Can't believe they revived Another Code before Hotel Dusk.Next you’re going to tell me visual novels are games too. Wild.
It’s time to bring back Hotel Dusk hell yeah
Or like, a new Famicom Detective Club
Really? I remember Bioshock being everyone's favorite game that year.I mean if we say narrative is important to getting GOTY than that precludes Mario from ever winning again?
Remember Mario Galaxy actually beat Mass Effect for GOTY despite the latter also being extremely heavily praised for both it's gameplay and narrative
now that I'm looking at it back then there wasn't really one central GOTY show but multiple spread out onesReally? I remember Bioshock being everyone's favorite game that year.
Edit: Sorry for double-post
Cry about itI think it's annoying that people endlessly look for fault in things.
Voiced logical counter opinion afterwards. There was no crying.Cry about it
The difference is TGA’s pretends to care about being a prestige award show and celebrating the industry while awarding half of them off air and giving winners about 30 seconds to talk so they can fit in more ads and skits and big name cameos. Directs have never pretended to be about anything more than advertising the upcoming slate of Nintendo products.People watching the TGAs: It’s all ads smh
In the same breath: Anyway when is the next Nintendo Direct?
It's because it's a long show.I love ads but man something about TGA ads just drain me. I think its maybe that a lot of ads go for this high octane energy thing and the pacing is so fast between each one there is barely any time to catch my breathe. Its hard to even tell when the main show is happening and when its their “commercial” time sometimes lol.
Like Aonuma hasn't?Leave Kojima out of this, he's earned his stripes as much as anyone in the game industry
Not what I said.Like Aonuma hasn't?
They aren't framing him as a Hollywood guy, they're framing him as a guy with Hollywood friends who were given a ton of time to talk about their upcoming product, which is, like, not misinformation? It's a pretty accurate description of what happened? Jordan Peele, Norman Reedus, Guillermo Del Toro.. Kojima's been bringing Hollywood talent into his projects for a while, and I don't think it's misinformation to point out how those collaborations seem to be getting a lot more time because of the prestige those celebrities bring while Aonuma and the other devs who were supposed to be celebrated today were getting shuffled off the stage, sometimes literally before they were able to begin speakingNot what I said.
Framing Hideo Kojima, who has been directing video games for over 35 years, as some Hollywood guy comes off as petty, if not outright misinformed. No need to knock him and his work down a peg while pointing out the blatant favoritism.
For me it's because they show a load of trailers/ads in the show, and then have additional breaks to stuff in a load more adverts. Same issue I have with SGF - it's just an overload.I love ads but man something about TGA ads just drain me. I think its maybe that a lot of ads go for this high octane energy thing and the pacing is so fast between each one there is barely any time to catch my breathe. Its hard to even tell when the main show is happening and when its their “commercial” time sometimes lol.
Okay maybe I've been too hard on Kojima
I didn't watch this year's show because sleep was necessary, but judging from the online reaction on here and other places this seemed to be the most Keighly-ass Keighly show so far? He has been getting a lot more indulgent in recent times and maybe this show was the one that broke the camel's back a bit?
I've enjoyed the TGA's in the past but it always wrankled me a bit how they handled the actual awards, from the odd categorising and speeches to even the kind of games that got nominated. No-one wants a 5 minute long ramble from a developer who just won best simulation game, I get that. But for a ceremony that's supposed to celebrate everything good about the industry it's increasingly becoming a celebration of Geoff's mates and his sponsors instead.
Also, still kinda perplexed by Baldur's Gate 3's popularity, and I say this as a big D&D player and someone who's played it for 20 hours. But then again, Elden Ring's popularity eludes me too. Maybe I'm just getting old.
I agree with you, what I'm saying is that the thin paper that covered this up is increasingly peeling away and I think people are wising up to it.It’s literally never been anything other than this. Ever. It’s a compilation of adverts that uses the veneer of an awards ceremony to deflect any criticism. That’s what it was created to be, that’s what it’s always been.
Lol and even that I had forgotten honestly, even though the kid himself does show up on my Tiktok feed from time to time.people forget about these awards in a week by the way. The only thing people talk about from last year is the Bill Clinton kid
hellllll yeaaaaaahh
Boktai erasureYeah I agree with everyone, Kojima is trash and also has never made a good game, fetishizing Kojima when you have Award-winning creator Eiji Aonuma in the room is just embarrassing
It's a phenomenal experience yes, an absolute trip that veers from spine tingling tension to all out absurdity with an engaging, twisting story. Very glad it, and Remedy as a team, are getting the recognition it deserves.Was Alan Wake 2 that good?
Can’t believe it’s still going. It is what it is though. At least gamers have something. No need for me to watch it. Don’t appeal to me as a gamer.Distasteful show but what do you expect from GK...
