Whatever happens during the GOTY discussion, twenty-great-teen will never top it.

@wunder_: The music says yes.

This thread still going? I have a few suggestions:

BEST MOMENT/SEQUENCE:

• Night in the Woods - "Proximity" Scene. In a game full of poignant moments, this is probably THE most poignant-est(?) one. It shows why Bea is so bitter and confrontational around Mae so much, why she's completely in the right in thinking so, and how much of her life is a mess.
• Pyre - Your first Liberation Rite. It's the point in the game where you find out you can free one of your teammates... permanently and how much the story will branch from there.
• Persona 5 - The Igor Reveal.
• Breath of the Wild - Deflecting a Guardian beam with a pot lid. Enough said.

BEST NEW CHARACTER

• Pyre - Ti'Zo or Volfred Sandalwood. The former because of his time with the Nightwings and the latter because of how determined he is to get the crew to succeed.

OLD GAME OF THE YEAR

• Titanfall 2 - I was able to play it this year and was surprised at how good the campaign was.
• Vanquish and Bayonetta - The PC re-releases have put them in a much more stable condition compared to their original release. Vanquish, in particular, removed the FPS lock and the gameplay actually feels a lot smoother and responsive compared to the console versions. Probably better for the Remaster/Rerelease category.

Also, yep. Wasn't until after the Mementos introduction where it was cleared up.

I have no idea why the game offered romance opportunities later in the game when they introduced Tae Takemi early on in the story.

I love bombing giants!
