Back at the beginning did Ken kutaragi think he was supposed to go on stage?

[Jinzo Prime]

I'm just happy that the actual director is saying he was inspired by Mario, people were trying to pretend otherwise in the game thread.

 

[Moonjt9]

Astro bot well deserved GOTY!

And no Silksong again. Why do I do this to myself

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

Congratulations to Astro Bot, even though I don't agree. It won. This award show lost its reliability when OverWatch won Game of the Year.

Stellar Blade got shafted so hard, but I was ready for that. Stellar Blade triggered everyone so hard that there was no way they were going to let it win anything. Silent Hill and Final Fantasy also got hit hard.

Given that I'm a bit surprised BMW won anything but they couldn't ignore the sales domination it had or the insane CCU record it set for a non-GAAS title.

Biggest surprise for me is how thoroughly Nintendo got shafted. I expected at least Jamboree to win something. So it was very sweet to see the Astro team pay respects to Nintendo in their GOTY acceptance speech.

Not surprised too much about Rebirth, after all XVI won quite a lot last year and Metaphor is the hot new JRPG IP. Happy for that game's awards, too. The only big game release that won something probably not deserved was Hellblade II. Even the audio design was worst there than the first game, let alone everything else not graphics.

 

[Zephyranthes]

Solid show overall, Onimusha is probably the biggest reveal for me.

Respect to Keighley for letting the muppets roast him to the high heavens: "Does Kojima know he's Geoff's friend?" and "DLC winning GOTY is like a pre-order bonus winning a lifetime achievement award" were both pretty great.

 

[FunkMiller]

Valve should just come out and discredit when these rumors arise for HL3.

Valve are very good at keeping their fucking mouths shut. The rest of the industry could learn a lot from them.

If there is a Half Life 3, it's never going to be announced at someone else's show. I've had a laugh here with it, but nothing about Gabe says he'd jump into bed with the Dorito Pope for a promotional event.

 

[Ceadeus]

Damn you're lightning quick lmao

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Can we ban Men_in_Boxes now?

What did I do?

 

[AJUMP23]

Oh wow they got Harrison ford.

 

[TheGodfather07]

can't believe naughty dog went from creating characters like Nathan drake, sully, elena, Chloe and Joel, to this!? It gave me concord vibes!

 

[Topher]

[James Sawyer Ford]

lol a poor cover band wins. its like the bootleg beetles winning the best band at the brit awards.

lol cry moar

 

[Gaiff]

Astro Bot is pure unadulterated fun. No bullshit DEI agenda or beating you over the head with corny writing and walking sections.

Don’t hate.

 

[CosmicComet]

Astrobot winning goty feels so astroturfed.

Not a single person i know is talking about it.

Everyone is playing Wukong.

Definitely undeserved.

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

"Thanks to all the IP holders who allowed us to use their characters in Astrobot without asking for anything"

Square Enix:

I hope Doucet looked them dead in the eyes when he said it and gripped that award tight knowing it could have gone to rebirth.

Solid show overall, Onimusha is probably the biggest reveal for me.

Respect to Keighley for letting the muppets roast him to the high heavens: "Does Kojima know he's Geoff's friend?" and "DLC winning GOTY is like a pre-order bonus winning a lifetime achievement award" were both pretty great.

Honestly that's the biggest surprise for me tonight. That and Virtua Fighter.

Honestly RGG studio probably haven't slept in years.

 

[Danknugz]

if half life 3 exists my guess is they're waiting for the next headset / index to announce it and alyx was a huge beta for it, for devs getting used to the tech

 

[Mr Moose]

Really? I was thinking more along the lines of Cowboy Bebop.

Lmao. It fucking wishes.

It's a travesty that XVI won anything last year and Rebirth got a few nominations and only came away with best OST. I recognize Metaphor must be excellent, but I don't think people realize how Rebirth scaled up the traditional JRPG to modern standards in a way other studios just haven't done. It definitely deserves more recognition.

Solid show overall, Onimusha is probably the biggest reveal for me.

It really felt like a GAF or Reddit poster wrote all the muppet material this year, in the best way possible.

 

[Mr Moose]

Lmao. It fucking wishes.

Not the protagonist.

 

[Musashipan]

Worst tga ever, pathetic game of the year winner. What a waste of time

 

[LavitzSlambert]

It struck me as Cowboy Bebop meets Tarantino.

 

[bender]

[playbignbox]

I played Astro Bot with a smile on my face, it's so deserved. About the complaints, I'm just sad for those who didn't have the opportunity to play this wonder.

[LaughingStock]

That was so cringe I had to look away.

 

[splattered]

Damn Nintendo and Microsoft didn't have shit to show tonight... sticking to their own shows or just not ready to show shit? Disappointed there was no switch 2 reveal.

 

[LaughingStock]

DEI meets guardians of the galaxy. The first thing that came to mind was Concord.

Okami announcement 10/10
Rest of the show 6/10

 

[digital_ghost]

Half life 3 died so that steam could live .

 

[Jesb]

Was a good show overall. You can see they put alot of money and planning into it. Definitely has significantly improved over the years. Geoff making bank.

 

[manfestival]

So does anyone know what the super hype 2 games were that Jason Schreier was talking about? I imagine to him the new naughty dog game was one of them. Not quite sure what number 2 was

 

[AJUMP23]

I just saw the nameless kink in the Elden ring trailer.

 

[bender]

Okami announcement 10/10
Rest of the show 6/10

Ueda, Virtua Fighter

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Okay, I gotta give it to Geoff. He delivered this year. A lot of strong reveals. My favorites...

-Ueda's new game. I need that SOTC x Evangelion x BLAME! in my life​

​

-Onimusha: So glad to see it coming back​

​

-Josef's game: Looks pretty fun and dude just seems like a lot of fun​

​

-Almost everything SEGA showed off: the new RGG game looks crazy, Virtua Fighter 6 I can' wait to see more. All-Stars racing is back.​

​

-Intergalatic: From the '80s anime stuff (hopefully there's some of that in the game itself) to the space vibes, I'm in.​

There were a few other good-looking games revealed too but I need to check up their names again.

 

[MDSLKTR]

The real winners:

 

[Jakk]

If you honestly believe that Astro Bot was a better game than Space Marine 2, and you are a man, then you need to start wearing dresses. It's a stupid kid's game for manchildren.

Don't worry, you will cope with Astro Bot winning one day, as you are such a strong man.

 

[AJUMP23]

Naughty Dogs main character looks like they carried a mattress around their college campus to protest an event that never happened. Ready to lecture you about the patriarchy any second.

 

[Kerotan]

Astrobot winning goty feels so astroturfed.

On my friends list I've quite a few playing it and many more looking to get it.

[DragoonKain]

I trust Naughty Dog to make a good game. That doesn't mean I know it won't have DEI stuff in it, but I don't think you can necessarily tell from the trailer alone. The actress was in some other stuff, she was in Kaleidoscope on Netflix, she's a decent actress.

 

[//DEVIL//]

He wish that was true too. Astrobot lol

it was lame as hell, enough with the marvel movie jokey crap already

 

[OmegaSupreme]

One of the many reasons to hate joss whedon. He set that tone.

 

[balls of snow]

Just checked and Hellblade 2 won 2 awards. 1 more than Vii Rebirth. 2 more than Silent Hill 2.

 

[yansolo]

One of the many reasons to hate joss whedon. He set that tone.

yeah i dunno what it is, im a bit older and i know im not the target audience for these games anymore, but everything feels like it looks the same, sounds the same, jokey and schlocky. oh well

FUCK THE GAME AWARDS!
I had to say it.
