Giant Bomb |OT 17| I'd Like To See His Old Man Pecker
- Thread starter Death Metalist
- Start date
- Status
I didn't see the AOE2 mention so I thought you were talking about Shenmue 3 for a second.
I finished Control like a week ago and put it at number 5 on my GOTY. A few days ago I realized it was probably top 3. Today I woke up and decided it was my GOTY, game is straight dynamite.
So far i'm looking at something like:
10. Telling Lies
9. Mortal Kombat 11
8. Fire Emblem
7. Mario Maker 2
6. Bloodstained
5. Power Rangers: Battle For the Grid
4. Resident Evil 2
3. Sekiro
2. Devil May Cry V
1. Control
Still have to finish Star Wars, play Pokemon and Death Stranding but I don't see the list changing too much. On reflection, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 or Samurai Showdown might knock out Telling Lies.

I don't know if it's just me, but lately all the videos from the GB video app on Apple TV have been freezing for me. The audio will still play normally, but the footage freezes in place constantly for a few seconds.
I was also watching their Stadia video on YouTube, and 17 minutes in I get an error report message. I don't know if GB changed their video codec and it's not Apple TV-friendly, but I wanted to check for any solutions.

I long for the days of 3+ hour AOE2 sessions and lan parties with my friends
would ya look at that, it's been 15 years.
I mean... I know it actually helps, I just mean in my case it didn't really help lol... I should check back on it before GOTY tho I'm not sure if there's really anything to spoil for me
I'm a bit conflicted on Pokemon Sword/Shield. On one hand I'm having a great time since there's still nothing else that quite scratches the same itch, but it very much feels like a Pokemon game on fast-forward. I'm not even talking about the exp-share or the extra ways of levelling Pokemon, but there just doesn't feel like much content compared to any previous game, especially between towns. There are clear steps forward, like being able to skip some tutorials and explanations and Bede, while a secondary rival, is easily the most antagonistic rival since Silver. But the general lack of content and occasionally bizarre design decision just feels more like rush than anything else. I wonder if the Wild Area ended up being more resource intensive than they'd expected.
Either way I'm not going anywhere near the Pokedex issue. That's where a lot of ire comes from and while I'm not overly concerned with it personally, I get why it's such a big thing for people.

Okay, good you've noticed that, I've seen that several people didn't know about the tagging thing and had trouble getting back to where they were.
But yeah, I'd say it's worth seeing through because like TheRightDeal and Control, I wake up every day thinking a little more of it. It's really sticking with me.
Tried watching the Stadia Quicklook on my Apple TV yesterday and had the same problem. Quite annoying.
It has an all time great ending, so yeah, i would want to experience that myself if i were you
im sure someone has done a spoiler free walkthrough i would go to that if you had to
Yeah, that and CS 1.3 where on every school computer. Great times.
one of us, one of us
(I hope you enjoy it! It's something that really means a lot to me, though partially due to that discussion/the friends that I met around it.)
Is anyone surprised at all the DS nominations?
I can't think of any other game that was talked about as much this year.

Not surprised about the DS nominations, but I feel like it shouldn't win in basically any category. Maybe Mads for his performance?

I thought he did a good job. Mads was way better. No way he doesn't win that category.
Death Stranding.
Does Geoff Keighley realize Untitled Goose Game was not House House's first game and thus isn't actually eligible for the Fresh Indie Game category it's nominated for?
I like it a lot. It also keeps surprising me. Not necessarily the supernatural stuff but how it handles the characterdrama and all the traumas that are abound. It's also bar none the best exectution of the "groundhog day" premise since they brillantly avoid repetion, despite the reset. Instead new layers are added continously.
i fear that outer wilds will get shafted
it probably can only win one of the indie categories and i am not positive of its chances

I'm in Chapter 11 and just now he seems to be talking much more than usual but for most of the game he's a subdued mumbling guy which I guess I understand but that's far from best performance material.
Is it about debut? I though it was called this because it is brought to us by Subway. Subway, eat fresh
I thought it's more of a "breakthrough" category. Like, the nominees have all made games before, I'm sure.
I just want to know if anything will come out of these recent RE2 DLC rumors with maybe an announcement at The Game Awards.
Best narrative nominations seem super thin and I liked a bunch of the games nominated. I'm bad at remembering stuff but i'm certain there's a lot of worthy candidates missing on that list.
The strategy game lists looks great though. It was a good year for the genre.

Interesting choices for The Game Awards to nominate. Kind of surprised Fire Emblem didn't get both an RPG and Strategy nomination but it should win best strategy.
Also nice to see Sayonara Wild Hearts and Untitled Goose Game get a decent amount of love, even though House House shouldn't be in the fresh indie category since they made that stretchy co-op game before (Can't think of the game's name). Baba is You is getting my vote for best indie though!
Neat that Control got a GOTY nomination too. I wasn't sure if it was gonna get a GOTY nomination due to its sales not being super impressive, but its up for the award!

You, plebians: Parvati! Reedus!
Me, galaxy brain: Dr. Casper Motherfucking Darling
After 60 hours of Fire Emblem, I want a mode where I can automate the school stuff and just go straight to the battles.
Darling won't win, but the fact he was even nominated shows someone at the Game Awards knows what the hell is up.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with journalists liking the game... There is, however, something fishy with the Award's organizer being both best friend with Kojima AND in the game himself and yet, from what it looks like, not even recusing himself....
I actually thought I did. Meant to add it in parenthesis along with Easy Allies to show the podcasts I tried. Two that I always see mentioned alongside Giantbombcast.
And yeah, I'm not losing any sleep over the missing stuff in Sword/Shield, I just didn't buy them. And really I don't even have a problem with the trimming down of mon in the game (even if I prefer B/Ws method of only new pokemon till postgame), it's more the complete lack of postgame and how everything seems even more on rails. Maybe it stands out more next to Lets Go since it showed how much of a straight line path the games have become. Stuff like the always on exp is full dumb though. It also seems hard to find any resonable people backing this point of view online and its just a big angry mob going nuts countered with commentators telling everyone "who cares".
I think there's always going to be a bit of unease with shows that both present awards and also advertise upcoming products in the same field. Presenting awards to products in the same show that previously acted as a means of advertising the same products isn't anything new. The only real difference this time is that the presenter and face of the show is personally and professionally involved in one of the nominated products and its principal creator.
It's not a conspiracy, it's just not a very good look.

Honestly the awards are so nothing that I wouldn't think he'd need to step out even if he was personally stuffing the ballot boxes. It's all a big series of commercials peppered with a couple of feel-good statements about games.
Oh yeah for sure, the whole thing is a complete shitshow no matter what but if he wants to appear serious and legit he should be more transparent.
