Giant Bomb GOTY 2014 - Destiny Has Brought Us Here

I love Jeff's sanity regarding HD remasters and re-releases in general. This is a man that looks at the big picture.

Keep fighting the good fight, Jeff.

Even though I have bought both GTAV and TLoU remasters. I really love his attitude on HD rereleases. I'm part of the problem.
 
I don't understand how Advanced Warfare was so up there in the visuals category.

Jeff liked it a lot and it was a slow year in general.

I think its a pretty good game but the co op is lacking and they are still insisting on the stupid built in 100ms of lag for everyone in multiplayer. The multiplayer is a total joke and has no consistcy with skill. A total toss up slot machine now.

My Christmas present will be hearing Brad concede to Jeff that Destiny is the biggest disappointment of the year after 35 mins+ of him trying to keep it off the top 3.

I had a big cheesy smile on my face when Guilty Gear was brought up for Visuals of the Year. I was chuckling like a 2 year old when it won, just absolutely grinning ear to ear.

Valiant Hearts, Sunset Overdrive, Dangonrompa 2. These are what I need to finish

I feel like Dangonrompa should be safe unless Patrick pushes for some best moment, though I can't see him pushing it with the rest of the crew.

I know Valiant Hearts is in danger so this needs to be finished.

Sunset Overdrive will just ruin some jokes I guess.

...oh man. Danganronpa 2 really does have some "best moment" moments in it...as does the first game.

Still, I will eat a hotdog with only ketchup if the title "Danganronpa" gets mentioned at all in any of the deliberations. Patrick is my only hope for that, and he might not even try.

Still loving the GOTY content, it's fantastic, Giant Bomb does my favourite work and Alex nails it in today's video. Awesome stuff. Here are some opinions I had during the deliberations:

- I was so happy that P.T. made the Best Surprise list and that it's also high on Patrick's personal list. I consider P.T. a legit game that is separate from Silent Hills.

- I think #Driveclub should have been talked about for Best Looking. (And Sunshine Overdrive got robbed!)

- Spelunky should have been a runner up for Old GOTY!

- I'm glad that Velvet Sundown got it's due, but I hope it's not discussed ad nauseam.

- Jason was a great voice for today's deliberations.

But regardless of the outcome, the whole thing is fun. The differing perspectives is really fun.

I'm sorry but D4 looks boring as fuck.

The recap video started at such a high and then came to a screeching halt when they showed off that game.

No idea why this pick was so controversial for them...Alex acting like it was some kind of heresy

So do we think Brad cut a secret deal with Jeff to get Destiny in the top 3 of best looking? Jeff's advocacy for Destiny near the end here really seems to have come from nowhere.
 
P.T. should have won the Best Surprise category. While it is true that every South Park game up to this point has been atrocious, this one was made by Obsidian, who has a pretty fucking stellar résumé. There was no doubt that the game was going to be, at the very least, "okay".

Unfortunately the GB guys have the wrong opinion of Obsidian.
 
Haven't listened to the first episode yet so I'm trying to avoid spoilers. Does anyone know if episodes 2 and 3 are going up over the weekend, or do we have to wait until Monday?

When is the last time Koji Pro made a bad game?

I'm in the middle of playing Captain toad, and I can already confirm it is the best looking game of the year for me. Can't believe they dismissed it so quickly :(

Brad and Jeff are going to be unstoppable. No one is going to argue with them.

I looking forward to the Kratos Vs. Zeus battle.

Added a banner for 'Articles' (basically the written recaps of each day). Also, the main banner now links to their GOTY hub.

Better not to think too hard about what transpired during the Best Looking Game category. :p

Haha Brad is only impressed by GTAV because he didn't actually play it till this year

Big picture man

Yeah I agree that GTA5 on current gen is fucking impressive but there is nowhere near as much "added stuff" as Brad think there is.

The first person view and all the included DLC is pretty much the only "new" stuff on the re-release. The 360/PS3 was already pretty fucking impressive (except for the resolution).
