Post dem GOTY lists bois

[archie4208]

(I probably missed a number of games on the poll so let me know if you want something added).

1) DOOM
2) Forza Horizon 3
3) Dark Souls 3
4) Civilization 6
5) Overwatch

[Positive Touch]

the fuck is this? mods please change the title to reflect the fact that doom is the goty

[Rahxephon91]

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.

[Joe Molotov]

the fuck is this? mods please change the title to reflect the fact that doom is the goty

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.

[Great Rumbler]

GOTY is obviously Atelier Sophie.

[Stoney Mason]

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

[Human Snorenado]

My goty is probably the dunkey review of Last Guardian, tbh

[Huff]

You must build a boat

[eleuin]

what clicker games came out this year

[fistfulofmetal]

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.

[tiesto]

DQ7 3DS, DQ Builders, and Xanadu Next

[Joe Molotov]

My goty is probably the dunkey review of Last Guardian, tbh

Wrong, Super Mario Bros 2 wins again baybee! 18th year in a row!

[Let's Cyber]

Do expansions count?  Because Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, obviously.

1)Blood and Wine
2)Dark Souls III
3)The Last Guardian
4)Xcom 2
Honorary nerd pick: Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth

Haven't played Doom yet and I'm only like 10 hours into FFXV

[Valkyrie]

Fuck, I gotta play more games.

It'd probably be DOOM if I had played it, so my only option is Bootywatch.

Doom and then some other stuff

[tiesto]

I also loved I Am Setsuna, even if it wasn't my favorite of the year...

[Brehvolution]

Witcher 3 for the second year in a row.

[Samson Manhug]

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.

[Tasty]

I literally only bought one new game this year (Moon.)

[Beezy]

Battlefield 1 is the best shooter since Modern Warfare.

That title belongs to Titanfall 2, bruh.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Overwatch bruv

[Take My Breh Away]

Overwatch
Forza Horizon 3
Hitman
Watch Dogs 2
Inside

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 (The fighting game part was decent but everything surrounding it )

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

[Beezy]

Great game. 2nd best shooter this year after Titanfall 2.

Do not understand the worlds love for Overwatch. It had to be one of the most unfun, archaic, chaotic FPS I've played since the HD console era.

[TakingBackSunday]

It's DOOM losers

[MMaRsu]

No Stardew Valley in poll> Most useless fucking poll on the forum

Also Im the only one to post this game lol yall got bad fucking tastes

[Bebpo]

You can tell the people who've played Hitman (2016) and who have not 

Doom is a good choice too!  But fuck, Hitman is next-level stealth gaming.  Kojima better be playing this shit.

[MMaRsu]

I mean shit.. Hitman is good but its basically Hitman Blood Money 2.0 I really like it but its really not that much better then Blood Money. Guess noone played that game.

[CatsCatsCats]

It's Overwatch for me, game has really grabbed me and made it fun to learn different heroes and when to use them

[Bebpo]

I mean shit.. Hitman is good but its basically Hitman Blood Money 2.0 I really like it but its really not that much better then Blood Money. Guess noone played that game.

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.

I only need one Animal Crossing in my life breh.

Speaking of, does free updates count? Cause Welcome Amiibo is pretty great.

[Positive Touch]

isn't stardew valley just an American knockoff of harvest moon?

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, but it's really good. And on Steam.

Stardew is better then Animal Crossing tho

[a slime appears]

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.

[Great Rumbler]

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.

[tiesto]

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.

[CajoleJuice]

okay now you've got my interest

[Cerveza mas fina]

Having flaws is ok, its exciting. Demon Souls, Hotline Miami, Witcher 3.

Better then overpolished and sterile games like UC4

[El Babua]

Since I probably won't be playing many more games this year

1. DOOM/Dishonored 2 (can't decide!)
2. Dark Souls 3
3. Final Fantasy XV
4. The Witness
5. Blood and Wine

[Mr. Gundam]

World of Final Fantasy
Gundam Breaker 3
Final Fantasy XV
Gravity Rush Remastered
DOOM

Haven't played Last Guardian yet.

[Let's Cyber]

This thread has convinced me to try out Hitman.

[thisismyusername]

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.

Doesn't help that Amy Henning/the creative lead was thrown out of the studio to have Neil "You know, Elle. We really are... THE LAST OF US(TM)" Druckmann do it.

[eleuin]

hitman goty

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.

[Cerveza mas fina]

sorry but uc3 has  better and more shooting then uc4

but maybe the whole uc formula has just wore thin with 5 games in 9 years

[Bebpo]

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.

isnt that the thing though,if you are going through the motions its not good or exciting

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.

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.

[Mr. Gundam]

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.
