ShadySands Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) I guess it's Mass Effect: Andromeda since it's the only game from this year that I remember finishing.

Humanoid Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 DOS2 is the only 2017 release I've meaningfully played thus far (well, one of two, but the other is a microtransaction-laden mobile game). I'm not comfortable giving out GOTY awards by default though, maybe I should go and finally play Thimbleweed Park to give it some semblance of legitimacy. Or I might just leave it vacant like the black hole that was gaming in 2014. (During the last week of this year, I will finally play the Switch and its two big titles, but a week isn't enough time to award any game the GOTY award either unless I do so retrospectively) For the record: 2016 - Stardew Valley 2015 - The Witcher 3 2014 - no award 2013 - Monaco : What's Yours is Mine 2012 - XCOM 2011 - The Witcher 2 2010 - Fallout: New Vegas L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oner Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ah, Stardew Valley was such a treat. I kinda want to replay it but it's also a massive timesink.

Humanoid Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I plan on replaying it when proper co-op support is finally added sometime early next year. I've already done a solo run when it was new, and a glitchy co-op run with the makeshift multiplayer mod this year, so I've gotten plenty of value out of it already despite them taking almost two years to deliver the multiplayer functionality (that was always promised).

Gorgon Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If everybody is saying Elex maybe I should give it a try. I dunno, undecided on goty Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If everybody is saying Elex maybe I should give it a try. Resist the peer pressure. Besides, unless you go the Razor1911 route, a bit tricky to 'try' it. 2 Why has elegance found so little following?

Zoraptor Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Don't listen to the square. Sounds like a natural Berserker, that guy. All the cool kids are doing Elex!

Sarex Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Haven't played that much, it's a toss up between TW: Warhammer 2 and Dishonored 2. I think I would give the award to Prey though, but as I only watched a stream playthrough of it and haven't played it myself I think that disqualifies it.

Fenixp Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 A tie between Prey and Nier: Automata I suppose. Both games are pretty much an exact opposite of each other, so that's a thing I can do, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marelooke Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Prey, if only because it's the one game that I played that gripped me enough that I actually finished, figuratively speaking. D:OS2 and Nier seem rather promising, but Nier gets disqualified for being a sloppy PC port and Divinity I need to actually finish first. No basing review scores on only a partial playthrough here! (unless a game is so bad that I don't make it to the end of course, which isn't the case for D:OS2 unless quality takes a very steep nosedive later on) Edited November 29, 2017 by marelooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiach Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Probably go with Prey or FF XV. The other best games would all be reissues like Yakuza 0, Star Ocean TLH, FF XII Zodiac. Thanks for shopping Pawn-O-Matic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marelooke Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 ^Spoiler warning for #9 He spoils the start of Prey and arguably one of the (few) big jumpscares as well. Anyway, most of those are console games (or console ports of varying quality) so not really relevant to me. And yeah, did manage to watch most of the video (skimmed through some of the console game due to not relevant to me) despite the...enthusiasm of the host.

Huinehtar Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I would have said Shadow Tactics - Blades of the Shogun, but it was released on early december last year. Sorry, the backlog is still huge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algroth Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Don't think I've played through a game that was released this year. Same, though I am planning on getting through Hollow Knight and Torment: Tides of Numenera soon enough. As to which is the best game I've played for the first time this year, it's probably Undertale. That was an emotional rollercoaster and then some. 1 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yeah, Undertale was my GotY last year. 2 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Bartimaeus Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Not exactly a resounding endorsement. I've still yet to try Torment... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

ShadySands Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It wasn't terrible but it wasn't exactly great either. I may not be the right audience for it as I've never been able to push through Planescape. I can't think of another game I've finished from this year... still need to complete D:OS2, still need to install Elex... drawing a blank for any other games that came out this year Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, the backlog is still huge It's okay, you're not the only one! I don't mind that the game isn't from 2017, I just beat Vanquish, Bayonetta and Darksiders this year. So that's saying something Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...
