The timing doesn't line up for any of Vinny's antics to land in Best Moment, right? Knife over the balcony and psychopath Shiek are both instant classics, but they did the videos after the podcasts right?

But, for the spoilered reason above, the Witness has Best Moment on lockdown.

 

[Tubobutts]

There are too many potential best moments or sequences in Hitman.

 

[Smurfinator]

Geez what's with all the doom and gloom in this thread?omg

Haha.
Love me some DOOM puns.

 

[Death Metalist]

Hitman best moment is Brad killing Busey.

Yes

 

[kiguel182]

I'm curious what will win best story. Most of the games they liked this year weren't super story heavy from what I recall.

 

[wild wild rice]

Fuck, I need to play Hitman. When's that shit going on sale again?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I'm curious what will win best story. Most of the games they liked this year weren't super story heavy from what I recall.

I think Uncharted might win, but I feel like they will twist it on what a "story" is.

 

[kiguel182]

If the best moment in witness is

Spoiler

when you realize you can draw lines in the environment

then man, that did nothing for me. I didn't finish the game so if it's something in the end then I have no idea.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

What categories today?

I need to skip moments, too much stuff I haven't finished or begun yet.

watch Doom take it

:trollface

 

[jwhit28]

I'm okay with Doom getting the praise in various categories that it's gotten with the exception of Jeff and Brad saying it's more impressive looking than Uncharted 4 in Best-Looking Game and using an argument that could apply to both (which Drew brought up). I love me some Doom, but Uncharted 4 is just a marvel to look at.

I think the gap between Doom 3 and Doom 2016 is way bigger than Uncharted 3 to Uncharted 4. Doom 3's hell was also pretty terrible.

Yeah, that part of the Witness really didn't do much for me either. I enjoyed finding and solving those puzzles after I figured it out, but the moment of discovery didn't wow me. It seemed like something that was pretty obviously going to be a thing once I started seeing

Spoiler

partially completed circles and lines all over the world.

The best moment for me was realizing about two-thirds of the way through the game that I had basically learned a new language.

Inside probably.

 

[bigkrev]

If they do Best Game Mechanic, the headshot indicator in Hitman has to win.

 

[Zornack]

Doom's story is fantastic what ya'll talkin about.

Inside probably.

 

[justjim89]

I can very easily see Doom included in Best Story but Firewatch not.

 

[LiK]

Fuck, I need to play Hitman. When's that shit going on sale again?

for what platform? PSN is $30 for season 1 and I think PC went as low as $15, iirc.

 

[Tubobutts]

:trollface

I could definitely see them have Doom as one of the final 3. It does have one of the best characters after all.

 

[kiguel182]

I was talking to my girlfriend just now about that (she started playing it recently) and she said she realized it someplace else that seemed way cooler than where I did my first so that might explain it.

For me the best moments was getting a puzzle I was stuck on. It just felt so good.

 

[kiguel182]

I can very easily see Doom included in Best Story but Firewatch not.

that seems likely. At least Doom will last longer than Firewatch (and I love Firewatch).

 

[Doop]

I would consider Doom for best story just because it involves the fracking of hell. The Doom Marine is basically captain planet but for hell.

 

[silentg]

Yes

I love Brad and I love this...

 

[TheGrue]

I think the gap between Doom 3 and Doom 2016 is way bigger than Uncharted 3 to Uncharted 4. Doom 3's hell was also pretty terrible.

Sure, but I guess what I didn't bring up is honestly none of that should matter. Judge the game on what it is doing and Uncharted 4 just does way more.

was a lock for that. I haven't played

Spoiler

_______Furi______

so I hope they play some of the tunes during the deliberations.

 

[bigkrev]

Best multiplayer

Spoiler

The fact that Overwatch beat TF2 might show how much/little power Jeff has for the Top 10.

 

[petethepanda]

Witness had some great moments but first encountering the Challenge is easily the best for me. Beating it as well, just fucking exhilarating.

 

[Glass Shark]

Remember to spoiler tag category winners for now. Some of us enjoy listening to the deliberations.

Never doubt Jeff's power. Overwatch was pretty obvious for best multiplayer since it's a multiplayer only game most of them played and liked.

There must be some mistake. Where are the slack print screens?

 

[wild wild rice]

Oh, nice! PS4. Is Season 1 the whole game?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

If they do not play the music, that would be pretty lame.

Also, Alex.

Spoiler

Stop putting The Last Guardian on the list.

 

[Cozmogramma]

then man, that did nothing for me.

Me neither. It was kinda cool but expected after the puzzles listed below.

For me, these three where much more effective:

Didn't someone say Overwatch was Austin's GOTY?

 

[bigkrev]

Spoiler

Never doubt Jeff's power. Overwatch was pretty obvious for best multiplayer since it's a multiplayer only game most of them played and liked.

Spoiler

It's Alex's 1, Dan's 2, Vinny's 6 and Drew's 6, while Titanfall is 6 on Dan's list and 8 on Drew's list. Even if Jeff has Titanfall as his 1, it's going to be a real struggle if everyone else liked the game but everyone else on the staff, including those who put Titanfall on their list thought Overwatch was better. Alex is going to fight it

 

[Catvoca]

Didn't someone say Overwatch was Austin's GOTY?

I don't think he's posted his actual top 10 list yet. I expect Overwatch to be at or near the top.

 

[petethepanda]

I'm still salty about Undertale in the music category last year lol. Wish Austin had deployed Hopes and Dreams.

 

[oti]

It's #7.

But no DOOM so it's ok.

Yes, altho I just checked and it doesn't appear to be on sale anymore.
