lol the music category is the most heated so far. So much salt from Brad.

MORNIN' DAN

 

[daveo42]

I would blame Dan more than the horse.

Dan just had bad taste in music is all. Or he really fucking loves Tropical Freeze and Stardew Valley to the point that he's blind to how bad it all is.

 

[Tripon]

Final fantasy VI should have won best music this year.

Tropical Freeze has an awesome soundtrack.

 

[IcyRhythms]

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.

DOOM isn't just up for debate for best looking game of the year, but it damn sure runs better than Uncharted. The campaign runs at 60FPS across all platforms. That's definitely not something we can ignore.

No.

Dan can't catch a break in Best Music.

 

[LiK]

Well, I have to admit that I'm glad they played music through the laptops and not through a friggin' iPhone this time.

Jeff's argument for Titalfall 2 as best multiplayer kinda just makes it seem like he doesn't like multiplayer very much, full stop.

He kinda doesn't. It's extremely rare for him to play mp on his own.

It actually works really well in the game. It's such a pleasant score, however, it doesn't stand a chance against the others on the list.

No Vinny, the attachment-grind if both BF3 and 4 was awful and BF1 is one of the best online multiplayer games in a long time.

[HappenstanceUK]

The problem I have with Dan in most of these deliberations is that it tends to be very obvious when he has his fight ready for Stardew so will just say no to everything else, basically hoping that the more he gets rid of, the more likely it will be for Stardew to make it on a list. It doesn't exactly make for the best conversation.

I am shocked that something Nintendo-related won a poll on Neogaf.

This comes from the same site that called MGS4 GotY two years in a row.

If you're just going to be bizarrely nasty for no reason, then I'm not sure why you're here.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Dan always backs the wrong horse. Always.

Edit: No Dan...just no. That's not a good track. Not a good track at all.

Ryckert meet horse, horse meet Ryckert.

 

[killroy87]

Ugh, Dan is so poor at arguing his stance. The music in Stardew is sooooo good, and even if it might not have won, it certainly could have gone farther if he made a stronger stance and stood his ground more.

 

[wild wild rice]

I respect any and all opinions. In fact, I'm the best respecter of opinions. Unless you say Tropical Freeze has bad music. Can't respect that, nope.

Happy New Gears!

It's a long one.

 

[Volotaire]

Oh I forgot how good the Child of Light OST is. The end boss melody is simply epic and sublime.

We set the difficulty to "easy" because the holidays are about fun.

 

[TheRed]

Damn hard for me to listen to this music discussion and Planet Coaster isn't even included!
It was one of my favorites this year easily, really well done and sets a nice positive mood.

 

[MassiveNights]

Jeff is so right about Best Multiplayer.

 

[LiK]

Tropical Freeze had good music. Most of the DKC OSTs are awesome, period.

 

[daveo42]

This is actually the one category where maybe Doom shouldn't have been in the top 3 and I love Doom's soundtrack.

 

[Glass Shark]

Almost all the music they played in Best Music this year sounded generic as hell to me. Especially Furi.

Hyper Light Drifter

and

were absolutely robbed.

 

[fastmower]

Well, that's one opinion.

You're cray. See a doctor.

 

[jmood88]

I don't agree with any of the staff's musical tastes, but I'm with everyone who was completely apathetic towards the Stardew Valley music.

Sometimes I feel like they let Brad get his way just so they can move on.

music went from "we can take it off the list" from minute one and several more times along the way and ends up top 3.

[ThanksVision]

I spent way more time listening to the Stardew valley OST than I did playing the game, and I put like 40 hours into it. The music fits the mood of the game so well. I don't think I can give concernedape enough respect for his level of all-around talent

 

[therealminime]

Firewatch

had music?

 

[Phediuk]

The Best Multiplayer category is always so weird. It's always preceded by most (all) of the staff saying that they don't play a lot of multiplayer games, so they end up just going with the 2 or 3 that all of them played.
