Had a spark when it started...

 

[Producer]

that was it...lol

 

[Karak]

Best World Premiere of the show was:

It looks like he is holding up that chicks head. hahahahha

That's incredibly dumb to say but okay

And to think you trumped it here just seconds later. Bravo.

 

[Red Hood]

I fucking knew I would regret staying up this late for Zelda U.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

WELP

 

[Hexa]

Solid show. Solid improvement over last year. Still some rough edges, but I'm overall very satisfied. good job Geoff. Looking forward to next year.

 

[Brian_FETO]

"Alright we've got one more surprise for you, it's what we've advertised throughout the show"

 

[Tripon]

It's over?

 

[DarkKyo]

Did Trey Parker not show up? lol

 

[Ardenyal]

So is Jade Raymond okay? She seemed off.

She will have a splitting head ache in the morning but she will be fine.

 

[The Xtortionist]

i have walked the edge of the abyss

and i have nothing to show for it

 

[Cheddahz]

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Nice surprise.

 

[ryseing]

Should have done Clearest Blue. Or Empty Threat. Fun songs.

Posted earlier that they should have done Clearest Blue. Very fun song to dance to.

Highlights of the show- drunk Hamill+ drunk Raymond, Keighley throwing shade, Westwood and Iwata tributes.

 

[coolasj19]

Pretty good. Probably better than last year. I don't have anything negative to say.

 

[Zia]

Last year's was a lot better. This is not a good thing.

 

[brainchild]

So glad I had some vodka with this.

 

[Sealed]

lame world premiers (except psychonauts) and bloodborne not getting what it deserves made this show pretty crappy

 

[Like the hat?]

Finally an ending worse than Nintendoland fireworks

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Kojima is in hiding with Luke Skywalker

 

[ryanofcall]

didn't he say there was another surprise?
Or was the surprise deadmau5 being shit?

 

[Relix]

Lol what an abrupt ending. Meh show... last year's was better . Keep on going Geoff!

 

[Arttemis]

[Glendemonium]

Not a bad show, had some surprises for sure. Looking forward to Playstation Experience soon.

 

[boosh5]

Wow. A performance they will be talking about for the ages.

 

[NightShift]

I need a shower after that.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Fantastic show. Geoff really did a great job this year.

Definitely awkward moments, but it was a great show overall.

 

[stufte]

life is strange fucking ROBBED

fuck video games

It's a good game, but not best game of 2015 by a long shot.

 

[vypek]

...thats it? I thought they would end on something else

 

[eBay Huckster]

That performance was Konami's fault.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Fuck yeah, Witcher 3!!!

 

[SatoAilDarko]

It was an enjoyable show.

Was hoping for at least a new Smash fighter announcement.

 

[lazybones18]

see more with Go90

 

[DarkChronic]

worst ending ever, lmao

oh well, at least we got psychonauts 2 out of this

 

[AdanVC]

Nah it was a great show. Lot's of personalities on the industry together and it was cool. Except it had lot's of commercials... Thanks Geoff for putting this nice show!

 

[MidnightMania]

I enjoyed the show. Way better than last year. Had the right amount of controversy lol.

 

[motherxwolf]

i didn't think the big surprise was a new track from deadmou5.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Only decent music performance was Chvrches

I love Chvrches, but I thought that performance was fucking awful. Either that, or there was something fucked up with the sound on the technical side, but my favorite song of the year did not sound good.

 

[Lasthope106]

I must say that was the best game awards show ever made. It was classy. Definitely the right direction. Congrats to Geoff.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

The Game Awards, sponsored by, among many other brands, Xbox, presented at the Microsoft theater in LA.

Did you really expect a PlayStation first party exclusive to be awarded?

Hell, with the amount of Star Wars Battelfront shilling going on, I'm surprised they didn't give that game at least 3 awards.

Ah, here come the conspiracy theories.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Takes time with his songs to ramp up.

I saw him making it on his stream. The melodic part is the only part I really like. The song is weak otherwise.

WTF @ people in here calling him a generic house artist tho

 

[Spaghetti]

should just rename it to the shade awards tbh

 

[Crossing Eden]

Yeah. Hear that other game devs you just didn't put enough love in.
Lol

That wasn't what I was saying but ok.

 

[ginger ninja]

That's it ? Now I am laughing like that nvidia engineer video.

Great show or greatest show ?

 

[Regiruler]

Hey, is this weird mouse guy gonna play some music, or what? He's just kind of standing there dressed as a ghost or something.

this post made me laugh more than it should have

 

[grandjedi6]

Did Nintendo not have anything to show? Did I miss it?

none of the big three really showed up that much

 

[Zen_Arcade]

She looked pretty Witcher 3 up there.

This is a solid joke that you're probably not going to get credit for considering how fast the thread is moving.

A+ though man.

 

[lukeskymac]

So 30 seconds of Uncharted and a Psychonauts 2 announcement (marred by crowdfunding). Out of 2 hours of bullshit awards, bad music, not-really-new info about already announced games, and lots of ads.

Welp, seems like PSX is going to eclipse this just like last year.

 

[Sora the Cat]

What about the surprise :'(

 

[Gaogaogao]

god damnit konami
