Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Thread: Skyrim? Skyrim? Skyrim? Skyrim? Skylanders!

Jeff's space pharaoh blows the water out of everyone so far.
His passion was palpable. I've really loved all of them, though.
(well, except maybe Alex, but Vinny had enough on his plate)

Vinny's List:
I was a little disappointed
W2
wasn't higher on vinny's list, and I was shocked
DS
was as low as it was. Still, good list from everyone today.

Loved that the two guests both chose the same number 1, haha. Great to see it was Eric Wolpaw contributing, too!


Did someone say "gifs?"

Wow, can't believe MGS HD got snubbed. Despite the small technical issues the PS3 version has I think it's worth at least a mention. Apparently they didn't just forget about it, either:

I guess no one actually played it outside of the quick look Patrick and Jeff did. It's a shame, the overall package nears 100 hours worth of game.

What's wrong with the PS3 version? I'm only going to get PW, is it okay?
 
Its not called the best indie game its called downloadable. Thats the problem.

A problem for fucking who? This is 4 guys sitting around talking about their favourite videogames for our entertainment.

It never ceases to amaze me how invested people seem to get in this shit.

The best thing about the GB crew is that they simply don't give a fuck about fanboy backlash. Their response to the outrage over GOW3 being excluded from the best graphics discussion last year boiled down to "its our opinion, get over it".
 
CAGcast has consistently been one of the best independent gaming podcast for at least a few years now. I know plenty of people from gaf listen as I recognize names like Lik in the e-mails sections.

Okay, okay it's not a no name site. I just did a google and saw his name linked with a site I never heard of.
 
Well you actually wrote it with hyphens behind the greater than signs (which make them look like arrows), so I didn't know whether you liked Brad best or Vinny best.

More like 70 hours of cutscene, 30 hours of game

HIYOOOOO
 
Peace Walker HD is fine, it's MGS2 & 3 that have some issues. It's only small stuff, really. Graphical glitches, effects missing, etc. You can see them here (website is in French but you'll get the gist of it.)

Thanks for the response, I hadn't really paid any attention to the release because in Europe it's not out for a couple of months still.
 
I laughed at Vinny the most so he wins all.

Nothing wrong with that. But I always feel like people are forcing opinions about personalities to other people in this thread. It is weird because Giantbomb has a great group of people and everyone should be allowed to like one of them and also talk about it without getting bombared with "you are wrong" respones.

You know I only mentioned it because I love their podcast. A lot of the XBLA points exploits as well as "Bomba" price threads also come directly from Cheap Ass Gamer so indirectly I think his website plays a big part in many communities.
 
Do you guys think Vinny actually has tiny tattoos on his arms? If so, I can't decide if that makes me like him more or less.

Well... definitely not more. That's not possible.

Was it the first BLLSL that ended and people saw Vinny smoking? I remember people throwing a fit regarding him smoking, and how they "lost respect" for him over it. Wonder if tattoos would do the same.
 
Jeff's jadedness is great. Actually he's on top form when he's being really dry and talking about the industry I think, he sounds like someone who's been beaten down by it and still built something he's very proud of on the back of it. That's not to say I don't like the tomfoolery though.
 
People were really surprised that Vinny had SR3 at the top? After what he said on the bombcast a couple weeks back about it and how he never got around to Skyrim because he just had to keep playing Saints Row, I was convinced it shot to the top of his list.
