Where were you? People have been talking up Mordor basically since release.

What, SoM has gotten a ton of hype from everyone who has played and reviewed it. No one expected the game to be quite good and the nemesis system is arguably the most "next-gen" thing we've seen all year and really changes up the dynamics of that open world.
yeah, it really is, that's what bothers me way more than destiny winning.
I've never played Luftrausers (even though got it from ps+) any idea if a PS4 port is coming for it?

There were like five Mordor hype threads, there had to be a rule against hype threads made because of the game
GB themselves talked about it almost every week, especially Dan
It's had two separate quicklooks and a GBE Playdate

To be fair, their developers disrespected the buying public first.
People take DriveClub way too fucking seriously.

Driveclub would probably be a lot less annoying to hear about if fans would just keep it in their fucking pants for like one day
If Ground Zeroes is any indication, I bet it'll be up there, both on its own merits and through some determination by Dan.
I was surprised when Jeff described Ground Zeroes as "sort of okay". I thought it played incredibly well. Basically a two hour demo for sure, but mechanically it's pretty strong.
I would love a PS4 port. I've enjoyed Vlambeer's past games a lot and this looks pretty fun.

This is a pretty comical thing to say.

Driveclub is the worst game I never played and everyone who likes it is a doodyhead.
Driveclub is the new Sonic.

Have you seen any of the Driveclub weather effects/weather sound effects (TWO DIFFERENT THREADS) posts?

MK8, FH2 and Drivecult are a lot better then any other racer I can think of from the last couple years.
edit: except for Sonic Transformed, which has a pretty strong fanbase here
Holy shit lol. This is fantastic
Lmao. Griffin <3
There are more:

And The Crew is barely in the top 3 of most broken games of 2014.

There were two people that were arguing for it, and even Jeff, the biggest opponent to the game, admitted something along the lines of "I liked it more than the other things we are leaving off".

I was halfway through the best game stuff when I had already written up a part praising Brad and the others for doing the right thing and not putting destiny in the top 10 because it was a personal favourite of one editor (but not even his goty!).
Then that happened. Maybe they'd be happier with a rule that everyone is allowed to name one game that will appear on the list no matter what, without all the fuss.

Yep, Patrick fought valiantly for it's cause....but it was a lone fight. It was actually Patrick's stream series of the original BoI which got me back into it. That game never really clicked for me until I watched someone else better than me play the game
Now I watch Northernlion's streams...that guy is just insane, but the amount of time he has put into it, you'd expect that.

In fairness most cross-platform racers are 30fps in just normal single-player and that's garbage.
Yeah it was probably an unfair assessment by me to be honest.
The giantbomb disrespecting driveclub thing has just gotten so silly.

I'm bummed Vinny hasn't been podcasting for some of the year. I enjoy his point of view on things - great to have him back for these podcasts.
Also, I am legitimately shocked (don't read if you don't want one of the top ten spoiled)
. I absolutely did not think that would happen.
Great podcasts all around. I wish Jason piped in more than he does. And the podcast finally convinced me to buy Divinity while it's still on sale. Looking forward to it.

Brad managed to get Destiny onto the top ten

Just got done listening to the final podcast, I'd think that after all the zany games they champion and how outside the box they typically are, there would be no way they would pick Mordor for game of the year. That game had zero personality and I played it to completion and left behind only one trophy.
I love the crew they have there, but man are they falling into a trap of sticking with AAA western games as their champion game. It's sad that I now think IGNs editors now speak more freely about obscure games being the better games in the market.

Just finished the heated Destiny section...lol for a while it sounded like they were having an intervention with Brad, especially when Vinny popped in with his calm, soothing questions. All in all I can't say I'm mad about it's inclusion. I mean, there are other games that made the list because of one or two people that the rest of the panel were largely indifferent to like JazzPunk or Mario Kart so Destiny for Brad probably fits that same bill.
Thank you Bomb Crew for another year of fantastic content.
I can't disagree more with your GoTY choice but hey it's your list not mine. The top ten as a whole is pretty close to mine but I'd have a couple more Nintendo games.
These end of year podcasts have become a Christmas tradition for me - I stick them on usually while playing some open world Ubi nonsense - FC4 this year.
Next premium sale I'm jumping on board.

It's mainly Jeff not liking it. They hardly talk about it much, imo
My PS+ subscription would argue that it still doesn't work.
No way, José.
Then we wouldn't have a Thread Title to chuckle over for years to come. Talk about an ominous premonition that wound up being 100% on the nose, judging from the past 20 pages.

The online didn't work for that period of time. The single player never stopped working. Not to mention that the developer has addressed the issues, improved the gameplay/balancing/IQ, released free content, cars, and new features such as weather that drastically change the game.
But yeah, I guess it doesn't deserve anything right?
What does this even mean?
And it'll would have been nice to do all of that work before releasing a game.

I mean
If no one choosing the awards actually liked it, I don't think there's much of an argument that it deserves anything
Maybe community votes will do better?
