(+) Yeah! (+)

Alex had a great face response to Brad trying to cut KRZ

I really appreciate Jeff going to bat for Alex on that one
---

I loved almost all of KRZ but Act V makes me want it to get cut. Still a great game!

---

PUBG was such a hilariously awful pick, lol. I mean it was bad at the time, but even more so in retrospect.

---

PUBG was the right pick for that year

---

PUBG was a product of its time.

---

I hate GOTY Brad sometimes

---

I love GOTY Brad

---

SOMETIMES

The only reason Brad isn't still the official villain of GotY is because so many people turned on GotY Abby. Now his crown is unchallenged.

---

at this point they should cut TLOU and AC and bring back FFVII or something
---

Jeff gonna make Ben feel bad for leaving by killing Tom Nook

For one year. Then it was Brad again in 2018 and Jeff "YOU CAN READ IN OUTER WILDS?" Gerstmann in 2019.

Also cut Tony Hawk!

---

imagine trying to cut the 3rd best game of the year in Tony Hawk

---

Oh yeah, to be clear Abby was only the villain for one year, regardless of what people say.

I guess Jeff was the 2019 villain to most, but I also don't like Outer Wilds so I didn't really feel it.

---

With this being live, I can't imagine TH gets cut because they will want to honor the death of Vicarious Visions.

---

Brad feverishly trying to think of a way to keep AC and TLOU2 is entertaining, I'll admit.

or bring back Nioh 2 to give Jason a win. Jason should fight for that, but he's not really a confrontational guy

---

Lol they immediately come back to "So how about making this a Top 11?"

---

Vinny is a hero.
---

This is why Vinny is the hero of GB

---

Heres my breaktime assessment:

13 Sentinels is a lock for the list.

Animal Crossing has support from a huge majority, it should make it.

TLOUII had good arguments, Im surprised it got there but they kind of convinced me.

KRZ only has one supporter.

Tony Hawk is an old game.

Tony Hawks is the one that should go. I can see TLOUII or KRZ, I think TLOUII has the slight edge for staying but its not essential.

---

Goodbye TLoU2

Tony Hawk is safe :D

---

HA HA HA lol Jan is getting a win without even trying, this is great
---

Vinny trying to be purposely confusing with his words to get Ori up


---

Jan did the work to get 13 Sentinels to top ten, and then sat back and let it climb to 7 almost by default.

Masterfully played.

---

is this astros thing really that great?

---

Astros Playroom is genuinely kind of magical. Its an incredible playstation nostalgia trip, and a great showcase for the new controller. On top of that, its a fun, well made platformer with beautiful graphics and great music.

I loved it.
---

Astro is what sells the PS5 as a next gen console

---

I take back everything bad I said about GOTY Brad.

---

Well Hades has this all wrapped up

Consider it...

CALLED

---

Believe in Ichiban

---

definitely gonna play yakuza sometime this year

that being said hades hades hades hades

---

---

Yeah, I don't think Brad is going to be able to get Yakuza over Hades here.

---

5ish weeks until I can finally play Yakuza.

---

can't believe they're making a Jason game #1


---

Congratulations to stealth winner of this discussion Jason
---

What a season, what a season.

---

Excellent GotY winner, excellent GotY proceedings. May be the best ever. I really hope they keep doing this live because it was amazing to see people react and witness the whole thing as it happened.

---

A well deserved celebratory fist pump from Jan as they officially gave 13 Sentinels the 7 spot

Congratulations to stealth winner of this discussion Jason

Jason got his #1 and #2 in the exact order in the overall list. Big ups to him!

---

Yo, is Jason alright? I watched the Day 5 GotY stream and he seemed to be visibly laboring through it. And reading his list, it was all a large series of blurbs as if he sat down with the intent to finish it as fast as possible. I know he's not the most high energy guy, but he seems so much more selective when he speaks now.

---

Jason has had some persistent health issues as he has type 1 (pretty sure) diabetes. It could be that. He did seem very lively talking about PSO so maybe he was just under the weather.

I wouldnt read too much into the list though. As I remember it thats always been his style.

---

I wouldn't talk much either if every time I tried to say something, someone else talked over me. Jason is always getting trod on, usually by Brad but sometimes the other guys as well

---

He did seem upset when his celery stalk market joke wasn't acknowledged with a chuckle and instead used as a jumping off point to further continue bashing Animal Crossing.

---

Im surprised Jason is still here, hes never seemed particularly comfortable on the podcasts or content, even more so than Ben.

---

Yeah, people talk over Jason nonstop on podcasts, it hurts my heart real bad, 'cause he seems so nice and doesn't seem to deserve that!

Although, I appreciated Jason and Ben's quick-blurb-style, of their personal top 10 articles--after 20 hours of podcasts and 500 guest top 10s, it was fun to get some succinct write-ups!!

---

ok Im like two hours into Spiritfarer now and have Yakuza installing

get back to me in like two weeks and I can verify the accuracy of this top three

at some point Id like to check out Ori too and then Ill be able to verify the top 6, but I need to play the first one still
---

Better play 13 Sentinels as well so you can verify the Top 7.

---

I think Jan made great arguments and Im glad he got it on the list, but I still have absolutely no interest in playing 13 Sentinels.
---

I can confirm 13 Sentinels gives Kojima a run for his money in the story department

it's barely a game though there's not much actual gameplay to be had
