[dickroach]

Well, Psychonauts 2. fuck the rest of it.

 

[Panthalassic]

So Deadmau5 in a sheet was the surprise?


Waste of two hours, but at least Splatoon got something out of it.

 

[manzoman96]

I don't even know what a go90 is

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

That was awful.

 

[outunderthestars]

Did the battery die on his mp3 player?

 

[ViciousDS]

the two tributes were big for me......probably best part of the show outside hammill and Raymond's drunk ups lol

 

[chadboban]

The world premiers other than Psychonauts 2 weren't really all that spectacular but the Iwata tribute was lovely and Geoff putting Konami on blast was worth it.

 

[brandonh83]

Zelda looks amazing

 

[Quintin DM]

I actually enjoyed last years show quite a bit, this year however I felt it was pretty boring.

 

[rpmurphy]

All those people recording the performance with their cell phones. A performance that's streamed online for the world to see. I don't get this.

 

[Fhtagn]

I think it said Witcher 3 on the card but it was the Her Story actress who won Best Voice Actor. Jade Raymond said Witcher 3 with her name attached and his reaction was like 'huh?'

As was hers, she obviously recognized the mistake after saying it; almost certainly a misprinted card.

 

[SchrodingerC]

The show was definitely an improvement over last year, although there were some clunky moments.

Good job again, Geogf!

 

[_woLf]

Overall significantly worse than last year, but still miles better than any other year before that.

 

[JJP12]

That was a fun show

 

[Zomba13]

Isn't Witcher 3 that game no one can stand to bring themselves to finish it?

Nah that's Fallout 4.

 

[nikos]

He isn't spinning, he's actually controlling shit.

eeeh whatever. It's clear his setup fucked up

Couldn't really see his gear, but I didn't notice any MIDI controllers. You're probably right though. He was most likely just launching clips in Ableton.

 

[shoryukens]

Who won mobile game of the year? Please tell me it was Monster Hunter...

 

[Kyzon]

No Zelda :[

 

[Jarmel]

Nintendo apparently saving everything for E3 for the NX reveal.

 

[Kinsei]

Didn't Geoff say they had one last thing to show? Surely that couldn't have been Deadmau5, right?

 

[~Kinggi~]

this show was a lot better with alcohol

u said it brother. i found a pillow and fucked it and called it konami

 

[DanSaxon]

Between Jade and the GAF meltdowns over Bloodborne I've had a fantastic night. Shame there was no huge announcement.

Now time for bed, have to be up in 3 hours for work.

Psychonauts 2? If you haven't, play the first it's incredible.

 

[bennywhatever]

I'm bummed that they didn't do anything with Best Soundtrack/Score. That was the one I was most excited for.

Kinda think Ori should have won that category, but oh well.

 

[Tambini]

That end was really weird and anti-climatic though lol

Not bad overall, its an award show with PSX in a few days what can you expect

 

[SteveO409]

Very enjoyable show!! I don't feel like I wasted my time watching it and the pace was really well done. Some mishaps but I can't blame the producers

 

[Gunstarheroes]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

 

[Mahonay]

That Deadmau5 set was shit.

 

[JPLMD]

Wow that was pretty bad...

 

[LordOcidax]

Jade Raymond was high #forreal..

 

[Kyari]

Best Moment : WTF Witcher Guy.
Worst Moment : Force Awaken toy with the Disney rep.

Let's not single that out. It was all the worst moment.

 

[Shenmue]

That was an entertaining show!

 

[7DollarHagane]

Pretty good show. They are improving it each year.

 

[AbrahamGiggles]

Well, ok, so Deadmau5 was just a TI5 repeat, right down to being a really weird way to end the event. At least it didn't have the weird camera zooms...

I take that back, the zooms made that night.

 

[RevolverRoden]

I'm SOOOOO glad i wasted two hours watching a shitty version of last years show.
Bloodborne or MGSV should have been GOTY, not Dragon Age Inquisition #2
Garbage premiers
Garbage deadmouse ending
No kojima

 

[Gamer79]

I want that two hours of my life back. Most of the world premiers were a joke. The best part was the Jab at Sutherland.

Probably won't bother next year. 3 years in a row it's been bad.

 

[traveler]

Yeah because those games are totally similar.

They have the same fundamental flaws. Emphasis on open world immersion over quality, constrained design. A bevy of things to do instead of doing one thing well. Cruddy base mechanics and pointless RPG trappings.

That Witcher 3 is well written and has that same writing throughout its side quests whereas Dragon Age's side activities are blantantly filler and its story the same crappy, trope filled BioWare standard isn't particularly relevant to me. The game could have the best story of any medium of all time for all I care and still be a bad game. Great writing can't make up for a bad game, and poor writing can't drag down a good game. (See: MGSV) You cannot screw up the fundamentals of the medium you're working in no matter how right you get the rest of it.

 

[BizzyBum]

MGSV Chapter 3 dream is dead, guys

 

[Aaronrules380]

Hey Keyleigh, if you're not going to have any Nintendo news, DON'T FUCKING LIE ABOUT IT

 

[Toa TAK]

This was a great Award Show. So entertaining in every way.

 

[Zombie James]

What happened to that last surprise?

 

[friskykillface]

solid show

Luke x Jade for best performances of the night

 

[entremet]

Good show. It will get better in time. Just need to work out the kinks.

It's only two years old.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Show was fine.
Some people on gaf are terrible people.
And they should make a kazaam 2.

 

[Duraigo]

Done in 15 minutes. Had to contribute something to all of this.

 

[Byronic Hero]

That was really really not that good. The awards parts were decent, but almost all of the "World Premieres" were dull. Only high points were Psychonauts and Mark Hamill.

 

[Luigi87]

So... No Best Shooter?

 

[Intheflorsh]

Congrats dude.

 

[Moff]

next year Jade Raymond should host this and announce every category

 

[ActStriker]

This shouldn't be a thing next year.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Its like people want the game awards to be E3 or something.
