    Wait, people are surprised to see a Call of Duty game at the top of Jeff's list?

    I didn't expect to see Bayonetta 2 or Shadow of Mordor on Jeff's list! I don't remember him talking about either one at all! And seeing Advanced Warfare as his #1 is reeeeeeally tempting me to get it even though I haven't played a CoD since MW2. Also since it seems like everyone is putting it on their lists, I should probably buy Luftrausers especially if it wins the community choice on Steam.

    So far we've got three different GOTY from three staff members.

    GOTY deliberations will be very interesting, I can't wait.

    Jeff's list made me realize I should probably get a gaming PC sometime soon.

    In my local racket, I had a lot riding on Jeff's top three to be Luftrausers, Far Cry 4, and Jazzpunk.

    I really thought Jazzpunk was to be Jeff's Antichamber of 2014. I'm in deep solemnity over this one. It feels like I barely know him now.

    I really need to pick up Advanced Warfare, it looks like a blast.

    I was wondering if Jeff would be brave enough to put Destiny on his list. Can't say I'm surprised he didn't, but I would have been impressed if he did.

    Another controversial Jeff game. I finally bought Syndicate when it dropped in price, and I do mean to play it.

    And...I just got COD Advanced warfare off the Steam sale. I figured from recent comments this was going to be on his top 10, and probably better...

    I find it funny that Jeff said he felt slightly guilty about putting Far Cry 4 so high on his list for it being so similar to FC3, and then immediately proceeds to name AW his top game of the year.

    That's not entirely correct. Vicarious Visions is actually a Skylanders sweatshop.

    God, what would Far Cry 5 even be. Do they go more open world and put planes and crap? Just make the world really huge, maybe extend the use of the grappling hook. Basically a first-person Just Cause?

    But I can't imagine the game can follow the same format of hunting/base-raiding again. There's gotta be some other hook. Maybe they'll just make a full-length Blood Dragon and hope that does the trick.

    Actually, that just might. They'd have to make all that nonsense tolerable for a full-length game of course. After that though, who knows. We'll all be watching Avengers 3 by then.

    And he explains himself pretty well too.

    Anyway, I did expect AW to make his #1 due to how much he loved the multiplayer, and FC4 to be high, but the rest of his list is pretty surprising to me.

    Decent list except for advanced warfare. Advanced warfare is not a good game. The spawn points are terrible, the boosting just promotes ridiculous camping on top of buildings with snipers, the lag is the worst it's ever been in this series, the maps are all kinds of terrible besides like 2 of them. The kill streaks are either better or worse depending on if you think kill streaks should be worth using or not.

    What's hilarious is that the boss fights are so easy on the first play through even on expert that the dialogue becomes just a string of completely empty threats. It also serves to sort of make the game play feel hollow until Master and Torment+ start unlocking.
