've played this year, it'd look something like:
Fight Night Champion
Dragon's Dogma
FTL
Trails of Cold Steel 2
Dragon's Crown
Devil Summoner 2
Catherine
Mass Effect 1
Yakuza 4
Chrono Cross
And the micro management in Punch Club was a gigantic bitch. I was surprised I played as long as I did. Ended up just cheating and using cheat engine after a while.
