Atleast others had played that game and saw something in it.

I prefer this way of doing it anyway. Better to have a game a person is passionate about than a collective "it's ok i guess"
Perfect for Souls games.

.I'd eat Lord of the Rings branded s'mores.
I found Lotr branded slash fiction involving s'mores.

GB's GOTY 2016's disc release trailer has the award in it.

The nemesis system sure was better than bayonettas dodge mechanic.
Pretty sure it's the only outlet that gave it that. And I still think it's a good choice.
If you told me a site run by Jeff Gerstmann would be the only outlet to give an IO Interactive game GOTY 10 years ago I'd have thought you were crazy.

The nemesis system remains unique over 2 years later making it even more deserving of commendation. Witch Time was boring in 2010.
I don't actually feel that strongly about this argument but I have to strum up some excitement in the thread while we wait for the Giant Bomb work week to start Tuesday afternoon
The Nemesis system is fine. It just isn't that second coming Brad made it out to be, but it makes sense he likes it so much. Brad is all about systems being intertwined and working in the background like a well-oiled machine. The question is if SoM2 can iterate on it in a meaningful way or not.
what gamespot thread?

The Witcher 3 is almost too much game for me. Ive been puttering away at it since December 2015 and was surprised to see Ive put in over 30 hours because every time I start to play I feel like Im buried in content, and have to step away.
So yeasterday I finally finish all the secondary quest in Novigrad and decide to visit the next area which I just assumed was the top of the map.......Nope its a whole new land mass!
Like fuck, I enjoy the game but its just to much sometimes. And then there is the 2 DLC add-ons :'(

IIRC I think Brad was mostly excited by the potential of Nemesis-like systems, and I agree, there are so many ways it could evolve, especially in gangland based games like AC Syndicate.
I've not heard any devs talk about it, but I do wonder if the underpowered CPU cores in current-gen machines have anything to do with there being nothing similar on the horizon? I don't feel like we've seen many meaningful A.I./procedural gen advances in a while.
I don't see the problem
Well now I want to dig out my eardrums to get rid of that sound.

I feel the exact same way. I played it every night for 3 weeks and still barely feel like I scratched the surface and now I'm taking a break from it. No idea when or if I'll ever come back to it.
I hope the same thing doesn't happen with Cyberpunk. I'm way more into that genre so maybe it won't be the same.

Listening to last weeks Beastcast and I think I like it better when Jeff B. isn't on the show, probably one of the few....
Honestly the easiest way to enjoy The Witcher 3 is just to do the main quests and the important side-quests (meaning mostly those that involve characters/events from the main plot). Once you realise 99% of the ? on the map are useless and focus on the meaningful content, the game isn't that overwhelming.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
What if we take their highly scientific GotY lists even more serious and start writing angry emails?
Never put salt in your eyes.
Dammit, I really want to play yakuza, but also $90 aft tax is a lot of dough right now. Aggggghhhh. I should support the Dev shouldn't I, so they keep localizing these things.
God yes please

I'm almost 100 hours in and just started the 2nd DLC. The game is just ridiculous. And the vast majority of content is polished and unique, too.
From the point you're at, I started mainlining the game. I like the side stuff, but I got sick of it after Novograd. It still took a while to finish, but it was well worth it.

He also didn't seem hot on Rage Racer which is in my top 5 games of all time.
Actually I don't think he liked any of the games he played on that stream.... Jeff hates PS1 confirmed!
I didn't expect it, but I thought the show was definitely missing something without him.
Hmm...this would be fun. I doubt they have a CRT in their streaming setup, though. Maybe they could play Typing of the Dead, which I think has a two player mode.
