This is good. I feel like I'm listening to the 2017 GOTY discussion already.

I, too, already feel like I want to die

PREMIUM LIVE SHOW ON JUL 14, 2017 02:00 PM

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

They're playing through that Daddy game. That's what this is.

 

[mnz]

A launch of a game in retail (physical and digital) is different from an EA launch. How is that not clear? One is done for launch, the other is by definition not done. Of course both games receive updates after launch.

So now it's about a retail version? A lot of games don't even get that anymore and we have early access games with retail versions like Paragon:

"Done" doesn't exist anymore.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Well that's the whole issue. How do you decide when it it eligible without silly arbitrary judgements that will devolve into the same bad argument over every EA good game every year? The current rule is the best solution to this.

By making silly arbitrary judgements.

Can I introduce you to giantbomb's goty?

They tried to give best story to mortal kombat at some point.

 

[Basileus777]

Welcome to GBs goty

Where the laughs ate endless and the rules dont matter

Thats right, the rules are as good as setting up a bdsm session with no restriction

Eh, they actually stick to their rules pretty well. Jeff usually shuts down attempts to subvert them.

By making silly arbitary judgements.

Can I introduce you to giantbomb's goty?

They tried to argue mortal kombat for having the best story at some point.

That's not really what I'm talking about.

 

[imBask]

tbh I feel like this debate is more about people being sick of hearing about PUBG than it is about rules.

Quick Look: Black the Fall

It's not often you see a game's design change so drastically from early access to release. But it's even less often you see a game copy one art style and then update to copy another.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Seriously tho pubg will win goty

Theres no stopping this train

 

[bigkrev]

The argument made was that Early Access now means something different than it did in 2014. Something like "It used to be for people who didn't have money to make a game to hope for the best" to now "it's used for refining games". They cite Dead Cells, PUBG and Fire Pro Wrestling as basically being complete, great expereinces even in the Early Access state, and Alex laments that Darkest Dungeon was one of his most played and favorite games in 2015, but because it didn't "launch" till 2016 and the fact that he played the hell out of the game the year before, it never had a GOTY chance

To be fair they talk a lot about PUBG.

I'm on the edge but I still fuck wit it.

Brad said something to the effect of "I don't even want to think about pubg not releasing this year" on the bombcast tuesday.

That means nothing come goty time

Pubg is winning I bet whippeds avatar on it

Brad said something to the effect of "I don't even want to think about pubg not releasing this year" on the bombcast tuesday.

Then Jeff shrugged as if to say "I dont give a fuck, it's getting GOTY anyway"

Quick Look: Black the Fall

I got super excited for a second, thinking this is Episode 2 of The Fall. You know, the episodic game? First episode came out in 1797 I think?

 

[imBask]

Hasney please i'm in wrestling detox don't do this to me

 

[Antiwhippy]

I got super excited for a second, thinking this is Episode 2 of The Fall. You know, the episodic game? First episode came out in 1797 I think?

Wait, that still haven't had the 2nd episode yet?

I just heard Vinny arguing for it for 2014 best story and he said something to the effect of "Really looking forward to see what comes next".

 

[Keyser Soze]

Quick Look: Black the Fall

Also, here is the 2014 Unfinished of the game if anyone is looking to compare it to the finished product

It is a completely different game

 

[oti]

"Done" doesn't exist anymore.

Oh come on now. I'm perfectly clear with what I'm saying. If you don't believe there's a difference there, fine. But it's not how it works.

If you don't think there's a difference between "hey so here's this game we're working on it could explode any minute hehe and half the content is missing okay?" and "this is the launch of this live service game that will evolve over time" there's nothing really to discuss here anymore.

This is pointless.

 

[wenis]

Well that's the whole issue. How do you decide when it it eligible without silly arbitrary judgements that will devolve into the same bad argument over every EA good game every year? The current rule is the best solution to this.

As soon as it's considered for GOTY in it's respective year it's no longer eligible for future GOTY awards.

Boom done

Sorry. This guy is cheering for your detox.

I did read that Big Cass is a huge Trump supporter so that kinda helped

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Wait, that still haven't had the 2nd episode yet?

I just heard Vinny arguing for it for 2014 best story and he said something to the effect of "Really looking forward to see what comes next".

YEAH ME TOO

I really liked The Fall

 

[Antiwhippy]

Bummer. Sounded like it ended on a real cliffhanger too.

It'll come out after the next chapter of Kentucky Route Zero!

Abby just joined and is already calling her boss a baldy to his face.

the terminator game he played was nuts
and bad

It was amazing.

Calling it "Western anime" is silly considering we got stuff like Vampire Hunter D and Berserk decades earlier that is of a similar realistic art style.

To be honest though, Berserk and especially Vampire Hunter D looks like pure insanity.

Thought The Fall was only ok but man that ending was badass.

 

[Archaix]

YEAH ME TOO

I really liked The Fall

Bummer. Sounded like it ended on a real cliffhanger too.

I just looked that game up last night, there's a Steam store page for episode 2 with a Q3 2017 date.

Not sure how long that's existed, but it was the first time I heard there is actually a part 2 on the way since release.

 

[Antiwhippy]

To be honest though, Berserk and especially Vampire Hunter D looks like pure insanity.

You got the pure insanity part of berserk right.

 

[Death Metalist]

I got super excited for a second, thinking this is Episode 2 of The Fall. You know, the episodic game? First episode came out in 1797 I think?

I thought this was that as well lmao. Kentucky Route Zero all over again.

 

[Wunder]

I wonder if Alex is gonna play the new Darkest Dungeon DLC, started a new game with all the updates to it and been having a blast.

First person only Battlegrounds gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVoIQFrmW64

 

[Archaix]

If Battlegrounds goes first person only are we going to have to pretend like it's not a terrible FPS the way everybody pretends it's not a bad game?

Yea that's not fun looking and just giving yourself a disadvantage for no reason

 

[Wunder]

why do you think its a bad game?

 

[slightconfuse]

Alamo Drafthouse would blow Geoff's mind

Can't go back to a normal theater

 

[imBask]

They also had first person in DayZ and nobody played that because it's stupid and bad. They're adding it because a vocal minority is being annoying but it'll be forgotten real fast, i'm not too worried

 

[KingKong]

give me a PUBG custom mode with teams, rounds and loadouts and I'd be all over it

 

[Antiwhippy]

So like, open world counterstrike?

 

[Karspankey]

With the support of custom games, you'll most certainly get your wish

 

[LiK]

Studio Ghibli talk and no mention of Laputa and Kiki. Shame.

 

[Death Metalist]

You got the pure insanity part of berserk right.

Oh no not that abomination. I meant this one!

Spoiler

I'm sure you already knew.

 

[imBask]

Why not just play one of the millions of game that already does that instead of shoehorning it in a game that wasn't design for it?
