Yesterday Brad was talking about November sales and Dan had to remind him that the Wii U existed. Brad couldn't bother looking up numbers and just said they were probably bad while insisting for some reason that Mario Kart had only sold a million copies and also that 3D World was basically the same as the DS game.

Dan Didio posted:They were bad, though. I spent ten seconds googling it out of curiosity and found that it had its strongest week of sales since the console's launch, which you'd think would be worth mentioning.

Wormskull posted:It still blows my mind to find out that people care about this even a tiny bit. I mean I personally don't care about sales but the topic was "sales numbers" and he followed up by writing off 3D World. I just started listening to them but Brad seems to be the worst opinion haver

I listened to last year's goty stuff. Brad's lack of self awareness is amazing, he gets everyone to drop Mario 3D World despite Alex's protests, but then whines like a baby that loving DOTA isn't #1 or 2, to the point where they have to tell him "You are literally the only one of us who plays this" to shut him up and he pouts because it ends up "only" 5 or 6 or something.

The Taint Reaper posted:Someone said The Last of US was GOTY so I bought the PS4 version since it was 20 bucks at gamestop I mean it looks like a good third person story game but it was pretty MODERN GAMING in the goty podcast when after hours of discussion one of them said "so do I have to be the one to bring up that it loving sucks to actually play?" and everyone laughed in agreement and proceeded to declare it GOTY.

I haven't listened yet, are they seriously kicking around dota2? Isn't that a 2013 game? And they pretty explicitly told Brad last year that he was the only one who played it and it being on the list at all was good enough.

Verisimilidude posted:Brad is annoying during these talks because it seems like he's willing to put a game on a list simply because he likes it and his fight for said game gets tiring quickly. Like Brad's list would consist of nothing but DOTA2 and Destiny if he could get away with it. Yeah I just started listening recently but I did go back and listen to last year's GOTY stuff because I have a longass commute and I hate Brad because of this. Everyone else has games that they're like "Well I really like this, it's my personal favorite, but I understand you guys don't so it doesn't have to be on the group's list". But Brad is just a big whiny baby who burbles about how he can't budge and you can feel everyone just kinda awkwardly working around that because I guess it's not worth provoking a tantrum from him. Blackheart posted:It's worth not having to deal with cranky brad But like what's the reasoning, why not give goty to alpha centauri then.

slingshot effect posted:i like the goty podcasts but holy poo poo, hours of brad sulking about destiny was unbearable. I was listening to the first one on the way to work this morning and during the graphics part I thought "Brad actually isn't that bad when one of his pet games isn't in the conversation". Then he brings up Destiny out of nowhere and spends like five minutes gurgling about the weapon designs and how "each planet has fully realized aliens" or whatever while Jeff is like "Uh-huh, hmm, yeah" and everyone else is just completely silent hoping it just blows over. It doesn't.

Oh another great moment in Bread history is when he dismissed Mario Kart 8's graphics as just a better looking version of Mario Kart Wii, and then goes on to vehemently argue in favor of the GTA V rerelease.

As I go deeper into the GOTY podcasts I respect how Giant Bomb accurately represents the overall gaming population by making sure only like two of them play any Wii U games.

I'm pretty sure the Best Music segment with Jeff playing random ten-second snippets of Tropical Freeze's soundtrack from his phone while going "lol what is this Disney garbage" was just there to troll me specifically.

I don't read stuff on the site and I'm new to giant bomb in general but I liked Patrick because he was actually enthusiastic about games. Jeff just hates everything and Brad seems to like games but it's just a front to bring the conversation around to DOTA/Destiny. Dan is cool too.

Oxyclean posted:so I just listened to the goty debate and I gotta say I like the part where they (brad?) poo poo on Mario Kart 8 citing reasons like "it's just another entry in the series with minor changes" yet had no issue putting CoD#whatever at like 5th place despite it having the exact same faults Jeff was the one loudly screaming about Mario Kart every single time it was brought up. He had Call of Duty as his personal #1. Also his complaint about Smash Bros was that it's just a chaotic mess and "no one" can tell what's happening which is basically "I'm bad at the game" and I dunno why no one called him on it.

Every time Brad tries to talk about Destiny they should just drown him out by playing back his moan from this podcast when he learned about Bacon Jerky.Flanky posted:I like this podcast better when it is not polluted by Jeff's major neg vibes Seriously, they were able to talk about Majora's Mask for five minutes without Jeff screaming "IT'S A BAD GAME!" every thirty seconds. It was p. cool.

That's hilarious because in the latest podcast Brad made a point of saying he's learned that Mario Party is bullshit so this year he's just going to not give a gently caress and have fun.

It would help if Dan would describe how the 3-day thing is a cool feature that expands gameplay options, or how densely populated the world is with tons of unique sidequests, instead of just saying "But it's so weird and dark!" over and over.

I can't believe it took me this long to understand that Jeff's miserable personality is because he is forced to play videogames for a living but he's terrible at them. It's some real Monkey's Paw bullshit. Forced to fumble through game after game while all he can think is "I was good at Donkey Kong when I was 12."

Also "it's not all fun like on your tv show Breaking Bad" which is a funny way to find out none of them watched breaking bad.
