TotalBiscuit winning is the best thing to come out of the show.

Doge3428d ago (Edited 3428d ago )

I agree only because the butthurt that followed it was spectacular. Boogie presenting it made it even better.

Solid Award show form the listings in the link.

Good to see Nintendo get some recognition finally.

Most of those categories seemed like they got it right.

Wedge193428d ago

Nice comprehensive list. This year's show was the best so far, in terms of respecting the industry.

Conzul3428d ago (Edited 3428d ago )

Um....wut?

Transistor AND The Vanishing of Ethan Carter got beaten by...
....Shovel Knight

A Combat Card game(?) that I've never heard of was nominated above the likes of Sunset Overdrive and inFamous.

Keighley looked so vastly disinterested during his award handouts...I don't know how the winners kept it together...

The only bright spots at all were Conan O'Brian's bits and the King's Quest stuff.

FlameBaitGod3428d ago

So just because you haven't heard of it, it isn't popular ? LOL I dk if serious of trolling.

Yehshuah3428d ago

i was one the people commenting on live feed

DragoonsScaleLegends3428d ago

Some of the winners are laughable at best.

Gamer7773428d ago

This was far better than the old VGAs and Spike TV game awards. I wish the game industry had something more comparable to the Oscars/Emmys with less blatant advertisement.

DragoonsScaleLegends3428d ago

Everyone at the Oscars/Emmys are millionaires. While top game developers can make good money, it doesn't come close to a million dollars. Game developers are more worthy but it's a less rewarding industry. So there is no money coming from individual developers but the big billion dollar corporations that are willing to give a little for some advertisements. But I agree it was so much better than last years trash.

Gamer7773428d ago

That is not what I meant. I don't want to see publishers funding award shows by doing advertisements during the show. Instead the award show should be funded by a non gaming related party.

Anonagrog3428d ago (Edited 3428d ago )

The 'BAFTA Games Awards' somewhat fits the bill there, though it's a fairly small ceremony because of it. It's still fairly prestigious none-the-less, and a shame we don't have more like it.

OPINION: Why The Game Awards Continue To Be Controversial and Bloated

The Game Awards have been done for a few days now, but if you think that people are done talking about its "events," you'd be sadly mistaken," as this is a topic that will be talked awhile for months. Here is what The Outerhaven has to say about it all.

Are people really crying cause there was a bunch of trailers. How can you not see that as a good thing. Am I missing something

shadowhaxor132d ago

The show is called "The Game Awards." Having less time for actual awards, is basically what everyone is getting upset at. Not just us, but most people who actually cared about the event.

TGA 2023 Felt Like A Successor To E3, For Better or Worse

A lot of substance, not enough respect.

gold_drake135d ago

i dont quite understand what people want this award show to be ?
a ridiculous woke environmental climate friendly show or a show about videogames?

not everything needs to be addressed. most people dont know the ins and outs of everything going on in the industry and therefore dont rly care all too much.

lets focus on the games and not on specific groups of people alone.

anast134d ago

I would take an hour of gameplay and in game trailers, and an hour of interviews and award acceptance. They need to strip out all of the other nonsense. This event should not just be one long advertisement, they have already raided our wallets. Shows like this are supposed to be for the gamers and the culture of the industry.

gold_drake134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

sure but what kind of advertisement, besides hamepass haha, did we see?

we saw alot of awards being given out, loads of trailers etc.
ok, to your point, we saw an ad for the fallout show.

i agree on the celebrity thing, there was literally no need for some of them to ve there. at all lol.

but other than that ... comedy stuff wasnt rly advertisement.

anast134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

They need to show gameplay, most trailers are adverts for preorders. One example is that Banishers advert trying to sell the collectors edition plastic statue.

Obscure_Observer135d ago

Well, if E3 is really dead, TGA will obviously take its place.

BrainSyphoned134d ago

I watched the MW3 joke and then a compilation of the trailers. E3 I'd at least watch a few showcases. They both are mostly irrelevant.
PS and Nintendo show off what they have made in their own videos. Xbox lets us know what they have bought/monopolized monthly for game pass, you don't need anything more than that.

Jingsing134d ago

It is Geoff Keighleys vanity show, stopped watching it years ago.

ROCKY28134d ago

TRASH TRASH TRASH
Bring E3 back and all is good

JK does both GA & GF for his own self profit
Jeff could not find another job if he tried - the very green production is always off and has major problems
Kill both shows and the world will be in a better place !
