Guys. Imagine it. Geno. At the game awards.

It would be a fitting time to announce him because I'll be sleeping during TGA.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I doubt it

That’s a healthy way to look at it. I certainly don’t expect anything. But I do have lots of hopes.

 

[Lamperouge]

Guys. Imagine it. Geno. At the game awards.

I'd rather see a whole bunch of other characters over Geno.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Guys. Imagine it. Geno. At the game awards.

"Who?"
-Most of viewers probably

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Where did all this Geno hate come from? Reminds me of the attitude towards Banjo here before his reveal.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Twitch banning the Blind play category because blind people might be offended...When they can't see the category to be offended.

They need to ban walkthroughs next for paraplegics

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Steve's reveal definitely had something special about it.

I think it has something to do with Minecraft's origins and stuff. It's legit one of the biggest success stories in video games period. It went from this quaint little indie to one of the absolute biggest and most influential games on the planet.You don't see something like this every day.

Plus Smash is a game with a lot of focus on Japanese franchises. Minecraft is only our second western series on the roster after Banjo Kazooie. On top of that Steve is out first western character where Nintendo had no involvement in their creation whatsoever. That's pretty monumental when you think about it.

It's still surreal to see Minecraft go from this little game my friend recommended me to the latest third party character added to Smash

 

[Z25]

How does this bode for a Smash reveal?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Wario Bros.]

Still going with my gut that there's a 15% chance of Smash being at The Game Awards.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I dunno, Steve kinda just felt like an obvious inclusion and the trailer worked really well. I also disagree with the notion that any character is "undeserving" of being in Smash, even if it's something like an anime character. But that's a whole nother can of worms I don't feel like talking further about.

Thing is to me, Steve sticks out like a sore thumb. And he still does after his inclusion. Feels SO awkward to play him with his character blocks and feels worse than when we had G&W. That's me and I'm entitled to my own opinion here.

Not everyone has to like every character.

I don't see why it should be any different for Banjo and Geno.

 

[Megadoomer]

Wait... I thought NMH was a hack and slash? What’s all this about leveling up and earning money? It’s not level to level?

It's a hack and slash for the most part, but between the hacking and slashing, you have to earn money to pay an "entrance fee" to take on the next assassin. (along with getting upgrades, buying outfits for Travis, and improving Travis's strength and health)

You do this by completing odd jobs (like finding lost kittens, collecting coconuts, or bomb disposal) and assassination missions (you need to complete the odd jobs to unlock new assassination missions, which involve things like killing 100 people, or assassinating the CEO of Pizza Butt before he can build a chain of his restaurant in Santa Destroy).

Where did all this Geno hate come from? Reminds me of the attitude towards Banjo here before his reveal.

It seems like a big part of it is that he's a popular choice, which means that he's "in the way" of other characters becoming DLC. (mainly Mario characters or Square-Enix characters, though with only four characters left for Smash Ultimate, anyone who's popular enough is seen as a "threat" to their most-wanted getting in by some people)

 

[Wademan94]

Guh-Huzzah! Have you heard about this yet?

And if you have then WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME SOONER?!/s

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Guys. Imagine it. Geno. At the game awards.

Give me Crash or give me death

Crash vs Mario vs Sonic is a headline. Why he isn't revealed yet is beyond me

 

[Deleted member]

It would be a fitting time to announce him because I'll be sleeping during TGA.

Real Talk: I don't get why there are still people who want to watch the Game Awards live after what happened last year.

I'm honestly gonna do like you because I feel It won't be worth It to spend time without sleeping on such a "event".

For me, it's three reasons:

Reveals like these are at least enough of a reason for me to keep it on in the background while I do other things.

 

[Lamperouge]

I'll have TGA playing in the background while I'm doing other **** so it's not like it'll be a complete waste of time.

Last year was appearently an outlier. Some people think this year could be better and I can see where they are coming from.

As for me, I literally has no choice but sleeping through it because it's like in the middle of the night for me.

Yeah, it is in the middle of the night for me too.

And I feel I should have way more sleep after the stressful weeks I had with all the family drama and such.

Oh yeah, the Muppets segment was at least funny from what I heard.

 

[Guynamednelson]

not gimmicky enough after min min and steve

i will never let go of this

 

[Z25]

If we do still get a reveal here, I think there’s 4 candidates they could go with.

Crash
Doom Guy
Jonsey
Sora

But 3 of them have a presence here and sora doesn’t. Not that it matters but i could see them line advertising up here.

 

[TheMightyP]

Last year for TGA, I went to celebrate my friend's birthday instead, and there was nearly nothing of any note that was shown off, so I missed nothing.

This year may be interesting with new consoles however.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Guh-Huzzah! Have you heard about this yet?

And if you have then WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME SOONER?!/s

I have never seen this, though I am now intrigued. I shall watch once I finish playing Ori for the time being.

 

[Megadoomer]

Watching Bumblebee - I didn't get to see it in theaters, and I've heard that it's one of the better Transformers movies.

EDIT: Blitzwing didn't last anywhere near as long as I thought he would - not sure who's going to be the movie's villain now, aside from John Cena.

 

[TheMightyP]

The thing with Steve is, for a game that wants to hail itself as a "celebration of gaming", Steve had to be in the game. You can't say you're celebrating all of gaming and then just ignore the best selling and most popular gamebof all time, which still racks up absurd numbers on the daily basis.

And for those saying Mii Swordfighter costume, that would've been an injustice to Minecraft. Would you like it if Banjo was a Duck Hunt echo? Or if Doom Guy was just a Mii Gunner costume and nothing more?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

How does this bode for a Smash reveal?

That means world premiere games, last I checked.

So it means nothing.

Unless you mean specifically "Oh, we're definitely getting new stuff beyond new games", then yes?

Trying my best to get in to the Christmas spirit:

My first exposure to Minecraft was the demo on Xbox 360, and my brother bought it later on.
A little later on from then, my brother bought it on Xbox One and I got that Xbox One from him for Christmas 2016, then I bought it on Android in April 2019. Now I'm looking to buy it on Switch.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Gonna play in another P+ tourney. Gonna be my first since October.

I'm just hoping to have some fun and to not be too hard on myself. I've been working on my mentality for so long.

Begins at 8. Let's do this.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I have now finished both Ori And The Blind Forest and Ori And The Will Of The Wisps. AAAAGGGGHHH MY HEART.

...I wouldn't have been bothered if Banjo & Kazooie was a costume, but they can't actually be an echo, so. Change that to costume, and your point is a bit more grounded. Not saying it's a bad point either~

Nor with Doom Guy. I have zero issues with costumes. The fact the content is there is what satisfies me. If he isn't going to be playable, he damn well should get something.

Now, I would've called foul if Banjo & Kazooie never showed up in any way. It, Halo, and Minecraft are like the three pillars of Microsoft at this point. Okay, less so Banjo, admittedly. I'm waiting for Halo to get something. Even Spirits would be fine.

But you could say I'm not picky like others are about "exactly what it should be". And I don't see any real issue of "I'd hate 'em as a costume" either as long as you can simply accept that not everyone can make it in and get why it was that or nothing. No reason you shouldn't be disappointed, etc.

Splatoon and Minecraft were such huge parts of my hobbies back during the mid-to-late 2010s that seeing them both in this game together really just boggles my mind, honestly. Like, it really is a dream come true for me.

Does it? That would make more sense though.

Me trying to cop that Ps5 from everywhere

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly, I will probably not get a PS5 until a long while.

I haven't touched my PS4 Pro in ages, and there just aren't much PlayStation games that interest me, especially with I have the GamePass.

 

[drag0nscythe]

I only have a switch for smash really. other games were pity purchases to make me feel like I did not waste my money on the system. Been having fun with it. I never purchased any of the newer generate consoles outside the switch. old I guess.

 

[Deleted member]

I bought a Switch for Metroid Prime 4, Mario Odyssey and BotW and ended up using It a lot for Dragon Quest XI S, Smash Ultimate and Animal Crossing.
