Get off your high horse. People like different games and get excited by different games, and preferring to spend 3 hours waiting to see the trailers for 10 dollar downloadable titles doesn't make your pseudo-intellectualism any less pseudo.
high horse? pseudo-intellectualism? You're really special, ya know?
Spike and Geoff both talked about an awards show that actually celebrated games, and the people that make them. We have one possible announcement that isn't two hot, and two games from independent developers, one of which put out the VGA GOTY for 2012. That's incredible. That should be exciting to the majority of people.
But nah, by large anyone seems to care about now is the Mass Effects and Elder Scrolls. Games that are coming and are big enough to have their own media events to show off. Nobody actually wanted the show to be the meaningful awards show that celebrate the merits games and the people that help create them on a national stage like the Oscars, they want it to be end of the year E3. Megatons and thirty second CGI trailers.
How exciting and original.
So you duders will get that, next year, when they don't break for popular YouTube gamer guy to do his offensively pandering thing but instead for JEFF HARDY OF IMPACT WRESTLING to deliver the Doritos award and remind everyone to watch IMPACT WRESTLING - THURSDAYS ON SPIKE TV.
