@merxworx01: I agree, I remember Alex saying he was never able to stay engaged with a lot of the long games like the fallouts and elder scrolls. I know for me personally, I have to be in a specific mood to be interested in long games. Witcher 3 and fallout 4 are the only 2 Single player games in the past couple years that I’ve dumped 70+ hours in at once. Cyberpunk will probably be the next one for me
Just finished the game- severely underrated... while not without its many, many faults, it’s easily in 7-10 Slot on my GOTY. I enjoyed the story and going around the world fighting the hordes. The game ran pretty bad on my base ps4 though. There were a few times in lost lake where my FPS couldn’t have been going over 10... it would stay like that Till I left camp. The game does have some good jank though. Some really stupid stuff would happen due to technical issues that I would get a good laugh out of.
@big_denim: I would totally be interested if the game supported VR and regular standard controls. The half life Alyx release has me tempted to finally crack and buy into VR and I agree, steep 2 in VR would be awesome to see
@big_denim: yup next year is absolutely stacked and I can already see animal crossing being the front runner for GB GOTY if it pushes that series forward in noteworthy and fun ways, while still retaining what everybody loves so much about that series. Im still crossing my fingers that Ubisoft is getting ready to announce steep 2. I thought the first game was plagued with bad, confusing menus and it was so stupidly hard to navigate that mountain, but the game felt incredible to play, with fun goals and an incredible world. Plus people still play the first game and they are updating it, so I could totally see them doing another one here very soon and I could see a good one of those being very popular among the GB staff
@shagge: definitely agree on that, I feel like the biggest wildcard factor with this game is how it plays as a shooter since they’ve never made one of these before. So happy that we don’t have to wait much longer to find out!
@nutter: I totally hear you on that, I remember I discovered the Witcher series through a Witcher 2 sale on steam a couple years before 3 came out and for some reason I didn’t even think to plug in a controller and those games just became Keyboard and mouse games for me lol generally I would play 3rd person action games like that with a controller. I agree that not seeing that game through was probably why they didn’t love the story as much. I felt like skellige was the best part of that game, and I could see not seeing some of those incredible side stories on those islands might leave you to feel the games story hit its peak in velen. Plus jacking that game up to death march and actually having to read then bestiaries and making potions and oils for each specific monster fight was such a cool experience.
In hindsight, I should have phrased the question as “one of the best games of all time.” I was wrong to say THE definitively, because you guys are right. Nobody on staff really makes those sort of definitive statements like that
@nutter: I agree with you, Witcher 3 is my Game or the decade but cyberpunk has a chance to surpass it if it lives up to the hype. This question was inspired from me listening to GOTY 2015 again and had forgotten how much a lot of the staff was pretty negative on the story outside of the bloody baron storyline and hated the controls. I wonder if I’m in the minority of people who played Witcher 2 and 3 entirely with mouse and keyboard and thought the controls were great. Basically I’m expecting it to be a game with a grander scope than Witcher 3, in a FPS cyberpunk world, and if that’s the case, I don’t see how it’ll be anything short of a masterpiece. Hopefully it lives up to our hype.
