GAME OF THE YEAR 2016
We all hope you all had a great Christmas/holiday season. Anyway, what were we playing over this year? You might have noticed that in the past a mod can't choose between two titles for GOTY... and this year it happenned to
dannflor-316 . So, from this year, we will be giving out our choice for honorable mention. Sort of a; "We Recommend" title.
DARK SOULS 3
"I CHUFFING LOVE DARK SOULS!! So, expect this choice as the result of me being a fan... mostly. I loved the first Dark Souls on the 360, however I didn't really get into Dark Souls 2 all that much. If you aren't familiar with Dark Souls, it's a series of games based around the "dark fantasy" genre and is infamous for having a difficulty curve like slamming into a brick wall. Believe me, I never knew I had to research so much information for ONE GAME. I learned how to block and when to drop my shield, learned how to parry and when to dodge roll. When you put in the effort, you so reap the rewards! It was nice seeing a couple of familiar locations from the first Dark Souls, like Firelink Shrine and Kiln of the First Flame. A nice couple of shout-outs to the original Dark Souls game, they kept that improved "back-stabbing" mechanic from the second game and finally, it was Dark Souls! What does let it down are lag problems, difficulty can easily put off new players and not much variety in visuals (e.g. same looking environments). THE WINS ARE SO WORTH IT!"
Honorable Mention: PVZ GARDEN WARFARE 2
"I chose the original Plants V Zombies Garden Warfare for my GOTY back in 2014. I'm so happy to report that the fun, colour and variety has returned for the second GW and it's as dazzling as the original. Don't let the light tone pout you off and I don't care it's published by E.A."
ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED
"This year I enjoyed playing Ark Survival Evolved the most. Taming dinosaurs that have a wide range of uses, plus also playing with friends makes it easy to lose track of time. Recently they made it easier to farm for materials and reduced tame times. I play on an official server with some friends and the only down side to playing online would be dealing with assholes in the game. On that note it's also not a perfect game and it has its bugs, but it always has me coming back to play."
Honorable Mention: WARFRAME
"My honorable mention would have to be Warframe, free to play and it's a game that the more you play the better stuff you can get."
