The Game Awards are being streamed tonight at 5:30pm PST.

 

 

A few of my friends are a bit angry with me because I saw the nominees and called the game awards out for being nonsense. Mario Odyssey is in virtually every catagory *Facepalm*.

 

 

 

At least the indie catagory seems fair though.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

I don't mind Super Mario Odyssey being in every category because I have it under good authority that it *is* that good (as with Breath of the Wild), but the rest of the choices are absolute bullcrap for certain. It seems like they only filled the ballots in with whatever fitted out of the top-selling games. I mean, Wolfenstein II for best narrative? Aloy for best performance? Destiny 2 for best ongoing game?! It was released this very year and *already* no one's playing it, ffs! These guys want to fashion themselves as some sort of video game Oscars (maybe? I don't know), but in order to even start thinking about it they've ought to start raising their standards considerably. They're not the Oscars right now, they're the MTV Movie Awards.

Well as long as I can get more Metro: Exodus footage out of it. Mind you I'll likely just watch the Youtube video that'll be uploaded shortly after it's revealed.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

I have nothing against video game award shows in particular. I don't like any award shows. I find them masturbatory... not that anything is necessarily wrong with that. They just aren't my jam.

Super Mario Odyseey is legit.

 

Also, I'm just hoping for some exciting game reveals. I read something rumor about a Portal announcement. I think Keighly and Kojima have something planned wrt Death Stranding.

It is weird. It seems that there are 6 games this year, and they just repeat them in every category.

 

Sounds like the Academy Awards.

Award shows are terrible.  Period.  Full stop.

 

The VGAs are terrible even by award show standards.  The one thing that makes them bearable is the TB & Genna Snarkathon, assuming you find The Cynical Brit bearable to begin with.

Actually TotalBiscuit (and steam) make a better yearly awards with totally made up categories like "one which step out of early access" or "game much better than it could" or "AAA title which doesnt make gaming worse". That are a real heroes.

So, is this the show where essentially the "Game of the Year" awards will go to the most advertised games, not the actual best games, 99% of the time?

Aren't the VGAs different than the TGAs?

 

VGAs where always super corporate, the TGA's where supposed to try and improve upon things. Last year was the first year, and while a bit cringy at times, was not all that bad. Recognition of Kojima, acknowledgement of the actual developers that poured their hard work and talent into games. It got sappy because I think a lot of people were really invested in building a gaming academy so to speak.

 

I don't think the TGAs are that much of a sell out, they are also rather young. I think it's future remains to be seen.

My fingers are crossed that this year's show is sponsored by Doritos, Mountain Dew, Monster Energy Drink, or Taco Bell.  Preferably, all of the above.

Better them than the publishers.

Starting now:

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

Both Cuphead and Breath Of The Wild winning all the awards was pretty cringey lol

 

There were so many games that were just as good if not etter but... oh well. It's how the world works.

It was okay. Mainly watched it for the reveals. I mean, I know the trailers get uploaded to YouTube right after but I feel special seeing them live.
