Game Awards are shit

Just watched this shit and fuck it I need to rant.

>ads
I'm fine with ads, everyone needs them to make money, but

>having every award's nominees pulled from a pool of the same 6 games
>creating categories just to award a certain game
>listing off all the winners in 10 seconds
>transparent yahtzee plug; better off showing a regular ad
>le progressive oprressed womynz shit
>awards going to undeserving games
>geoff keighly

Geoff is good at setting up shows and doing interviews, but he has no charisma whatsoever. He should let someone else host the show but his ego would never allow it.

On top of a lack of charisma, he is completely unbelievable. His smiles and enthusiasm for games, Kojima, etc are so fucking phony. He doesn't give a shit about games.

On top of that he's a bitch. He continually wants to call people out or put them on the spot, which is a good trait for an interview-not a show host, but then he gets triggered as fuck anytime people call him out on his shit or try to put him on the spot.

Only good announcements were Bayonetta 3 and Soulcalibur 6

F U C K

THE

Just don't watch it next time, then. Do you even remember what Spike TV was like a few years ago? Or that messy Joel McHale shitfest?
Pope is at least trying to make it worth your time.

tl;dr: FUCK OFF

i dont give a shit, its a show for normie gamers, ill just wait for crowcat compilation

Why did eSports gamer of the year award get given out during the show and have 2 reels of nominations. Why not the Sound Design category?

>Geoff is good at setting up shows and doing interviews, but he has no charisma whatsoever. He should let someone else host the show but his ego would never allow it.

This so much. Very accurate.

>creating categories just to award a certain game
I enjoyed the Hideo Kojima Award of Excellence category that only Hideo Kojima can win.

For the Twitch/streaming audience and Koreans

JEWS

one of the biggest problems with the format of the show is how they skip over a shitton of categories by just mentioning they won with literally no fanfare and immediately moving on or even during another category when the same game wins. i get they have time constraints but it still cheapens those awards (even moreso), at least make a minute long video running through the category without the drawn out presenter or something

>Why not the Sound Design category?

I'll be real with you no one gives a shit about sound design.

Joel Mchale made it the show pretty fucking funny honestly. I have to hand it this year, there really wasn't anything cringeworthy. I found the creator of A Way Out particularly great, but I can see why people dislike him, or the old lady bit, or skimming toppings.

It was fucking leagues above previous years. Remember the dancing Gilette razor man? Jesus christ. I'm glad Geoff is atleast making forward progress.

>Geoff is good at setting up shows and doing interviews, but he has no charisma whatsoever.

He mutters while choking himself with copious amounts of Dewritos.

FUCK

>listing off all the winners in 10 seconds
This part actually made me kek

THE

OSCARS

Doritos asked him to do the show in the Doritos Pope outfit and he turned them down. He should have done it.

FUCK DID YOU THINK
IMA SURELY RUN IN THE FUCKING BANK

It made me realise just how niche fighting games really are. Award for best student game gets highlighted with a 5 min segment, fighting game winner was like, "hey here's ed boon and his game won" Cheers game awards

Tfw a literal childrens game won best strategy.

>Look at awards 'jury'
>51 game journo sites

Ah yes now I understand why the winners were >insert big name company here

>total warhammer 2
>Xcom war of the chosen
>mario leddit
>furry indie game

>mario leddit wins best "strategy" game

Its a normie shitfest for casual and couch gamers who are too dumb to think for themselves the fact that overwatch that is barely an esport that has no scene and that is watched by nobody won the best esports award over games like csgo dota and lol that fill the arenas have tournaments worth millions with millions watching and following the same tournaments, have millions of players, the game where pro players are basically celebrities, etc proves that it is indeed normie shitfest for couch gamer masses who follow whats trendy or buy what the big corporations are telling them to do, those people think that skyrim and zelda are pinnacle of gaming. thats the exact audience for game awards.

I think everybody knows it's shit but it's no different the oscars or grammys, it's all just for sponsors.
Just like how they have a random celebrity give awards, they have Conan explain the GOTY contenders.

For curiosity, what do you guys think can improve for The Game Awards?

Better host.
Better announcements.
More nominees from a wider range of games in each category.
Drop esports, student game, etc shit awards entirely.
Have everyone vote, not just cucked, underpaid soyboy game bloggers who only play AAA games on easy
