The all digital future is acceptable only when we are all networked with broadband.
So fucking never is when that'll happen thanks to US ISPs.

BREAKING:

#1 game of the year
Overwatch
Alex's
It's kind of like the digital future vs physical games. I know we are heading towards our digital future, but massive patches day one to get around the issues of releasing a physical disc does need to stop. The issue is with passing cert, which shouldn't be anywhere near the nightmare it currently is.
thanks to GOP wanting to get rid of net neutrality, it might get worse.
I'm not sure about the Crash N. Sane package, but I tend to think going from PS1 to PS4 probably means it'll be a remake.
Crash is definitely a remake

Not sure I like the video for deliberations, at least with audio I can only imagine Dan looking depressed during his silent stints, now we all witness it in 720 resolution.

Alex will single-handily get
to number 2 on the game of the year list.

Listening to this category now and when I heard the initial list I thought that would be a lock for the winner, really surprised it doesn't even make runner up.

Yep, I think it's definitely locked at #2 given its spot on so many lists.
Brad will be the deciding vote based on Jeff's stance on the game. I think it'll come in at #5.
i love it. i like seeing their reactions to some discussions.

GOTY stuff is always more fun when there aren't any games I'm emotionally invested in, lol. 2016 was a great year for games but I'm not getting occasionally annoyed during the deliberations like I did when stuff like Undertale or Life is Strange came up last year.
Ditto, I enjoyed a lot of games this year but there's nothing I will die on a hill for this year.

I get the feeling this years GOTY is going to be one of those things they regret like when Skyrim won over Saints Row or when Uncharted 2 beat Arkham

I dunno, I definitely dig its style. Hell, heavy metal, demons, giving no fucks, gore, over the top violence, fast pace with a rocking soundtrack. Definitely has a strong style, not sure on Best Looking though, I mean, it looks good and runs well and is smooth and all, but much like BF1 was dismissed for "it's pretty mud" it's just pretty demons and gore.
I think people need to stop looking at "Best Style" as "best art style" because it's not that, it's more of a vibe (or "swagger" as they say a few times). It's the attitude and presentation and more a "sum of its parts" than just what pictures are on screen. Style is a category where Tokyo Mirage Sessions could actually stand a chance of winning because of it's fun, upbeat, colourful J-pop world and slick menus and special attacks that are basically dances and songs but it would get ignored for best looking because it's just a fairly good looking anime game with some interesting designs but outshone by other games that are both better looking in a technical sense and have more unique and interesting looking characters and worlds.

A reminder that Titanfall 2 's day one patch was all of 8 MB or something. *Cough*
Switch Titanfall 2 and superhot, and possibly shuffle it with inside. I think 2 and 3 could swap but I don't know if Alex has that fight in him. He's been feisty this year.
Eh, if i don't pay attention to a game, i'll be surprised by it.
There is some merit to the argument that a blizzard can't really be "surprisingly good". At least on the level of biggest surprise of the year.

I think the thing about day one patches is they are fine up to a point. If iot's small and just bug fixes then that is great! Fix those minor bugs that slipped out with the game, patch those little things that were caught after, tweak and balance some stuff that on hindsight wasn't up to your standards. Don't give us 10GB of new dialouge and movies and text and missions and shit that should've been in the game from the start. Yeah, it sucks when the publishers force you to ship before you want and I understand that now most of the time you need to keep working on the game after the disc is printed. But just stop.
Look at how it was before this gen/latter half of last gen. Back to when games were finished on the disk (for the vast majority). Yes, there were games that had bugs and other issues that you would have liked to fix but the games were done. The ability to patch games should be used to patch those issues, to fix those bugs that you wouldn't have had a chance to before, to tweak and balance the game post release to make it as good as it can be, to ADD new stuff to increase the lifespan of the game, NOT to finish it. Imagine if something like FFXV was finished and shipped complete and then the post release stuff was all fixing bugs, adding new content and tweaking the game (in the "oh, we didn't realise this shit chapter we made was shit" and "oh, people want character development?" way).

It was never really a question to anyone that has been paying attention this year, even well before deliberations started.
