Fair point.

I agree with Jeff in that Vive's ecosystem (though most of that also works with Oculus) is what makes it by far the most interesting one at the moment. For the same reason I couldn't imagine playing games but not having a PC, I couldn't imagine buying into a closed VR ecosystem if I only had one VR platform. It's just not my thing.

I know w'all have our differences but I think we can all agree that Song of the Year goes to Civ6's Sogno di Volare.
There can be disagreement.

the steady drip-drip of elusives and maps is pretty good though
Let me paint you a picture:
Alex pulls out his phone to play it
Everyone waits for some beat to kick in
It never happens
Everyone makes fun of Alex
The award goes to the electronic theme of an indie game.
DOOM deserves it, but it will at least get top 3. Jeff will push as absolutely hard as possible for Rez Infinite at #1 which I would be fine with as well, but it'll fall in the bottom half of the top 10.

Hey, The Division was this year.
Remember The Division, guys?
Remember The Division, guys?
Young Scoops of hot new web startup bazinga.zone singlehandedly fixed that though.
The strangest GB expectations (and release) I remember was Mario Maker with Jeff saying if it can't do X, Y and Z (on podcasts and live shows) "they've fucked up" and some of those things weren't in the game but Jeff defended it to death.
I'm not saying it's not fun game because of those things or that Jeff can't change his mind but it was such sharp turn from "they've fucked up" to Jeff calling it the best games in years.
I'm one level away from finishing Doom and it deserves GOTY. The game that stuck with me the most was Firewatch but Doom is just purely fun. It was an excellent designed game top to bottom that took the best parts of the original and added a bunch of clever mechanics with excelent pacing to boot.

Yeah I had fun with it with my brothers, I'm excited to play it with the new patch when I get my PS4 Pro.

Hey I knew Cindi would become The Best One.
Doom proved that, while games have come a long way, just straight murdering hellspawn to a banging soundtrack has yet to be topped.

Oh my god my eyes
Pretty much. How self aware Doom was of its dumbness and used it to provide a fun experience was genius.
also, I'm not an heavy metal fun but Doom is totally my OST of the year.

Still to this day I cannot and will not accept that an individual can prefer the light them to the dark.
If you have a properly calibrated monitor, light themes are always better.
He admitted the Halo tattoo was fake.
Used a terrible Trench warfare analogy including Doritos for marketing reasons. It's kinda beautiful in how awful it is.

Why the love for Mario maker at gb? Do I need to watch the ql or something?

No need, sometimes they get fixated on bad games and drive them into the ground.
You should watch the Mario Maker streams where they build a level with the community. You can see how they love making levels.

Do yourself a favor and play LiS ASAP. Fantastic game, highly recommend!
Because it's the game of the forever and if you disagree you're a Brad and you don't want to be a Brad.
There has been a long feud between Patrick and Dan. Dan made impossible levels and Patrick tried to finish them. All on video.

Honestly I'm thinking Jeff is probably my favorite? He's the most hilarious and the glue. Ryan is hilarious in old GB videos and I feel honored to see why people loved him so much posthumously. It's sad but it makes me happy at the same time that due to all of the archives and stuff I can watch the same stuff that made everyone else love him.
All I have to do now is convince Jeff that Shenmue II is the best game of all time.
At one point I belabored the idea of watching old content. "What's the point? It's an old game." But not I've been going through the site the past few weeks. just watching old stuff because I now value their perspective on games and they're also hilarious. I dunno. I'm not used to going to any game site period besides neogaf. I stopped taking game reviews and the game media seriously about 10 years ago, besides anything 1up. Once that site died, I honestly didn't bother looking at reviews for the most part. Why check out what the gaming media thinks when all you can do is go to youtube and watch a let's play (HOPEFULLY WITH NO COMMENTARY) for a few hours and decide whether or not it's worth purchasing?
So this is all new to me. It feels weird to me going to four game websites (Waypoint, Kotaku, Giant Bomb, US Gamer). It's not something I would have done years ago.

Cool to hear you enjoy them so much. You probably have a bunch of recommendations lined up, but if you want to laugh your ass off watch the QLs for Motorbike and Enforcer: Police. Crime. Action.
