my last post sounded super sarcastic, but it wasn't, i totally get why people don't care about their own list, i just do it cause i find it fun


the arc of nobody talking about nier to now nier will prob be in top 5 has been rad

Even if you don't pick a GOTY yourself, you'll have an internal list of GOTY selections you'll understand, and a list you'll think people would be idiots to choose.
ah yeah this is true, if someone says assassin's creed is their goty, then well i don't feel you played a lot of games this year

my game of the year is probably splatoon 2 but rationally also its just splatoon 1 on the switch.

Zelda was the only game I’ve played in years that made me feel like an 8 year old again. The games systems and mechanics are simple, but the way they all interact with each other is incredibly complex and detailed. I could spend an hour talking about all the different ways fire reacts with things. It also doesn’t hold your hand, and has enough respect for you to figure things out through experimentation and exploration

It’s the best open world game of all time and my goty

It's going to be top 3 if not the drat GOTY itself. Just accept it and move on. At least they aren't Waypoint, discussing the intricacies of making a different map and how Balanced and Different it must be and what That Literally Means as a Player.

Best five bucks I've ever spend.
I like the Waypoint dudes and dudettes but a lot of their short pieces are under-developed clickbait, and they make the site feel more like a blog than a ~serious gaming criticism repository~

That Prey headline could easily be works-hopped into an Onion op-ed

Also I don't like Patrick's voice when he talks loud.

PUBG also beautifully demonstrated how many people are willing to pay for a mod, so enjoy the Games as a Service hellfuture. I shan't be participating.

I think this is a little much, i don't think the genre should be inherently dismissed for having a bunch of mods anymore than dismissing genres based on like RPG Maker or f2p shooters or Final Fantasy phone ports or whatever. I understand how the game wouldn't appeal to people and I won't defend Early Access AIDS, but it's a fun game and I'm ok if people decide playing a fun game for a million hours makes it their game of the year.

Nobody playing Persona 5 tho...

What date do they usually start the GOTY discussions? Is it its own thing or does it pop up on their giant bombcast subscription?

I think it was already like 20 bucks on the last steam sale and it's worth it for 20 bucks imo, there were like 5 twists & moments in that story I legit did not expect and enjoyed
