I wish it had more big trailers from MS/Sony. But they still saving it for their own stuff.

Good show, an hour too long tho

Nah. As long as they have their own showcases, Geoff is getting tablescraps from them.

one day they'll actually show the games nominated in smaller genres

guilty gear strive and all the fighting games got all of 20 seconds and a head nod. want to play the best fighting game of the year you gotta go google that shyt to know what the show is talking about :dead:

There's a clear discrimination and bias against certain genres of games. Like 3 of the GOTY selections were 3rd person character action games. shyt's like the drama category at the Oscars.

They should instead take all the major genres, pick the best of that genre and then decide from there, and also let people vote. Game industry nikkas and journalists are disconnected from what actual gamers like.

Yeah, unfortunately fighting games take too much time to get that good in and are typically solely dependent upon your own skill on the sticks and absolutely nothing else (unlike most other competitve genres) for it to probably ever not be a niche genre.

All main genres should get "proper" award time and trophies.

The game awards has always kinda only focus on what's popular. But now it's basically drifting off from even that....

It's barely an award show, and being in the audience has to be kinda trash. A total of what 8 to 10 people got called up on stage?

He wants to be E3 so bad he about to become the very thing he hates times x5.


With E3 at least it's a hour and a half of games and some marketing then gameplay throughout the week potentially.

The game awards seem to have become a big AD space....


And Sony, Nintendo or MS not winning goty tells me no one coughed up enough collateral for the W

I mean, a very unconventional game won GOTY

I don’t wanna hear about how only “narrative heavy action games” win. It Takes Two is like 50 different games, its the most game-y thing nominated this year
yeah totally not a handout :troll: TGA cares, etc

in a 3 hour and change show that spends a good chunk of that time running trailers for games that ain't coming any time soon or have nothing to show at all, they can make some time to actually show off what makes the noms and winners worth talking about

especially when continuing sales helps everyone more than prospective preorders

but its whatever :manny: they stopped trying to be legit years ago and are more than content occupying space between ms/sony showcases and e3

Ratchet didn't deserve, Nintendo didn't give them anything, and MS isn't allowed to win goty.

Ironically tho, it's also very narratively driven, from what I've heard anyways.
the narrative on It Takes Two is actually kinda fukked up imo.... its a game that could've been just fine if they didn't try and insert some unnecessary subversive shyt that is gonna plainly jolt a lot of people out of a good wholesome time

gameplay wise its fun but i really got a hard time recommending it to people because of some bits
