Top of my head:

Yakuza
Yakuza
TitS
RE
Gravity
Nioh
Nier
Zelda
Persona
Tales
Toukiden
Tekken
Golf

And even with visual novels alone you have well regarded games like Collar x Malice, both Utawarerumono sequel games, Chaos;Child, and Danganronpa V3 (...though the only ones of those I'll get to this year are CxM, DR V3, and maybe Chaos;Child).

Lots of great Japanese games across the board.

I was right, not one mention of Golf.

GB in Microsoft's pockets confirmed. I always thought they were weirdly chummy with Phil Spencer.

Ain't Golf getting covered by those east beasts?

so the Des2ny character creator is identical to Dest1ny's, they couldn't even be bothered to add in camera rotation, let alone beards, which people have been requesting for three years

lol

What customization is there, even? Can I be a robo wizard? Can I give myself robot glasses?

That's some real lazy shit.

 

[Teddified]

I still need to finish the latest DLC for Destiny, so I won't even think of getting Destiny 2 till I finish that......if that ever happens lol.

Rise of Iron is trash. Just skip it and jump on the D2 train.

I can't it's my convenient excuse to not buy Destiny 2 when I already have enough I want to play now.

That's one hell of a GotY quote.

Can't even give my guardians a haircut or sex-change...why?!

you can be male or female
you can be a boring human, a boring blue human, or a cool magic robot
no glasses

I know a lot of people don't care about character customization (especially in Destiny), but I do and (I hate to say this) it just feels so lazy

just adds to the "we reaaaally want people to see this as a big sequel, just look at this huge 2!" vibe

 

[TraBuch]

I bet if it was a new Powerstar Golf, both East and West would be talking about it nonstop.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Do you think they don't care about those games? I'm sure a few people on the crew would put their weight behind either of those games. There are plenty of great games that people at GB care about that aren't named PUBG.

They really don't

The only one who cares about games that came out this year are Alex and Nier/Yakuza

I would call the rest of the crews interest with current games that are not PUBG a 'middling interest'.

 

[Exterminieren]

You'd have to be HIGH to think Dan doesn't care about Zelda.

Sounds like a pretty shitty website for video game coverage if thats the case

Good, good. Would have liked a dapper robot monocle but I'll take what robo wizard.

I also really like customization, even knowing full well it's a primarily first-person game and also you wear a helmet. Is the gear the same regardless of race?

 

[The Dear Leader]

You'd have to be HIGH to think Dan doesn't care about Zelda.

The man literally wept when playing Zelda, if ya'll don't think hes on some Nintendo shit this GOTY you're out of your minds.

Imma set my my whole GOTY spiel aside for a moment. I think you're crazy.

 

[MassiveNights]

It's Destiny, with some of the bullshit.

 

[brainzelda]

Oh... Everybody's Golf is actually a golf game...

With all the chatter around it, and its Engrish title, I thought it was some meta-commentary game on the state of the videogame industry, a la Work Time Fun or some shit.

Why do people care again?

 

[Data West]

Alex will get way into Golf when he realizes one of the bodies gives you Naruto run

The man literally wept when playing Zelda, if ya'll don't think hes on some Nintendo shit this GOTY you're out of your minds.

He plays PUBG every night with his wife

wait what

got a gif?

It's apparently a very good golf game, and is in a long running series that people are already fond of.

 

[Hasney]

Also, running like that knocks people over, making it look like you're just clotheslining everyone.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Dan and Abby will go hard for Zelda, Vinny will probably join in. Alex will fight for Nier. Ben will be the "this is my indie that I hold very close to my heart" guy. Brad is already foaming at the mouth over Destiny 2. And we still don't have Mario Odyssey or Wolfenstein.

These guys will have plenty to argue about without PUBG.

EDIT:

Also: Jason will be putting up for Dead Cells provided it releases this year. Don't be surprised to see Jeff join him.

yeah, armor is the same for every race but each class' armor styles are pretty different

What you're saying is that if PUBG happens to not be eligible the GOTY deliberations will actually be interesting.

 

[Data West]

no but its one of the young male bodies. all the bodies change your animations

 

[RumbleHumble]

If PUBG gets in the mix, it's still this, but with these guys all fighting for placement beneath it. It'll be like 2013 when everyone was like "So, the Last of Us is at the top, right?"

 

[TraBuch]

I've gotten the sudden urge to play Chrono Cross and Suikoden. Hm. I don't really have a way to play either right now.

Fair enough.

oti doesn't actually read posts, he just answers them

Nintendo probably created the concept of PUBG in his head

i was in

but now im out

 

[OdysseusVA]

Did Jeff say whether he was doing the after show?

 

[Hindl]

They really don't

Multiple people, including Jeff, are enjoying Mario + Rabbids

 

[Tubobutts]

I think I'm gonna stop playing Darkest Dungeon on iOS until the developer makes some changes with the UI. Personally, I find it almost unplayable because everything is so small and your fingers are always in the way of the text descriptions. I'm pretty sure they ported the game without making any changes. Just because a touch screen is the closest thing you can get to mimicking a mouse cursor doesn't mean there aren't some important changes you need to make.

I eventually got used to it but yeah the decision to make it so you have to hold on top of a thing to see its description despite your finger always being in the way is mind boggling bad.

 

[Wunder]

Did Jeff say whether he was doing the after show?

not this week

 

[RumbleHumble]

Fair enough.

It'll still be interesting, promise!

 

[OdysseusVA]

not this week

Thanks!

They should kill the stream then

 

[Catvoca]

I've had Suikoden installed on my vita for like ~2 years and still haven't gotten around to it.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Have the aftershows been decent? I'm debating if it's worth catching up on.

It's basically just another hour of Bombcast with Jeff and Ben. I happen to really enjoy that but if you're already down on the Bombcast then i wouldn't bother.

 

[alr1ght]

Nintendo will release Super Mario Sunshine on Switch VC this year and it will win GB GOTY.

This. The call-ins are fun and it's a little more gaming centric/directed. I like it, but it definitely is more Bombcast.

 

[TheXbox]

I appreciated Alex's tweets about Ryan, even if it's just general sadness. Makes me happy when he and Vinny bring him up on the podcast.
