Mass Effect 3 + DLC will win then.

Jeff has spent an entire year for this moment. There's no way he will let history repeat itself!
Don't be afraid. Embrace it!

Is there any site that put so much effort in GOTY?
A list of games from editors I don't know does nothing for me.
Maybe this is why I actually care about this.

Hmmm I think X-com will be thier GOTY. The Walking dead has a really good chance though. Also, Sleepy Dogs will be Vinny's #1

I would be surprisingly okay with this
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Brad is..most likely going to ruin everything. Minerva's Den..Skyrim..UGHHHH..
Journey. Controversy!
The Crimson Kid
what are you waiting for
My guesses for the overall Top 10:
1. Mark of the Ninja
2. Walking Dead
3. X-COM
4. Far Cry 3
5. Forza Horizon
6. Fez
7. FTL
8. Trials Evolution
9. FTL
10. Sleeping Dogs
Potential Spoiler: Asura's Wrath
The order really could swing any number of ways depending on how those discussions turned out, but I've heard legit gripes about 2,3,and 4 from multiple members of the GB crew, and I've heard nothing of the sort on Mark of the Ninja. Brad gave it 5 stars, Vinny beat it in a marathon session and adored it, and Patrick gushes over it because it "fixes" all the "problems" stealth games have. Up against that, Ryan and Jeff would have to fight it quite a bit to keep it out of the top spot.

Ryan loves it as well. I don't recall Jeff expressing feelings on it though.

No way in hell it wins GOTY. it won't even be in the running.
Minerva's Den is still no better than the regular game.

It's the perfect compromise game. Ryan and Brad can't hate it and Vinny and Jeff love it even if they haven't played it!

I have a sinking feeling Spelunky won't be in any of their top 10s.
I think Alex already revealed on Twitter that it didn't make his 10. He made it seem like a tough choice at least.

Dark Souls PC taking goty.
Surely they played a better game this year no? Like...any other AAA game?

My guess: Walking Dead for winner, ME3 grudgingly in the top ten.
If Vinny or Ryan don't bring up Haytham, I'll be slightly disappointed.
Maybe you could list some of them.
Be more specific? From AAA games I think only X-COM (if that counts as AAA) is objectively better. Walking Dead as well but that's not really AAA either.
Dishonored didn't deliver like it could have, Assassin's Creed 3 seemed pretty weak, Borderlands and Halo were both the same game as before. Max Payne 3 is divisive and not everyone loves it. I would add Mass Effect 3 to this list but I know you too well.
I think Far Cry 3 was flawed but none of the AAA games this year were perfect imo.
Actually I guess the below is right and Sleepy Dogs is better.

Do people NOT like when Brad ruins everything? That shit is hilarious.
Brad didn't like Mass Effect 3 that much. He felt like it was "EA'd" to death, although the highs were as high as Mass Effect 2. I don't understand this reoccurring prediction.
If anything, it might just be Diablo 3. Think about it. Everyone was either really liking it, or really liking it.
Not to mention Jeff is super opposed to that and he has an ally in Patrick.

Team Brad sends their regards.
People are still just bitter that their pwecious goofball Saints Row game didn't get GOTY in the one gaming outlet that it had the chance to, and they blame Brad about it because all he did was stand his ground on his opinion, just like Jeff did.
And Brad is the wrong person to blame for that outcome. Here's a hint: It's the guy who gushed about Saints Row: The Third nonstop, and then at the last second decided to side with a game he still has yet to play and discuss.
This is all in good fun, don't take it seriously, I still love Brad.
That and Skyrim is a bad game. I had to shoot it full of mods before it was remotely palatable.

XCom v Walking Dead
Jeff will put his foot down this year and XCom will take it.

It sure as shit deserves it.
Are there Northies this year? I don't think I heard him in that many games. Only Spec-Ops and P4G come to mind.
