Overwatch is not going to win GOTY lol
When Jeff and Brad has to ask for updates on the podcast on how the community is going and it's more or less a broad statement from the room that should be your warning.
Obvious top 10 picks will be hitman, doom, titanfall 2 and the witness. overwatch and FF15 probably bringing up the rear with uncharted in the middle somewhere
edit: no one there even played FF15 lol

The only thing that would be up for is best DLC/Old Game, and The Witcher should murder that category so I don't see much Destiny talk this year.

Can't wait to hear the GB crew gush over Doom all over again. Expecting that for GotY, if not that Hitman.
Been watching and listening for a couple years, but this will be the first year I'll be listening to the deliberations podcasts.

Top 4 will almost undoubtedly be some combination of Doom, Hitman, Titanfall 2, and Overwatch. So I actually think it'll be quite hard for The Witness to get into the Top 5.
He's just now playing Fallout 4 (getting back to it, he's played a bit last year). I rarely ever get the impression he plays ay decent chunk of current games.

Brad is not going to fight for Hitman over Doom tbh
I could see a Doom, Hitman, Titanfall 2 top 3
Also I don't really care what they rank where. I'm in it for the journey, not the destination

Where as brad was the only real skyrim guy that year and held on to break everyone else's will, every game you'd think he'd argue for #1 has someone's support. Hitman he'd probably get Dan, Vinny, and maybe even Jeff on board. Doom he's got backup, too.
Jason bought overwatch on every platform, he might make a push for it to be high up
Will he say any words at all in 5 days is the real question
Witcher snuck in and deserved higher
If uncharted shows up at all it'll be given too much recognition

FF15 will be nowhere on that list.

switch out FF15 for Forza

Yeah, maybe with Super Mario Maker 3DS and Super Mario Run as runner ups lol.
Forza has a better chance for sure, still I don't think anyone but Jeff really put time into it.

I feel like most of the crew had their expectations in check when it came to that game. I could see Street Fighter V or Super Mario Maker 3DS winning that.

I'd be surprised if Uncharted makes their list. It hasn't seemed to stick with the ones that played it, and I don't think anyone would really fight for it against any other liked game. I guess it could take a "let's just get this shit over with 10 spot".

Only GOTY I care about. I'm guessing Hitman will take it. And deservedly so.

Don't listen until you play the games that you don't want spoiled. I hate when people go into a deep discussion about a subject but have to tip toe around certain topics or sequences because of "spoilers". They warn up front about spoilers, and they are talking about what games are the best of the year, which means talking about what made them great.

I bet there's a very high chance it won't win it. None of them were heavily against it and a few like Alex thought it was "ok". Street Fighter V and Super Mario Maker 3DS will be strong contenders.

I'm saying Overwatch gets it. You guys forget it has the support of the East crew.
What I'm wondering is if there is any chance TLG or FFXV makes it on the bottom of the list. I don't see why not tbh. Obviously Doom, Witness, Overwatch, Hitman, Titanfall, Uncharted, and Stardew make it but that leaves 3 spots open.

Alex "I just wanted to make sure this game got recognized" Navarro has never influenced anything.

Can Destiny be nominated for something again? Need 5 hours of Brad yelling at people for no good reason.

Brad, Jeff, and Dan are the hard influences who push their votes. All 3 of them liked Hitman. All 3 liked Doom. Vinny will probably swing to Hitman so I think that might win it.
I think:
1. Hitman
2. Titanfall 2
3. Doom
Titanfall getting a last moment bump up after Jeff pushes it over Doom with support by Dan and Brad finally concedes after heavy resistance. Then Jeff will start questioning "But what if Titanfall 2 was above Hitman?" and Brad will cut him off going "No way, fuck off. No way is Titanfall 2 getting higher than Hitman". And that's how it'll stay.

Alex Navarro will defend it on the basis of the Foundation Update and the Creative Mode that takes away the agonizing survival elements. Then he will deftly shift into bashing some other game and suddenly No Man's Sky will be off the table since most of the GB crew never seemed that excited about it anyway.
TLG has potential since Alex loved it, I def dont see FFXV making it just because I dont think anyone ever played it. They had to get a gamespot guy to drive the quicklook.
I don't think there's any real precedent for GB giving awards to expansion packs, so I think Destiny is mostly off the table. Even if they were willing to give awards to DLC, nobody really seemed all that interested in Rise of Iron.

Rip and Tear until it's Won should have been the OT title.

Ill be too busy with work to listen to the podcast deliberations this year, but I will try to tune into as many vids as I can.
I'm expecting Doom, The Witness, Titanfall 2 & Hitman to finish strongly in their list, those were the games they seemed to get the most excitement from this year.

I don't think Dan is that much of an influence. He usually just picks one game that isn't a heavy favorite and refuses to budge on it, ultimately settling for a #7 or #8 slot.
I tend to feel like they let their rookie staffers ram one game on to the list just in the spirit of making them feel welcome. Dan did it with Mario Kart 8, and Austin did it with Invisible Inc (despite the fact that literally no one else played or cared about it).

I don't even think Alex played that stuff before they started recording that GOTY stuff.

His take down of Ori was art last year. When Dan wants blood, he gets it

Yeah, I don't think TF2 will go far. Only Jeff and Dan really got into it, and even then Dan fell off. Jeff cannot and will not fight for both Doom and TF2.
Man, Ori's great. I'm looking forward to see what statements that I completely disagree with get thrown out this year

IIRC Dan, Brad all Jason all liked the campaign a bit but i think it was only Dan in this particular group who actually played enough of the multiplayer. Otherwise the rest is Jeff
Didn't Dan buy a ton of Soda to get TF2 codes and was pushed that 12 packs only came with one code?
