Here's the games I'm considering:

Titanfall 2, Doom, Uncharted 4, Quantum Break, Dark Souls 3, Forza Horizon 3, Final Fantasy XV, and maybe Infinite Warfare. Still got some other games I'd like to play though.

Doom came out like a million months ago, who even remembers that it existed? Learn 2 awards, videogame scrublords. If you want your game to win Best Picture, you gotta release it in December.

Shooters heavy year for me. The games I enjoyed the most this year were

Doom
Battlefield 1
Overwatch/Paladins
Titanfall 2
Final Fantasy 15
Clash Royale.

Doom is my GOTY.

I could also toss on Rainbow Siege 6 although technically that came out the year before

Post by: fistfulofmetal on December 13, 2016, 07:26:23 PM
Doom
Dark Souls 3
Battlefield 1
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
Titanfall 2

I'm not 100% on that order but those were the 5 games that stood out to me. Homeworld was a super surprise for me since I really only played it on a whim and ended up finding it to be one of the more enjoyable RTS games I've played in recent memory.

Doom is a no brainer for top spot though. The Doom series was one of the first games I was exposed to and it definitely was my first exposure to PC gaming so seeing it come back and feel so fresh while also evoking so much that made the series shine feels really good.

Battlefield 1 is the best shooter since Modern Warfare. I've been playing it for a month and a half and I still have "wow, this is amazing" moments in game. I don't know if I've had this much for since COD4 or Day of Defeat beta 1.3. Maybe it's not for everyone but I love it so much.

I haven't played Civ VI yet, though. I've been afraid, honestly.

Didn't play much else worth talking about this year. Gears 4 was kinda still Gears. Still the online gawd but then people wanted Gears 3 online remastered and they didn't stray out of that comfort zone. Street Fighter V :trash :trash :trash (The fighting game part was decent but everything surrounding it :trash )

Still need to get around to Titanfall 2 and DOOM tho'

Sorta.  Blood Money is awesome.  But Hitman 2016 takes the Blood Money concept and gives it not only way bigger and more complex levels, but this entire new Littlebigplanet style online angle with weekly elusive targets, escalations, user targets, new challenges and stuff.  Within a single level there's so many unique challenges thanks to tons of NPCs with their own paths and often even their own mini-stories. 

I definitely feel it's a Blood Money sequel, but it's like Blood Money taken to the next level and pretty impressive.  Sometimes it's over ambitious and it's got bugs and flaws, but I'd rather them shoot high then take the easy route.  I've already gotten a ton of mileage out of Hitman 2016 and I'm sure I'll get a lot more out of it before S2 starts.

Best games I've played this year: DOOM, Tyranny, Dishonored 2, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Final Fantasy XV, Stardew Valley, Witcher 3: Blood and Wine [if we're counting expansions, that's probably my GOTY], Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Dark Souls 3, Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero, and I'll throw in Atelier Sophie because I'm a weeb.

If Blood and Wine is out, I'd probably have to go with Tyranny or DOOM.

King of Fighters XIV for best fighter, easily. Project Diva X for best rhythm game. DOOM for best FPS (it's the first FPS I've actually liked since UT2k4).

Need to actually beat FFXV to see where it stands on my list.

I don't quite understand the turn aginst UC4. It's certainly better than 3 in both story and gameplay. I mean UC3 might as well not even exist since 4 cover's basically the same ground, but better. This is also the first UC that really seems to understand that it is verticality and openness in it's levels that separates it from other shooters. The level design in the 2nd half of the game is amazing and really encourages you to move around creating some fun gunfights.

A limp and stale sequel would be Gears of War 4.

UC3 was a bad game though.  UC4 may be bland and a bit dull at times, but it's still a good game.  The "turn" against UC4 has been there from the start and it's not people comparing it to UC3, but to the series high point at UC2.  Almost every time I see anyone rank the games, it's always U2 > U4 > the rest.  U4 is solid, well written and gorgeous with the best stealth & combat level design, but it's not spectacular.  Feels like Ratchet & Clank at this point, fun & pretty but just going through the motions.

UC3 was a bad game though.  UC4 may be bland and a bit dull at times, but it's still a good game.  The "turn" against UC4 has been there from the start and it's not people comparing it to UC3, but to the series high point at UC2.  Almost every time I see anyone rank the games, it's always U2 > U4 > the rest.  U4 is solid, well written and gorgeous with the best stealth & combat level design, but it's not spectacular.  Feels like Ratchet & Clank at this point, fun & pretty but just going through the motions.

UC4 was boring as fuck.

First half sure. After Ireland, can't agree on that.

I mean I think UC games are one time play through shallow games, but 4 is for sure the best take on the series.

Uncharted 4 was the most limp wristed sequel I've played in a long while. It's like they poured money and polish into the bare minimum for a sequel and left their imagination at the door.
I don't quite understand the turn aginst UC4. It's certainly better than 3 in both story and gameplay. I mean UC3 might as well not even exist since 4 cover's basically the same ground, but better. This is also the first UC that really seems to understand that it is verticality and openness in it's levels that separates it from other shooters. The level design in the 2nd half of the game is amazing and really encourages you to move around creating some fun gunfights.

A limp and stale sequel would be Gears of War 4.

There was no turn. I was supremely underwhelmed when it came out and promptly put it away to play other quality games that came out at that time such as Overwatch and DOOM.

You just have journalists who are wowed at a drop of the hat coming to grips that maybe this lauded game really wasn't all that great to begin with. The reason why this is happening now is because they are forced to evaluate it against the rest of the industry for goty award nominations and when compared to other great stuff that came out, UC4 is a highly polished but very boring game.

I just remembered that I rented Titanfall 2 and beat the single player campaign. That was a lot of fun, throw it on my list.

1. XCOM 2 (PC) - Improved in every way.

(http://i.imgur.com/ol61rdw.jpg)
2. The Last Guardian (PS4) - Loved it, despite technical issues.

(http://i.imgur.com/iCt7r7Z.jpg)
3. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (PS4) - Another blockbuster filled with memorable moments.

(http://i.imgur.com/wwlcJ7v.jpg)
4. Sid Meier's Civilization VI (PC) - Once they fix the launch issues it will be the best Civ game to date.

(http://i.imgur.com/xNjN462.png)
5. Fire Emblem Fates (3DS) - Sometimes more of the same is all that is needed.

(http://i.imgur.com/XB3kqJp.jpg)
6. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (Wii U) - A fun combat system goes a long way.

(http://i.imgur.com/Zk8CWBA.jpg)
7. Pathfinder Adventures (iOS) - I absolutely adored this cardgame during a short period.

(http://i.imgur.com/sMqZc3n.jpg)
8. Final Fantasy XV (PS4) - Perhaps it would have ended up higher up in the list if I hadn't been sidetracked early on.

(http://i.imgur.com/ErgTNnS.jpg)
9. Ratchet & Clank (PS4) - Really solid remake of a PS2 classic that I originally missed out on.

(http://i.imgur.com/5yHIotF.jpg)
10. Letter Quest Remastered (PS4) - Scrabble with a progression system is surprisingly fun.

Only played like five or six games released this year that made any impression
1. Doom - duh
2. Overwatch - TF2 ripoff that gets TF2 way better than valve does in 2016
Runners up; Grim Dawn was a blast for a little bit. I played way more Pokemon than anyone ever should, but I still can't tell if the game is actually good or if the nostalgia factor/grind formula is just so well honed that it can suck me in again after 15 years

Other shit I played that came out this year;
Deus Ex blew
SFV LOL
X Com 2 was cool for like ten hours but after ten hours of graphical glitches and merciless RNG I lost interest

If Valve refuses to make games then I'm extremely happy that other devs fill in those gaps.

I could go on at length about Valve's negligence re: anything that isn't CS GO, but I honestly don't really blame them. Why bother making a new game when you can invent a fake marketplace?

OK, this is how things are shaping up for me right now.  This was a weird year and I probably played less games than I ever have before, either due to work, health reasons, other stuff, or just frankly not giving a crap about games for various stretches of time.  It sucked and I hope to get back to playing more next year. 

Best Platformer: Shantae Half-Genie Hero- Like taking a trip back in time to the glory days of awesome 16-bit platformers. 

Best Fighting Game: Street Fighter V- Yes, despite all its issues...I still played the hell out of it and continue to do so.  It just got some major changes with Season 2, too.

Best FPS (Single Player): SUPERHOT- There some good FPS games this year, but SUPERHOT stood out to me as the most original and unique of all the games.  Love the aesthetic, too.  Runner-up is definitely DOOM.

Best FPS (Multiplayer): Overwatch- This is actually tough because not only are there several contenders, but I also feel like I still haven't spent enough time with any of the games.  For now I'm going with Overwatch, but I also have had some fun with Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.  I'd actually like to play Modern Warfare Remastered, but I don't want to buy that Infinite Warfare mess.  Overwatch is not a game that I was particularly-enthralled with at the start and didn't buy it right away, but it has been improved and received new modes and content since release, and I've been enjoying it lately.

Best Musou: Fate/Extella- Quiet year for these games.  Not only was I surprised to find that I was really enjoying this Dynasty Warriors-like game, but it also got me into the Fate series.  I've been watching Fate: Unlimited Blade Works and also picked up Fate Extra on PSP, which this game happens to be the sequel to.  This game is also a possible 2017 contender as it comes out in English next month.  But I expect that Musou Stars from Koei will be my favorite beat-em-up next year.

Best Beat-Em-Up: Valkyrie Drive- "Weaponised Lesbians Powered By Orgasms."  GOTY.  :doge

Best Adventure Game: Uncharted 4- This is the only single-player game that kept me up until the wee hours of the morning until I finished it.  While I haven't finished Rise Of The Tomb Raider yet, I think the fact that I was glued to UC4 and still haven't beaten Lara's latest shows which game I liked more.  Looking forward to Chloe Raider next year, too.

Best Comeback: SNK- The King Of Fighters XIV is an excellent return to form -and it's continuing to get support from SNK, with new content coming and a graphics upgrade in January- and I look forward to seeing what they have next.

Worst Company: FUCKONAMI- 'Nuff said.

Best new hardware: The PCs I got this year.  :rock 

Biggest thing I didn't care about: Playstation VR.

Best game I didn't play: Hitman-  This is getting a lot of praise.

GAME OF THE YEAR:

I think I played less and bought more games this past year than any time in my life. I still have like 6 games in shrinkwrap due to decent BF sales and no time to play anything. 2017 year of crackout.

GOTYs (mostly stuff that held my interest all the way through):
Dragon Quest Builders - Has a few poor parts, but super nostalgia kick and fun enough system.
DOOM - Pretty fantastic and much better than expected. Didn't really like demo, but enough people wouldn't shut up about and found out why. Combat and flow were aces.
SFV - Botched in many ways but still one of most played games this year I think. I am one of those people that want an arcade mode added, but overall great feel. Expected to ditch for KOF but kept coming back...haven't checked S2 yet.
FFXIV - Finally made way through heavensward. dope, best FF story in years.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on January 11, 2017, 12:07:49 AM
My top list for 2016

1.Doom-Every encounter was a thrill a miunte.

2.Titanfall 2-Just in general some of the most amazing set pieces in a long time.

3.Final Fantasy XV-Heavily flawed, but it still has a very charming cast and engaging world.

4.Quantum Break-Surprisingly good story and just good TPS gameplay.

5.Odin Sphere Leifthrasir-Fixes all the problems of the original.

6.Uncharted 4-It does everything that the previous games did well, but I also feel like it finally gets what makes Uncharted stand out. Great verticallity in it's level design and some amazing moments.

7.Dark Souls 3-Simply a good game.

8.Call of Duty Infinite Warfare-Probably the best COD campaign since MW2.

9.Battlefield 1-I don't like it as much as BF4, but the map design so far has been great and it's still solid BF.

10. Watch Dogs 2-It's not perfect as the gunplay and stealth is bad. Yet, the presentation is full of personality, the city looks great, and the missions actually felt like they had some thought to them. An open world game that did'nt feel super tedious.
