that stuff was fun in a dumb way but the protagonist, the setting, and all the boating did nothing for me

but I also didn't hate AC3 so maybe ignore my opinions on this series

I'd rather them drop all the musical acts (or trim it down to one or two)* so they can actually have all the awards presented properly on stage. This is an awards show after all. I understood when they had all the musical acts and celebrities when Spike had The VGA/VGX's because it had to be mainstream. The past few Game Awards haven't felt all that much different from those (there just are less non-gaming centric celebs as there used to be).

*And any music that is used, in my mind, should be related to a game that is nominated (i.e. the Doom music performance)

bish gets all the credit :)
Mass Effect, loot game with shitty shooter controls and wooden acting. I guess if you're a SciFi nerd it's exciting.

I want to love this game but that did nothing for me really. Bad facial animation, janky looking combat, mediocre dialogue. Ugh, I want this game to be good so bad.

I just wanted more ME3 combat :( that side dash looks kinda cool I guess.

You know what I really like in games? Battle arenas where you can fight through various ranks and win loot and money and other shit. I think every game should have one.

Literally nothing that has been shown of Mass Effect: Andromeda has inspired any confidence in me that it will be a good/remarkable game. It's all been very boring and by the books. Nothing stands out. Not the characters that have been shown. The story setup is somewhat interesting, but nothing that's been shown of that has made it seem like it'll pan out. The inevitable and hinted at "dark ancient evil" seems like well-worn territory. Gameplay looked serviceable and even pretty fun with new biotic abilities, but I'm not really playing ME just for the gameplay.

Series has gone off a cliff with Mass Effect 3. I am so disappointed.

Mass Effect as a franchise went off a cliff with 2, when it sacrificed everything the series was trying to be at the altar of A for Awesome. Atmosphere, worldbuilding, story... gone, in favour of spectacular action setpieces.

Don't get me wrong: ME2 is a good, fun game; but as a Mass Effect game it's awful.

It is well known that in the grim darkness of the future, there is only war.

Still without luck
I can't wait until the bombcast where Brad brings up the game awards, having not watch it or read anything about it, and defends it.

So I'm glad I built furniture instead of this awards, correct?

FF XV gave people hope that a big JRPG series could rebound from self-inflicted doldrums. That hope died tonight.
