Me, too. It would have been much more enjoyable. But it had it's moments. Especially the Iwata tribute and the stabs at Konami.

Maybe that's really Jade Raymond's account.

Anyone have a rundown of the "ten premieres"? I saw Psychonauts 2, what else was announced?
She can take a few shots as well obviously
yeah

Nah, The Game Awards 2015 was pretty much the mid-90s Source Awards of this industry. Eastern Hemisphere/Western Hemisphere beef in full effect, and Jade Raymond held it down for the Canadians
Shots were fired.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN
I love Jim but man that is cheap and attention seeking. He also retweeted old Goef tweets about mtn dew and stuff. Need to grow up.
Yeah I watched the whole 3 hours in hope to see some nintendo goodnes just like last year but nothing... The tribute to Iwata was nice though.

Westwood & Iwata tribute were worth the price of admission.
Probably because people were expecting another announcement.
Award show elitists, they do exist apparently hah.
Get used to seeing more of it throughout the game awards this year.
My hope is that GAF GOTY award crowns it as deserved winner this year.

Preferred the musical stuff from last year (though Chvrches was great), but overall, pretty good show. Definitely the best one so far.

It was alright. I like the Iwata tribute but I don't understand why most of the premiere are considered "premiere." Still happy that Greg won but definitely not for Bloodborne....
It definitely was entertaining.....it's been getting better slowly but surely. He needs to do more studio hilights next year. That Westwood tribute was fantastic. Iwata tribute hit the feels. Some awkward product placement....but how else do you get these things funded.
Decent show all around....besides we only need to wait till Saturday for bombs at PSX anyways. Far cry did look badass though.

we can't watch the BAFTAs though can we? serious question, I don't know.
I think for this show, they need to stop trying to insistently pitch the worth of video games to what sounds like a non game audience. just stop it. reeks of insecurity. just get on with it.

What a surreal night this has been...
The show was just like the industry; entertaining, but dysfunctional as fuck. Geoff was probably on edge most of the night when he realized two of his top presenters were either drunk or high off of their asses. And you could tell the entire Kojima situation had him pissed to no end, to the point where he didn't care if he burned a few bridges to tell the truth of the matter.
All that and Psychonauts 2. Surreal.

fuck, there was a lot of boring reveals and time wasted on non gaming musical guests, but geoff firebombing konami on air and jade raymond being hilarious saves it for me
I see the meltdowns have already started
"What do you mean it was fun? You didn't do anything"
Didn't he? Didn't he?
His backstage Battlefront interview was cringe-worthy.
Just read some of the posts here and you will know... =/
The show was going pretty well, but it kinda died in the second hour. The shameless shilling, half-hearted "world premieres," and general lack of substance started really adding up as the show wore on.
And if you're going to have an award category for games that "make an impact" for social issues and the like, give it time on the show and showcase why that game is so noteworthy. If you're not going to do that for a category like that, then why have the award at all? What's the point?
The actual production itself was greatly improved from last year's show, though, and the basic formula is clearly there to make this Game Awards thing a quality show. It's just not all together yet. So keep at it next year, Geoff!

I dunno, pretty mediocre overall. Geoff is a terrible presenter on-camera. Hand in his pocket or crossed over his chest, very stiff, eyes cast down and rarely looking at the camera. Pacing was all off. Geoff casually announcing some winners as he did was just off-putting as well.
Westwood and Iwata tributes though were good.

I know. Feels like I'm the odd one out but this show was much better than last year and definitely better than most if not all of the Spike ones.
The musical performances all fell flat though, especially the end. With the exception of Stefanie, of course.
I didn't realise these awards mattered so much to you.
lol what if Witcher 3 was the actual winner, but it was just too embarrassing to correct it
