i think Destiny will be on the list, but it wont win, Brad seems to really really like it. and Patrick said he was enjoying it as well,

I dont think titanfall will be on the list as Jeff liked it.

If Far Cry 4 isnt a great game that will easily trump everything for the staff, if not, then Watch Dogs will win this category (i enjoyed watch dogs, but everyone seemed really bummed by that game)

i remember Jeff said on a podcast that Watch Dogs looks fucking awesome.

to me Jeff barely uses those words when describing a game.

this.

the world is interesting, but i hate how the story is delivered in this game, its such a mess.

im interested in the world of destiny, but like the "plot" of this first game, so far (im on venus) is a mess. and thats shocking and disappointing to me since the halo series had some of the best stories in a fps imo.

Still enjoying the game though, but i fully expect the reviews to slaughter the game, aand i hope bungie takes on some of the criticism and addresses it for the first expansion.

ill may very well join you in saying that, but ill wait till i get my copy and play through it.

id say keep playing folks, based off the 14 hour gamespot livestream, initially all those guys seemed very meh on the game, but at the end of the stream, they said it grew on them.

will say though, its a bummer to hear the story is basically told super slowly,

i think ill add Gearbox,

and Insomniac

talking to Jeff after the GB panel, according to him, Companies find PAX South to be real weird in terms of timing and how that coincides with their "Marketing plan", so i can see what your saying of this first Pax Small being small.

(oh and it was cool chatting with you for a brief bit after the panel btw, that PAX guide you made was genius and helped a ton)

true, if south gets to eventually be as awesome as east and prime, i would consider all 3 as well.

as for my time at prime, yea everything was totally fresh and new to me, id say the majority of my time was down in the expo hall seeing games, and catching panels and then talking to folks in and out of lines, (caught the Volition panel, they showed off exclusive footage of a musical number for that saints row expansion, caught the Hunger games, the Royal Rumble, and the GB panel, the Maestros of Gaming panel, and caught a bit of the Sakaguchi Panel as well)

Actually thought the spectacle of that expo hall was awesome, as a fresh-faced newbie, it felt like i was at a public E3 :P , so i tried to see as much as possible :P , managed to see a good mixture of AAA and indie stuff between the 4 days, (Evolve, Guilty Gear XRD, The Order 1886, Bloodborne, Nidhogg, Apotheon, Nuclear Throne, Axiom Verge, Superhot, Gang Beasts)

Folks in the lines were also super friendly as well, id say about 80-90% of my time in lines for games was spent talking to people, didn't need to pull out the handheld for much of pax to kill time, listened in on a conversation, chimed in at the right moment, and then was part of the conversation in the line.

The "feel-good" aspect of PAX that everyone talks about definitely lived up to the hype, as your just really surrounded by like-minded people, and then some of your favorite internet/videogame icons are just straight walking the halls live everyone else and are just down to chat.
