Wow, so edgy.SpikeTV - a pig in shit
BAFTA - a pig in shit wearing a suit
The second seems worse, if only by a diminutive amount.
Wow, so edgy.
Except is a load of crap.
I'm calling you out as a try-hard, to be even more specific.You are calling my NeoGAF post edgy? I don't even understand.
I'm calling you out as a try-hard, to be even more specific.
Except they aren't.Try hard at what?
That was kind of an easy way to show I believe they are rather equal, simply different in tone.
Except they aren't.
One is a fratboy party crossed with a commercial marathon and disguised as an award.
The other, like it or not, is an actual ceremony, where developers are recognized as the creative talent behind games and awarded for their accomplishments.
Uhh... no.
Want me to post the teabag segment?
Let's hope they actually present the awards and not scroll through 2/3rds of them in a one minute montage.
I can't really agree with virtually anything you said, but let me address just a few points.If I'm correct they both function on the same criteria. Voted in by judges selected from media (media whom give out their own awards without the circus and cameras). You are simply warping reality to your dudebro-hunting mentality if you want to say SpikeTV's award show isn't a ceremony. If you take the ceremony out and simply focus on the lists and winners, I don't see how they are very far apart.
They are both rather pompous events (ceremonies) where criticism takes a backseat (this is why award ceremonies are a joke, all the way up to the oscars). Simply different flavors. One sort of pretension (where lil videogaems tries to put on daddy's suit (which looks totally dumb on him) and act like what he thinks an adult is) appeals to you, while MTV music awards crossed with macho man randy savage scares you away. The latter is the way it is because whoever is behind it realizes how terribly boring it would be to watch a serious videogame award ceremony without teasers or at the very least beautiful, charismatic people winning (let alone high-quality skits those beautiful people are acting in). While some mediums can get away with it within their "core" audiences, videogames simply doesn't have the history of pseudo-intellecual circle-jerking to counteract the "dumb", "mainstream" pleasure seekers. Hollywood has turned ass-licking on the red carpet into an industry. Turned pictures of B-list actors while they eat at McDonalds into a religious props.
At the end of the day if SpikeTV says Call of Duty is the best game ever and BAFTA says Heavy Rain is not a profoundly shitty game or that Red Dead Redemption is the best, what does it matter when Vanquish is better than all that, but completely absent? You can turn IGN's Top 100 games of alllll timeeee into the Oscars or the MTV movie awards, but what does that matter... really? At the very least SpikeTV has a "so bad its good" factor (and "so bad, it trolls me and gives me something to release stress at" factor) and the neat trailers. I have to assume that's why anyone on GAF watches it.
Well, I don't.For all the complaining we watch it live every year on here.
It's fun with a live gaf commentary.
2) If you're so insecure about your hobby to think it should "know its place" and don't mess with adult stuff, that's really your problem.
Let's hope they actually present the awards and not scroll through 2/3rds of them in a one minute montage.
Haven't gotten through 5 mins of the previous shows without getting douche chills. Needless to say as a gamer I'm embarrassed this supposedly represents the best the industry has to offer.

So....no sneak peak at next generation gaming. Boo.
You must have missed the other threads.
You must have missed the other threads.
I didn't see any sort of next-gen sneak peek. Did i miss it or was there none?
Phantom Pain?
It said 360/PS3 though didn't it?
I'm betting that's a cross gen game. Same as Watch_Dogs, IMHO. You won't see "NextBox/PS4" logo on any games yet so it's a valid reasoning to think some of those titles are cross-gen.It does on the website yes. There was absolutely nothing next gen last night.
