WHIPPY AND OTI LIKE FATA MORGANA THEY AHVE TO BE PERVERTS

You do hate Undertale which is also a game for perverts so you can't be a pervert.

You win check your PMs.

My entire #WarOnAnime, it was all for nothing.

I'm still not sure why we're talking about this.

Game of the Generation is BOTW it's not even close.

Is the Switch the first next gen console? If so, yes, if not, then... also yes.

Listening to the crew talk about how indistinguishable the PS4 and Xbox was really strange. Sure, if your optics are entirely on 3rd party AAA, both consoles are basically the same. But if you're looking at mid tier or Japanese games, PS4 and Xbox are night and day.

Given the tastes of people like Jeff and Brad, I can understand them not noticing. But fucking Alex was there and not a single mention from him about Nier Automata, Persona or Yakuza?? I can understand no one on Giant Bomb bringing up more niche PS4 games like Gundam Versus or Grand Kingdom, but those three alone are already huge differentiators between the consoles. Same applies for Xbox's backwards compatibility.

I'm a bit more hesitant to bring this other point up as well since it straddles the line with console warrior bullshit, but saying Sony first party is in a rut just months after a Sony first party released and was awarded five stars on Giant Bomb is really fucking weird.

I took it as for your average consumer it still holds true.

Most of the time when I see a system under someone's tv there is a small stack of games next to it: Madden, FIFA and CoD

I like the parts of the Beastcast when they actually talk about games, too bad that's like 20 minutes each week.

 

[oti]

Unless you really like Halo I don't know why you'd want to buy an Xbox over a PS4. They're both really cheap to boot.

You don't consume GB content because of games talk, come on.

I would argue that especially if you really like Halo you don't have to buy an Xbox One.

 

[Jintor]

ya'll get bopped. whitta is great and all you haters can dab off

 

[oti]

Eh, I don't have a horse in the Halo discussion.

Maybe the only reason to get an Xbox S over a PS4 is the 4K Blu-ray drive. But if you're collecting 4K Blu-rays in 2017 you have some other things to go through first.

I'm a huge Nintendo fan so it's really nice to see them hitting (most) marks. They're definitely bringing the games/style/hardware. Now if the operating stuff could catch up it would be nice.

I don't think anyone has a perception of Nintendo taking over the world but it's refreshing to not see them slowly fall apart like they did during the Wii U

 

[FlammableD]

The Bombcast ads seem a lot dryer this week

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I don't currently own any consoles. It was a bit strange to see Brad nod along and agree with Whitta's thought that there's nothing separating the two major consoles, when this year's batch of PS4 exclusives has really been making me consider a console for the first time in years. I truly feel like I'm missing out by not owning a PS4 lately.

he doesn't count p5 yakuza or nier

Nier's on PC, but if you meant Nioh, then yeah, that's another one I'm talking about. Off the top of my head, there's also Horizon of course.

[Fantastapotamus]

Even as somebody who doesn't really care for 90% of Sony's first party titles, there is no denying that they are vastly more successful in making good arguments for the PS4 than Microsoft this gen, even if you ignore the 3rd party stuff.
Nobody really cared for Gears or Halo while people, as far as I can tell, loved Uncharted 4.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Tbf if i listed out the last guardian, gravity rush 2, yakuza 0, persona 5 and horizon it would sound like an amazing lineup to me but the only game he would maybe play is horizon.

Not enough lootboxes.

It's still weird to ignore them, even if you aren't interested in them.

[Antiwhippy]

Look they've been myopic for years now. If it's not in their wheelhouse they ignore it.

They keep saying that the vita has no games when it has better and more games than the 3ds even if the 3ds highs are a little higher.

Yeeeeeeees.

One more ally for goty.

It's a rhythm game machine man.

Don't get me wrong, i love the 3ds, but i feel like it was more about the marquee titles for me. It was pretty much pokemon, atlus games, and fire emblem, and then nothing else really interested me.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Hey, the Doc is pretty good at the game.

He also may or may not be Vinny in disguise.

I've been watching Dr. DisRespect in my free time lately. I am confused as to whether or not this means I now like wrestling. Regardless, he's super entertaining.

 

[Backfoggen]

Yeeeeeeees.

One more ally for goty.

Better get it into the top 10 at least.

 

[Exterminieren]

With how Alex feels about Nier, and now with Ben onboard with him, there's zero chance Nier doesn't make the list.

I see that game at, like, 6th.

 

[Jintor]

yo

 

[Zebetite]

i worry that GOTY's going to be stupid this year. Zelda and PUBG are gonna get coronated without meaningful discussions other than to determine which is better and then its going to be a lot of ums and uhs about other, similarly-great games that only one or two people actually played, which deserve good discussions but are going to get shot down by a bunch of "it didnt seem that cool" or "i saw a bunch of randoms saying it sucks on twitter" or "i never learned how to dodge and got really frustrated when i got punished for button mashing"

 

[Jintor]

it depends if people play games through so they can have worthwhile discussions or not

i think probably by end of year a bunch more people will at least play nier through.

i don't see persona getting any more hangtime though.

Yeah. Portable Spelunky > Entire 3DS library.

Brad will somehow push destiny 2 as goty.

GOTY 2017 Discussions

Horizon or Zelda. You have to pick one, Brad.
But both of those games are so different in what th-
PICK ONE BRAD.
OK FINE. I pick ****.

Everyone hates Brad.

 

[fierrotlepou]

not judging that much.... but your fetish is sorta weird to me

Can't help myself, I love seeing them eat copious amounts of fast food.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm pretty sure brad hadn't even gone beyond that starting area of horizon?

It's actually kinda weird how it's only jeff and rorie who really played the game.

 

[derFeef]

Wolfenstein II goty, that's a lock.
Possibly Evil Within II.

Oh gosh don't trigger me further with the treatment of the Vita. Or even the Wii U.

What am I looking at here?

A Fata Morgana.

I forgot it came out this year.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Did anyone other than dan play it?

 

[Zebetite]

This is what happens every year.

It's bound to be worse though. The usual 8-10 spots that get filled by a person's pet game that only they played are going to end up being, like, spots 4-10.

There's a lot of year left but I really doubt anybody gets back to the games they missed. They missed them the first time for a reason.

 

[derFeef]

Wait, people are serious with their GOTY talk? I was only (half) joking.
