I bet even Dan knows what prosody is.

Most of the time when I discover a cool indie title, I see that it's been covered in some form by Giantbomb already, either in the form of Patrick's articles or a QL (now Unfinished).
Surprised to see neither Hand of Fate nor Dungeon of the Endless covered yet. Get on that shit, guys, they're both really good!

Since I saw the Doorkickers QL this morning I've had the Dickkickers remix stuck in my head.
Hand of Fate looks cool, but not gonna jump in now since it's still Early Access. After 2 early access games I made it a policy to not buy a game until it's finished.
Rorie did well showing off Door Kickers. It's a game I enjoyed more the more I played it. It's rising up my GOTY list that I am already building in my head.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I could swear I saw a video of Vinny playing Doorkickers some months ago. This is driving me insane
DotE just came out of Early Access. I'm sure we'll get a QL of it. Great game and definitely the best 4X joint.
Ring around the Rosie
Watching the quicklook almost makes me want to re-install it. The mobility in that game was great.
Also... 60fps quicklooks on Youtube is amazing.
It can be mentioned, but it ain't shit compared to Watch Dogs and Destiny disappointment.
Yeah in the end I think Titanfall is still a very good game that didn't get the success they expected. Different from a game that turn out to be bad once it's released.
Definitely don't think it would win, but they have two runner-ups, right?
Apology of the Year

nah because they didn't give a flying fuck about that game in the first place.
front runner for Apology of the Year though
I don't know if I'm making that up, but I feel like everyone sort of lowered their expectations when they saw Titanfall at E3. At that point we knew Respawn wasn't making anything new and crazy like we had hoped, but just Call of Duty with robots, and the final game more or less delivered on that.

More Indies for everyone :trollface

I think it goes:
Watch_Dogs
Destiny
Drive Club
Titanfall.
Though Destiny might take it since it'll be more fresh in their minds being a more recent release.
I mean, they've never been high on DriveClub though. They've always made fun of it.
Thi4f, Evil Within, and Beyond Earth are more likely than DriveClub. But Destiny will win. Or Lose. or whatever you call it. To me though, it's Second Son or Broken Age. Found both of those to be super big letdowns.

Most Disappointing 2014 will be:
1. Destiny
2. Watchdogs
3. whatever game they remember. Maybe Civ if Alex is on or Evil Within when Patrick is on.
Looking back at the past year, I think Elder Scrolls Online, Ground Zeroes (just because of the length), Dark Souls II (debatable) are games they played and are at least as likely as Titanfall to get in 3rd. As long as they remember them.

ESO isn't even the most disappointing MMO though.
Wildstar destroys that category in the MMO space. Like people were skeptical of ESO, but everyone was saying Wildstar was the fucking return to from and shit. All the WoW streamers talking about how they're going heavy on Wildstar streaming. Then it vanished after 2 weeks.

Still not getting why DriveClub would be on that list since they never gave a shit about it in the first place.
Unless Jeff pulls rank, there are other games that can take its place.

Very good chices for this category as well.

I still have hope we will get a Samurai Warriors 4 Quick Look this week.

I think mine would be Destiny then Civ:BE, but I doubt Civ will get much attention beyond Alex.
They should get Dan's sister for that quicklook.

Oh nice, looks like Door Kickers was uploaded at 720p60FPS. Hopefully this is standard for them from now on. I wonder if it will make older videos harder to watch, though. I finally went back and finished the Persona 4 ER and man was it hard to sit through with the awful resolution.

I don't think it deserves to be on that list. I don't think it really disappointed any of the crew. Jeff played a ton of it and seemed to enjoy his time with it. It just didn't have long legs compared to other competitive shooters. The gameplay and shooting was good, it didn't have the fundamental flaws (imo) that something like Destiny of Observe_Dogs had.
Haven't they done 60 fps QLs for years now on the site? I don't think anything other than Youtube has changed.

Speaking of Shareplay i am surprised at how well it works but i really need to upgrade my internet.

I think Titanfall just suffered from apathy in the FPS genre in general. They made grand promises but I don't think any of the giantbomb guys had really high expectations. Even Jeff said he did enjoy playing it for a couple weeks after release. That's a couple weeks more than most of the other stuff he plays.
Driveclub definitely deserves a mention in the disappointment of the year even with lowered expectations. The fact that the online stuff is still so messed up when the game was already delayed a year is insane.

I just wish that Dan would play it since he also played Hyrule Warriors which means he now knows how to play a Warriors game. Jeff played Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate poorly, he didn't even use a Musou attack even once.

Noticed this in some official screenshots from the Icewind Dale re-release on Steam.
They've got Dan and others in some of the other screenshots too.

Yeah there was the same thing with the Baldur's Gate HD official screenshots. That's great.

HOLY SHIT THE LATEST AC UNITY TRAILER/LEAKS IS FREAKING CRAZY
I haven't played any of the games on the theoretical list, but I don't remember expectations being that high for a lot of the games people are listing. I think if it's more about games that should or could have been good but then just weren't... realistic expectations vs hype level.
I don't think realistic expectations were that high for watch dogs, or titan fall. The hype for those games was huge, but I think by time of launch their true identities had been revealed.
I think the infamous DLC, beyond earth, drive club and evil within are all games that failed to meet expectations that were not purely based on hype... Infamous because the base game was so much better then the DLC, Beyond Earth because when was the last time firaxis put out a non-starter?, drive club can be disapointing just due to the connectivity issues, and evil within because it was supposed to be the spirtual succesor to one of the best games ever and it got 2 stars.
Destiny though, is like the poster child for disappointment. I had the massive hype machine driving expectations, the developer pedigree, and then the beta was the icing on the styrofoam cake... it looked really good, it was from your favorite bakery, and then the free sample was delicious... but when people finally got it in there homes, it wasn't even a baked good.

hahaha that thread is amazing, thank you
Wow they need to check their capturing or settings for Xbox One, it's always black crush time. And no, it's not always Xbox fault, just check how Lords of the Fallen can look like compared to their video.
