Well, that was a snooze-fest of an awards show. not a single game looked remotely interesting to me.

What turned me off personally was the overall presentation of games now, and I don't mean because of the special circumstances of this year. But every game that is debuted or previewed now mostly seems to focus on flashy, empty CGI trailers with awful licensed music. Doesn't at all make me excited or interested in them.

I'm mainly glad Hades won one award (just one ), as that was really the only game out of this years stack that I'd been truly happy with.

But wow, none of the "World Premiers" were at all noteworthy. No Elden Ring or Silent Hill as rumored (not that I put stock in rumors). And EA previews were short worthless trailers. "Mass Effect will return!" sorry, not excited after what happened to it.

And I am a bit displeased at how Among Us gets an award even though it released back in 2018

 

[Bartski]

can't wait to hear more from the Dead Space dude!!!

&




goodnight everyone, thanks for doing this live again

 

[Mercenary09]

TLOU2 swept just like it deserved to. Haters can cry all they want. Every part of that game is just so far beyond anything else that released this year.

 

[Crm114]

Abby is a he who became a she or a she who became a he ?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yeah as much as I enjoyed the ME series, that final "reveal/tease" was lame. We knew a new game was coming... I would've rather the final reveal be anything else, lol.

 

[Sign]

I’d call this the biggest bust in history, but I wouldn’t want to imply any pleasure was derived.

 

[Windom Earle]

Buzzfeed->IGN->Sony?

 

[YCoCg]

alyx got destroyed

what a shame

Just imagine this instead

 

[Astral Dog]

LOL MASS EFFECT Andromeda 2 is the last reveal i can't

 

[Woggleman]

Glad at the winner and at the end of the day some things that are considered classics today were very polarizing when they first came out.

 

[SinDelta]

The better game won.

Only someone biased towards platform or politics would say otherwise.

Well the players did vote, and they did make a choice.

 

[Kev Kev]

or bc they legit didnt like the game, and/or liked something else more? lol wth

you people coming in here just to point and laugh are fucking pathetic. nuff said

 

[Mercenary09]

Abby is a he who became a she or a she who became a he ?

Abby is a she. Period. You offended b/c she has muscles?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Who knows? His background? His upbringing? Something in his personal psychology that makes him that way? It's hard to say.

nothing in that speech was smug

You sound salty tho

 

[Eternal21]

Abby is a he who became a she or a she who became a he ?

Neither. She's just a buff chick, possibly due to some disorder.

 

[RPS37]

Where’s the back 4 blood alpha sign up link?

 

[Omega Supreme Holopsicon]

the game isn’t hated by a LARGE part of the community, and it sold a massive amount and had great acclaim

you weren't watching the chat messages? Filled with rigged.

Game would've broken records over time, sales went down, and the sequel let's see how much it sells.

 

[MiguelItUp]

TLOU2 swept just like it deserved to. Haters can cry all they want. Every part of that game is just so far beyond anything else that released this year.

In the eyes of hardcore fans, yes. Fine game that I felt was horribly overrated though. Clearly not the only one either.

Shouldn't you be posting on Resetera?

 

[OneBigPuss]

Well, they have George R. R Martin involved in the writing, meaning it'll probably take him ten years to finish the stupid first draft so they can start making the game.

He will be dead in 10 years.

 

[Crm114]

Abby is a she. Period. You offended b/c she has muscles?

I didn’t play it I wanna know, who said anything about being offended lol

 

[Windom Earle]

Abby is a he who became a she or a she who became a he ?

IT'S MA'AM!!!!

 

[thismeinteil]

Well, GOT won the only award that matters, the Player's Voice. Let the people vote for all the awards next time, Geoff. We'll see how many people are actually into this woke BS.
This is just like most awards where all the smug critics/journalists who smell their own farts tell the little people how they should think.

 

[Mercenary09]

In the eyes of hardcore fans, yes. Fine game that I felt was horribly overrated though. Clearly not the only one either.

Uh huh. Just like when people cried about God of War winning over RDR2 two years ago. Right game won.

 

[Anchovie123]

TLOU2 winning was expected. TGA judges is mostly comprised of game journalist publications from around the industry. One final "fuck you" to gamers for 2020.

 

[Rentahamster]

Very meh other then crimson dessert

I just watched the Crimson Desert trailer and it looked pretty neat! Framerate's kinda choppy, but I'm sure they'll figure it out.

 

[Kev Kev]

Abby is a she. Period. You offended b/c she has muscles?

lol you are the only one ITT that has said this you baitin' motherfucker

 

[Windom Earle]

Well the players did vote, and they did make a choice.

only award that matters

what a shit show, apart from 2-3 trailers this was a waste of time, no God of War, Elden Ring, no blockbusters

4/10

 

[Umbral]

This just illustrated even more the gulf between “critics” and “journalists” and those who buy and play games.

This may sound petty to some but the way a lot of trailers are put together these days, it’s like they are all made in the same studio. Those booming sound effects used between quick cuts and fades is jarring. Movie trailers do it a lot too. No creativity there.

 

[DeeDogg_]

They gave it best indie game only. RIGGED.

The only award TLOU2 couldn’t steal

 

[Mercenary09]

Well, GOT won the only award that matters, the Player's Voice. Let the people vote for all the awards next time, Geoff. We'll see how many people are actually into this woke BS.
This is just like most awards where all the smug critics/journalists who smell their own farts tell the little people how they should think.

You mean like they did for The Golden Joystiqs that TLOU2 swept? Or how about many of the numerous other GOTYs TLOU2 will win? It's already over 20. Keep crying.

 

[Rudius]

Abby is a he who became a she or a she who became a he ?

Just a bulky she.

People say anything thing is rigged when it doesn't go the way they want to.

 

[Windom Earle]

Stop with the transphobic rethoric reee

 

[Optimus Lime]

nothing in that speech was smug

You sound salty tho

Yeah, but you WOULD say that, you're the creepy Sony guy. It's fairly safe to say that you're biased towards anything that is Sony exclusive, since you have the mind of a 15 year old with her first crush.

 

[kyliethicc]

Bitch I'm back out my coma
Waking up on your sofa
When I park my Range Rover
Slightly scratch your Corolla
Okay, I smashed your Corolla

In the words of Kanye West

Dear Geoff,


Yo, yo, yo, yo
I use your face as a urinal
Then do the same at your funeral
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
This one here for the executives, fuck you and all your relatives
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave

Yeezus and Rodeo are fire

 

[saintjules]

Crimson Desert in my top list tonight.

 

[Umbral]

You mean like they did for The Golden Joystiqs that TLOU2 swept? Or how about many of the numerous other GOTYs TLOU2 will win? It's already over 20. Keep crying.

The game still sucks.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Uh huh. Just like when people cried about God of War winning over RDR2 two years ago. Right game won.

Nah, I disagreed with that too. Though I loved GoW. But you can preach your opinion as factual, that's fine.

 

[Omega Supreme Holopsicon]

People say anything thing is rigged when it doesn't go the way they want to.

yes but when most in the audience say it, it means most in the audience think it.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Yeah, but you WOULD say that, you're the creepy Sony guy. It's fairly safe to say that you're biased towards anything that is Sony exclusive, since you have the mind of a 15 year old with her first crush.

 

[Optimus Lime]

Exactly. See what I mean?

Got to keep the SJW group happy.

 

[Mercenary09]

Nah, I disagreed with that too. Though I loved GoW. But you can preach your opinion as factual, that's fine.

I mean it's an opinion that is shared by many. God of War won 200+ GOTYs that were picked by media and readers. TLOU2 will be the same. 20+ for it already.

 

[Eternal21]

I hate SJW's and the whole woke culture. I love The Last of Us I & II. Been playing for close to 40 years, and have yet to find anything that comes even close to those two masterpieces. Couldn't be happier about them sweeping the awards. Another great win for Naughty Dog and Sony. Hopefully this means we'll get more gritty exclusives in the future.

 

[Crm114]

Just a bulky she.

Gotcha thx for clarifying, must be the post apocalyptic elk meat

 

[Dorohedoro]

Nice to see TLoU2 win all those awards including the big one but the rest of this show was awful.
