[SinCityAssassin]

I certainly hope he chose the wii u version lol.

Daniel Bloodworth: Mighty Number 9

Daniel Bloodworth: Mighty Number 9

 

[privitsan02]

Incoming hilarity.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Spoiler

Just getting the shitposts out of the way for us. Was a good list. Would have liked to see some recognition for a few smaller titles, but the personal picks did a good job covering that.

 

[DMONKUMA]

I won't comment about Last Guardian since I've haven't played it, but it seems like a majority of them liked it. Must be an alright game then.

 

[abrack08]

He didn't pick Mighty No. 9, OP is trolling. Blood picked The Last Guardian as his GotY (he reviewed it for them and gave it 5 stars).

 

[Prompto]

Bloodworth picked Last Guardian OP. I don't think anyone even mentioned Mighty Number 9 lol

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I don't know why the OP says blood picked might number 9. He picked The Last Guardian

 

[KZXcellent]

I'm actually really interested in the reasoning behind Bloodworth's pick. Hope they dive into it in the video.

Edit: I guess it wasn't MN9?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I didn't even notice it, but putting a troll joke in the OP was dumb as shit.

 

[Acquiescence]

The love fest for The Last Guardian only reinforces my respect for the Allies. They did good.

That Bloodworth pick is a joke though, right?!

 

[Jawbreaker]

:lol @ that Bloodworth troll. Come on.

The Last Guardian deserves this one. It's my game of the year, too.

 

[brb]

Blood didn't pick MN.9.

OP derailed their own thread.

 

[LycanXIII]

OP posted the thread way too early. They had several more categories besides GotY and the video was produced very well. Now the thread's going to be about MN9 instead.

 

[Ray Down]

What a way to fuck the OP, burn it down.

 

[Don.Abbade]

Daniel Bloodworth: Mighty Number 9

 

[Tankard]

Why try to divert the attention of the thread with something that never happened like the Bloodworth pick? There is even no context for that.

Man....

Edit: Edited now.

Nice to see The Last Guardian winning though.

 

[Marakh101]

A bunch of dudes that probably grew up playing the exact same games I did.

Thank God for that youtube channel. Much need when you see people with horrid tastes like Greg Miller out there.

 

[GamingOblivion]

op not only did you fuck up your own thread you posted this way too early. their stream isn't even over yet and they video won't be posted for a while.

[wiibomb]

This was pretty rushed. You should have waited for everything to finish, the video shoudl be up in some more time

No one ever mentioned Mighty No. 9

 

[Traumnovelle]

They made a good choice that I sadly feel won't be picked by many other outlets.

Best Monster Hunter of the year was pretty contentious, no idea how they picked Generations.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Best Monster Hunter of the year was pretty contentious, no idea how they picked Generations.

Ben probably fought for that one. My fav too tho

 

[K.Sabot]

eeeeeh best soundtrack being ffxv?

World of Final Fantasy is better than that. My OST of the year is probably Fire Emblem Fates followed by SMTIV Apocalypse, but music is super subjective I guess.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Your missing the best category.
Best preorder bonus/incentive.

Yea I'm adding them in as I remember. This was all off the top of my head

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Best Monster Hunter of the year was pretty contentious, no idea how they picked Generations.

Dark forgot that the category was called best Monster Hunter released in the US for 2016.

 

[KZXcellent]

I guess the only way to one-up this thread is to make a thread for their 2017 E3 Bets.

In February.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Dark forgot that the category was called best Monster Hunter released in the US for 2016.

Good point. I'll update it. Like I said this is all from memory

 

[Acquiescence]

Best Remaster/Remake: Gravity Rush

Indeed. Bluepoint did a flawless job and made an already exemplary game even better.

 

[Rainy]

Pretty sure Jones said his GOTY was UC4, as did Huber (?) right.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Good point. I'll update it. Like I said this is all from memory

Yeah no problem this all happened because Op jumped the gun and didn't wait till the vod and the video were put up.

 

[Moon Presence]

Great list. The best pre-order incentive nominees were hilarious.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Pretty sure Jones said his GOTY was UC4.

Once finally got around to finishing it....6 months later. I love how Jones pick for GOTY never seems to win.

Witcher 3 lost, Uncharted 4 lost, GTA V lost. Maybe he won with Hearthstone

 

[Moon Presence]

Pretty sure Jones said his GOTY was UC4, as did Huber (?) right.

Yes.

 

[abrack08]

Dark forgot that the category was called best Monster Hunter released in the US for 2016.

I was joking, it's their game of the year awards so it's implied every award was only for games released this year.

 

[Ray Down]

Once finally got around to finishing it....6 months later. I love how Jones pick for GOTY never seems to win.

Witcher 3 lost, Uncharted 4 lost, GTA V lost. Maybe he won with Hearthstone

He was a big support for Hearthstone if my memory serves me right.

 

[Uno Venova]

Pretty sure Jones said his GOTY was UC4, as did Huber (?) right.

I'm going to edit this in and I hope you're right otherwise my ass is grass.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Good point. I'll update it. Like I said this is all from memory

Missing Best Owl: Rowlet

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Once finally got around to finishing it....6 months later. I love how Jones pick for GOTY never seems to win.
