Same, happy new year! Go hide in your bomb shelter :) My illegal fireworks will penetrate right through it! lol

Happy new year

Romando Kraus Trending gamer goes to: ...The overweight guy who doesnt even talk about games! Yeeeey...

Olter he's morbidly obese to the point where if you lit him on fire he would burn for days because he has so much fat. not just overweight

Except he does. He also did a 'Best of the Year' vid recently. I don't much care for his 'Francis' alter-ego, it's just too awkward, but the guy's a fairly chill dude overall.

@Romando Kraus What about Yahtzee with Zero Punctuation? Granted, he hasn't released his GOTY 2016 yet, which is surprising, but he's generally cool & honest (and has a delightful accent, too)

Let's have some fun, what's the worst GOTY video you have seen? The worst I have seen is angry joe's.

Illusion Same here. I had a hard time getting past the first area but then I got pulled into the story and now it's one of my favorite games

Just can't bring myself to play it :(

HydraStrike And can you rather than that say WHY is Mack wrong about it? Like show us that his points dont work?

Completely agree. I have 200 hours and am just coming up to the end of the story now :)

I felt like he only really focused on the combat and largely ignored the story, characters, world, and rpg elements. The combat definitely leaves some things to be improved but it isn't the only thing that makes up the Witcher 3.

John Red after watching his recent review I’m starting to think it might not be

This comment aged well.

i mean this comment kinda speaks for itself

Great game

Definitely agree with this.

+WildTiger You know he did a wab on xcom 2 right? might answer your question.

This thread has been inactive for 3 years

I paid £60 for No Man's Sky, I was taking for a mug

In fact I would rather be mugged, at least that would have given some scum bag drugs that would eventually lead to their own death

Infinite Warfare must have come a close second

I agree that NMS is not worth 60 quid. Nope. But it wasn't THAT bad.

nah your mom is the worst game of the year, too much cinematics and not enough action my boy!

Third person is great in many types of games but not when it's a tactical shooter as it allows you to see around corners and over obstacles which kind of ruins the whole sense of sneaking around for me.

I agree you on that, i tried playing fallout3/fallout nv, couldn't hit anything in third person using range weapon, i didn't have any problems using first person. But disagree. Deus Ex HR, is first person/third person game, still a great game. I personally have an opinion that not including third person mode is developer lazyness because they do not want to include proper moving/atacking animation. Example of it are borderland and dead island, using hacks/cheats you could enable third person, but using it, isn't optimal for me, it is clunky, looks horrible. That's my viewpoint, it always was, hope it make my reasoning more crearly now.

You have jedi knight/jedi academy. I played tons of that games multiplayer in my youth and it add to the immersion. The thing that you could duel with people for half an hour and didn't get hit once or redirect rocket comming your way and the person atacking you was epic. Addition of force powers and first person pawns any multiplayer to this day. You die too freaking quick in todays multiplayer games. It is a shame.

Frosty splatoon would like to have a word with you.

Tom Clancys rainbow games had a good 1st/3rd person system. Not perfect but decent. Again it ruins the online aspect though.

Julius Benter I honestly couldn't agree more. i love the Witcher 3 👏👏👏

my GOTY 2015. youre late bruh

mongoloid I did not put a year in my comment. Still even its 2016 its still better than any games came out in 2016.

yea ur definitely right julius. but gotta say the title is Best and Worst GOTY 2016...

You are so wrong mate. You have kotor, legacy of kain, bloodrayne, gothic etc. Not every rpg is open world sandbox rpg. The beauty of rpg is not about difficulty of combat, but the immersiveness of it.

I totally agree with that, the industry needs people like me.

Worth A Buy u didn't mention uncharted 4

Lol! They made their own graphics. They have no relation to each other. They are only a few ways to make top down graphics for this type of games: 1)like Rimworld and Arhitect did, basically vector type forms/sprites. 2)hipster pixelated graphics 3)high end prerendered sprites from 3D, big budget needed.

Facts? :))) One search can give you the lead developer talking about the graphics. They are just similar. have the same art direction thats all. Loved you inside source lol: "Blame my (Tynan's) lack of art skill - especially with characters. I made the character art >you see in the trailer as a stopgap, and borrowed the Prison Architect style because I'm >not a good enough artist to develop a new one. " Beware of the "facts" on the internet folks and learn a bit about game development.

Second: While they have similar vector style direction, there is not one asset to be similar. Actually Rimworld has more polished graphics overall. They are both 2 different but great games, but you guys need learn about art direction. Having the same art direction doesn't make the game the same, or a "copy". Man that got me triggered :)))

"Rimworld is limitless." what utter shite. i think Rimworld is as great as any indie game but to call it limitless is ignorance or stupidity. for one, you could have a 1000+ NPC prison in PA. you can simulate massive amounts of people living and working in a prison facility. whereas Rimworld is optimized for colonies of under 20 pawns. the game is balanced around that maximum number, and while I have pushed some savegames beyond 30 (Randy), the game quickly goes from being fun to being a resource management chore because the game map is designed to provide for a much lower population count. even with caravans and trading added in A16, it's still very much optimized (hardware) and balanced (design) as a small colony sim. so that's just ONE major limitation of Rimworld you obviously didn't know about as a fanboy. don't even get me started on your bullshit argument that Rimworld puts in a constant stream of content whereas PA doesn't. prior to their final release, the PA crew were doing CONSTANT MONTHLY updates for YEARS. i don't think they missed even one month or went on holiday. the rate of their content development has been on par and at times even higher than Rimworld's substantial updates every few months or so (few months between A15 and A16?). just because a prison-themed management game isn't particularly your taste, you decide to be blindly vitriolic towards that game and stupidly declare your planet-survival one the king of all trades "limitless" management/sim game. nice try. want to compare it to other great sim games just to see how "limitless" an individual game actually is?

Dwarf Fortress, the game that Rimworld is taken from, was limitless. Rimworld only has about 1% complexity that Dwarf fortress had, and to learn the game mechanics took brains, and years to master.

You're still giving money to Valve unless the key was stolen. But they're getting less than if you bought it from them directly. They are getting less money. I recommend Opium Pulses or CDkeys for buying Steam games. They'll undercut Steam. So on top of reducing Valve's cut, you're paying less too.

For me, it would be XCOM 2 and Total War: Warhammer. DLC is a shitty corporate move, but the base game has been my favourite TW game since Napoleon. You're very right, though, Steam needs a lot more quality control, or at least more categorization in order to sift though the garbage to find the gems. You can basically only rely on Mack, Joe, Jim and ACG now in order to see what's shit and what isn't. You cant go 3 games into your exploration queue without finding some broken meme-infused RPGMaker game.

Couldn't agree more about Steam. I am already used to Steam being a ocean of shit, with a few scattered beautiful islands of actual good games in it. Where I have to to accept the help of Navigators, who explore the ocean of shit as a full time job, like for example Mack or Totalbiscuit. But Steam is getting worse and worse and worse, the ocean is growing ever larger while the number of islands stays about the same. I think we are close to the point where even the Navigators will get lost and be unable to find anything good.

@Drain Blute Steam is a sad reflection of pc gaming in general. Because most companies are servicing the consoles in back alleys, the pc market is treated like the used condom of the industry. Steam would be the.... um. Fuck. I got lost in my own metaphor.

Which is sad considering PCs have the superior technology and thus should have superior games. Yet we'll build a super computer, then use it to play 15$ indie games because those are the best games on the market. Whatever we do get that's high end, is designed for consoles first, so they typically require very little to run off expensive machines. The days of games being made for PC first, then watered down for consoles, if ported at all, are long gone. Now it's console first, then shovelware PC second.

star citizen will come out when the game is actually set

To each his own

SpyderOfDoom gime a copy i would like to try XD. i like games like squad(mechanics) but its not finished yet

Spyder2 Still playing CSGO. I'm at 3500 hours now. I have a 2000+ game library on steam. I can't stop playing CSGO. Please help.

Warhammer Total War

Naa I thought D3 was more immersive, more story driven and although it degenerated into a series of predictability in the final few levels the whole experience with the torch was amazing. The only people who hated the torch thing were the twitch shooter brigade who wanted a fast paced "Quake" like experience.

Worth A Buy I would respectfully disagree, but i see where you are coming from - the begining of Doom 3 was very immersive, but that was because it had taken HEAVY inspiration from Half Life 1, which also had survival horror elements in the begining. But unlike D3, HL horror slowly faded away, while Doom 3 awesome horror begining overstayed its welcome and was quite annoying after first few levels, and this is coming from a guy who started with HL series as my first shooters. Doom on the other hand , is pretty much HD version of Brutal Doom and imo it's really worthy of Doom title.

No, we wanted a DooM 1 & 2 like experience, and we got it. My favourite game of 2016.

Nah, mate it's because it didn't even made sense for the in-game lore. So in the far future nobody got it into their heads that it be easier to get some scotch-tape or something and tie it to a gun or his armor. Yeah fuck that logic, even actual HL which is set in the real world which had it's fair share of scary moments had a flashlight ready and available at all times. And HL1 was pretty much a structural remake of Doom 1.

Doom (2016) was a dumb shooter just like Doom 1 and Doom 2, hence, people loved it as majority of humans are dumb, it is scientifically proven, Doom 3 was and actual Horror FPS and required a little amount of effort to be put on the brain and hence was not appreciated by all these dumb gamers who wanted to blow up stuff with their mouse left click more than think about approaching the level with caution, but Doom 3 is still considered the few elite intelligent humans as a Masterpiece, I can replay Doom 3 and still enjoy my time but I can never replay Doom (2016) as it will be repetitive as hell

Darkest Dungeon, yeah, one of many great indie games this year. He also goes on to praise Ultimate General Civil War, which is another great indie game. Baffling.

ambis99 You are only limiting yourself against other players by doing so.

Not much point not limiting himself to 3rd person if it ruins the fun for him though. What's the fun in winning if playing isn't fun?

P0Omah All he has to do is play on a server that force everyone to play in first person, that way everyone is on a level playing field. But to each their own.

I'm sorry...I meant 1st person servers!!

Was XCOM 2 released February 2016 or February 2015? I kind of lost track of time. If XCOM 2 was released February this year, Mack lost all credibility from me.

yabyab yab it was last last year. i had that game for a long time definitely not 2016

mongoloid you're a naughty boy. XCOM 2 was indeed released in 2016.

Crystallking H oh, he played Octodad and it was hilarious! :D

GeorgySviridoff He did? Got to see that! :P

FLAMINGBABYPUNCH that game... is so fucking hard lmao

JustinAkaDeadstuff stardew valley is also really good

***** factorio is early acces just like rimworld. Diego Torres Stardew valley is awesome Indeed I played it allot when I had to wait for people in mmo's such an awesome game

Totally agree, I use controller for Rocket league and any driving game that does not support a wheel.

I find controllers are much better for driving games. mostly because a keyboard is either on or off. i use a controller for racing games on the PC (only have a few) as I don't have a wheel as of yet, I would like to get one but I have the problem of setting it up as I have to use my mums PC for games that are hardware intensive like BeamNG, as my laptop doesn't cut it.

better for flying as well imo

I play with both. I don't understand elitism on either side of it.

The problem comes when devs think they can sack together a PC port for a game meant for the console. Bunch of Bellend's!

It was also a big fuck you to the company that keeps on messing up Harvest Moon

stardew was a great game in my opinion, not a very hard game at all but i found myself losing hours just straight farming. I dont think Mack would enjoy that game though, it dosent seem up his ally to much

Communist Mr Saturn He said that's great game. (Watch his Wab) Idk why not Goty.

oh shit, you right

i love the narrative of that shit. i wish the story goes on for 10yrs. imagine the amount of my time wasted

Third person RPG games work better on M+K take wow for example or any other MMO. Platformers are better on keyboard, fighting games are great on keyboard, space games are awesome with mouse aiming but better with flight stick.

I agree with MMOs, because you tend to have many abilities, so keyboard. Platformers work pretty well on both. But fighting games and space sims are way better on a controller. I tried playing space sim with M+K and I found it really bad. Also, just to let you know, I grew up on playing games with M+K, never had a console up until 2016. So if anything, my preference is more biased towards M+K. Yet I still prefer controller for the games I listed.

Worth A Buy I'd say that depending on the fighting games, it could be awkward with combo inputs on keyboard

Top down, platformers and 3rd person rpg's are superior on M+K. There's only one argument that needs to be mentioned. Amount of hotkeys, but then again, developers seem to lack the knowledge of how to let one use them. I remember actually downloading mods for Skyrim to be able to bind everything to different hotkeys, no pause the game to change weapons/armor or use different potions etc. That made the combat a bit funnier, faster and less repetetive even though it was bad overall.

What are you smoking? I want some of it.

its cause your playing against other consoles

In Ben Not talking about online i am talking about single player he acts like even that is too hard for us.

+Bjørn Büchert-Jakobsen How would you know that unless you saw him in action? He even said he does just fine on PC.

try playing counterstrike with controlla. its just the full potential of certain games is more realized with m+k so therefor better

Ohoho you are SO wrong if you think you could go up against a PC gamer that could aim for shit, the only reason you might think that is because you're going strictly against other console games

MOStein Same lol

Update: I was wrong :/

me 2´

and cod should be the worst

Pedro Carneiro Batista yup

+Aura Fuck off. Worst game of the year (triple a anyways)

why do people want a game that litteraly as nothing original for game of the year Specially at the price tag that it is, but ok

Pedro Carneiro Batista a game does not have to be original to be good. Overwatch took the hero shooter genre and perfected the gameplay. I also enjoy competitive in games like csgo and overwatch has that going for it

because its not an amazing game. the whole concept has been done before, plus it is not a very in depth game that requires a lot of skill.

Blox117 I got dem notifications on And so what if the concept has been done tomb raider was a thing before uncharted came out and that game is amazing. Also at the higher levels of comp it is a very high skill level game everyone on the team needs to do their job or the team will lose as a whole.

The Pooch that is why it is not very skilled, too much reliance on teams and power up abilities like mack said in the video.

Tiago Goulart dude have u seen the steam reviews

Eric Enström the pc port is a fucking mess but it's near to being fixed and it works perfectly for me and tbf it's a fucking incredible game but just because if it being another wank pc port it shouldn't get goty

Tiago Goulart I wouldnt say that it has stellar level design. Look on Half life , it came out 20 years ago and has the best level design that WASN'T STILL BEATEN.

Eric Enström Yeah and they barely say anything about the game, it's a tech support page. I had no issues with the game and throughoutly enjoyed it like Mack

Sedar Games but it was, the Clockwork Mansion and A Crack in the Slab missions are easily better than any Half Life level

I actually went back and watched his original review of Subnautica and it was *so* long ago - there's so much more to the game now, it's definitely worth another look - or wait for the full release and do it then?

Cougarific go to subnauticas RU-vid Channel u will See amazing Updates

it's pretty usefull, you can have waay more keybinds, you easily chat with other people, navigating and walking is easy and fast to learn,... i don't get why it is a weak link ?

The only thing that mouse and keyboard sucks at is driving. Besides that it can work with everything else.

Noize true that :') driving still 'works' im used to it, i use the arrow keys for driving in race games, because i grew up with it like that, my first game ever was nfs underground and was for pc, but it certainly is nicer on a controller it's also the only thing i would ever use a controller for i think, together with platformer games etc like nintendo games

ikkee benblij Exactly, its doable, but it doesn't work as well.

WASD is too lurchy to give me a smooth cinematic camera movement to match the sweet graphics... That and walking is like run,stop,run ,stop.... i like to inch forward sometimes, can't do that with a keyboard.

yep your right. its rock paper scissors now. "for me"

The Philosophating Phrog I was shocked when he said it's complex and deep XD

I mean, the game is fun, its just fun in a different way....

The Philosophating Phrog Hoi3 is extremely in depth, to a point of being tedious in some points, I'm happy with hoi4, but I would like an esponiage system or more events, or just more content tbh, and dlc paradox come on, ur not EA

Rares Macovei it was though

Almost like he has an opinion, odd

Retog no its not its easy

for kids woof wooof

It's an esport, gitgud bitch

Retog we are not saying we are bad dumb ass we are saying its easy. And some esports are shit so stfu

Retog also you cant compare it to the skill of battlefield cos its for kids
