I don't often watch the video podcasts, but the GOTY will be great to watch, at least day 4 and 5 when they are all worn down, pissed at each other, and just want the madness to end

i won't miss austin "fallout 4" walker
Eh, for my money, Austin usually has more interesting things to say than the rest of them. Sure, maybe you don't always agree with his conclusions, but I'm more interested in good GOTY debates than I am in any one member's position.
 
everyone knows goty is at its best when Jeff and Brad are championing different games. Everything points to them liking the same Games this year which means the two heavyweights won't be battling as much. The hype and intensity around Mario Maker and MGS V last year was so much fun

Velvet sundown of the year would be more like rec room.

The whole "this is great because you know it's another human on the other end doing dumb shit" is pretty inherent to velvet sundown.
 
Dan's effort was very good but Jeff was just fucking ice cold with Life is Strange.

If they had taken a temperature he might have been at 0 degrees at that point.

Jeff I feel came from a place where he just absolutely fucking hated Life is Strange. Dan came from a place where it was a pyrrhic solution to getting small games cut.
 
I'm still kicking myself that I never got around to playing undertale despite buying it at release.

Is it still worth a look? I never spoiled anything for myself plot wise but I can't help but feel my impression will be coloured by the crazy fandom/hype that followed it.

I would absolutely give it a shot. I went I late and still liked it a lot.
 
Are there any good 40-50 inch 4K tvs that are <$600?

Not trying to dissuade you or anything, but isn't 4K a non-factor with anything less than 65"? Though, it's definitely understandable if space is an issue. If you find one you like, make sure HDR is included. That's the real game changer, apparently.

This seems to meet your requirements (and has HDR!), but it looks like stock is running out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DUTL4OI/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It's a 40" Samsung for $478 2016 model (but only 20 are left in stock).

Edit- It's sold by a third-party seller, but it appears they have a very good seller rating. Plus, shipping is free.

well shit man, they actually had some good deals for that size at wally's world lately


Samsung 50"

Phillips 50"

Vizio 50"

Listed from highest price to lowest~

Wow. Those are getting cheap fast. I can't wait to see what prices will be after CES. It should be noted only the Samsung has HDR from what I could see. Personally, having no HDR is a deal breaker for me.

Honestly don't give a fuck about 4k, but if im buying a new tv it might as well support it. I just chromecast everything to my tv anyway.

These look like some good options though. Thanks bruvs.

Relistening to the 2011 gotycasts and man the arguments for both skyrim and SR3 now sound so asinine really.

Kinda just make both games sound bad.
They kinda are.

Did the others really like Doom that much? I've been under the impression that only Dan, Jeff, and Brad really went into it, with the others dipping their toe in it or not playing it at all.
What you're saying is that 100% of the relevant votes want Doom to win. Jason will mumble "anime", Alex will whisper "Civ 6?" and Drew will breath some air, handsomely.

I wasn't really listening to GB much in 2011, but I've gone back and listened to those deliberations. It's truly insane to me that Saint's Row 3 was a contender for GOTY.

Yeah but the greens are too busy stabbing each other in NSW and lmao shorten

I mean at least the general sense of incompetency all around keeps everything at a slightly negative level instead of spirallng out to a crazy negative level like the rest of the world.

The runtimes are short some days because that's when Vinny put someone in the hospital for pulling another "Disappearance of Rocket League" and they had to cut the discussion short.

That's why he's leaving, he feels guilty.
