The Best Looking section was some of the most mind-boggling and irritating stuff I've heard out of one of these. Every reason that Forza 5 and Uncharted TLL were (rightfully IMO!) taken off for, Destiny 2 is guilty of. Plus, you cannot convince me Destiny 2 looks decidedly better than either of those two games. I feel like Ben's context-deficient Transformers take about the bots in the game set a tone that they couldn't shake. I couldn't even finish the segment because of how annoying it was.
I like Destiny 2 quite a bit but I am totally stunned it was even in the discussion for best looking. Never at any stage playing it did it strike me as visually sensational. Fair enough if it appealed to the team though. It would be silly to be actually annoyed or upset by any of these awards
Brad almost always gets his way during GOTY by doubling down and threatening to filibuster. He never made an argument for Destiny 2 and no one else seemed to think it was in the running, but he wasn't pushing for the top slot, so they just let him have it.
