Wait, wasn't there supposed to be a Best Ending award? Or am I going insane for listening to 4 hours of beauty?

I thought they talked about that as well. A conversation about Batman, Portal and Saints Row would have been great!

I remember them specifically stating in the Best Story podcast that there would be a Best Ending category. I guess that got cut midway through deliberations? If so, Saints Row was ROBBED.

Dude, Portal 2 would have won that easily.

I mean in the Best Story category, though you're probably right. I'm just bitter that they totally dismissed the ending in which

I definitely preferred the Saints ending, but at GB, I agree that Portal 2 was kind of a lock, especially now that we really know Brad's feelings on Saints.

@Little_Socrates: Hahaha yeah he really hates it. Oh wait, he really doesn't.

Brad was right about Batman. I own two copies of the game, but Brad was right about Batman.

I disagree with you and will fight you about it.

@Dany: Nintendo might have a weird stipulation on how much they might be able to show... or they just forgot.

Better than Vinny trying to show off spoilers in Witcher 2! (amazing game!)

Is it wrong I kind of want to play Blackwater now?

GIANTBOMB, WHAT IS YOUR BEST GAME ENDING?

You guys outdid yourself for GOTY in 2011.

I'm with hollitz on this one. Arkham City's not bad but it made me kind of hate the Batman character, and it just plain wasn't as fun and exciting as Asylum.

No dragon age II for worst game of the year?

Although it was horrible in context of the awesomeness that was Origins, I still played all the way through it and had a decent time with it.

Biggest disappointment yes, but no way in hell was it the worst game of the year.

You know what Zelda game had excellent swimming in it? Majora's Mask motherfuckers!!

Sexy.

That screenshot for Blackwater makes me lol every time...

Well... yes. However it is very right to wish for a quick look

Hey assholes, DNF wasn't a bad game. Go fuck yourself for listing it as a runner-up to worst game of the year.

Don't know if serious...

@RsistncE: The thing is, America's army= FUCK YA LET'S GO KILL BAD GUYS WOHHHHHHHHH

Blackwater= FUCK YA LETS GO RAPE AND KILL CHILDREN FOR MONEY!!!!!

dont get me wrong i know about vietnam and the oldly high amount of white 30ish year olds in vietnam

Im amazed the beloved Motion sports Adrenaline didn't make this list, ok its no rider meet horse horse meet rider but it still seemed pretty bad!

Blackwater wins the coveted Most Perfectly Bearded Dude Award

While I don't really care, it's pretty sad that (almost) every argument Brad had for games he thought should've won any category was "they fixed it over time" (Dead Island) and also stuff like "that shouldn't win because the PC version was busted" (Renegade Ops) and when it came to Skyrim, it was the most incredible experience this year BUT he did not care for the Playstation 3 version being unplayeble. Again, I don't care... But Brad, please...

I'm guessing you're also the type of person who thinks postal workers have a 100% chance of going on a shooting rampage, and that all video gamers are growing up to be rampaging school shooters and go on crime sprees.

I love stereotyping.

I like how GiantVinny.com goes to the Saint's Row website.
