It was a strong year for games. I would have probably given it to Doom myself but I'm cool with Overwatch winning it too. It's a hell of a shooter. And they do a good job supporting it.

So you dislike Doom, Titanfall 2, Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, W3:Blood and Wine, Xenoblade X, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Forza Horizon 3, Quantum Break, Gears 4 and Deus EX MD then? I'd put all those games over Overwatch.

I Didn't even know people voted in this. I also don't quite understand this type of "you care/don't care rhetoric". It doesn't bother me. I don't care. This award thing will not effect me at all. But I'm on a game forum, posting about games. I saw something and posted. What else am I suppose to do on a gaming forum?  Not react to things posted about video games or if I do, does it automatically bother me and I care too much? It's such a ridiculous reply.

And in my opinion(the only opinion that matters to me on this subject) it wasn't a good game and deserves no rewards.

Before it was gimped and two contenders removed, the fan creation was one of the more rock solid categories.

Project A2MR
Pokémon Uranium
Brutal Doom 64
Enderal: The Shards of Order

Enderal ended up winning.

Haven't played Uncharted 4 but I'm sure its a rock solid game that is very good. It's also the 4th one in a formula series and the devs at this point get free kudos for pretty much anything they do. I'm glad a different game took it. It's not like it won't win its share of goty awards from other sources.

Well, from that perspective, I don't see how the fourth Uncharted game is any different from yet-another FPS.

I'm more impressed with a re-invented doom that legit plays dramatically different than old doom and pretty much what most modern fps games play like. But that's just my opinion. The rest of them are more good updates of the existing template for their genre. I think Doom is legit a bigger upgrade for the status quo in its genre.

After that its strictly just a pure opinion thing on the rest of them as contenders.

Is it really that much different?  I see it more as a return to form and the game stands out more for it's fast-paced, "old school" style in a sea of "realistic" CoD/Battlefield style shooters.

For me it is. People say Doom plays like an old school shooter but honestly it doesn't. Old school shooters are great but they don't play like Doom when you actually go back and play them. And modern shooters don't play like that at all.

It borrows things from both schools but it ends up being a unique thing to me in a way that I don't believe an updated version of an existing franchise update does. Of course I haven't played Uncharted 4 so maybe it is doing more than I expect but for me Doom was way more than I expected. Not just from a good game perspective. But in a blending off really old elements with really new elements and creating something that isn't really either.

I'm sure the inevitable new Doom 2 will be a good game also but I have a strong feeling it won't be important in the same way this one was.
Title: Re: Game Awards 2016.. Praise the Nutella Champion
Post by: bork on December 01, 2016, 11:53:01 PM
I have no idea which FPS I'd label as the best.  Haven't had the time to play enough of all of them, to be honest.  Doom has been amazing from the couple of levels I've played, but the game that really struck me and made me go "holy shit!" was Battlefield One when I started it up.

It's nothing new, but Uncharted 4 was really solid and kept me up until 4am playing it some nights.  That never happens anymore.  Meanwhile Gears seemed like entirely more of the same and I quit playing it pretty quickly.  I was hyped for it but that deflated kind of fast.  None of my friends got it either.  But I still need to go back to it and see if it picks up.  The game seems like it has been forgotten about already. 

What really stands out to me this year are all the lows.  :lol  Infinite Warfare being shit, etc.

Those two things you quoted say the same thing. They say just because I reply/make a post doesn't automatically mean that I'm actually bothered in real life or that these things somehow effect me. They say that there's a distance from them because I'm simply posting on a video game forum.

And I did'nt say anything was thought proking. I said they were just simply reactions and posts.

I think Kojima is a big hack. He hasn't made a good game in years and all his complete self serious wank fest shit has been terrible. MGS5 was an awful game in part because Kojima thought it needed to be so serious that it became cringe inducing. Death Stranding looks to be upping that to the extreme and instead of showing something to care about it, all it can show is complete nonsensical try hard "look at this art shit" thats supposed to be taken serious. It's a video game that can't even reveal the game.

It's all just a random dice roll depending on whatever a person values in a shooter. I think Titanfall 2 is the best complete package of a shooter because the campaign and the mp both rock. But I would still give the goty to Doom because that campaign floored me. I have a feeling overtime my Overwatch hours will eclipse most shooters outside of battlefield which is my main fps game of choice.

Doom is amazing for sure.  It plays perfect and is the best playing FPS I've ever played.  Right now I'm putting it 4th on my GoTY list after Persona 5, Hitman and Watchdogs 2 in that order.  I got no issue with Overwatch.  Looks fun, but not my kind of game.  Also didn't play Witcher 3 or Dark Souls 3 so can't comment on them.  Uncharted 4 probably won't even make my top ten and I'm a biased Uncharted fan who defended the fuck out of U1 vs Gears1.  Uncharted 4 is a good game, but the pacing sucks, too many parts drag and the story was just kinda ok although the dialogue itself was much better and legit.  Combat/Stealth/exploration were all solid but while improved still not amazing.  MP is fun but nothing special.  Very nice graphics and VA.  8.5/10.  It was a good adventure that was pretty forgettable.

Have you tried the arcade mode update? They have some pretty fun 1 versus 1 and 3 versus 3 modes that aren't really objective based. 

I'm more about objective modes myself in shooters nowadays but yeah I could see them adding more stuff that is more based around fun stuff in the arcade.

I mean, sure. But I'd rather it be something like Battlefield or Titanfall (even if I don't really care for Titanfall's brand like Overwatch's) over Overwatch, personally. Overwatch didn't do enough to make me go "wow" like those two. :yeshrug But I haven't played Uncharted 4 yet (no PS4 and won't for a while) so that'd probably be my personal GotY by virtue of liking the other entries in the series (even Uncharted 3, yes) off that list. :yeshrug

This is what I don't get. All I'm doing is posting. This time it happens to be negative. How is that taking anything seriously? How is that being butthurt. The moment I leave the bore none of this means anything. Meanwhile pretty much all of you complain about games like Uncharterd 4 or GAF, but none of you are butthurt or take this seriously? Just because someone is posting something you don't agree with the reply is'nt "lol your butthurt". I don't like MGS5 or Overwatch and so I said that in threads where they came up. There's nothing to take seriously or be butthurt about here.

But in a blending off really old elements with really new elements and creating something that isn't really either.

I'm sure the inevitable new Doom 2 will be a good game also but I have a strong feeling it won't be important in the same way this one was.

I've said this a million times, but Doom has the same structure and flow as Bayonetta and other cuhrayzee games.  There's a loop of light exploration -> enemy arena -> repeat.  The enemy arenas gradually escalate in difficulty and there is a light upgrade system.

It isn't a perfect 1:1 comparison, but it probably explains why I loved the game so much when I normally hate FPS.  :doge

Saw the reactions to SF V winning best fighting game and wooooooooooooooow. Even Iron Galaxy is pissed. Dave Lang was putting the awards on blast saying he's salty and would have been happy to see Pokken or KOF win but that decision was bullshit (And they are rumored to be co-developing the UMvC3 port with QLOC so they are even putting Capcom on blast while working with Capcom).

But yeah, underwhelming, but the right results in the right areas except fighting games. Overwatch is a deserved GOTY.

i forget who said it, but a better Doom (2016) precursor was probably Bulletstorm than Doom (1993)

Despite all its flaws and launch shenanigans...I would still say that SFV is the best fighting game released this year.  LOL, Pokken.  KOF XIV gets my vote for best "comeback" game though.  I love that they are committed to improving it...the visual boost it's getting is looking good.

Zelda looked like a low budget open world Japanese game
Prey looked like a lifeless industry cash grab
Mass Effect 4 looked like a filler game with atrocious cutscenes and animations
Death stranding looked like the product of a game director whose last screw just came undone
Dauntless looked like a monster hunter knockoff for iOS


Not sure if my interest in non-fighting video games has evaporated or if those games really did look as bad as I described above (https://s16.postimg.org/yy2z1ikxx/image.png)

I find that as I get older, I have less and less interest in these huge multi-hour adventure games and RPGs.  Just give me some good arcade-style fun.

these awards are taken seriously by anybody? I thought the only ones that mattered were DICE and Game Developers Choice

for a small operation like iron galaxy having awards for your studio probably looks very good when trying to court investors.

but yeah, giving best fighting game to a title that launched halfassed, was and is still broken in many ways, and even installed a rootkit on people pc's is a bit ridiculous. it is kind of interesting that all the other catagories had 5 noms and fg had 4. couldn't find room for gg or mkxl on there?

An 8-minute gameplay video also got released today:

Definitely getting a pretty heavy System Shock/Bioshock feeling from this.

It was on the Giant Bombcast on Tuesday but Jeff and Jason were discussing they were trying to put Xrd Relevator and Nitroplus Blasterz on the ballot and a number of publications wanted Relevator in as well, but it never happened and they were really confused on the criteria because not a lot of judges wanted SF V on there because it was broken and has been in and out of a playable state for the last while (Depending on if the patch breaks CFN etc). And yeah for a small studio like Iron Galaxy or a small publisher like XSEED. Getting a big stage award would be big for them and looks good to investors.   

But it's really a case if you want the awards to be taken seriously. Don't give it to a game that the community is continually roasting for being a broken mess because it's the biggest name in the genre and it's a huge oversight. If they really wanted to be serious, they should have dropped SF V and put Relevator on the ballot instead. Relevator would have more than likely won, and it would have looked good for legitmacy if SF V wasn't on the ballot in the first place.

What's done is done but if Geoff wants to legitimize this thing. Even small things on awards that are not on screen add up.

Even if Nintendo is behind the curve technology-wise their games are fun and Zelda continues to look like a blast. :yeshrug

They made Dishonored. I'm on board with whatever they do. Well, it's the Austin Studio, but still...!
