I wasn't especially interested in Wukong besides it being a videogame adaptation of one of my favorite myths...but goollllllyyyy that trailer just hooked me.

I can't wait for Internet Historian's The Engoodening of Light No Fire. That's gonna be fire lol
So are you saying that if the game awards was not chosen by "critics" but rather by your average gamer, then BG3 would take home all the awards?
out tonight, unsure if this was known beforehand or just a rumour
Monster Hunter?
YES holy shit.
PC hurray!
2025.
YES holy shit.
PC hurray!
2025.
Monster Hunter Wilds for 2025 is perfect for me, gives me time to go through Iceborne (going through it currently) and Rise, plus I intend to upgrade my graphics card in 2025.
It looked so different with that thing instead of the palamute and the little monsters shown weren't so familiar either, it was the sword that made me guess it.
BG3 taking down Zelda is super impressive. I don't think anyone saw that coming early in the year.
They're probably going for seamless open world shit so individual assets don't look quite next gen, but it will do a ton of shit like the weather, massive herds, free interactions instead of the rigid monster clashes, true ecosystem simulations and more. It's kinda not the direction I wanted the series to take even though folks clamor for that decades now as despite its simulation and immersing aspects it's also always been humourous and instant action friendly and arcade like in a weird Japanese amalgam of different clashing aspects that just worked, but I'm sure they know what they're doing so fingers crossed it's amazing.

Just found out that guy is from my country LOOOOOL. Viva Venezuela en esta mierda caballero
We're going to find out in two hours that Matan Even knocked out Timothee Chalomet and masqueraded as him on stage.
Lol, Deck gleam thing let me in after queues at 6:03 or something and it said it ended 6:00 (but Idk maybe all 100 were given already earlier? I still hoped a bit).
Deserved win for BG3, loved every part of that game.
Soooo long. Only made it through thanks to a watch-along with Vtubers. (Pomu + Elira)
Not enough anime for me.
Congrats to BG3.

I think this show was kind of a flop. I found myself tabbed out for a majority of the announcements (and ads of course) and it was just embarrassing that they were trying to get the winners off the stage in like 12 seconds so they could let Kojima ramble about nothing for 10 minutes or have geoff fuck around with some muppet again. It's becoming clearer keighley is just using these events to appeal to his desires.
I feel like that has too many spoilers but it's so out of context I don't know what to think lol
The hungry purple dinosaur ate the kind zingy fox, the jabbering crab and the mad whale and started vending and quacking.
I will say the best part about the show was BG3 taking home the prize. We now live in a time where a turn based CRPG was not only nominated for goty but won it and against a bunch of titans. This wasn't some filler year like 2021 they had to go up against a goddamn zelda game, a remake of one of the greatest games of all time, a Sony heavy hitter, a mario game and also compete with a mainline Final Fantasy release and Todd Howard game. No one could have predicted this last July let alone at the start of this year before any of these games came out.
We'll probably never see a scenario like this again in gaming. It had to outperform so many juggernauts.

I feel like people always say "the show was great, all those new trailers and announcements" and like... that's such a tiny part of the show. Sure the trailers are exciting, I love a good trailer. But the SHOW was bad and to be honest, an insult to the medium and its' fans and creators.
Walking winners off in an insanely short amount of time, even mid-speech about a PERSON THAT DIED DURING DEVELOPMENT on their team.
Tons and tons of ads (pretending that trailers aren't ads, for the sake of argument).
Giving a bunch of good PR to a game studio that just a couple weeks ago had a big report out about how toxic they are.
Geoff completely ignored hundreds of devs, journalists, and peers that wanted to push for a statement for Palestine, even though they did something similar for Ukraine last year (yay blatant racism).
Geoff also ignored the calls from devs and journalists to make any point about the insane layoffs in game studios this year despite record breaking releases and profits across many of the same companies.
I know many movie and TV awards shows are held in disdain but I feel like people are equating trailers to the show being good which is just strange

I hope I don't come off as a dick, and Mods please delete this message if you feel it will only take the thread in the wrong direction:
Can't compare the two. Russia attacked Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting back and many innocent Russians are also dying.
Hamas attacked Israel. Israel is fighting back and many innocent Palestinians are also dying.
This is not racism, that's the world we live in and if you don't understand that then you're either too young, or are being ignorant. This should would lose ad revenue, sponsors, it's future would be in doubt if he allowed pro-Palestine statements on it.
I agree with him not allowing any pro-Israel pro-Palestine shit into this.

I feel like in general there is a lot of stuff that is more wrong with the game awards in general.
I still think it is rather dumb with how they show the faces of the nominees and you can clearly see the disappointment of those that didn't win. There are those that likely knew that they were not going to win and then there were those that seemed like they were in genuine shock that they didn't win (making them look arrogant), I didn't pay attention to every single person, but at least two of the people that did seem genuinely shocked that they didn't win were the FFXIV devs (for best ongoing game) and also Nintendo for game for the year. They looked very disappointed.
I'm still confused as to why there is a "pre-show" and then a regular show.
Isn't part of the award show meant for handing out awards? or is there a particular reason for why they skip some games? Is is just because those games don't have people there to receive the award?
I won't say that the game awards are the worst thing ever since they do serve a purpose and overall I would say that people do like the idea behind them. They still do have issues overall, but nothing is ever going to be perfect and It was always going to be all over the place.
I also don't feel like they do a good job of really celebrating games.
Also selling a lot of ad space, but hey you got to pay the bill somehow since hosting a gameshow is not cheap. Also it would be funny if part of the shows budget is specifically designed so that Kojima does show up every year.
Part of my issues is how Geoff has criticized (or maybe I am mistaken) the Oscars and stuff like that, but he is still engaging in some of the bad practices that make the Oscars bad.

I really think you need to evaluate where you get your information. Hamas is wildly unpopular in Palestine, and just as this genocide is wildly unpopular in Israel. Additionally, Israel is directly targeting Palestinian journalists (a war crime), their families (a war crime), gaza itself for the past MANY DECADES is an open-air concentration camp being illegally settled on (a war crime). Additionally Hamas has received financial support FROM Netanyahu's government, and the Israel government + defense knew about this planned attack... last year. At did nothing to prevent it.
Israel has killed somewhere in the area of 14,000-15,000 civilians so far, in a bit over 2 months. They are intentionally targeting civilian houses, apartments, hospitals, etc.
Israel officials have stated, publicly, they are committing genocide, and intend to continue. This isn't some conspiracy theory from the shadows, this is literally stuff Israel has posted.
I say this as an American, who's government is propping up this insane, inhumane nonsense: There is no acceptable civilian casualty. There is no acceptable genocide. The overwhelming majority of PEOPLE are against Israel officials here, including Israelis.
Edit to add: The fact so many people just inherently say "can't compare the two" is pretty indicative of the racism involved. They don't see the 15,000 dead Palestinian women, children, and men as people, they're just Hamas supporters. Even though even statistically, they aren't.
This genocide (and it is a genocide) is on Israel. I GUARANTEE there are more Hamas members now, after what Israel is doing, than there were before October. This is exactly how you create extremists, and guarantee you have a bogeyman to rail against and try to keep political power as a "guardian".

This image summarizes some of the issues that I have with the Game Awards, and yes I'm sure that there is likely a lot more context and how the people that are "talking" are meant to be what people tune in for, or something like that. Also the devs giving the speech, I would imagine are not paying for the event to happen. So less devs winning awards talking and more presenters, since either we paid them to be there or they paid us.
-----------------
Dang I guess there is sadly going to be PS exclusive content for the game. Why do I say that? Because they have done it in the best and Capcom has a history

I think we should move on tbh. This is one of those topic that will always lead to negative outcomes, and this forum isn't about that. I
All I'll say is, you need to think as a non-American. Don't think as an American. Barring the Middle East most people I come across (and my service has meant I work in different countries every 3-4 years on different continents) are with Israel not since now, but since the last war. The way it's playing out is not the way it should have because as with all wars, the innocent get hurt whilst the people who should be are hiding safely away.
And again, there will be many people on both sides. But honestly let's just leave it.
Oh hey, GTA V finally dropped below 10€ on Steam. That is a price I am comfortable paying.
I know that some anime games are region locked in Japan. I wonder how much it must cost Bandai in order to get those licensing rights
I won't bog down the thread more after this, but if a person cannot come out against genocide, they are not a reasonable, healthy human. I wasn't suggesting Americans have a perfect view, rather that the country that is MOST propping up Israel, and also the country that has committed the most war crimes itself across the world in the past like 70 years, THOSE PEOPLE are coming out in droves saying "this is fucking bad".
I'm not defending Palestine from my own perspective (although I like to think I'd be against civilian bombings even if Palestinians weren't pleading for help), I'm listening to the people there and what they are showing the world, and also actual experts. Also, like... learning from history. The Israel colonization of Palestinian people has generally been known as "bad" for decades, and the results of that are seeing an explosion now. Indigenous peoples from all over the world, themselves pretty fucking knowledgeable in the horrors of colonialism, are standing up for Palestinians. People in Ireland, US, Canada, Mexico, all over South America, UK, Germany, France (some EU countries making those protests specifically illegal to try and curb public support for stopping Israel's genocide), and even Ukraine which does frankly have some other stuff to worry about. Palestinians even have the support of progressives, liberals, and conservatives here in the US, basically unheard of in modern day. It's largely only the leaders, actively ignoring the will of the people, of the countries that are allowing this genocide to continue.
I don't know who these people are you're finding in the past 2 months standing with Israel, but they are uninformed or they are bad people. All those people who said "the holocaust wouldn't happen today, we wouldn't allow it".... well, another one is happening right now (actually more than one, there's also the one happening in the Congo which also is seeing very little condemnation from any people in power but at least they aren't using our tax dollars to directly bomb civilians there).
If you live in a European country, or the US, your government is openly supporting genocide of millions of people under the exceedingly false guise of not being anti-semitic (there are anti-semitic groups supporting the Israel invasion - that alone should raise eyebrows). There are tons of Jewish groups coming out publicly against Zionism and the genocide of Palestine by Israel. I am more than happy to stand with them, and the millions and millions of other people condemning this.
The October 7th attack by Hamas was horrific - obviously, all successful terrorist attacks are, that's the point. The fact they were allowed to by the Israeli forces, and Netanyahu and his extremist right wing government pals are using that as an excuse to target civilians and wipe out infrastructure required for millions of people, is way more horrific. Israel government has killed more than 10 times as many innocent people now as the Hamas attack, and they have stated they do not intend to stop. That's not how you get rid of a terrorist group - that's how you ensure they will always exist. It's not how Israeli people want to heal from a wound, it's how you generate infinitely more suffering.
