"See you next year"

Yeah I can't wait to see who's shaft you're rubbing next, TGA.

Whatever. It kills a couple hours. So its fine.

 

[Knight Dude]

I thought for a half second that Metroid Prime 4 was finally getting at least a trailer. But I completely lost interest right after.

disappointment aside, it does show how much faith Marvel and Insomniac have in Miles getting to headling a movie and a video game while still being 9 years old. So major props on them for that. Black Panther I can understand since Spidey and X-Men were really the only ones to constantly get big games (unfortunately Avengers ****ed up any chances in more solo properties getting solo games). Would kill for another X-Men game, and more Storm is never bad (a whole year since she and other mutants was in a console game is too long of a wait)...weird how DC has rarely made games outside of Batman involved titles. You'd think there would be a good Superman game or something with Wonder Woman.

Yeah, The amount of games super heroes could get would be sick, but they do play it safe for the most part, even if Spider-Man is my favorite.

The Flash is another DC character I'd want.

Cyberpunk 2077

I'll say the Sepiroth reveal HEAVILY carried it.

I will say this was probably worse than the 2019 Game Awards.

 

[Wademan94]

Well THAT was a thing. Least we got Sephiroth out of it.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I had to keep repeating no to myself without raging. This went on for five minutes.

It helped.

 

[Aurane]

Cyberpunk 2077

Probably, yeah.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Atleast we got Kirby with Sepiroth hair, so it balance it out... Ish.

Now it's time I actually sleep, see ya.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

animal crossing - basically brought people's parents back into gaming for the first time properly since the wii era
ffvii - been heavily demanded for a couple of decades, was praised to high heaven upon release
persona 5 royal - definitive port of a fan favourite
the last of us part 2 - ???

 

[Ridley64]

THAT OVER NEW HORRIZIONS? WTF?

 

[Will]

you gotta admit the best thing AC got out of the awards was that bomb ass symphonic remix

 

[Aurane]

Well, anyways. We got a new song and god damn Sephiroth.

Honestly, I should have played Minecraft and took a shower after Sephiroth was revealed.

I haven't played TLOU2. The reason why I don't really like it is the discourse is plaguing, and the whole situation with the multiple crunches makes me disgusted. Yeah, a lot of gaming companies do this, but still.

There better not be just ONE song.

Would honestly not be surprised if One Winged Angel was the only new track added.

But if we get two we better be gettin that JENOVA!!!!

 

[Deleted member]

Okay, I am going to go.

Don't let the discourse get too toxic. Farewell!

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

begs the question, are we actually going to get more than 2 final fantasy songs now

 

[Noipoi]

There better not be just ONE song.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

 

[Shroob]

The fact that we're not gonna be able to say "TWO FINAL FANTASY SONGS!" anymore is....

 

[Lamperouge]

I got Sephiroth and a new trailer for Monster Hunter Rise so I'm pretty content with this year's show.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

So I COULD have slept through that then.

I appreciate that TLOU took a risk with it's storytelling but it's not the greatest game of the year. And not to attack a community who I respect but how dodgy the work conditions, the thematic shoved right into the face and well, zombies are pretty generic enemy type caused by an event which is kinda ironic in regards to this year.

It was overhyped and shouldn't be remembered outside of it's storytelling risk, performances and music.

Still an amazing surprise in Smash at least.

animal crossing - basically brought people's parents back into gaming for the first time properly since the wii era
ffvii - been heavily demanded for a couple of decades, was praised to high heaven upon release
persona 5 royal - definitive port of a fan favourite
the last of us part 2 - ???

Ghost of Tsushima - A love letter to Samurai Cinema and the type of game people have dreamt of FOR YEARS.

Doom Eternal - Doom cranked up to 11. All they needed and did.

Hades - A brilliant game coming from one of the most respected indie developers of all time.

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

Let this be a reminder that we ALL know whos the REAL winner unlike the garbage judges and media think...

 

[MooMew64]

The fact that we're not gonna be able to say "TWO FINAL FANTASY SONGS!" anymore is....

Now, we can finally say...

THREE Final Fantasy songs!!!

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Still think Doom Eternal should’ve won GotY. TLoU2 is good and it’s the literal video game equivalent to Oscar Bait but whatever I guess. It matters but all in all I think Doom Eternal will always have a longer lasting legacy. Why? Because it’s fun.

 

[ZephyrZ]

There better not be just ONE song.

Of course we're getting more then just one new song.

We're getting two.

 

[R O F L]

Meanwhile The Game Awards in the best timeline:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Deleted member]

Welp, that was my first Game Awards.

It was............ alright. Nothing really caught my interest, but it was fine.

Sucks that Animal Crossing didn’t win GOTY though.....

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

And now to present the award for best The Last of Us Part 2, here is our special guest - The Last of Us Part 2

Thanks The Last of Us Part 2, its an honour to be a part of The Last of Us Part 2, and the award for best The Last of Us Part 2 goes to The Last of Us Part 2

At least I have to remember this and FFVII Remake getting best score.

Also the GOTY medley wasn't as great despite being a fan of Lorne Balfe, probably cause it wasn't in the studio.

I'm just disappointed with so many wanted games in limbo (Bayonetta 3, BOTW 2 etc) that I expected a far bigger show honestly. I know very well to temper expectations.

Just this, Cyberpunk being a disappointment and the travesty of Brexit crashing and burning (being from said part with the border that needs to be kept open otherwise it could cause a return to the past of my home) has put me on guard.

Oh well, I've got TWEWY sequel and Laid Back Camp virtual reality announced the past few weeks so law of equivalent exchange I suppose.

 

[Z25]

I mean it was obviously rigged as hell. The Last of Us was to controversial imo for people to vote for it above any of the other games. The vote would be too split. But whatever, smash was pretty wild.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So everyone's overall thoughts of this years the VGA?

Certainly better than last year. Besides no God of War: Ragnarok gameplay or trailer and TLoU 2 winning GotY (Should have been Doom Eternal or Ghost of Tsihima), it was a fun one. The Smash reveal also made up for it as well.

Stopped watching after Sephiroth/10


I'm soo thankful they put it at the start.

GROOVY

Now I don't need Mortal Kombat 11.

Also, I got really hyped with this shot from the Sephiroth trailer:

Spoiler

It may not be the DQ8 Hero, but finally we got a high quality CGi shot of Samus and a DQ Hero sharing screentime

The new Ghost & Goblins looks really dope too.

Cyberpunk 2077

The Gamer jack off cycle:
Naughty Dog -> CDPR -> Rockstar

Repeat

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

The next DLC character has got to be Marth, from Fire Emblem. I would put money on it.

Yeah, The amount of games super heroes could get would be sick, but they do play it safe for the most part, even if Spider-Man is my favorite.

The Flash is another DC character I'd want.

that GBA version of Justice League Heroes wasn't enough for Flash, and they could easily use video games to push lesser known stars (or on DC's case, build Harley Quinn up even more) to make them rise
