I feel like there's no way it will win, but I think it could be #2 or 3.
I didn't think DBFZ would make it until Vinny's list hit. I think between his love of it, Jason and Ben's appreciation of it and Dan and Jeff's newfound love of Dragonball because of it (even if they didn't play the game itself that much) it'll hit at like number 10 or something. Destiny didn't come out this year, they don't tend to out dlc in the main list and I don't see this year being any different.
but she kept pestering me afterwards! sending letters to camp and shit.
I think it can make top 3. Not everyone loved BOTW and it still got in there.
But Destiny 2 is just so much better, just on a philosphical level. And that beats every other game.
I mean, it's Diablo now. Di-a-blo!

But no one hated it. Not in the way Jeff and Dan have talked about RDR2. That's the point
I only got one, and I shoved it up Pearson's ass.
Speaking of, goddamn Antagonize Arthur is awful and brutal. Worth watching videos of how awful he can be to people if you've finished the game. The shit he says to Abigail and Pearson are next level burns
Vinny and Dan both love GoW and ranked it their number 1, but I don't think either game will be top of the list.
Nah, he didn't hate it, he just didn't think it deserved to be on the list. The GOTY talk is skewed because they need to prop up their choices and cut down the ones in the way, but Jeff still played 60 hours of BotW and enjoyed himself.
I'm curious how the epilogue is set up with a jerk Arthur.
Honestly, a lot can happen with these deliberations, 2017 is a really good example of how Jeff spearheaded PUBG into taking the victory that year despite overwhelming support for Nier: Automata, BoTW and Mario Odyssey. Red Dead absolutely stands a chance with someone like Brad relentlessly supporting it.
Guess that means no hitmas this year given how long the other videos are this year :(
I know it was pretty obvious when a new Mario Party released and Dan was going some to SF for GOTY talks but I'm glad to see the crew back together for another round lol.
This and the lengths of the other videos still to come makes me feel like we're not getting a Hitsmas this year.
But I am happy for this.
pubg was the best game out of that group though, easily. I mean, it actually IS the best game of that year.

PUBG was always gonna win. It was the game they played every Monday for half the year.
I feel like some of those rosy words will get torn to shreds when they actually get down to the nitty-gritty open world aspects of the game
Again though, none of those games had unanimous support, even PUBG. I literally just listened to those talks, and Alex and Ben (and to a lesser extent Jeff) were the only ones fighting for Nier. Similarly, Dan found out quickly he was the only one willing to truly die on the BotW hill (that he got it to number 2 is a minor miracle). Mario Odyssey had the most support from the staff.
PUBG on the other hand, had pretty much everyone except Abby behind it, and she knew she had no fight against it. PUBG is really one of the least contested number one picks they've recently had, it was only a matter of a couple isolated cases of passion for BotW and Nier. But no one could really argue PUBG

It didn't work with DOOM.
It didn't work with Zelda.
I will always cheer for Brad, but man he has the odds stacked against him.
I just re-listened to the podcast this weekend. They spent more time discussing #2-4 than PUBG at #1. It really wasn't a debate at all.
So after listening to the RDR2 segment I don't think it will be their GOTY but should be in the top 5, some of them have a lot of issues with it and one of them even put it in the most despointing bracket, Kinda surprised they didn't talk about the combat though.
Who's the guy in the center btw? Like chill dude, "I looked it up and it does that" again and again.

No it wasnt tho, there was the promise of a great game that in the end didnt materialize, Fortnite ended up fleshing out that promise tho
I'm not debating it wasn't the best game of that year, but it had some strong competition from games people had REALLY strong feelings about in that room, Jeff definitely pulled his weight in that discussion despite some people not being overly hot on it.
This. This is the only thing I wanted for Christmas this year. Thank you GB for making my dreams come true.
Oh god why is it so long, I thought this game wasn't like that!?
