He said in an Us vs Them video that both Splatoon Rocket League were his favourite games of the year so I imagine he could go either way.

As I'm talking about GOTY, here's the forecast as I see it:
Locks for Top 10:
MGSV
Mario Maker
Rocket League
Splatoon
Witcher 3
Probable:
Just Cause 3
Galak-Z
Axiom Verge
Possible:
Fallout 4
Call of Duty
Arkham Knight
Did I forget anything? Note that I'm deliberately leaving Persona 5 off the list, as while I do believe it'll be a VERY late 2015 title (I'm currently guessing Dec. 15 as its release date) it'll be far too late to actually make an impact on the proceedings.

I wish I liked Galak-Z more. it's too unforgiving/progress is too slow. I can handle the crushing difficulty, but without a more rewarding meta-progression it doesn't hold my interest enough to keep getting killed in bullshit ways.

Let's just agree that we'll all hate Brad if he tries to push Destiny again.

You forgot Bloodbourne which Dan was calling one of his favourites of the year a couple of months ago.

Just for that I hope that the next 3 bombcasts are all Destiny discussion.Let's just agree that we'll all hate Brad if he tries to push Destiny again.

I can definitely see him trying to make a Dota 2-style "it's a totally different game" argument.
Oh fuck, Bloodborne was this year, wasn't it?You forgot Bloodbourne which Dan was calling one of his favourites of the year a couple of months ago.
Why are you guys leaving three people out of the GOTY discussion
I sometimes forget that bEAST exists. They're like the new Patrick for me. Love them but don't really care about their content.
Brad really liked Dying Light too but I wonder if it'll reach the Top 10, it'll probably be in the discussion for a little bit though. Also Rock Band/Guitar Hero has a chance if either are surprisingly amazing
I think it has a chance. I'd put it in the Possible category, but Brad has definitely mentioned that there's something at the end of the game that will be up for an award.
It's yet another game that's sitting on my PS4 that I haven't gotten around to yet.
Also, I'm not sure if Bloodborne is a Lock or a Probable. Vinny seemed less than enchanted with it, but Brad got the platinum and Jeff actually played a decent amount.

man, their content is awesome, you're missing out
it's just the right counterpoint to dan's eternally optimistic nonsense

I hate Brad regardless.

I don't know. They're always playing those weirder games I don't really play and their QLs are always so long. Now them starting Let's Plays which I never watch on YT is just, I dunno, it further strengthens my suspicion that they don't really know what to do and that I don't really care. I'm not even listening to their podcast anymore.

That's crazy talk. They are putting out some of the best stuff.

Last year's GOTY wasn't too interesting. There were a few good games, but it was basically a race to the top of Shit Mountain. This year is one of the most solid years for games in a long time - and should lead to great debate for a GOTY.

This discussion about GOTY is making me realise that I should really play more Splatoon and Rocket League. Unfortunately I get the feeling that going back to them now could potentially be a bad time.

Yeah. I have a feeling several games are going to get the shaft.
I'm predicting that the shocking twist of this year will be Fallout 4 being shut out of all awards (and the Top 10). I think it's coming out too late for people to put any real progress in it, and unlike the year that Skyrim came out, there's far too many games that the group loves for it to have a chance.

I hope Jason fights to get MH4U on the list.
It sucks that they couldn't get some multiplayer sessions recorded with 4(?) of them playing it. Especially since watching Brad fighting the dungeon bosses in Bloodborne seemed so much like Monster Hunter.
There's no way. It's a good game and it got me into Monster Hunter but it seems like Jason was the only one with any interest whatsoever in it.

I think Until Dawn is a better bet for the top 10 than Galak-Z.

Was Austin into it at all? That would seem to be the only chance he'd have. Even then, while something like that might work in another year, this year is too packed.
I think Until Dawn is a better bet for the top 10 than Galak-Z.
I almost put Until Dawn on the list, but I'm uncertain who's played it at GBWest, whereas I know both offices played Galak-Z and seemed to kind of like it. And I suspect Austin is going to champion it.
So you're saying that GBeast are all about ephemerally pessimistic facts?
alex exists so yes, but vinny and austin balance (vinny is usually optimistic and austin is a realist)
I can definitely see him trying to make a Dota 2-style "it's a totally different game" argument.
Destiny deserves to be in the dog house for a year. Considering They're going to keep hammering at it for the next 8 years, it has plenty of time to actually earn a position.
I'm assuming Brad never played dragons dogma if he thinks the only good thing is crawling on giant monsters.
Also how the fuck does Dan not know how to buy pants.
Brad is the worst. THE WORST!
Dan too.
Beast crew playing weird ass fucking games is the best.

I feel like Life is Strange is the big one that GB will totally overlook. Unless something goes horribly wrong with Episode 5, I think many sites are going to have a lot of nice thing to say about that series. GB have said nothing past the QL.
I thought GBE might get into it (Playdate), but it seems too late for them to do that now. Alex seems to be at least paying attention to the series (posted three of the four episode trailers that were made available), but I don't think is playing. Austin seem like the guy who might fight for a game like that on GOTY, but I don't think he is touching it.

To be fair, I know exactly where he's coming from, and sometimes even knowing your measurements isn't enough to find something that fits.
The underpants thing is just stupid though.

I find austin to be more or less a pretty optimistic guy.
Also the funniest thing to me is the irony of trying so hard to project an image of normalcy in opposition to what he thinks is people showing off their image.

I'm pretty sure Brad was playing it and was enjoying it, but I'm not sure how much he played or if he went back to it once MGSV came out.

Brad said it was one of his favourite games of the year around the time it came out. Everyone else wasn't too hot on it.I wonder if they'll remember that Ori came out this year. Did any of them even finish that?

Sounds like the Nova-111 QL was recorded post a recording of Metal Gear Scanlon V.

I'm at the point in MGSV where I just sent my guys on a mission that takes TWO AND A HALF HOURS and I only have a 52% chance of success and it's critical for the "real ending"
game gets a little absurd with the time commitment later on

jury is still out on Just Cause 3 but it has been getting pretty good pre release hype
Also Axiom Verge happened

Between all the discussion and videos I've seen, I've gone in and bought MGSV... Goodness knows I need something to take me away from Warframe. I really hope this doesn't end up being like the Witcher for me though.
Keyboard or controller?
