here's how it'll go

everyone - "many rational arguments for Overwatch"
Jeff - "no, Doom"

GOTY 2016 : DOOM!

reference : GOTY 2015

DOOM will be #1 on Jeff and Brad's list at the very least. As it should be, because it's an excellent game.

Overwatch is nowhere near #1, imo. I'm already slotting it into the bottom half of my list and i don't even think I've played ten games yet this year.

Jeff and Brad tag team is pretty tough to beat. Dan loves Overwatch too so maybe he'll fight for it.

Dan and Alex secret alliance.

The first Cold Steel was absolutely fantastic and anyone that likes JRPGs owes it to themselves to play it. My most liked JRPG since Persona 4, not coincidentally it has some similarities (School setting, social links, etc). The game also ends on a huge cliffhanger that's made the wait for the sequel unbearable.

My only gripe about the Cold Steel games is that they aren't available on PC! They brought out the amazing Trails in the Sky FC & SC on Steam, if only Cold Steel 1 & 2 were there also.

That said, I'm excited to try it some time. But with a new Deus Ex looming, there is no way I can commit to a new JRPG atm.

and i'm just salty for them ignoring Witcher 3 last year, that salt will never go away

My launch Vita copy is still sealed and now I'm considering just playing it over PS Now. I think I made some mistakes.

Super Mario Maker is the best GOTY winner of all time. That's undisputable.

If Brad were to be consistent he'd disregard Doom for GOTY since it's "just the fourth Doom". But it's Brad. He'll use some mumbo jumbo to push it through since A) Austin isn't there to challenge him and B) lol Alex.

I want to hear arguments. Dan, Jason, and Alex feel strongly about it.

Brad: It's Doom and it's so different than every other shooter since it's the same kind of shooter that people got sick off a decade ago.
Alex: But Overwatch is perfect.
Brad: I don't knoooooooooow.
Alex: You have convinced me. Doom it is.

Vinny has talked more about Overwatch than any other game this year as well
Overwatch seems like a game for people who like Tumblr porn. Normal cool guy Dan will not support it over normal cool game DOOM.

Dan stopped playing Doom to play more Overwatch. Overwatch is a normal cool guy game where as DOOM is a creepy game for guys who own fedoras and katanas
 
FF XV will win GOTY thanks to Jeff-kun.

Boy that new Hitman map is gorgeous. Hell, that entire game is gorgeous.

Shades of P.T. where the small(ish) locations can really showcase some great art and textures.

I do think it maybe feels too similar in design ideas to Paris.
But it is beautiful, and the opportunities were a lot of fun.

For feeling like one of the smaller maps, there is a lot of cool stuff hidden around




And just like I feared, everyone forgot about Dark Souls 3 :(
 
Here's what I'm saying:

DOOM and Hitman are LOCKS for the top 3. Titanfall 2 will sneak into the top 5. NMS 7-10 slot, if that. I don't quite want to say it will get Destiny'd, because I don't think Jeff will tear it apart, but it might also win most disappointing.

I absolutely adore Hitman, but I don't know where you're getting top 3 for GB from. Clarify?

Jeff hasn't really played it, which makes top 3 iffy for me.

But Brad and Dan will have it high for sure. Jason/Drew will too from having to watch so much of it.
 
Top 3 is DOOM, Overwatch and Hitman. NMS has no chance in top 10, imo

Yeah I tend to agree. It'll have some discussion but ultimately the back half of the list will more likely be made up of various duders' personal darlings that maybe one other person played. Can't see anybody going to bat for NMS.

Hell will freeze over before NMS makes the top 10

DOOM is definitely the favorite. Hitman is a lock for top 5 at this point. Same for Overwatch. The Witness will likely place well. I could see Firewatch around 6 or 7. This should be a fun GOTY will a lot of good games. Hell, we don't even know how Deus Ex or Dishonored 2 will fare, and I like their chances of being great.
 
I'm playing AdVenture Capitalist on PS4 and I checked the leaderboards, and sure enough GiantBombing (aka Jeff) is on the list (at 30). If that list is PS4 only, he's been playing a lot of the PS4 version.
