One of My favorite shows is your GOTY episode going back and listening to all of them has been a treat thank you ❤❤❤❤
One of my favorite episode of the year! Thank you sooo soo much!
Best Game of the Year show out there. Thanks you guys. Love it every year!
Amazing job, guys. I always look forward to the big E3 and GotY shows, such a blast getting to hear what you three enjoyed. The production was so smooth this year too. Wishing you all a great 2022!
It feels like christmas, everytime : ) Thank you very much guys!
Great graphics this year,
but the "Community Votes" card from Zeke was the cherry on top.
Thanks for Dropped Frames guys!
My eye twitched at the doctor part 😂
Could not be more excited than to see this pop up!!!
That moment where you feel out of the loop on a joke/point and a random cow image is embedded at 0:33.
Yeah, the Magic Legends one hurt. It had a decent idea behind it, but for some reason wanted to have as little to do with Magic as possible - i.e. not using the massive library of awesome art assets, spell names and general feel that Magic has built in. I liked the game, even, but I can see, why it went nowhere fast.
Still waiting for Magic Arena on consoles
love your intro.. thankyou for the content! so Excited :D
Welcome to the Final Fantasy 14 awards of 2021!
If you're looking for a VR game, Vertical Shift is apparently a ton of fun
i love these guys
Loop hero had such a great soundtrack too
Good show.
I now want to go watch Zeke play bassmaster fishing.
I'm shocked the community didn't pick Lady D for character.
1:44:35 That's a very creative way to think about the category, and also a good addition from Zeke.
Thanks for another fun year of Dropped Frames!
Every step we take echos in the wake! For tomorrow's sake forge ahead!
Damn 2021 really was super dry
Could be a sunday thing. Less internet traffic
I love Cohhcaine too
Given not even a single person mentioned it during the show, I'd also like to give a shoutout to Hitman 3. Granted I'm a sucker for the series, and whilst it might not have been the best, I still think it was a brilliant entry in the series, but I can see why most people either skipped it, or weren't too fussed about it.
The amount of love from JP for GGST warms the cockles of my heart. fgc
Cohh is so high regarding the starfield take. Every bethesda game has been bug ridden, and fallout 76 is still fresh in my mind, being the lastest big release from them.
but what if, though?
And generally the guy who talks about managing expectations the most.
Fallout 4, being the main studio's last release, was relatively solid on launch. Think the consoles had some problems, but that was resource related rather than bugs.
surprised ratchet and clank did not make it into cohhs list
Where did the idea of multiplayer meaning more than 2 players come from? It's always been for anything with more than 1 player. There's been plenty of amazing co-op games, fighting games and more throughout the years have had 2 players max and they've always been called multiplayer. We have used terms like Multiplayer versus and multiplayer co-op though to differentiate between the 2 different styles of multiplayer.
Is this number 299 or 298? Did not count the game awards with Jeff as one or was it special?
I am sad below zero didn't get to any list...
damn no one played ender lillies?
So americans see their doctor every year? Sounds both expensive and comforting
My GOTY was Endwalker
Surprised Hitman 3 is no where on anyone's list
JP and chat giving Returnal best sound design.
*YES*
Honestly feel like I’ve also been the only person championing that soundtrack. What a hero. Absolutely loved Hyperion and that whole build up scaling the tower.
1:50:14 Final Fantasy 14 would actually make sense for Redemption of the Year, not that it wasn't redeemed already, but going from a game so bad they had to apologize and remake it to now have overtaken WOW as the go to MMO, if people could buy it, is quite a redemption arc.
ye thats absolutely true
As a Titanfall fan it saddens me when people say Halo Infinite has the best grapple mechanics.
I played Titanfall ,Apex legends for thousands of hours and Halo Infinite for about 50 and Halo is definitely better grappling.
Feed the algorithm
I would like to change my “industry fail” vote to SMT V being snubbed by the Dropped Frames community, thanks
Lol that's a good pick. JP even played the game on stream but he didn't even talk about it. Which sucks, because Cohh might like it.
Surprised the endwalker wasn't on cohh's list. I understand its an expansion etc etc, but its an incredible standalone game.in its own right. In fact id put it ahead of almost all, if not all the standalone rpg's out this year. 40+ hours just for the main scenario. More content than a fully stand alone game.
The rules for them are only full 1.0 releases, no early access, no AddOns/DLCs. JP always breaks the rules with FF XIV because it is their show anyway, so who cares. But Cohh is really strict with that in his lists.
Furthermore, I would completely disagree with it being a standalone game. If you only play Endwalker, the main story would completely go over your head. It only works because of the 250+ hours before that build up to this finale.
I think that 100 million for the victims of their bs harassment is actually way too low. They make that kind of money in not even a month I'm sure...
Ill say it, if New World was your game of the year every opinion you have about anything gaming is irrelevant.
Kind of sad to not see Monster Hunter Rise mentioned in any way. And even more sad that Cohh is thinking about completely skipping it too, because he says in another stream "It looks like a switch game." Coming from the dude that played Astral Chain and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, I'm very confused by that comment. I would have assumed that Cohh and JP playing through Monster Hunter World was proof enough that the gameplay and gameplay loop is what is so enjoyable about the series.
But whatever...MH: Rise is definitely in my top 5 this year and I cant wait to play through it all over again on PC in 10 days, and I absolutely can't wait for the Sunbreak expansion.
Cohh was also very hesitant about both Astral Chain and Fire Emblem: Three Houses if I recall. It is just not his style, but gameplay can win him over, so I agree it is kind of weird with Rise.
@@Elidan1012 Yeah that's my point...it's weird. Now that I recall, he made that comment about Rise in his game awards recap video.
Saying it "looks like a Switch game" can mean 2 things. That it looks bad graphically, which I dont think Cohh is that shallow minded when it comes to judging games, so I dont think it's that.
Or he means that the game itself is lacking.
But that doesnt make sense either because he's played World, and the Rise demo. He knows what to expect. It's all in the gameplay.
Too bad. Was excited to see him play it and sunbreak.
Yeah Cohh can be weird with his reasons for not playing games, I've noticed. Like, ok you think it looks bad? Just play it on your high end pc, you'll be fine. It wasn't like Valheim or Loop hero looked high end either, but gameplay won him over there (I know they're both indie games, and I don't have a problem with how they look). He's played World, he knows MH is fun.
@@LordlyWeeb It probably boils down to that there's something about Rise that doesnt give him the urge to want to play it, but he doesnt know why, because he hasnt given it much thought.
Saying that it looked like a switch game was probably something that popped into his head, and he just went with it because he honestly doesnt care to spend time pondering over the real reason.
@@lilfuzzballa As a huge monster hunter fan it surprised me that jp did not even mention the game, considering the fact that he proclaimed rise to be better than world and had world ranked 2nd in his favorite games of 2018..monster hunter's gameplay for me is 2nd only to sekiro.
They're all fine games, but to me the only stand out this year was Returnal. It was pretty special. And maybe Loop Hero. The rest is kinda generic, been done before many times.
Everything's been done before. All that matters is the execution.
This community voting is worse than the game awards
I'm glad tales of arise made it on the list. ngl, the amount of endwalker sickened me to no end, but that's largely due to my personal dislike of the game, not because it's bad, or didn't deserve it. by all accounts, it's an amazing xpac. But as someone who went into ff14 wanting an mmo, and 200 hours later, still looking for anything resembling an mmo, I dropped the game mid stormblood. That would be my most disappointing moment of the year. FF14 as a whole.
I don't really understand what you mean. The story is a big focus, yeah. But you're still talking to and interacting with people, and doing dungeons and raids with them. Sounds like an MMO to me
I mean in the middle of stormblood you have two raid series and bunch of "MMO" experiences you can do. If you only want to do current endgame stuff you have to boost like any other MMO.
What's not MMO about the game to you?
persona. god of war. pathfinder. there are no other S games
If you think that they are the only S tier games then you have an extremely limited viewpoint or purposefully write off games not in your wheelhouse.
Off the top of my head: Bloodborne/Hades/MGS2 and 3/SMB3/TH:PS 2 and 3/Super Mario Galaxy/Castlevania SOTN and AOS. All of those are critically S tier games.
@@OfficialCrowMauler I will throw in Sekiro, Monster hunter world iceborne, witcher 3 as well.
Pathfinder is NOWHERE close even to AA game
FF14 weebs taking it home for most annoying borg collective fanbase
Yeah, how dare they like that good game. So terrible.
