It did come off as a bit mean because just two minutes ago Kiefer was on stage talking about how he's amazed by the MGS fans and their support.
But I agree, it's not that huge of a deal as some make it out
Ugh...
Those retweets too.

What is this? I sometimes like Jim but this seems bizarre.

YouTube had pretty decent numbers too. And people will watch it in reruns as well.

BUT IF BLOODBORNE DOESN'T WIN ANY AWARDS I'LL HAVE TO RETROACTIVELY HATE IT AND THE 100+ HOURS I'VE SPENT ON IT.

I think the only people you have to blame for a lack of Nintendo news is Nintendo.
How would they do that? presenter, montage, award, speech. Been that way since the dawn if time. They didnt even play anyone off when they ran long

And? He doesn't have shareholder control of one of the biggest corporations in the gaming world.
It is entirely likely that they had agreed on something which then later did not pan out.
People really think this industry is a lot simpler and straight forward than it really is...
Those of you saying this was a complete abomination clearly have erased the Spike awards from your memories. This is much, much better and Geoff seems to genuinely care about getting it to a fully respectable place. Chill with the angry nerd schtick.
That said, the Jade Raymond thing was pure gold.

Oh, these are the fabled RTs. Weird stuff, like Jim's angry or something.

That's a bad look for Jim, he's coming off super douchy there.

I wasn't expecting anything. It's a miracle Geoff got footage last year.
I doubt he liked it, maybe I'm projecting since I enjoyed the majority of it.

Thought the show was fine. It had it's misses, like Jade, but it had some nice moments, too, like the short feature on the Industry Icon, the time dedicated to Iwata and the public shaming of Konami for preventing Kojima from even attending the show. Those saying it was "terrible" and the like need to either grow up or come back down to planet Earth. Putting something like this together isn't easy, major props to Geoff for continuing to deliver. Here's hoping support for the show continues to grow along with the industry.

Saying the "nice thing from Nintendo" was the Iwata tribute is a pretty fucking awful excuse. Because I can guarantee you he knew what the reaction would be. And because he talked about the Iwata tribute seperately later. And because he had numerous opportunities to try and clear up the misunderstanding after it spread throughout the internet
EA and Microsoft paid for most it . I highly many get free flights. Its just a marketing write off for them.
Anyone with Pics?
Hey, guys. Learn some shit. Show was streamed across a ton of platforms. 150k + other platforms = more than 150k. Just saying.

That hi is what sealed it lol.
Barring the last 15 or so minutes it was actually pretty damn excellent and a big improvement over last year.
Then there was MGSV Kojima drama, Jade making one of the most unprofessional appearances of her career, and ending on a Deadmau5 snorefest.
That's the thing about endings, they leave the final impression. It took away from the Iwata and Westwood tributes, and some of the cool announcements like free Shadow Complex and Psychonauts 2.
Geoff had 110 minutes of a great show but then that ending left a sour taste in everyone's mouth.

Undertale not winning anything
I'm okay with it losing all of the categories it was actually nominated for as I think the ones that did win were arguably better. Emphasis "arguably"- I didn't personally like the games that beat it more than Undertale, but I can see why they won over it.
The fact that it wasn't even nominated for best music is a fucking crime, though. It should have won that shit by unanimous vote. I liked MGSV, but Undertale beats the absolute fucking shit out of it in the music department.
Better call all your christmas-tree friends
This makes Jim look just bitter

Jim sounds a bit salty.
Splatoon won best multiplayer and is marked as such, but there's no game marked as winning the best shooter award.

Overall, good awards, though the exclusives were pretty weak save for Psychonauts 2.
It's a shame Undertale and Bloodborne didn't get anything. But it shows how great this year has been, Im sure it was hard for the jury.

I started late, but I was recording the show towards the end.Jeez you were pretty quick on that avatar.
After watching the Jade Raymond segment again I'm thinking the envelope actually said "Viva Seifert - The Witcher 3". Jade's reaction was even like "The Witcher 3?". I think she's simply like Ron Burgundy and will read word for word whatever is in front of her. lol. So I think that part was probably not entirely her fault.

It wasn't that long ago though. And if it wasn't a done deal he should've made it clear.

Don't get why everyone is scrutinizing Jade so much over being a lil drunk on stage. Not really a big deal, chill folks, it's a dumb games awards night

Although it petered out at the end, this is a good base to build upon.
I love the idea of giving the developers behind video games the spotlight, it's a HUGE form of media in the world these days, and will only get bigger as time goes on.
It's fair to have your opinion of Geoff and the ads of the show, but without both it wouldn't really be possible.
If the award show grows as a platform truly it's better for us gamers? Maybe it'll reach a point where true megatons are dropped in the show even, big game announcements/trailers.
