What are your 2016 GOTY contenders?
Re: What are your 2016 GOTY contenders?
I haven't really played much this year outside of new releases
. Would definately have to say it's a toss up between Doom(2016) and Titan Fall 2 though. Doom probably takes the cake for single player but TF2 is definitely the best multiplayer I've sunk time into this year.

My brother bought Titanfall 2, and he said it was awesome. I plan on giving it a go after I finish the rest of the content in Rise of the Tomb Raider. (I've already hit 100%, just gotta do the Croft Manor stuff and one of the DLC missions that isn't integrated in the campaign.

I'll probably be working on Rise of the Tomb Raider for another week. I'm only at like 32%, but I'm going way more completionist than usual with this game.Sarge wrote:My brother bought Titanfall 2, and he said it was awesome.

It really is worth it. Maybe not from a rewards standpoint, but the game is good enough that I find it rewarding just to poke around. My only gripe is that the challenges can really be a pain at times. The others are a bit easier, since you can find the Explorer's Satchels / Maps / Monoliths that reveal item locations.ElkinFencer10 wrote:I'll probably be working on Rise of the Tomb Raider for another week.

By the way, the double/triple/headshot skill line for the bows is awesome. Automatic triple headshots? Yes, please.

I've been using the gold bolt action rifle for the most part since it has a silencer now. Yeah, if I don't 100% the game, the challenges will be what I skip (and skipping those is still a big "if" right now; it will depend largely on how I feel after finishing everything else).Sarge wrote:It really is worth it.

Yeah, the bolt-action rifle is excellent as well. I used it when I needed more punch.

My philosophy is almost always "go big or go home," so I always use the bolt action rifle and the revolver for my pistol.Sarge wrote:Yeah, the bolt-action rifle is excellent as well. I used it when I needed more punch.

updating this a bit...
Any glaring omissions? Things you think I should play that released this year and can realistically be folded in to the last few weeks that would be a reasonable contender for your top three?
