hogso Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Following the obligitory Music/Film threads in OT, I figure it's time for G&G to have it's own. There's usually one, right? My picks would be; Firewatch Virginia Overcooked Dragon Quest Builders World of Final Fantasy Inside I Am Setsuna That Dragon, Cancer With my personal GOTY being - Zero Time Dilemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Wow.. a topic I can't post in with any constructive response! I actually don't think I've played a game that has been released in 2016... Fallout 4, Batman: Arkham Knight (Asylum and City remasters), Borderlands 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Shadow of Mordor, Madden 16, Final Fantasy X/X-2 remaster... I'm both impressed and saddened.

briggaman Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Overwatch for me. Still playing it to this day and it's a game I can pop on for 30 minutes if that's all the time I have. Love the free content too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thought I'd have a little fun with this one.. The Daweii Video Game Awards 2016!!! The "This Soundtrack Has A Game?!?!" Award goes to... Furi Furi was one of the best boss rush games of the year, but I'm not here to congratulate it's tight and flawless gameplay, oh no, I am giving this game the award for the best soundtrack of 2016. This game truly delivered a soundtrack fitting of the fast and frenetic action happening on the screen. The "Best Game To Get Shit On By Overwatch" Award goes to... Battleborn The game no one played yet likely should and would have enjoyed. Battleborn was an arena based character driven action shooter. It had a campaign, but it's meat was the multiplayer. It's fate was sealed just 2 weeks later when a similar game, you may have heard of it called Overwatch came out. The "Pew Pew Demon's Go Boom" Award goes to... DOOM DOOM likely could have won my game of the year this year. DOOM was the reboot the series needed and deserved. It summed up for so many people just why they play games in the first place. This game wasn't serious it was gameplay on top of gameplay on top of gameplay. In an industry dead set on being like Hollywood this was trying to go back to 1994 again. One of the greatest games of 2016. The "Not Harvest Moon" Award goes to... Stardew Valley This game is probably the most peaceful and carefree games released in 2016. It was the handywork of one man Eric Barone and he delivered one of the best games of 2016. There isn't much to this write up because there isn't much to this game. It's very laid back and chill, you farm and stuff. The "Was Shit, But Shit No-Longer" Award goes to... Tom Clancy's: The Division The Division... The hot-hotness in gaming for a few days in February which soon turned sour as all the content dried up. Though it has been eight long months since then and the game is now rather good and definitely worthy of praise. UbiSoft Massive could have abandoned the game as they made their money, but they fixed it and continue to fix it. I think that deserves some praise. The "Boyband Of The Year" Award goes to... Final Fantasy XV This game is polarising. It doesn't have much in the way of a story. It doesn't have much in the way of a great game world either, but no game this year has held my attention as much as this one. Lots of that is down to the main characters. You grow attached to them on your extensive roadtrip and while they are annoying at times, it's a great character driven game. The "He's Got An Axe!! RUN!!" Award goes to... Dark Souls 3 Yes, Dark Souls 3 was one of the best games of 2016. It's DLC was a bit of let down, but the main game was polished and really well done. Dark Souls offers something very few games do and that is a real sense of urgency and fear. When you have an enemy that can kill you in a couple of hits charging you down it leaves memories you'll never forget. The "Game Of The Year 2016" Award goes to... Overwatch Overwatch nailed it. It was the most polished and most addictive online arena shooter of 2016. It is a game that whether you love shooters or not you'll likely dig this game. The characters and the animations are just so good, everything about Overwatch is polished and refined in a way many other games just aren't. This to me had to be my game of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) I'm so dull... 1. FIFA 17 2. Halo 5 (kinda last year but loads of DLC) 3. BF1 4. Uncharted Don't think i've played any other games all year. Kinda depressing really. Edited December 14, 2016 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobler Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Really poor year for me. I'd probably go XCOM 2, Dark Souls III and Witcher 3 Blood & Wine but even those don't feel like real GoTY contenders compared to previous years. A few indie games I've played have really struggled to feel original and interesting too. Edited December 14, 2016 by nobler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
