MGO comes to PC next month. I can't contain my excitement.

(sorry)

 

[DrFunk]

this is gonna give Patrick a stroke

 

[Zaph]

I thought the "I question MM being a game" comment was before the GOTY discussions. Was there something else?

Latest Bombcast. Brad drops a sarcastic 'it's almost like the game has problems presenting content' (or something like that) and groans.

I think he said it's like it needed a better notification system, or something.

yup, that was it

[Wunder]

Hahahaha

 

[Archaix]

Unfortunately I think SMM took it. That random salty moment on the Bombcast from Brad gave it away imo

You just undid all of the good will your Vinny gif brought you.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

They're really into the Mario World theme, huh?

You know what plays better than Mario World? New Super Mario Bros.

If by "plays better" you mean "has more abilities for Mario," sure. Otherwise, Super Mario World plays better, looks better, sounds better, and has more interesting level design.

 

[Mister Negative]

I've played MGSV and I haven't played SMM, but out of the two I think I'd have to choose SMM just from what i've seen.

I've been salty enough about MGSV in these threads so I'll just leave it.

That joke is so dark, especially knowing he's on medication, fuck.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I don't get the sense that gbeast is as about SMM as some of the west coast guys are.

So the hope is that they held the line and gave the award to a real game, the one with the fake Bowie

Also, I don't think I've ever been into a brad filibuster but I have a feeling this is the year

Wait when the hell did they add helmets to SMM? The fuck is this shit

 

[f0rk]

You're supposed to bring a switch with you through that door right

ok not that evil

fucking lmao, that look to Dan from Jeff right before he took the pipe was gold

their relative ambivalence to SMM is the biggest piece of evidence for why West is best

having said that, the witcher 3 for goty or im dropping my sub

MGSV came out this year and I could write an essay on why Nintendo made it possible to make fun games in mario maker, but completely failed at making a game of mario maker.

He's very good at this whole twitter thing

That's dark but hilarous

 

[Hakkesshu]

So whatever happened with that Dan vs. Patrick stream where Jeff was gonna make a level? Has Patrick talked about it at all since he beat the first klepokalypse?

 

[f0rk]

This is crazier than saying Destiny wouldn't top 10 last year

 

[Mister Negative]

"everything involves p switches on some level."

the timing didn't work out with Patrick being in SF and the wedding he had to attend

Also, Dan keeps admitting that he has done very little actual playing of SMM

I mean you can't give it to a game you technically haven't played much right? Right!?!?

It's almost like Nintendo did nothing to incentivise you to play other people's levels.

i hate when people edit twitter stuff to be read from the top down because i actually use twitter and know how to read it so i don't look like a geezer being all "how do you read social media websites in the year of our lord two thousand and fifteen it doesn't make sense to me what is the website used for"

 

[tuxfool]

Yeah. I can honestly say I now hate SMM. At least I can avoid it, most of the time.

 

[Wunder]

hahaha

Witcher 3 is the Game of the Year. But it won't be Giant Bomb's GOTY. GB is almost beneath The Witcher 3. It's too beautiful of a creation.

I don't think the Gone Home argument is a particularly sound one

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Mario Maker still works for me. I could watch GB play this and shoot the shit all day.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Jeff gets so much joy out of the suffering of others in Mario Maker.

Or specifically... Dan.

EDIT - "By the way, it shoots coins."

 

[stump sock]

this level is disgusting and Jeff is a nightmare person.

but this is funny.

e: for real if I knew where I could get some Stree Overlord I'd get some for my holiday party at work

 

[Mister Negative]

the shooting of the shit is the part that makes it to be honest

i used to be super anti mario maker on streams, but i think the game has gotten a little more refined as time went on and it's a little more entertaining to watch now. Patrick vs. Dan was kind of the turning point for me.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I don't think the Gone Home argument is a particularly sound one

But gone home is a real game.

It isn't a toolset for making other games.

Mario Maker is great, but as someone very wise once said, this ain't no game

 

[jaina]

Jeff's glee makes re-watching the early parts still enjoyable.
I can personally accept either MGSV or SMM as their GOTY. My own top spot isn't decided yet and SMM won't be in my top 10. Haven't even played it myself.

 

[Mister Negative]

what is dan doing now then

is this schrodinger's videogame or something

That would imply that you can't play the shit you and other people make. You can play the game without ever touching any of the tools. Patrick, for exmaple, hasn't made a single level.

 

[broncobuster]

Austin has Yakuza 5. Repeat. Austin has Yakuza 5. All is well.

 

[stump sock]

but if Austin QL's Yakuza 5 then we'll break the streak of GB not understanding/ ignoring Yakuza

 

[Joeku]

Did people ever try to say LittleBigPlanet wasn't a game?

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

what is dan doing now then

is this schrodinger's videogame or something

Seems to me he hasn't even finished this one level. He could've found dandelion with all this time where he's made zero progress.

Did people ever try to say LittleBigPlanet wasn't a game?

Naw because it actually has a campaign

 

[Archaix]

Seems to me he hasn't even finished this one level. He could've found dandelion with all this time where he's made zero progress.

Yeah but he's having fun doing this

 

[Skyrim]

just joining in.

the studio looks sad. lol

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Did people ever try to say LittleBigPlanet wasn't a game?

LBP wasn't really in GOTY discussions.

Spoiler

Maybe it was, I dunno. Just trying to be snarky.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I totally broke the shit out of this level.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Rorie's glee at Dan's basic failures is great

 

[War Peaceman]

That would imply that you can't play the shit you and other people make. You can play the game without ever touching any of the tools. Patrick, for exmaple, hasn't made a single level.

What? He hasn't?!

Also it seems really weird that people think that the puzzle solving and creativity required for level making in MM aren't gamey.

Did people ever try to say LittleBigPlanet wasn't a game?

Well it is kind of a moot point. LBP should never have been eligible for any GOTY award it is shiiit

 

[Frith]

But gone home is a real game.

Mario Maker is great, but as someone very wise once said, this ain't no game

are levels made by people more real than ones procedurally generated?
is spelunky a game?

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I mean I don't care either way, I'm just messin. Mgsv has a very flawed backend and SMM isn't something that resonated with me a ton though I grew up with these games. I just want there to be blood on the streets for these gotys and like poking holes in the SMM-is-Goty theories

Regardless, Rocket League is the true hero of 2015

Oh and spelunky has a campaign

 

[mnz]

itch.io is my GotY

 

[danm999]

This UPF segment feels like a victory lap for Jeff and Dan having made MM GOTY last week.

 

[Wunder]

'poking holes'
