Thick skin? It's their opInion as a group and they put their deliberations out there for everyone to see how they came to their conclusions. If their choice gets you upset, grow the fuck up.
Dead Space's graphics really add to the immersion though. Plus, that dude's face exploding > any other graphics in Uncharted 3

Someone's gooootta explain how The Maltese Falcon is even the tiniest bit like the part in LA Noire where you watch a video of all the bad guys in the game talking about their evil plan to be bad guys. Is Ryan confusing macguffins with deus ex machinas? I honestly can't comprehend their love for LA Noire, and I wanted to love that game so much. I keep coming back to it hoping it won't be shitty but it's shitty every time! Patrick brings up so many good points and Ryan just says "Eh, that's just noir". NO IT ISN'T, IT'S JUST SHITTINESS!
I'm just choking on my stupid internet rage here. Everyone's opinion sucks but mine!

"So, GOTY to the game with terrible gamplay that stops being funny after 3 minutes."
"Yep."
"Yep."
"Yeah."
I should really play that game. Too bad it doesn't seem to be on the European PSN.
According to these GotY's, I should really play Bastion and Saint's Row as well... Although Bastion isn't happening if they don't bring it to PS3.
Wolpaw is also awesome for having Dark Souls as his goty, really wish someone from the GB crew would make a case for it but that's just not happening. I'd like to know why Jeff thinks it's simply not a good game.

Yeah, I agree.
There'll be a token Skyrim vs SR3 discussion, but really SR3 is the only possible winner now.
I'll be shocked if there's a passionate argument for anything else really.

I don't think so, Brad sounds like he is gonna try and push real hard for Skyrim. I have a feeling that this is gonna be Shadow Broker vs Minvera's Den Round 2. Although I hope that Jeff, Ryan, and Vinny don't give this one up like they did last time.

Is that really worse than "the game with terrible gamplay" and is never funny!?!?

Well, they obviously disagree heavily on all counts. What was your post about, exactly?
In the real world this might be true but this is the internet we're talking about. No matter what GB picks they're gonna get raged at.
I know that but that would be the same as say a best game target sold. The catagory made sense in 2005 its stupid now.
I look forward to more SR3 detractors when it wins game of the year. It shall be delicious.

That was seriously the worst podcast incident I listened to. They just let Brad have it to shut him up. I wish the majority would just win rather than having to tire out the opposition before they just say fuck it and give up.

It makes perfect sense. You don't see AAA games here going against little indie games.
No way, that was great. Straight up filibraded that shit. He should dress up in his wizard outfit and shout out "YOU SHALL NOT WINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"

I wonder how many copies of the game GB has sold. Seriously.
Its not called the best indie game its called downloadable. Thats the problem.
Less than CheapyD.
It's called best downloadable game because Best Game That is Primarily Downloadable and Smaller in Scope than Large Retail Releases is a stupid name. You know what they mean, stop being pedantic.

Okay which downloadable only game do you think could be mistakenly put into this category?

I'm fine with the game selling well: lets THQ stay open long enough to ship DS2.
And I'm happy with people thinking they like it: Cus' in a few years there's gonna be a hell of a lot of back peddling.

I just Googled. So... they're putting some random cheap game site dude into the game?
Odd.
Odd.
He donated a ton of money to a charity to get into the game. He was also into Saint's Row before these Fair Weather GBers(kidding. maybe)
Are you trying to imply that Skyrim's combat is good?
First I've heard of it too, I love CheapAssGamer but don't listen to the podcasts or anything.
It's cool they did it for charity.

Oh man, Day 4 with Vinny is amazing (but what else is new?). His Top 10 is awesome. I'm liking the variation in it (and the Dark Souls bit).
I want to play The Witcher 2. It looks very pretty, and also quite fun. I also need to play Bastion... love the artstyle, and the soundtrack--from what I've heard so far--sounds great. Someday.

How could anyone detract a game featuring "Jon" from Delocated?

I'd never heard of him or the site before... so yeah?
So you've played it? Because your Xbox profile says you haven't yet. Give it a shot.
Ha, even better.

Haven't played Skyrim.
Yeah, easily my favorite so far. Brad as the wizard comes in second.
Can't wait for Russian Drew though, lol.

You should try the Bastion demo on Chrome. It's really not a demanding game at all.
