as a dj and producer i can say with confidence that you don't need headphones to mix tracks. it helps, but if you have a set play list and know the music you are mixing it isn't a necessity

Yeah, you can pretty much sync on any medium now. I don't even know why I posted that. I'm sure he was just launching clips in Ableton, but it didn't even seem like he was doing that for some reason.

 

[Maverick T51]

The ending was kind of a letdown, but other than that, not bad.

 

[Wadiwasi]

This was really bad....had some ok moments. The CD Projekt Red guy was super excited to win and he was so happy, but most everything was awful.

Some of the previous ones (when on Spike TV) had awesome performances (Tenacious D, Avenged Sevenfold) and there was just more production value put into it so it didn't feel like a bunch of people coming together like "Eh.....videogames, whatever"

Probably doesn't bring in enough profit to warrant a large production budget, but I just felt embarrassed for a lot of the people working it. At least we'll get some good memes

 

[Toa TAK]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Naw, it was awesome.

 

[Linkyn]

Best shooter?

Splatoon.

 

[NateDrake]

Seems a bit harsh.

I thought the show was good. It's definitely starting to build a nice foundation and considering this is only the second year it's definitely going to continue to get better.

This yr wasn't as good as last year.

Missed this, is there an archive somewhere?

[balgajo]

I thought Nintendo was going to show something, even if not Zelda.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

I had a good time. Jade was slightly awkward, and she's probably going to have a bit of regret in the morning, but she probably had her fun as well.

The ending of the should could've been better, I admit. But, good improvement overall.

 

[213372bu]

Come on now Jim, you're better than this.

Spoiler

[randomlee26]

Post-show: Reggie "but we did show Nintendo content during Deadmau5!"

 

[Pie and Beans]

Feel bad for Geoff. Wasn't as good as last years, fell flat, and highlights seemed to be drunk speaker and throwing shade which... probably isnt for the best?

Keep up the good work, but if you can afford it, drop out the music segments unless its a videogame vocal like the MGSV one or the Koji Kondo set.

 

[RazielCuts]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

What the eff, Jim? The show was fine. Not megabuster lose your shit but it was perfectly okay. And the awards I felt were earned by the winners, no random like 'Wha?' moments.

Spoiler

But still though, Rocket League best racing game? C'mon now, that's not a racing game.

 

[Karak]

GAF has such thin skin, that was like the mildest jab ever.

Ya. No doubt. Kef is probably in the back wrestling trees anyway

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

You could, you know, turn off the stream? Nobody is making you watch it lol. What you're saying makes no fucking sense lol. Wouldn't be more of a issue if they had it before the last award thing?

It's pretty standard to leave the most hype thing for last. The only reason anybody watched past The Witcher 3 being named the GOTY was because we were expecting a final world premiere. Not a performance from Deadmau5. Yes, it would make more sense for him not to be the finale, considering it's a show about gaming, not music.

You really think that line of thinking is unreasonable?

 

[Aaronrules380]

I thought Nintendo was going to show something, even if not Zelda.

Keighley fucking lied about it, that's why

 

[smisk]

The reveals were disappointing but everything else was pretty great. Bravo Geoff!!

 

[-Horizon-]

Done in 15 minutes. Had to contribute something to all of this.

lmao

 

[The Real Napsta]

So what happened with Jade Raymond?

 

[entremet]

People complaining about adverts don't seem to live in the real world.

These shows don't pay for themselves.

 

[Indignate]

Kiefer goes to actual award shows where they make jokes like that all the time.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

 

[Innolis]

It was an entertaining show, a bit light on reveals, but overall good imo.

Nice Konami bashing, and the Iwata tribute was also nice.

Bloodborne not winning anything is a fucking travesty though.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

They couldn't get a composer to do an ending performance? I wasn't feeling this Dead Mouse person. If not a composer Kirby's Dream Band would've been better.

 

[traveler]

You don't need to think up conspiracy theories to see why the Witcher won. The media that votes on these things always a strong predisposition towards the big WRPGs/ western open worlds in general.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm not mad at DeadMau5 wasn't his fault. But how did Geoff think that was the way to end it. Guess no devs wanted to give out scoops. PSX must have bought them all.

 

[Zalman]

Iwata tribute and Konami call-out were the highlights for me.

 

[RK9039]

I'm SOOOOO glad i wasted two hours watching a shitty version of last years show.
Bloodborne or MGSV should have been GOTY, not Dragon Age Inquisition #2
Garbage premiers
Garbage deadmouse ending
No kojima

 

[ryseing]

all that end performance made me want to do is watch the amazing music performance from last year.

Koji Kondo + imagine dragons

Yeah, that was what I was hoping for from the Chvrches performance. Ian and Martin are well known Destiny fans- would have been awesome for them to do a collab with Bungie's composer on stage.

 

[Lunar15]

I can't believe they had Undertale cosplay at the TGA.

 

[jett]

Seems a bit harsh.

I thought the show was good. It's definitely starting to build a nice foundation and considering this is only the second year it's definitely going to continue to get better.

Absolutely not. As long as Keighley is in charge of these things, it's always going to be the same thing. He's the common denominator here, every year.
It's a really shitty awards show. The BAFTA's Game awards puts it to unbelievable shame.

 

[Bright-Light]

Who won mobile game of the year? Please tell me it was Monster Hunter...

I think it was Tomb Raider Go

 

[Toa TAK]

So what happened with Jade Raymond?

She elevated the award show.

 

[FrsDvl]

Gregg Miller speech, Iwata tribute, psychonauts 2, konami jab. It was pretty decent.

 

[lumi7890]

it wasn't terrible, just really boring witch I think is a way worst thing.

 

[Kaban]

Splatoon.

As it should be

 

[iMax]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Seems a little salty. Sterling's been retweeting five year old tweets from Geoff today as well which is really kinda weird.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Seriously. It was Keighley who said we'd see new Nintendo stuff. He's the one to blame for wasting our fucking time

Did he actually say that???

I mean, I heard he did but I want to see a quote because people online all the time put words in peoples' mouths/misrepresent what they actually said.

If he did, poor poor form.

 

[silva1991]

Between Jade and the GAF meltdowns over Bloodborne I've had a fantastic night. Shame there was no huge announcement.

Now time for bed, have to be up in 3 hours for work.

Who is Jade?

 

[RowdyReverb]

Feel bad for Geoff. Wasn't as good as last years, fell flat, and highlights seemed to be drunk speaker and throwing shade which... probably isnt for the best?

Keep up the good work, but if you can afford it, drop out the music segments unless its a videogame vocal like the MGSV one or the Koji Kondo set.

Sounds like they know their audience though

 

[qko]

That GAF is celebrating actions that belonged at the Source Awards (telling a company to fuck off, wasted presenter) I guess is an improvement from onstage teabagging.

 

[Luigi87]

The show this year was pretty good. Definitely better than 2013 and earlier.

 

[somecrazymember]

Worst VGA/VGX/TGA ever. Seriously bad.

When did you start watching these? Lol

It was allright. Probably would have been better if Kojima was there. The music performances were out of place though but some parts were good like Iwata's moment with Reggie's speech and the retrospective of Redwood

 

[JoseLopez]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Oh fucccccckkkk!

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

So much salt. Sterling's been retweeting five year old tweets from Geoff today as well which is really kinda weird.

I'm confused. Why's he doing that?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It was a pretty straight forward, inoffensive approach they took, which also caused the show to be sorta bland. The reveals were very hit and miss too.

 

[Gamer79]

I'm usually really forgiving of the awards each year since they at least have always had some really good announcements but this year they had zero. All the world premieres were things we had already saw.

It was a pretty big disappointed and was bored as fuck all throughout it.

100% agreed. I was watching Football inbetween announcements. The acts they hired were boring and bad. The announcements were pathetic.

 

[His Majesty]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Sterling being an idiot, news at 11. Show was actually decent enough and not too drawn out.

 

[Oersted]

GAF has such thin skin, that was like the mildest jab ever.

Something about this industry being immature

 

[FZZ]

So what happened with Jade Raymond?

Can't handle her liquor
