i get 60 fps on super mario 3d world with fairly big hiccups sometimes and very slow loads, really impressive

The first color is Steam Inventory Helper, and since you have turned on continuous scrolling (a feature Inventory Helper doesn't have), everything after the jump is highlighted by Enhanced Steam

ahh i c

i forgot i even had that installed on chrome

I think you use tab for that. It just switches then. But for Mario Maker it's irrelevant because everything happens also on the gamepad anyway.

ahh cool

 

[PaulSane]

So, Doom and Dark Souls 3 left?

 

[Sarcasm]

SDV close to where I put it. *shakes*

 

[Echoplx]

I'm honestly a little surprised that XCOM2 is up there, I don't remember people talking about it a lot, other than how badly it ran at launch.

It's superior to the original in pretty much every aspect, the technical issues did overshadow it a lot but still, great game.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

the combat was more "looks good" than "feels good" or "is good"

See you lost me here. The combat feels really good, as does just the general movement and control of the character. I gelled with it almost instantly and it was a joy to do just about anything in that game.

 

[Parsnip]

Deserved.

So Dark Souls and Doom left, in that order.

Shame that neither Xanadu or Momodora made the top 10.

SDV robbed. This is an injustice.


The launch stuff stifled a lot of buzz around it, but XCOM 2's an excellent follow-up to XCOM: EU. The procedurally-generated levels, destructible environments, and timer pressure make it stand far above XCOM: EU.

It's just really fun, even at its most punishing.

I actually didn't enjoy the timer pressure.

I used a mod that made it so the timer didn't start ticking down until you were discovered which made it more bearable but still not fun for me.

firewatch and rise of the tomb raider robbed!

 

[Oreoleo]

Edit: If Superhot isn't in the top 10 I'm gonna fuckin' riot.

I thought I would feel anger, but instead I just feel empty and hollow.

I'm so over you GAF.

 

[morningbus]

This year's SteamGAF awards is very, very mainstream. With some exceptions this could be a PS4/Xbox game of the year list.

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Play Dragon's Dogma with mouse and keyboard and then retract that statement.

The combat in DDDA is a lot of fun if you're in a good level range for the opponent. If you massively outlevel/gear them, it's too easy, and on the other end, it's difficult if not impossible (in a less-than-fun way). It at times feels like an MMO with "level checks" rather than the open world adventure RPG it so desperately claims to be.

I really think it would be a better game if it minimised or eliminated the level aspect. The core pitch and gameplay are really good without it. It's just the balancing that really throws it out of whack.

This was my problem with it in the 7 hours I played on PS3.

I tried taking on a Chimera at a low level (i guess?) and I literally fought it continuously for 3 in-game days and nights and never got it down past half health. He could kill me in 2 hits or so, but I grinded him down, dodging as skillfully as I could. It was thrilling at first until I realized that the game just didn't give a shit how good I was.

It's one of the unspoken genius aspects of the Dark Souls games: Level Compression. A completely bottom level character with a bottom leveled weapon is only about 1/5 the damage output of a top level one. Most RPGs multiply that by 100.

[PaulSane]

I'm actually more interested in the full list, rather than top-10 - just as i thought, it consists of games i already know enough about. I need to see if there are other good games i might have missed that aren't already on my wishlist

Don't worry, I'll post the full results when all is revealed.

 

[Teggy]

At least no VNs in the top 10

 

[Parsnip]

Momodora and Xanadu next robbed.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Did Dark Souls 3 ever fix poise?

 

[Anteater]

Shadow Warrior 2 #1

 

[Parsnip]

Did Dark Souls 3 ever fix poise?

It's not "broken", just different. It's basically hyperarmor now that only activates during some specific weapon arts, as far as I recall.

I guess they did overhaul it recently.

 

[Sch1sm]

Did Dark Souls 3 ever fix poise?

There was a patch in October to do with changing poise, but I haven't played since April so I dunno.

 

[Teeth]

Did Dark Souls 3 ever fix poise?

They calculate it in a different way. In DS3, it's compounded by multiple sequential hits rather than individual hits.

Yeah, i figured as much I also need to know how far off Xanadu Next landed from it's deserved place

 

[jshackles]

Maybe it's #1

 

[Oreoleo]

Maybe it's #1

i lol'd

 

[texhnolyze]

Wow, the points between no 2 and 4 are quite tight, 132 to 138.

 

[zkylon]

i really don't get the insane love for doom but i guess could be worse

Did Dark Souls 3 ever fix poise?

not sure if they fixed it per se but they changed how it works not long ago

 

[Lomax]

This year's SteamGAF awards is very, very mainstream. With some exceptions this could be a PS4/Xbox game of the year list.

More games but fewer voters means more dilution leading to the more widespread games being the most common vote getters. Plus a few of the big PC hits were early access. And I'd imagine I'm not the only one who didn't vote at all because I didn't play anything at all from this year because I've just reached the point where my existing library doesn't justify buying anything even close to full price.

 

[jshackles]

Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for

Your SteamGAF GOTY 2016

 

[BinaryPork2737]

#4

#3

These ended up in the same spots that I put them in, nice. I knew you all had good taste, especially in regard to Stardew being so high. Really glad that game ended up being such a successful hit for ConcernedApe.

At least no VNs in the top 10

The House in Fata Morgana was robbed dammit

 

[KenOD]

Now did DOOM fix it's poise?

 

[Oreoleo]

Hitman has the highest average score out of all the games in the top 10.

Da real GOTY.

 

[Echoplx]

The rest will probably be Xcom 2, Hitman, Doom, Stardew Valley and Dark Souls 3.

2ez

 

[Vazra]

The House in Fata Morgana was robbed. FFS

 

[bbd23]

well dark souls was my GOTY

loved every second of it and I listen to the OST almost every day!. Can't wait to dive into the DLC once the second one is released.

 

[texhnolyze]

230. It was no contest for DOOM.

 

[fenners]

Dragon's Dogma was my #1 pick, glad to see such a well-made late port getting so much love from fellow GAFers.

I just started playing it tonight... Can I vote for it this year??

 

[jshackles]

230. It was no contest for DOOM.

Everyone loved DOOM

 

[BoosterDuck]

Final Fantasy X/X-2 was robbed

 

[Burt]

See you lost me here. The combat feels really good, as does just the general movement and control of the character. I gelled with it almost instantly and it was a joy to do just about anything in that game.

I think LurkerPrime hit a good point about non-optimal encounters that echoes much of my feeling -

The combat in DDDA is a lot of fun if you're in a good level range for the opponent. If you massively outlevel/gear them, it's too easy, and on the other end, it's difficult if not impossible (in a less-than-fun way). It at times feels like an MMO with "level checks" rather than the open world adventure RPG it so desperately claims to be.

although optimal encounters are still just 'good' as opposed to 'great'. But, to each their own.

Play Dragon's Dogma with mouse and keyboard and then retract that statement.

NEVAR

Spoiler

that legitimately sounds heretical for an ARPG

Spoiler

but I might give it another spin with my Steam Controller down the line

 

[Vazra]

Everyone loved DOOM

I didnt vote for it tho.

 

[Parsnip]

Hitman has the highest average score out of all the games in the top 10.

Da real GOTY.

Truth.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Not even SteamGAF can escape Doom.

They calculate it in a different way. In DS3, it's compounded by multiple sequential hits rather than individual hits.

Detailed explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/5ckxjf/indepth_poiseguide_v108/

So they did, I guess? That's good... because I dunno how anyone could forgive From for shipping it like that to begin with.

 

[Lomax]

Surprised Doom won by that wide of a margin.

i appreciate some of the things doom did, but i feel like it's a game who's biggest merit is not being something else

In the world we live, being "not disappointing" is about as high as praise gets.
