Danganronpa is this pretty solid series with a bunch of fans that act like it's the second coming of anime Jesus. You like a middling murder mystery series that subverts a few common anime tropes, amazing.

No one believes that. It's just a fun series with lots of fun twists and great crazy characters. I love the Zero Escape and Persona series as well but those fans are far more insufferable at times with the franchise.

I liked the first game and thought the second one did some crazy amazing stuff in the end, but everything else in the series sucks. Another episode was complete trash and so was that anime they out put this year.

 

[Antiwhippy]

More like unsharted amirite?

 

[stump sock]

the real ultimate despair is listening to dragon ropa fans talk about the games

GOTY Day Five

That's it, we can't use that phrase template anymore. It's ruined.

 

[derFeef]

I am now also going to rip a statement out of context that might sound crazy because it's actually 12 or more months later and a lot more videogames came out!

 

[Harpuia]

How long are the boys back in town anyway. I loved the 3 hr podcast last time it almost made the content drought OK. I'm also on the lookout for GOTY salt that spilled over into their other stuff.


I'm hoping we get a beast cast out of it too. The bit where Drew just kept going and saying hair salon names was hilarious.

What is this Dangonronpa you all are speaking of? I only know of a game called Dragon Grandpa.

?

Yay!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'm very excited to chat about the GOTY-casts with you all again! I forget, did we have a dedicated thread last year?

There's a dedicated thread every year. Gotta keep GOTY garbage outta here when it commences.

People who love overused phrase templates LOOOOOOOVEEE overused phrase templates.

 

[Johndoey]

I think we can all agree hardcore fans of anything are the goddamn worst.

I can't wait for the Best Music discussion to crush my soul like it does every year.

 

[Meneses]

Everything is shit.
Except the thing I love.

You're goddamn right.

On that note, Danganronpa is shit, Walking Dead is shit.

Xcom is great.

Mordor was cool and the combat was better than Arkham if only because Talion doesn't go zipping from one end of the screen to the other while chaining combos.

 

[Maiorum]

What about hardcore GB fans

 

[mnz]

Isn't this a hardcore Giant Bomb fan thread? Hm.

Ah, righto. Too much other content to discuss in here, right?

 

[Meneses]

They're / we're probably the worst.

I mean what I said.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm more into softcore GB.

 

[oti]

I enjoyed Mordor after a couple of hours. You have to put some hours in to get rewarded with overpowered attacks, but that was fine to me. I'd never say it was GOTY but as a casual LoTR fan I was satisfied. Played it a year later though so I knew what to expect.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'm more into softcore GB.

Leave something to the imagination, I can dig that.

 

[LiK]

Hardcore GB fans are the worst of the best.

 

[Tubobutts]

Everyone except for me is the worst.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Matt Kessler is still the worst.

 

[minty_ice]

I thought Brad was the worst?

 

[Catvoca]

The new games are the worst

 

[ThanksVision]

i still want gb gotg for last gen one of these summers only to hear jeff G's take on the generation as a whole... hottest mess of the last decade or so? those deliberations would be 80 hours long tho

Giant Bombs 5: Brad Unleashed.

 

[robotrock]

I still can't get over Jeff saying that Thumper sounds like a blue man group show.

It's been 3 years since the current gen launched. I've given up on that one.

 

[patapuf]

The new games are the worst

But what happens when the new games become the old games?

Are all games bad?

did we just not realize it?

That's all they're leaving us with nowadays.

Oh man the Christmas Hitman trailer

Why do I get the feeling GOTY is going to be Jeff and Dan arguing Brad to either back DOOM or HITMAN

Hitman is definitely the GB Meta Game of 2016. Could you even imagine GB 2016 without Hitman?

 

[Lingxor]

Here's a dumb thing I made. (WARNING: WRESTLING)

[Hindl]

Dan's gonna get Pokemon Sun on the list

 

[AuthenticM]

Brad will go for Hitman, and Jeff will go for Doom, because it's a shooter, and that's Jeff's jam. I don't know where the others will fall. Dan could go either way, while I think Vinny will side with Hitman.

I haven't played either game, but I find Hitman to be a bigger accomplishment and more deserving of the award.

 

[demidar]

You can't overhead throw a fire extinguisher into a Cyberdemon's face.

Checkmate atheists.

 

[Maiorum]

They finally made a Home Alone videogame.

it did definitely save them the trouble of having to think of other games to play.

 

[Tubobutts]

Dan's gonna get Pokemon Sun on the list

But he's playing Pokémon Moon.

 

[Hindl]

But he's playing Pokémon Moon.

Fuck my bad whatever. He'll get Moon on the list

 

[oti]

Dan's gonna get Pokemon Sun on the list

I liked my time with Moon but I feel like it doesn't go far enough to modernize the gameplay. It's the same old rhythm over and over again. Replacing badges is fine, I just wish they had pushed further.

What. Brad would marry DOOM if he could.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

My vote is still for DOOM, both in what I think GB GOTY should be and what it will be.

God I love Prime Now getting a sack full of cookies and video games on my doorstep is great.
