Why does it seem that Jeff's only arguments against anything in either Limbo or Red Dead are "I dont like it" with no other real explanations?

They should re-name these podcasts to "It's Jeff's way or the high way"
 
Jeff shut the fuck up for a change and let someone else get their way.

After that slightly heated discussion I kinda feel like checking out Limbo for myself. So I think that's what I'm gonna do.

Wow... Brad hating on Darksiders was completely hypocritical. Lost a lot of respect for him ;[

You're not going to connect emotionally with Marston just from reading a fucking synopsis on wikipedia or hearing a friend tell you about it. . "
By your argument, Brad had no business arguing anything against Darksiders.  Jeff at least did play some RDR.

" The fact that Jeff could sit through any other stale, boring, grindy, shitty game (like deadly premonition) and for some illogical reason refuses to even play through one of the best games in recent years (RDR) is frankly absurd.  Bravo to Brad for holding his ground and defending his opinion very well.     If anything, I've lost a lot of respect for Jeff due to his irrational, dismissive attitude.  This isn't about my opinion being different than his, this is about the fact that when your job is to play and review video games, and you outright and without good reason just dismiss perhaps the most critically acclaimed game of the year, that just means you're doing your job wrong.   "
I agree 100%. I had no idea how damn unprofessional Jeff can be. He just sounds like a whiny child here. 
 
Oh, but Mortal Kombat VS DC. Thats a perfect game. Pffft.

It's a shame that some of you didn't played or played enough of Darksiders because it definately deserved to be in the top three if not winner.

Jeff, how can you hate Limbo with such passion?  Even if one doesn't like the gameplay, just looking at the game, it is so unique and striking.  I can appreciate the originality of Heavy Rain despite hating playing the game, the same should apply to this unique gem.

Borderlands is a great game, but best played with friends. I don't think it would hold up as well solo.

I can't fathom that Jeff actually believes, that Limbo took it's art style from Braid. 
I've spoken to the game's AD twice, and he defined the games visuals three years before the game's release. I was a trailer before it was even a game. 
Jeff might know a lot about games, but this was just plain ignorant.

Yeah, because Jeff was totally the one getting all the concessions based on his whining in all the GOTY podcasts...

Exactly, see the best DLC debate.
