Holy SHIT Dan is annoying during this Overwatch category. God damn.

I had been pleasantly surprised by how silent he was the last few days but he was apparently just biding his time until the end.

who didn't that brother twist coming from a mile away? as soon as he came back i knew his backstory was BS

 

[daveo42]

Dammit Dan.

Mei is the people's choice

 

[LiK]

Jesus, Dan can be so damn pushy during these deliberations, lol

 

[chrominance]

Oh my god this Overwatch discussion is the best/worst/best/worst.

 

[tuxfool]

I'll take this Overwatch category discussion as an opportunity to say that you don't have to be shitty to people about stuff you dislike. Overwatch isn't my thing and this whole character discussion is meaningless to me, but I'm glad people like it as much as they do. You could be spending your time punching puppies or doing meth or something. Liking a harmless video game is as inoffensive as it comes.

lur

That you consider meth or punching puppies as an equivalence to a Overwatch discussion is telling.

Spoiler

I agree with the implications.

BEST OVERWATCH CHARACTER IS THE BEST GOTY AWARDS CATEGORY OF 2016

 

[Diprosalic]

i skipped over best story because all of them were bad and i knew

Spoiler

Uncharted would win anyway

 

[daveo42]

This Overwatch discussion is super weird as I have no stake in any of them and sounds like just a bunch of jibberish strung together and yet I am fine to hear people suffer as characters are cut from the list.

Edit: Overwatch is a waifu/husbando sim with guns.

 

[marrec]

DAN: I think I played 5 Minutes of Zenyatta I got confused and then never played him again

JASON: Big surprise

 

[LiK]

The Overwatch discussion and category is smart. It'll get a lot of attention from fans even tho I find this entire category pretty random and nothing I care about.

 

[slightconfuse]

When does GOTY talk start

 

[Tubobutts]

The Overwatch discussion and category is smart. It'll get a lot of attention from fans even tho I find this entire category pretty random and nothing I care about.

They get to tap into the lucrative internet perv audience.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Wow, I didn't expect that. Can't argue with it though.

 

[Brandon F]

Vinny makes a good point. How the fuck did Ori lose best music last year???

 

[SictorVullivan]

Also I'm glad that (best story winner spoilers)

Spoiler

Uncharted 4

got some recognition atleast once through these awards. Thoroughly deserved story wise.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Vinny makes a good point. How the fuck did Ori lose best music last year???

Dan killed it last year

Dan is the true Hitman

Quite a shame FFXV came out so late cuz whether you like the game or not, the OST is pretty amazing. Wish they played it before the deliberations.

 

[soundscream]

I couldnt make it 5 seconds into Alex sabatoge rendition......hes got a voice for drums.

 

[Quonny]

"It's just pretty piano music"

Brad fought hard for it, iirc.

They've had that audience on lockdown for years. Just read the Giant Bomb community thread.

 

[Rhaknar]

I really need to get

Hitman

dont I?

 

[Joeku]

Vinny makes a good point. How the fuck did Ori lose best music last year???

Because it's true that Giant Bomb has really leaned hard into chiptuney hard-edged soundtracks over the years, to the detriment of orchestral and other types of soundtracks.

At least 2016 had way less of that, and the big one there was was at least done by Disasterpeace.

 

[Apathy]

"She's a space Egyptian!"

 

[funkystudent]

Best Music always favors chip tunes and electronic music.

It sucks but thats the way it is.

Ok I need to listen to that segment again. Mistakes were made.

 

[daveo42]

Jeff is the people's choice.

"She's a space Egyptian!"

"I've seen better Space Egyptians..."

 

[LiK]

I had no idea Jeff liked Mei.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

WHAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA was better music to Dan and Ori's tracks weren't as interesting.

The real travesty was Jeff's dismissal of Undertale's music as "just chiptunes."

 

[oti]

Who is this guy with the glasses gushing over Zarya? How did he get into the studio?

 

[Brandon F]

I really need to get

Spoiler

Hitman

dont I?

It's shot up to my personal top 3 this year real goddamn fast after picking up the season over Black Friday.

 

[marrec]

I had no idea Jeff liked Mei.

Jeff consistently has correct opinions.

 

[jmood88]

DAN: I think I played 5 Minutes of Zenyatta I got confused and then never played him again

JASON: Big surprise

Jason has killed Dan a couple times but apparently, no one has paid attention. On one of the days, Dan said something like, "I just feel like..." and Jason, back in the cut said, "I don't give a fuck what you feel".

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I had no idea Jeff liked Mei.

He stanned hard for Mei when Overwatch came out

 

[daveo42]

Jeff likes big buff ladies: Confirmed

I really need to get

Spoiler

Hitman

dont I?

I've been putting it off, but I might end up getting it...even if I don't have the time to play it.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

Spoiler

1. HITMAN

2. DOOM

3. Overwatch

4. The Witness

5. Titanfall 2

6. Superhot

7. Inside

8. Hyper Light Drifter

9. Thumper

10. Stardew Valley

Lol. Number One doesn't deserve that spot. It's a disservice to the other games below it to place it that highly.

It sucks but thats the way it is.

Except when Undertale was being nominated, and suddenly Jeff was sick of chiptunes (of which a significant portion of Undertale's soundtrack isn't).

I had no idea Jeff liked Mei.

Jeff enjoys pain and chaos

He's also correct

 

[Reedirect]

That Tracer dismissal was the dumbest thing since "Life is Strange Wikipedia Summary". At least Jeff fighting the good fight for Mei.

 

[Sou Da]

I had no idea Jeff liked Mei.

He enjoys it when other people don't have fun apparently.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Lol. Number One doesn't deserve that spot. It's a disservice to the other games below it to place it that highly.

Lol, why is that?

 

[Phediuk]

Of course Dan loves Reaper.

lmao.

 

[LiK]

Gonna probably skip Best Story. Too many games there I haven't played being discussed.

I laughed hard at this one too. I gotta fix this for the hilarity, though!

JASON: Big surprise.

JEFF: This seems in line with everything you've ever said about Overwatch. You're like "Yeah Soldier 76!" and I'm like 'of course...'

DAN: I played like 12 hours of Soldier 76!

[EmCeeGramr]

Reaper is a good DPS and flanker who was an excellent anti-tank before Ana made tanks nigh invincible and D.Va got buffed, and his story and characterization show that everyone else is fully aware of how silly he is and looks

 

[Novocaine]

At least Jeff gave

Spoiler

FH3

some credit. It's like the rest of the crew forgot about it.

 

[LiK]

Reaper is legit still good. He's a tank killer and I found people still have trouble dealing with him at times because he isn't as played much in the higher ranked play these days.
