The GOTY season is coming. And Brad will be hosting it.
Way back in 2009, he died on a hill along with Ryan to have Uncharted 2 beat Batman Arkham Asylum as the GOTY, no one else agreed.
Fast forward to 2011, and he cried and whined until Skyrim was number 1, no one else but Patrick agreed.
In 2013, he single-handedly fought for DOTA 2 to go as high up the ladder as possible. No one else wanted it there, he managed to get it to the seventh spot all by himself.
In 2014, it was a fight to the bitter end for Destiny to get it's Number 10 spot.
Which game will he argue to death, tooth and nail this year?
Mario maker.
Jeff will shill mario maker.
Taken King for Best DLC if thats a category.
I'm not sure about GoTY though. There hasn't been anything exceedingly bad come out that he's shilling.
Uncharted 2 was great, and as much as I loved AA, U2 was vastly superior, even if we just consider the multiplayer.
>>320941369
based brad will get destiny on the list again
>>320942239
This.
It started out with
>That's neat, but I have zero interest whatsoever, and couldn't they just mod this shit themselves fairly easily?
>FUCKING STOP WITH MARIO MAKER
Every single piece of content had a good hour or more discussion or playing of that fucking game. Jesus fucking christ.
Mario maker will win GOTY so why even bother listening?
Mario maker will win and brad will get destiny in the top 10.
I'm interested to see where/if Splatoon will place
who /beast/ here?
>>320943124
You and your pube beard are not welcome here, Austin
>>320943308
>hating on based Austin "best taste in games" Walker
>>320943308
Don't bully Austin, he can't help it if he has shit taste in music
>no one will mention Bloodborne because Jeff found it boring
>Brad will shill Taken king
I want them to ban any Destiny talk from now on. We've had over 2 years of Destiny talk now. Brad is getting paid big time to shill that shitty game.
>people on neo-/v/ still hate austin
guy is based
>>320943124
WHAT'S REALLY GOOD
>>320943124
I physically want to stab Alex anytime he talks.
>>320943726
>anon going crazy about Austin constantly bringing up race and gender politics in the podcast
>tell him I've never heard him bring it up except once
>NUH-UH HE BRINGS IT UP ALL THE TIME
>keep on listening every week and he still doesn't push that topic in the slightest
>1 Mario Maker
>2 MGSV
>3 Rocket League
This is your top 3. Screencap this
>>320944793
could call that from a mile away.
Alex will argue MGSV down to 3 though
>>320945206
Does Alex even play video games at this point? Serious question here.
>>320945206
Dan will fight for it to be number 2. Jeff probably will too.
>>320945356
Yeah, anon, do you remember when he fought hard last year for fucking Jazzpunk to be top five last year?
He was the worst part of last years goty podcasts. Even worse than Patrick. I swear if does the same shit he pulled last year and shouts "reeeeally?!" everytime someone says something he disagrees with, I'm out.
Their collective hivemind toward witcher 3 is shit.
Jeff bringing up witcher 2 like they compare is a pathetic excuse not to play it while the rest with their 'everyone who played it LOVES it SO much' mentality is just as pathetic.
>>320943124
only vinny tbqh
rest are homo fags who sound like shit
>>320946192
Jeff is a jaded old man anon. What was his favourite game this year? What games did he bring to UPF the most? What games did he feature most on his personal features.
>Mario Maker
>Anything that works on MAME
Dude is a nostalgia clouded old man, only thing new he liked was MGSV because he likes attaching balloons to dudes.
We're talking about a dude who said he wanted more from AAA games and then immediately says CoD Advanced Warfare was one of the best games of the year.
>>320946192
I think the only person who played it extensively was Dan. But he didn't even finish it.
>>320945206
based Alex will make sure Metal Gear Disappointment isn't top 2
>>320946529
He didn't even like it. Only one who is honestly interested in it is Jason and he flat out said he just doesn't have the time to play it.
>>320946703
Dan in June
>I originally assumed that The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne wouldn't be up my alley, but they're my two favorite games of 2015 so far.
Dan in October
>Witcher 3 is so boring and unlike MGS V where i get le cool weapons xDDD and my horse does poop :D witcher 3 has nothing
He's a complete kojimadrone
>>320946676
Yeah, cause Rocket League is better than MGSV? No way. MGSV was a a disappointment, but it still played excellent, for the handful of fun missions.
Rocket League is a casual 'drive at the ball' sports game. It's overrated, more'so than MGSV
>>320946192
Witcher 2 is way better than Witcher 3, 2bh
>>320946925
I didn't say rocket league was better than MGSV
there are definitely more games than Mario Maker that are better than MGS V though
>>320941369
He's gonna argue that TTK adds so much to Destiny and makes it good, even though it was good enough to make it to the top 10 list last year apparently, that it deserves to win at least DLC of the year.
>>320943906
That's not how you spell Austin
>>320943124
>tfw beast took away papa vinny it's bullshit I can't watch any of their Quick Looks because Austin and Alex are always there and sometimes it's both Alex and Austin it's the fucking worst.
>>320947168
Austin just has a stupid lisp. Alex always sounds like a condescending douchebag asshole with no interest in video games at all. Everything he says makes me want to punch him in the face.
>>320943124
Austin might be an SJW, but he's also refreshingly weeb as fuck. The Quick Look of Yakuza 5 with him playing was actually pretty good.
>>320946192
Get over it faggot you already won your Dorito awards.
All their complaints were valid and it's pretty much the same reason I didn't finish the game.
>>320943124
AYY YO WHATS GOOD DOG??

Will the whole GOTY stuff be free?
>>320949287
Go to there website and look at the "coming up on giant bomb section on the front page." If it doesn't say "premium" next to it, it's free.
In short, yes.
>>320946513
Have you forgotten what a shit year for video games 2014 was? AW certainly was one of the better releases
And why are people still trashing Bunny for the Destiny filibuster? Yes, it's light on content, but it's mechanically the best shooter ever made, and for that, it deserved a spot
>>320949562
>destiny
>mechanically the best shooter ever made
...What?
>>320949562
>but it's mechanically the best shooter ever made
Explain
>>320941369
Friendly reminder.
>>320949675
>>320949987
The weapon feedback, the audio/visual design, the AI reactions to damage, the sense of impact
Say what you will about the rest of the game, I won't defend it, but the actual gameplay is flawless, especially when compared to the rest of 2014
>>320949562
>Bunny
Is this a meme now or is auto correct fucking everyone over?
Is this the greatest thing to ever happen during the bombcast?

Who gives a fuck about journos anymore when you can listen to youtubers like Matthewmatosis, Superbunnyhop and MrBtongue say their thing without advertising money looming over them.

I can see the rest of these sch'mos lurking to stroke their own e-penis (vagoo)
>>320951743
someone asked jeff if he posted on /v/
>no, everyone knows /b/ is the only worthwhile part of 4chan
is he right bros?
>>320951950
Probably. I would assume most of us started on /b/ and drifted to the other boards after the initial shock and awe of 4chan started to melt away.
Jeff is a lot older than most of his (he is damn near 40), so by the time 4chan started rolling his days of trolling IRCs had come and gone.
>>320952158
I didn't start on /b/ desuI started on reddit
>>320941369
>>320942385
>Which game will he argue to death, tooth and nail this year?
It's far from a bad game but Brad's already said he's planted his flag on the Ori and the Blind Forest hill and not willing to budge on it.
Also Jeff's already ruled Destiny TTK as DLC so he hasn't got that. But Brad's going to push for Ori in the top 5 at least
>>320952380
Finally the one time I'll root for Brad then
>>320952380
Ori is a pretty good game
More importantly, what willDrewpick?
>>320952540
MGSV
>>320952540
Do hiking trips count as video games?
>>320952638
Fuck you're right
I honestly forgot that came out this year
>>320952380
good, Ori is unironically great
>>320952540
mgs v by default
>>320943124
I'm actually enjoying their podcast more than GBW's.. maybe sans Mary being there, but then it would still only be tied.
>>320943308
>>320947168
>>320947236
Austin is, for example, promoting DD on PC. That's pretty based; and he got me in to Rise of Incarnates types of games.
It seems like Austin criticisms are all baseless.
Someone will have Rocket League at the top of their list
>>320952887
Austin criticisms are lazy
he's pretty based
>>320952540
MGS V unless he pulls a wild card and goes for Elite or Halo 5
Actually, Halo 5 is probably going to be the game that people get mad at them over including or scooping one of the lesser awards since Jeff and Drew really liked it.
>>320952638
>>320952784
>>320953053
But most of the times he's bitching about the menus and stupid shit they added.
>>320953053
Elite "officially" came out late last year
It's also not very good
I was extremely surprised Destiny took spot #10 last year and it was all because Brad fucking filibustered that shit.
I won't be surprised if Taken King makes it somehow
>>320953210
Jeff's already ruled it as DLC. It won't.
Jason: Bloodborne
Jeff: Mario Maker
Dan: MGS V
Brad: MGS V
Drew: Halo 5
Austin: Galak-Z or Tales from the Borderlands
Alex: I could see him going for Splatoon
Vinny: No idea desu
Overall: MGS V
CAP THIS POST
>>320953163
MGSV has a lot of dumb shit but it's also a fantastic game
>>320953381
I hope Vinny goes for Witcher 3. He is a huge fan of the series, but probably didn't finish it though.
guys I think we're gonna need to deep dive on this unboxing, it's gonna be a interesting deep cut dope piece.I'm pretty drunk right now
>>320953591
He's too busy getting a maximum of 4 tickets per play at Chuck E Cheese
>>320953625
To be fair "mechanical apartheid" is a really fucking dumb phrase.
Like if someone was a dachau survivor and came up with "mechanical holocaust" it wouldn't make it any less retarded
>>320953591
Nah, Witcher 3 is just Too Long™ which makes it a bad game because it had Too Much Content™
>>320953417
I think so too. I just don't think Drew would see past those flaws enough to give it game of the year.
Then again, I could be horribly wrong.
>>320953870
I'm a jew and I think a game called mechanical holocaust sounds rad.
>>320950128
fuck off back to gaf with your faggot rules, pleb
>>320953625
Fuck Austin
>>320953946
A game being long isn't necessarily a good thing
I thought MGSV was way too long.
If it doesn't draw you in then it's a slog going through it.
>>320954003
Well that's not the name of the game, that's just the tagline. If that was the actual name you could assume they were leaning into it instead of pulling a David Cage and bringing up slavery then being like "hey guys that's like a bad thing that happened that was super bad right?"
>>320948097
>Ugh another non-AAA shooter game.
>Ugh another game with tits in it.
>Ugh another game that isn't the most casual of casual games.
How are the other guys any better? Vinny doesn't count because he's perfect but all of the other guys besides Austin and Jason whenever he's on the podcast couldn't give less of a shit about anything that isn't AAA or VR.
>>320954321
the fact that I'm okay with the entire game being named "mechanical holocaust" speaks more than just a tag-line.
I imagine Mechanical Holocaust being an EDF-style game where you destroy huge armies of robots that break into physics pieces. Murdering endless hordes of robots with the limbs of their comrades.
>>320954476
yep, if it wasn't for Austin and Jason weeb/niche games would get almost zero coverage - Jason had to play Dragon Quest Heroes on extra life to give it some coverage.
>>320954476
Because they're almost all old fart casuals who are likely jaded and disillusioned
I want VR to die so they can stop fucking wasting an hour of every podcast shilling it.
>>320954525
That was my point. Actually naming your game that and using the phrase in the trailer are totally different
>>320954772
>one is the name of the product
>the other is a marketing slogan that most people won't see and no one will remember
are you implying that the tag-line deserves more consideration than the actual title?
I wonder if Austing has even touched Xeno X since the quick look. I assume he doesn't bring it up during podcasts since talking about it with the other GB guys is like trying to talk video games with your mom.
>>320954909
No I'm saying it says a lot about their intentions
>>320955063
He said on the chat on one of the livestreams that he was still enjoying it
>>320943124
Nobody
>>320955083
Their intentions? You mean accurately describing the the place in the Deus Ex timeline? You do know that the social dynamics implied by this tag-line have been canon since Deus Ex 1, right?
This isn't a weird PR strategy, it'd be a weird PR strategy to dumb down the tag-line for the purpose of making it PC-bro friendly.
>>320943124
I don't mind Alex as much as other people do, I like Austin, and Vinny is still the best part of Giant Bomb...so me I guess. They're also more likely to do Quick Looks of weirder shit too.
>>320953182
Drew seemed to like it a lot but Drew gonna Drew. Probably going to be a pick for the "2015's best 2014 game" though.
>>320953381
Brad might go for Rise Of The Tomb Raider since he really seemed to like it and they all went a bit cold on MGS V down the line. Mario Maker or Witcher 3 is probably the most likely game to win it overall.
>>320955548
>Witcher 3 is probably the most likely game to win it overall.
literally 0 chance
none of them finished it
>>320947605
Ugh
Millenials
>>320955706
what are you, 40?
>>320953381
>Austin: Galak-Z or Tales from the Borderlands
But he didn't even play Tales from the Borderlands past the first episode.
>>320955841
I thought he said he was going to play more or something
maybe not
All the shit-talking they did over Witcher 3 makes me kind of nervous to start it
>>320951743
Jeff said that he has gone on 4chan to get 'raw' opinions in the past
Likely in a pre-rebbit qorld
>>320955989
it's really good
>>320956014
but does it stay good?
>>320955989
People have overhyped it too much.
it's alright.
better combat than Skyrim but longer dialogues and less character customization.
it's a REALLY good game for what it is, but you have to be into ARPGs

Predictions for top 10:
1. MGSV
>Literally all of them thought it was super good despite their problems wit hthe story, and later the microtransactions
2. Rocket League
>They all really liked it and spent most of the Summer podcasts talking about it every week
3. Mario Maker
>Jeff and Dan fucking adored it and their combined might is enough to drag it up
4. Splatoon
>Pretty much all of them quite liked it, and its 'fresh' enough to get bonus points for originality alone with their jaded asses
5. Halo 5
> Jeff and Drew will push for it fairly hard based on it being the best multiplayer FPS this year from their perspective
6. Rise of the Tomb Raider
>The reception for it among the crew was very positive and I have a gut feeling Jeff will have come around to it more since a few weeks back when he was the only one not keen on it, which will push it fairly high
7. Fallout 4
>None of them disliked it and most thought it was decent, but it'll only be put above the rest because more of the crew played it - though it and Bloodborne may swap positions depending on Brad's mood
8 Bloodborne
>Brad is probably its biggest fan but some of the others thought it was quite good too, I can't see it not making the list
9. Until Dawn
>East crew will fight for it, I can feel it in my bones
10. Ori and the Blind Forest
>Brad will force the others into submission like he did for Destiny and Dota 2 and get it on the list, he's already promised to filibuster for it if needs be
Undertale, Axiom Verge, Galak-Z MKX, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Xenoblade X, and possibly Mon Hun IV will
also have strong cases made for them by individual crew members, but I doubt any will garner enough support to make the final list.
The Witcher 3 will be entirely snubbed since none of them liked it enough to even get to Act 3
>>320956369
Brad is hardly the only one who likes Ori, I'm guessing it'll get top 5
