>what the fuck is ahppening Vidya Gaem Awards is a Sup Forums-exclusive yearly award show meant to award the best and the worst of vidya. In December Sup Forums had nominations to select possible candidates for potential categories. Then in January anons voted to decide who wins year-relevant categories. All garbage outsider votes have been filtered. The end result is a video award presentation along with community-submitted skits, bumpers and a few other things to finish it off. The Sup ForumsGAs are a tradition for over 7 years now. Where did the time go, right?
I swear to god if Cuphead and its generic jazz beats Nier for best OST
Hunter Ramirez
Twitch and YouTube
Chase Smith
fuck that was the wrong image
ATTACHED IS THE SCHEDULE FOR DIFFERENT TIMEZONES. As you can see, there will also be reruns immediately after the show, so if you're late or can't make it in time, you can still potentially enjoy some of it.
Here are the categories: 2017.vidyagaemawards.com/vote Clicking on any of them should still allow you to pick and equip the loot you earned during voting.
Christopher Thompson
I expect either P5 or Nier:A to win best OST, but wouldn't be surprised if Zelda or Cuphead actually wins it.
>if this godforsaken NintendoGAF board >Nintendo has never one a single Sup Forumsgas award Really makes you think
Elijah Nguyen
I did. Either way it won't win
Aiden Cook
Neither game deserves an award. Pretentious weeaboo fapbait is not so much better.
Mason Robinson
I know it won't win, see But it had some pretty good music, not the best of the year, but pretty good
Jacob Anderson
>>Nintendo has never one a single Sup Forumsgas award What are you talking about
Michael James
Souls/Kojima/Platinum games have quite a history of dominating Sup Forumsgas so I could see Nier winning
Adrian Lee
But they did win a few awards. Bayo 2 won GOTY when it came out. I remember that causing tons of butthurt. Splatoon and Super Mario Maker also won a few awards. I have no doubt in my mind that BOTW will win a few awards as well this year, SMO probably as well.
Austin Parker
>>>Nintendo has never one a single Sup Forumsgas award Another award won by Nintenblow.
Matthew Jenkins
>/vr/ award You have basically proven my point. >Bayo 2 won GOTY Platinum Games != Nintendo
Brayden Miller
Sorry, Nintendo has never one a legitimate non-meme award at the Sup Forumsgas
John Sanchez
I'd rather Zelda than Nier and I'm a fucking Sonybro. Nier is complete garbage for pseudo intellectual weebs.
Wyatt Foster
Bayo 2-3 belongs to Nintendo and Sega though.
Benjamin Hughes
Platinum is not Nintendo
Ian Parker
It's exclusive though.
Carter King
Desperate soytenbro
Matthew Turner
I agree, but it's still a Platinum Game
Kevin Foster
>I am extremely thankful to Nintendo for funding the game, and to Sega for allowing them to use the Bayonetta IP. (9/15) >All of the rights still belong to Sega and Nintendo. The rights owners decided that the game should be made for Switch. (11/15)
>if I say it's a meme award then it doesn't count It's the same as >if I say console X has no games then it means I'm right You literally have no arguments to refute him.
Jose Rodriguez
I agree with everything you green-texted and linked but it doesn't stop Platinum from being the developer.
Jacob Foster
>FF7 >FFT >SotN If one of these doesn't win...
Cooper Turner
>if I say it's a meme award then it doesn't count New IP and IP twist are so subjective and impossible to identify that it's a meaningless award for games that don't win GOTY or any genre award. They mean LITERALLY nothing
Carson Wood
>They mean LITERALLY nothing They mean something as long as anons vote on them. Your personal lack of appreciation does in no way disqualify the part of the voters who deemed the award important enough.
Dominic Brooks
>They mean something as long as anons vote on them Right they mean, "I like this game but not enough to win an actual award" >Your personal lack of appreciation Nothing to do with the lack of value in these two shitty awards
Angel Hall
>that deb of night at the start KINO
Wyatt Gomez
Let me quote your original post again. >>Nintendo has never one a single Sup Forumsgas award
And I showed you that it did win awards. YOUR SUBJECTIVE VALUE FOR THOSE AWARDS IS MEANINGLESS. NINTENDO WON AWARDS. END OF RINE
Nolan Jackson
i live in sweden so, it will start 20:00 right?
Luis Reyes
Based on this preshow starts for you at 21:43, main show at 23:00.
Connor Ramirez
OK I'll amend my post for you >Nintendo has only ever won two of the most worthless awards ever conceived purely to have more awards that they obviously wouldn't count by anyone with commonsense Happy?
Adrian Brooks
>The Reddit Awards
Anthony Murphy
And to be clear I'm not saying this is exclusive to Nintendo, if you're not Valve, FROM, Kojima, Platinum or the Indie of the Month your game has a hard time in general
Gabriel Butler
Best new IP is a very commonly used award given by many sites and publications.
Easton Ramirez
you should go back there
Dominic Stewart
Right, and it fails to bring anything of value their either. Awards fall onto the power hierarchy of granularity and specialty. GAME OF THE YEAR, is all encompassing while GAME OF THE YEAR ON PLATFORM is far more finer detail, while BEST OST of the year takes a specialty of the field of gaming and also finds something of value. "IP" is a marketing issue, and not of value for vidya awards and "twist" isn't sure if it means spin-offs or sequels and makes it hard to discern if it means IMPROVEMENT or DISPLACEMENT from the original mechanics (Super Mario World vs Mario Kart as an example)
Justin Anderson
good luck for tonight guys, I'll be watching
Hunter Green
>Sup Forumsga's
Isaiah Perry
nier and zelda will sweep unfortunately i hope the skits will be fun at least
Samuel James
literally who cares
Lucas Martin
More anons voted this year than in 2016, 2015 or 2014 so it seems there's quite a few who still care.
Jordan Mitchell
>zelda will sweep First Sup Forumsgas?
William Watson
2B's BUTT!!!!!
Christian Phillips
Previous video game awards (minus meme, indie, one shot or otherwise inconsistent awards)
Robert Harris
I know I'm late to make this ""suggestion"", but could you make the nominated vids last longer than 3 seconds? I remember watching a VGA where shit was going so fast you couldn't even tell who the fuck just won
Grayson Ross
I guess you are entitled to your opinion. We will have to agree to disagree. But in a world of sequels all the time, it is nice to reward people that take a chance on a brand new IP with a category they can win without being crushed by MegaBlockbuster AAA Game 37.
Nicholas Moore
>in a world of sequels all the time, it is nice to reward people that take a chance on a brand new IP with a category There is absolutely NO guarantee a "new IP" has fresh gameplay or new mechanics or a new genre, I could make a Zelda 1 clone that is identical in all but models and because it's a new IP it would be a nominee. Fresh mechanics WOULD be a better award but still difficult to define
Jose Baker
That was probably 2012. The nominees were presented in the order of least voted to most voted so the winner didn't get as much exposure.
Jayden Perry
More like people have forgotten about its cringey beginnings and think it's a thing now
Henry Long
Except people "take chances with new IP" all the time, it's just they aren't considered because they aren't large companies rehashing Mario so their "new IP" falls under awards like Best Indie instead. More or less, IP-based awards only exist to throw a bone to nintendo in a year where they don't have a new system that needs an exaggerated show of validation.
Isaiah Nelson
I never said a new IP had to break new ground. Let's face it, video games have been around for a while now, it is extremely rare that ANYONE makes a truly creative new idea with a game. Every genre has been done to death by this point. No matter what kind of game you make you will be able to find something that inspired it to some degree. All "New IP" means is it isn't attached to an already known quantity and is thus free to stand on its own merits as a game. Most people go into a sequel with a pre-existing idea of what the game will be like and how good it should be. New IPs really only have developer/publisher pedigree to go on... and truly new IPs by indie studios that have never put out a game before often don't have that. It's really only games like the latter that can truly be appreciated for what it is without any preconceived notions on how good it will be.
Jaxson Foster
>More or less, IP-based awards only exist to throw a bone to nintendo in a year where they don't have a new system that needs an exaggerated show of validation What?
Henry Ortiz
Nintendo's last new IP before Splatoon was Pikmin which came out in 2001. Every notable title they have released between then was a sequel of some sort.
Jose Barnes
Tomorrow sunday will be good.
Nolan Edwards
>All "New IP" means is it isn't attached to an already known quantity and is thus free to stand on its own merits as a game Bloodborne.
Daniel Sanchez
>Nintendo's last new IP before Splatoon was Pikmin Steel Divers was before 2001? Also Wii Sports? What about the others?
Dylan Moore
No. Fifth or sixth.
Joshua Morris
Ah well, it's weird you know so little about the awards
Eli Russell
>VGA
Ayden Morris
We'll see.
Charles Peterson
Hello, Ratto
Hunter Reyes
>Implying it's surprising this shit is always "let's watch the flavor of the month win all the awards!"
John Morgan
Oh great can't wait for another year of unfunny normalfags tier memes skits and weebs trash games for virgins to win every category!
Sup Forums is so original and full of surprise!
Evan Sullivan
>hates on weebs Stop breathing.
Henry Howard

Ian Ross
Yeah, it's gonna be great!
Jack Taylor
more of that comic? not the whore, the skellington jokes
Camden Price
>BotW will win all the bad awards >over Andromeda Then can we finally bury the Nintendogaf meme?
Brayden Wilson
I'd rather Nier than Zelda and I'm a fucking Nintenbro. Zelda is complete garbage for barely literate kiddies.
Daniel Flores
NintendoGAF mobilizing itself when it finally has a game or two to show off.
Liam King
So from the look of this thread it seems it doesn't matter who wins, Nier or Zelda. Someone is going to bitch and not be happy with any of this.
Ian Brown
Reddit has raped my Sup Forums.
Angel Sullivan
Nier should win. If BoTW then it means this board is hypocritical as fuck for hating on all those Ubisoft games a while back.
Hudson Long
What you have for the shitshow that is this thing is, more often than not, three type of people. The first are the fanboys that absolutely want their current favorite cumdump to win and who will bitch nonsensically if it doesn't The second are the haters that can't accept it might win and will bitch nonsensically if it does The third are a minority of people who are just legitimately mildly interested.
Every fucking years it's the same shit. Every fucking years nobody is surprised by the results.
Isaac Moore
That's fuckin adorable
