The world before and after metrosexual men. The industry would really benefit from a shot of testosterone.

 

[Ocean Dweller]

lol

2004 was genuinely probably the best year of gaming ever. Even the E3 that year was absolutely bangin. I go back and watch those conferences every so often.

Damn that's when games were just about having fun, stayed in their lane, and were being made by a bunch of dudes who didn't care about money.

 

[Insane Metal]

Dat chick's fine tho

Sounds like tons of games these days.

Why do gamers like jeff keighly? Like what has he done? Aside from having a shitty last name.

 

[winjer]

20 years ago, games were made by gamers, for gamers.
Now, most games are made by people that hate games, for an audience that doesn't play videogames.

He established himself on Game Trailers doing interviews with Michael Pachter and other industry people. That's how he became an industry name. His dad is loaded which is why he was able to fund his award show after Game Trailers went kaput.

btw he had several memorable interviews with Reggie Fils Aime during the Wii U years. Geoff was so combative there were times it looked like Reggie was about to pound him into paste. There was also the award show that Joel McHale hosted and Joel spent the enter show dunking on Geoff lol

I mean I don't dislike the guy

But I really can't stand how his eyes always look half-closed or something.

 

[semiconscious]

it's like seeing some poor animal that got its teeth & claws removed...

He's an OG. Don't come for Geoff, he is not the controller of this culture AND he did not bend the knee and remove wukong to add in veilguard like you and I both know they were probably pressuring him to.

Geoff is good people.

He organised trailers/announcements for his show to make the awards somehow important, because without nobody would watch it.

 

[cartman414]

He also did the "Final Hours of" features for various notable games dating back to Half-Life.

remember what they took from us

The celebrities were always there.

Tits?

"We became so serious." Ironically, clownish at the same time.

 

[EverydayBeast]

You can't defend todays culture, back than people loved excitement, now it's all protecting corporate policies.

This is now officially the most true thing I have ever read on the internet.

 

[FunkMiller]

Corporate greed sanitises everything.

Baldur's Gate 3 director, Swen Vincke at The Game Awards, about why games used to be much better than today.

He defended BioWare from a feminist commentator on FoxNews who was accusing BioWare of sexually objectifying their female characters to appeal to men and boys.

There is so much ass backwards about that statement these days that it seems absurd, but here's the proof:

 

[Sgt. Pinback]

This video is amazing. The next idiot who says 'GAMING IS BETTER THAN EVER!!1!!!' needs to be shown this comparison, and then needs a shotgun blast to the face.

Video game culture 20 years ago was fucking awesome. Now it is just more pathetic, lame, weak, watered down, spineless, ball-less garbage for zoomers and women.

 

[Poplin]

damn, 2004 really was focused on catering to 15 year old boys and people who never abandoned that aesthetic.

This is amazing on so many levels.

We really live in a bizzare fucking timeline.

As for the 2004 GOTY show - it was crazy, over the top, and I found it kinda insufferable - but ngl, I am feeling some nostalgia now. We need to bring back hot chicks reading cheat codes xD

 

[EN250]

Aside from the edgyness from those days, it was nice, simple times...

 

[Halo is Back]

Honestly, both versions were cringe for different reasons.

Its 2024 the only first party sony game I bought and finish post console launch was astro bot , and I am so bored with modern games that Im playing for the first time Final Fantasy VI ...

Its the worst generation ever.. coincidentally the first generation with full DEI influence in most western studios .. but its just a coincidence Im sure.

If not by Japan and new markets like China and Korea... it would be a lost gen.
