They cut a bunch of the fun categories last year. That was a bummer. The year in review is fine, but I wish they only did it for the "smaller" games they know won't "hang" in any category.
I mean, Brad won by attrition against everyone in 2010 for best DLC after an hour of Vinny and crew trying to argue against it and him just being stubborn. It's always been this.
I would be totally ok if each coast had their own debates/awards for dozens of hours and the only cross-coast stuff being the actual top 10, plus a few videos.
I'm pretty much completely over the debating side of GOTY. Especially when literally none of them ever have convincing arguments and it is always just who is the most stubborn.
I'd be quite happy for them to only do personal lists and scrap the consensus list all together.
