Overall, this was MUCH better than the atrocity last year.

 

[TheSlySoul]

First half was 3/10, Second half 8/10 ... So 5/10.

 

[Abhor]

Welp, managed to stick around for the whole thing. A few good moments, but otherwise very underwhelming.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Is that comic sans I see in the credits?

I liked the awards, definitely needs polish but it's really a huge step in the right direction.

 

[NeoGIF]

I must say, it was a really good show. Bravo to Geoff for stepping it up.

 

[Zomba13]

So who won:
Best Family Game
Best RPG
Best Action/Adventure
Best Remaster

?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

thanks Geoff! much better then the old VGAS

 

[ironcreed]

It really doesn't but we all have opinions.

It really does, but some of us don't have eyes.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Solid showing. Good first effort.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Legit try, Geoff my man.

 

[Vyrance]

Great job on the show Geoff! Only thing I'll see is to cut it down to about 2 hours for next time.

 

[KennyKen]

show was pretty good overall

Spoiler

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Midn1ght]

Come on...it wasn't that bad ! I enjoyed it ! Good job Goeff !

 

[Brinbe]

I don't know. I'm glad people are excited about it, but do you want me to lie and say it was amazing and looked like something I hadn't already seen or experienced in something like a SotC or Skyrim or any similar game in the last ten-fifteen years or so. What was compelling about that except it was Link?

Anyway, that was a classier show than what we got in the past and props to Geoff for putting it together. It's always a nice E3-type event in December.

 

[MortalMonkey]

Decent show, but too long and too many musical performances. Again, it was decent overall.

 

[Majine]

This was better than VGX and the VGAs ever was. Hopefully he can keep this going.

 

[Neiteio]

You should write for Eurogamer

I was being sincere. Don't you doubt my love for Nintendo.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Nicely done Geoff, better than last year!

 

[J-Tier]

6.2/10 Could be improved, I'd like to see this continue and improve next year though. I enjoyed it overall.

 

[Karu]

Good job, Geoff, good job!

I also would have said that without Zelda, but.... killer ending!

 

[Monocle]

It's about the best game, not the riskiest or safest choice.

Bayonetta 2 would probably still come out on top honestly. It's insanely good.

 

[BakedYams]

was a nice homage, loved the show this year. people expecting megatons should watch psx tomorrow

 

[petethepanda]

He was the woo guy video games deserves, but not the one we need right now.

 

[Lord Morairty007]

Congrats to Geoff Keighley for pulling this off pretty well. Joel McHale destroyed it last year.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

i did it

 

[MindGamingMantis]

The show was fucking solid. Great job, Geoff. Ignore the haters.

 

[janoDX]

I rate this 7/10

VGX for me was a 2/10
VGA 12 was 5/10

This is a step in the right direction.

 

[Servbot #42]

HA NO FALLOUT 4 GUYS!!!! WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!!!!! YOU WANTED A TRAILER REVEAL? FUCK YOU.

XOXO Bethesda

 

[Revolutionary]

It was pretty decent. Too much Nintendo keynote, though. I think it would be a good idea to have performances of songs from nominated games next year as well.

 

[Violater]

This was pretty good. Geoff keep it up.

 

[qualitydisc]

Also. At least they didn't play that welcome to the new age song haha this was tastefully understated

Oh jeez is that the same band? I almost liked them for a second.

 

[Hubbl3]

The pack of wild stallions running through the woods with Link and Epona was glorious.

Also, Bill and Ted confirmed for Zelda Wii U!

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Show was great, Zelda looked like Witcher 3 lite. Salty about Bayo 2 but happy about Shovel Knight. Good night, folks!

 

[Morfeo]

All in all a great show. Definitely tuning in next year if they are keeping it like this. Just drop the comedians, and it will be even better.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Good show. Congrats to Geoff.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

good catch, i enjoyed the mash up

 

[MormaPope]

C'mon guys, lets not pretend the way the newest Zelda was shown was bizarre as fuck. What Rockstar did with Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3 pre-release are the optimal ways of presenting gameplay. Zelda Wii-U still needs some time in the oven, that's obvious. The direction they're going in and what they're doing with the franchise is commendable though.

 

[KdMgMan]

Are we grading this ? Deserve a B

 

[TuXx]

Show was meh, but it was definitely better than last year. Geoff really tried to redeem himself for last year's debacle

 

[Easy_D]

What won game of the year?

A game that's been out a few weeks.

 

[Hex]

Great show all around
Fantastic mix of everything, great vids Lindsey Stirling was great as always and the last musical number with Kondo and Imagine Dragons was amazing.
Good stuff all around.
Light years better than last year.

 

[PhantomHound]

Great job.

So much better than last years train wreck.

 

[Renpatsu]

TGA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> VGX

Edit: They need to mix the sound better next year though.

 

[UltraGunner]

That award show was just =/

 

[Azure Dream]

Gamers are funny

"Wont be happy unless the Nintendo reveal is something major"

-shows new Zelda footage, confirms 2015 release date, and mentions Star Fox also.

"Game looks bad, not good enough."

Ok then.

They spent half of the time not even touching the control stick as a horse sprinted through fields.

In true Nintendo fashion, we weren't allowed to have the game footage on the entire screen because... they think that's a good thing?

They mentioned Star Fox. They name-dropped it, promised it's going to be here before Zelda in 2015, yet refuse to show it. That's weird and uncomfortable.

 

[Iastfan112]

I don't care what others say, I enjoyed the show. Sure there were some things that could be smoothed out(more awards on stage please) but I sincerely hope it makes a return next year. Kudos to Geoff Keighley for doing this.

 

[Mechanized]

Zelda stuff looked rough, and the way it was presented was anti-hype.

 

[Darksol]

Gotta love people that judge Zelda on the footage that was shown. The biggest thing you should take away from it, is how different this game is compared to other Zeldas. It's huge in scope, you have so much freedom. Take that with the level of quality of Zelda games and you have some hype right there.

Yeah, how dare people judge things that they see. /s

 

[Pattycakes]

rip Fallout 4

Never forget Survivor2299. Bethesda's going to be super careful about not releasing anything with the game until they're ready.

 

[SRTtoZ]

9/10 IMO. Wasnt perfect but it had the right intentions. No bullshit. Compared to VGA's this was the first show I've ever sat through entirely.
