if there's one genre that lends itself well to hearing 10 second clips on an iphone speaker, it's post-rock

doesn't matter because doom is walking away with best soundtrack without even blinking.
someone will make an argument for thumper and will be roundly ignored. the end.
Jeff already mentioned that he doesn't like Thumper's music so that will happen unless Alex goes all in on it.

I can already see Jeff's reaction so a single synth note for 2 mins straight while someone tries to explain how good its gonna get in a second. I love the NMS soundtrack though.

Wait, does Rez classify for the OST award due to its re-release? That's #1 if so. Rez soundtrack is goat.

Reading a wiki is just as bad as listening to music on their phone speakers outta context for a game to determine if the OST is any good. It's all very dumb and just a quick way to fill up the picks.

Thumper isn't that great of a music track actually. I mean it's good but listening to it on its own isn't great.
Pokemon Sun and Moon should have an actual running at best music.

Rez shouldn't qualify for Best Must, just as any remaster isn't eligible regardless of how much they added.
Is there new music in Rez Infinite? That could qualify for Best Song I would say.

FFXV is so damn relaxing. Keep wanting to use it as a podcast game, but then I keep pausing the podcasts just to enjoy relaxing in the game.

Area X track is new and it's amazing.
It's going to be hard to listen to them knock Hitman down to #2 because of "jank"
I'm not looking forward to that at all.

Agreed, it is awesome. Having a great time just exploring and questing at my own pace.

I feel like Pokemon Sun and Moon are super great in a ton of ways and music is just one of them. I think mainline Pokemon games will always be out of these conversations because of how slow the changes are. Sun and Moon is the first time I would say all of the improvements have added up to a WAY better game.
I also really enjoyed Yo-Kai Watch 2 and think some of them would really have enjoyed it but I also don't expect it to come up unless Dan's fiancee was to show up, lol
What will be the Lair of the Shadow Broker vs. Minerva's Den marathon debate of the year?
place your bets now.
Or which will be the Fallout 4 debate again? That was pretty heated between Jeff v Austin and Brad.
The actual game of overwatch is non canon. Overwatch is still disbandedAt this point I am not sure what is actual official Overwatch canon and what is slash fiction anymore.
I am not kidding.

I could see Hitman taking that spot. Jeff trying to move it down because of the jank and controls, Brad and Dan arguing against that.

Dan/Brad/Vinny is a pretty good combo to fight for a game. If Doom was not absolutely amazing I think Hitman would almost be a lock.

Jeff did good by standing his ground on Fallout 4. When a game is broken to this degree (on top of being disappointing in some of its design), it has to be called out, and it has to count against it. That it's a Bethesda game doesn't exempt it from criticism. Like Jeff said, we have to hold games to a higher standard.

Agreed. Sun and Moon feels like a pretty sizable jump between the shakeup for badges, all the QoL improvements, and the whole region just being better than Kalos. I liked X/Y fine, but there feels like some actual challenge in Sun/Moon

Honestly I could see Brad moreso knocking the game for it's "jank" when it's really just him being bad at the game.
It's incredibly obvious that was where the story was heading. It's generic as fuck.I disagree. I thinkit was a great way to have the story go. You are constantly saving Chloe in the story and over time it is causing more and more damage, and it all culminates in Max having to come to terms with her best friend dying, that she can't keep manipulating time to avoid that outcome. It didn't feel like a "basic and generic friendship story" to me. I thought it was well done.
Uhm yeah, the story ended at where the episodes led to . Does it need a crazy twist or what's your point?It's incredibly obvious that was where the story was heading. It's generic as fuck.
I should really watch the LiS playthrough.
Do we have a list of MGS V Scanlon must watch episodes. I don't care about the filler.
basically any parts with cutscenes. other than that, you can leave it in the background and use it as a podcast. they talk about a lot of random shit during it.

I do not think Brad is going to go to bat for Hitman over Doom.
of course not. he beat doom on ultraviolence. he can't take four steps in Hitman without fucking up.

Omg future of the left on jefflr Alex has made this show the absolute best.
It would've been interesting if the wrap was actually something interesting instead of as stated the most obvious generic shit it the world. I'm not going to praising the story for committing to it's dull conclusion.Uhm yeah, the story ended at where the episodes led to . Does it need a crazy twist or what's your point?

Did Brad get the Platinum for DOOM?
he said he did. his psn profile is private though.

Cool. I think Jeff will probably try to get Titanfall 2 up there. That's the only game I can see Jeff fighting for against DOOM. Can't believe he beat the campaign multiple times.

How long does it take to beat Doom? I'd like to play it before the end of the year.

probably in the 7-8 hour range unless you're a wizard or just hopeless at it
e: er, HLTB says 12 hours. I've played through it twice and it didn't seem that long. but maybe that's a good sign
Probably around twelve or thirteen hours, give or take. Though that's a rough estimate with a decent chunk of time dedicated to rooting for collectables.How long does it take to beat Doom? I'd like to play it before the end of the year.

What do you guys think is the best difficulty to play Doom on? I like a challenge but not having to replay sections a ton of times.

IIRC I played it on Normal and it was a fair challenge, I'd go for that.

I played Normal. You can always go back and dial it up after you beat it.

I agree to a degree, but Brad's point, which I agree more strongly with, is that Bethesda's games allow for the most emergence and randomness for a game in the AAA space. His claim was that it may be impossible for you to bug fix a game made with the foundations of Fallout 3/4, simply because there are too many underlying systems running at once.

I played it on normal and thought it was kinda easy so maybe try one up from that?

I played on Normal.
I'd have the Platinum (my only one) if it wasn't for the Ultra Nightmare achievement. Never made it past the first fight.

I think it took me something like 12-14 hours, but I messed around in each area after clearing it looking for secrets or reloading them to complete challenges. I feel like the best way to play it was playing maybe 1-2 levels a day only because they are all quite large and varied.
