Giant Bomb |GOTY 2018| Cowboys vs. Gods
- Thread starter Death Metalist
- Start date
The story is really bad but the game itself is alright. I had a good time with it.
Too much people hating on it
Don't see GOW winning either
It's gonna be one of the indies / small games that satisfies everyone (Dead Cells, Into the Breach, Tetris Effect, Obra Dinn)
Still sticking with Dead Cells making it in. Nobody hates it. That's my thought on why it'd be #1.
Tetris is still just fucking tetris and not worth putting on a list unless it's an all-time list.
Ok, as long as I'm not alone on thinking it's not a good name for what it stands for haha
Yeah I think it'll be one of those four. Wouldn't shock me if RDR/GOW only barely or don't make the top 5 tbh. There's too many good games they agree about.
Y'all thinking some flowery words from Brad is really going to make RDR2 Giant Bomb's GOTY 2018?
Jeff and Dan will make sure that doesn't happen.

I don't think she is. I mean you could have said no BUT it's clear that the relationship is not as clear cut as it seems to be. There's a lot of regret in the air, lost love, a father's deadly grip on the daughter, Arthur never quitting the gang due to his loyalty.etc it's a combination of a lot of shitty things and yet, they both wished things worked out better without explicitly saying it out loud(well, she kind of does at one point). I don't know. I really loved that subplot. It's tragic, endearing and the final mission of hers is very bittersweet.
It is out in Japan! I'm currently playing it and it's a great podcast game
my thing is she only reaches out to arthur when she needs something and the whole time she's with him it's constantly, "Oh Arthur..." crap and I'm like, "Please God stop"
Wait, does Tetris Effect count as an indie? I guess since Enhance publishes this. But Tetris and indie isn't something I'm used seeing together.
Maybe if you use math, which we all know has absolutely no bearing here
If you bought into Mary's bullshit, you're easily manipulated. Let Arthur not come off as a simp, please. Fuck all that shit. He went his own way. You can go your own waaaay.
OP
OP
That is true but she admits that she doesn't know anyone who is able to be up for such a thing but Arthur. I guess this is where you come in to say no but I feel Arthur even in his somewhat bitterness at how things went, still cares deep down because he knows it was a lot of other things surrounding them that ruined their relationship.
That's why I added small games haha. I think Tetris Effect would fit nicely in that list of smaller, often made by individual studios, games.
Agreed, I appreciate the world they built and it seems like it would be a blast to play around in if the game didn't feel like absolute garbage.
OP
OP
They should've been removed because I literally did not care about it and I guess it's because I always bought stuff from the general store every now and then. However, it could have worked to such great effect due to that one thing that happens in the story. But it was never implemented in a way that made it such a priority.
The deconstruction of the camp though through the game is done way better.
I sure hope we don't get a Hell's Kitchen/Great British Bake-Off surprise like "you both win"
I know it's been released in Japan but is it in English?
The first was my favourite game that year so when he said it's out I double checked and the date for here is still just 2019.
Yeah don't see either GoW of RDR2 being their GOTY. I'd bet money on GoW getting ranked higher though. Just seems like it has more support at this point.
Gut says Dead Cells will win with GoW, Tetris Effect, Obra Dinn, and RDR2 rounding out the top 5 (no particular order on those).
Nah, Jeff would never let that happen. He is always so quick to shut down anyone who suggests joint winners for any category.
GB Staff RDR2 Watch continues:
Ben - #8
Dan - not on the list, not even honorable mentions
Vinny - #8
Abby - #1
Brad - #1 (list is unranked, but it's safe to assume)
Jan - not on the list, but he doesn't really get a vote
Rorie - not on the list, but he's no an editor, so it doesn't matter for RDR2 Watch
GB Staff God of War Watch continues:
Ben - #4
Dan - #1
Vinny - #1
Abby - #4
Brad - did not play enough to be really sure how he felt about it
Jan - #3
Matt Rorie - on the list
Ben - #8
Dan - not on the list, not even honorable mentions
Vinny - #8
Abby - #1
Brad - #1 (list is unranked, but it's safe to assume)

So the near-guarantees at this point seem to be
Dead Cells, Into The Breach, Tetris Effect, Obra Dinn, Spider Man, God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2
Which is already 7
What rounds out the top 10?
DBFZ? Destiny? Hitman 2?

glad you're here to set me straight on that shit. mary berry is a fucking fraud

Which is also something he agrees with in his write-up but the highs of the game are really fucking high. I could easily understand why one bails out though. R* was going for a very specific vision. At some point you're either with'em or not.
I just hope Tetris Effect gets its due, amazing game but maybe it doesnt make the top 10 because "Its a good one of those"
I wish I had at least played enough RDR2 to have a sense of whether or not I care about being spoiled, lol. I've actively disliked the writing in almost every Rockstar game, but this one gets so much praise that I wonder if I should skip past discussion about it. I guess I should just to be safe.
But it was an option though. Literally the first thing that you get to do was telling her to fuck off.
God of War is #1 for 2 people. Same as RDR2.
Only difference being that Jeff and Dan really hate RDR2 whereas Jeff/Brad/Alex just felt like God of War wasn't for them.
The highs in RDR2 are so much higher than anything else this year. anything else. Soars above and beyond
OP
OP
My other horse in the race but it is literally not on some lists so, I don't know.
Sweet, sweet folks here still thinking after all this time that RDR2 has a chance. That they'll actually give GOTY to a game that multiple staff members actively hated, just because some others like it that much. That's what these personal lists are for. The staff list still has to, to some degree, represent their collective opinions. Even the most contentious GOTY picks, like Skyrim or Mario Maker, none of the staff actively hated the winners.
Ya'll need to wake up, RDR2 has no chance.

If we are thinking like that maybe it ends up being Tetris effect first, Dead Cells second, God of War and Red Dead in whatever order next? Maybe they love Dragon Ball FighterZ and Into the Breach enough for Red Dead to end up being 7 or 8?
