Hahaha, Inaba beasted off on his english.

 

[spirity]

Worth it for the cow.

A WILD COW APPEARED.

A cow.

 

[Agnostic]

See ya next year for the 2012 VGAs.

 

[fernoca]

Overall, everything was as expected.
The same as in previous years, but at least Zachary Levi made for a nice host...and eye candy.

The big trailers and announcements were leaked already, though Alan Wake's trailer and final name (American Nightmare) were a nice surprise. Zelda and Miyamoto was really nice to see and gave the show some credibility, even when it looked out of place.

 

[Pachimari]

What was this Batman: Arkham World stuff about? Was it an announcement? I missed the Batman stuff.

 

[Majine]

At this point they could just hand Rising over to the Fruit Ninja devs.

 

[stupei]

at least she's in the kitchen...

Welcome to GAF. Hope you enjoyed your stay, you won't be here long...

I stayed up till 3AM..for this?!

Bad choice, dude.

 

[SykoTech]

Well, that's that.

The Last of Us and Spidey are all the really did anything for me. Plus a few embarrassingly bad moments. Rising was okay, but they really dropped on the delivery.

 

[Carbonox]

Seeing it again just makes me hyped all the more. Fucking Platinum Games bitches.

 

[Takamura-San]

METAL GEAR RISING IS THE BEST FUCKING GAME OF ALL TIME.

REVENGEANCE.

I'LL BUY 10 COPIES JUST TO SAY I DID. SNICKERS WRAPPERS.

So glad i voted blamespace

 

[-Winnie-]

HOLY MOTHERFUCK YES

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

So what was the big PS3 exclusive? Naughty dog's game had been teased before the show...

 

[Levyne]

4 awards given out (5 if you count the "gaming god" intro into Diablo cinematic)

4 Trailers with gameplay

2 new reveals.

over 2 hours

...cut out the shit and condense to an hour and its...decent I guess?

 

[Chuck]

And the winner is...



The 2011 VGAs for most abysmal awards show of all time. Congrats

 

[Madrical]

Where was this guy when you need him?

Laughed for a solid minute.

 

[Guardian Bob]

Halfway, I actually changed the channel to the Republican debate. And i'm not American! It's actually more interesting.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Welp, what a waste of time...

Award show should have made the alarm bells ring.

 

[RichieRich]

[astroturfing]

I'm sorry but...that was just awesome. Ninja Gaiden+Vanquish, developed by Platinum with Kojima Productions? Do want.

yeah i'm treating the game as Vanquish 2 basically. DO want. looked like something that's hella fun to play.... unlike The Last of Us and Fortnite etc which didn't look like anything because they didn't even show the games.

 

[Forkball]

What the fuck is wrong with you guys? I thought Metal Gear Rising looked fucking badass!

People saw it 12 hours ago.

 

[Dachande]

Rab Florence couldn't have put it better:

A game that doesn't even work properly won Game of the Year. Think about that. #VGAs

 

[Slayer-33]

It really does. It seems like almost every aspect of the industry has gone full derp. It's as if no one gives a shit.

I don't know what to feel about the show.


Shit was batshit, Levi did an excellent job but holy fuck at some of the segments.

 

[MasterShotgun]

So the only good parts were:

The Last of Us being developed by Naughty Dog
Diablo III intro cinematic
Metal Gear Rising trailer (even though it did leak)
Miyamoto being awesome

If something else good happened, it must have not been very memorable.

 

[Himself]

METAL GEAR RISING IS THE BEST FUCKING GAME OF ALL TIME.

REVENGEANCE.

I'LL BUY 10 COPIES JUST TO SAY I DID. SNICKERS WRAPPERS.

I'm with you dude.

 

[ShipTheCheese]

After the whole "did you rike it" debacle, and now this, I really feel Kojima should start taking some fucking English courses to spare himself the shame.

 

[Moaradin]

Somehow this VGAs were worse than last VGAs. Practically every award was given to the person who can pay the most.

 

[throwawayname]

See all of you guys next year in the 2012 thread.

 

[rdrr gnr]

That looked absolutely awful.

 

[Hypereides]

Remind me to not get excited about VGA in any way next year. Only reason to get excited any year is E3.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

So glad i votes blamespace

+1 for blamespace! D:

 

[ULTROS!]

I only watched this for the trailers.

I liked MGR:Revengeance (aka Metal Gearonetta) and The Last of Us trailers. Fortnite looked like Minecraft Fortress 2, but it was OK I guess.

 

[TheJerit]

first year watching vga awards.



i've learned my lesson...

 

[Frankfurt]

Reveangeance + teabagging = confirming to the average TV audience that gamers are even dumber than what they think.

 

[Brazil]

So what was the thing Geoff was hyping for weeks?

You guys are so bad at trolling.

 

[canadian crowe]

Trailer looked great. Going for a samurai movie vibe, which is good.

I still get the feeling that this will be the Metal Gear series' Other M.

 

[Snipes424]

It seems like every game had either a reaper in it or zombies.

I'm starting to dislike this hobby

 

[Basch]

Metal Gear TRANSFARING R E V E N G E A N C E

 

[FateBreaker]

MG: Rising looks great. Haters gonna hate as usual.

Goddamn though, poor Kojima. I had to leave the room. Hahah

 

[Don]

Perfect thread title.

I still feel sorry for him.

The Last of Us trailer was only real impressive reveal for me. Too bad that the Rising trailer got leaked beforehand.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Poor Kojima :/

I enjoyed it. It was dumb, but fun. I like anything involving the characters talking- the CotY stuff was all well done (despite the huge spoiler for Portal 2, haha), and the CoD bit was classy too.

MGR:R looks so fucking great :lol

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Not sure where the negativity is coming from about MGR. All I saw was fucking Bayonetta-level awesomesauce.

 

[Soma]

AWW YEAH VAMPIRES VS ZOMBIES FUCK YEAH

 

[Symphonic]

REVENGE WITH A VENGENCE

REVENGENCE

METAL GEAR SOLID REVENGENCE

META GEAR

GEAR SOLID

REVENGENCE

METAL GEAR SOLID REVENGENCE

REVENGENCE

 

[Grisby]

See ya next year for the 2012 VGAs.

Cheers.

 

[higherARC05]

O my goodness

Everyone is disappointed in no HALO 4 in live chat.

Guess best thing for me was Alan Wake. O well next time

 

[Derrick01]

Just to save you guys the suspense, here are the GOTY winners for the next 3 years:

Upcoming GOTY Winners:

2012 - Bioshock Infinite
2013 - Next-Gen COD Launch Title
2014 - Next Bethesda Game

So very predictable. Just like the industry it honors. Very appropriate!

Look up the past year's GOTY winners on wikipedia for this show. Outside of Madden, which happened on the very first year of the show, the other winners have been respectable choices.

No COD or any of that bullshit.

 

[Mistle]

Reveangeance + teabagging = confirming to the average TV audience that gamers are even dumber than what they think.

yeah, pretty sad event for trying to build a somewhat respectable reputation ._.

 

[AlimNassor]

No Valve, no Gabe, no HL3. I hate my life and want to cry.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Just to save you guys the suspense, here are the GOTY winners for the next 3 years:

Upcoming GOTY Winners:

2012 - Bioshock Infinite
2013 - Next-Gen COD Launch Title
2014 - Next Bethesda Game

So very predictable. Just like the industry it honors. Very appropriate!

Or whatever game that is nominated for Game of the Year that doesn't have an announced award it won or shown to win anything or have some special moment ("Hall of Fame") will win Game of the Year.

 

[Tetrasides]

Wait, who won most anticipated game? Must have missed it.
