What wins win shall win

 

[TheOGB]

Why do you guys always make it racial when people talk shit about rap? That's such a weak defense.

As a black guy I get a sick kick out of it

 

[RawNuts]

I thought the Lutece Twins were the best part of Assassin's Creed IV honestly.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

I disagree.
99% of GAF could cobble together a list that would please most viewers, and also be relatively feasible (not games like Shenmue 3 etc)
Gamers aren't all jaded, they just don't care for shit like this, being treated like morons.

This thread and its reactions actually says the contrary.

It was an awful show, but some of the gaf reactions were no much better.

 

[Bookoo]

Wow that's fucking racist.
Who is this guy? Is he a developer or something?

Don't really think that is a racist thing to say. Just sounds like the only rap he has ever heard is on the radio and Macklemore has a pretty mainstream song about gay acceptance.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

real talk.

the guy on the stage right now sounds off as hell though. yikes.

If that guy wasn't closing, I would have said bring back the hip-hop. His voice. What happened to it.

Either he's sick or the dude is just that horrible live...

 

[IrishNinja]

Desperation.

This.

right, it can't be that a predominantly black genre being entirely dismissed as "not music" is the kind've ignorance with historic ties to such ugliness, must be something more pleasant

 

[The Last Wizard]

Man this show made me feel that next-gen was rushed. Where are the video games?? Half the games are releases of previous gen games...

I feel the same, but last gen took so long how could they not be readier?

 

[SJRB]

So where was Cliffy's shit? Was he just trolling everyone [including Geoff] or what?

 

[Arkos]

Man I tuned in a few times but it really was painfully awkward and not very interesting. I usually like McHale but something didn't seem to work there, he seemed out of place.

Love Joel Banderas though, screw the haters

 

[Averon]

Yeah. Sony not showing wasn't a bad call in retrospect

 

[Je5usPiece]

So I must ask...what was Nintendos big announcement?

 

[Gen X]

I asked this earlier but it might've been missed but does anyone have a link to the entire Naughty Dog acceptance speech from start to finish?

If it weren't for Joel, I would have tuned out after the first 5 minutes.

Same, I actually enjoyed his presence more than I initially thought I would. Not always reading off the teleprompter and being called out for it was awesome.

 

[viveks86]

So where was Cliffy's shit? Was he just trolling everyone [including Geoff] or what?

He backed out at the last minute saying it wasn't ready yet. May be he was trolling all along. Who knows!

 

[SoraanTribal]

Considering the other options, they were really the only good choice.

 

[TheOGB]

So I must ask...what was Nintendos big announcement?

I could tell you, but it might make you cranky

 

[Captain Star]

The Gametrailers Twitch broadcasting account was hilariously candid during this trainwreck.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Why are you guys treating this like a legitimate awards show? Its just marketing dressed up as an awards show. Whoever pays the most wins...If you look at the winners those are also mysteriously the games that got the most media attention on gaming sites like IGN with big media blowouts. It's not a coincidence. The awards themselves mean nothing.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So I must ask...what was Nintendos big announcement?

Cranky Kong in the new DKC game. Not even joking either.

 

[Cyberia]

Full of shit.

 

[Twilight Princess]

did joel become more dickish towards GK after reggie left the stage? he was relatively tame in the beginning.

 

[jmcoo7]

The Gametrailers Twitch broadcasting account was hilariously candid during this trainwreck.

Yeah they realised it was a farce, good for them.

 

[IrishNinja]

So I must ask...what was Nintendos big announcement?

they're still makin' stuff

I could tell you, but it might make you cranky

okay this answer was way better

 

[Gen X]

So I must ask...what was Nintendos big announcement?

Cranky Kong in DKTF. :lol

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I generally like the show. Much improved over last year. The X rebrand thing is silly though. I saw a lot of people hating on McHale but for the most part he was enjoyable to me.

 

[Gorillaz]

So where was Cliffy's shit? Was he just trolling everyone [including Geoff] or what?

He wasn't ever going to show. It was always a troll attempt

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Next gen came out less than a month ago in terms of sony and microsoft.
be mad at nintendo. they came out wayy back

LOL why cant we be mad at everyone

No one brought their surprise AAA game to the show

 

[ionicbluebird]

*pumps fist*

GO GTA V

LAST OF US WAS ROBBED! That is a stolen award! Seriously.

 

[Troubleman1990]

Don't really think that is a racist thing to say. Just sounds like the only rap he has ever heard is on the radio and Macklemore has a pretty mainstream song about gay acceptance.

So because Macklemore is pro gay, all the other Mainstream rappers like Nas, Jay-z, Mos Def, say nonsense?

This guy is weird, just looked at his videogame discography yeah all wack games that I never cared about(aside from Unreal tournament, but it fell off).
Yeah his videogame game ain't stepped up.

and if Macklemore really about being pro gay he'd diss eminem for still using gay slurs in 2013.
But he won't cuz he's scared, and is only using that pro gay platform for sales apparently.

 

[Dekanach]

And they don't played 'El Rey y yo'.

Frauds.

 

[E92 M3]

It's sad that the pope tried to bring relevance back to this production, only to be killed by Joel's complete disregard for the industry and mockery of the developer interviews.

 

[SexyFish]

Full of shit.

Well I'm sure he did hear playstation fans.

 

[Je5usPiece]

Reggie is smoking reg.

 

[Kadayi]

The traversal stuff looks great.,.but seriously zombies again...

 

[viveks86]

Full of shit.

No he did hear us.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

right, it can't be that a predominantly black genre being entirely dismissed as "not music" is the kind've ignorance with historic ties to such ugliness, must be something more pleasant

Hey, I didn't not play GTA:SA because of the black people uhhh I didn't play it because uhhhh I couldn't relate! Yeah, that's why!

 

[Derrick01]

right, it can't be that a predominantly black genre being entirely dismissed as "not music" is the kind've ignorance with historic ties to such ugliness, must be something more pleasant

If it helps I don't consider all this electronic shit where you sit behind a computer and flip some switches music either. It's not a racial thing and you can try harder then using it as a crutch to defend something you like.

and no I didn't like that wailing that came on last either. I guess I'm not doing my duties as a white guy by saying that though.

 

[Troubleman1990]

LOL why cant we be mad at everyone

No one brought their surprise AAA game to the show

They probably didn't care, I mean reggie had to come to fix the wii u sales lol.

 

[Quirah]

so which game won the most anticipated award?
http://www.spike.com/vgx/most-anticipated-game

 

[MissFatality]

I think the one thing that made me hate this year's show is Joel totally disrespected the guy who was talking about No Man's Sky. His "joke" was so down right rude. I think this whole show would've been better without Joel's unnecessary jokes and terrible sarcasm.

 

[daveo42]

Joel Banderas gif and No Man's Sky were about the best bits we got out of all VGX. Rest was pretty shit. Still surprised at the lack of anything Sony at the show.

 

[BeekleMatter]

Geoff + Sessler +2 hours + ACTUAL GAMES = A good VGX

Joel has no interview experience and they clearly said "just make jokes".

 

[simples]

Trevor was robbed

fuck the lettuce twins

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

I'm not sure why people are so bothered by this show. I thought it was somewhat tolerable until the musical number. I'm not saying it was good, but it's most definitely been worse in the past.

Also, Sony really needs to show some exclusive PS4 games for fucks sake. I've been banging this drum for months now, and I was told to wait for Gamescom, and then I was told to wait for TGS, and then I was told to wait for the VGAs. Whelp.
.

-Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
-Rime
-Hell Divers
Were announced at Gamescom and are PS4 exclusives

They announced some PS4 exclusives at TGS too.

Clearly after wasting 3 hours of my life watching the VGX I can safely say that it was best that they kept an Uncharted 4 debut off of here. They will want an audience of millions to know it exists and I doubt that amount would have stayed around....

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Never again. I will not fall for this again.

 

[mercenar1e]

Geoff heres us! next year hes going to co host the show with pewdiepie

 

[captmorgan]

The highlight of the show is when the guy said "I sit on the toilet backwards so I can poop while I eat"

 

[wildfire]

The best reviewed game this year won GOTY? WHAT A FUCKING TRAVESTY!

Fuck you. Just because a game sells a shit ton of copies doesn't mean it's supposed to be a great game. If it was, Call of Duty would win GOTY year in and year out. I enjoyed the game. A lot. GTA V was GREAT. People reviewed it well, and it deserved every one of those ratings.

But The Last of Us was a MASTERPIECE. It was the only game with an ending that could make me cry. I will play this game for so long or at least until the PS5 comes out. I'm just disappointed that people keep crying out for new IPs and now that they get one, they still choose the same old formula. Awards should be decided on CONTENT, not Metacritic rating, troll.

*blinks*

 

[Draper]

Geoff + Sessler +2 hours + ACTUAL GAMES = A good VGX

Joel has no interview experience and they clearly said "just make jokes".

I'd like that formula.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I think the one thing that made me hate this year's show is Joel totally disrespected the guy who was talking about No Man's Sky. His "joke" was so down right rude. I think this whole show would've been better without Joel's unnecessary jokes and terrible sarcasm.

Yea, I didn't like that "do you have time to wash yourself," or whatever it was joke either. Very disrespectful.
