Do you feel hype for the TGA?

I just want the reveals and will keep refreshing Resetera to see new threads pop up instead of watching the show.
Yeah, all things considered, 2019 was a pretty lousy year overall so it's hard to really get hyped for its "gaming Oscars".
Really, the VGAs are more like the Daytime Emmys though.
Literally could not care less. Like all gaming shows, the sooner it's over the better so I can just look at a recap article with links to the trailers. These events are almost always a waste of time filled with cringey nonsense. Gaming culture, outside of the actual games themselves, is thoroughly terrible.
I'm hyped - I like looking forward to another mini E3-like event with new announcements.
Bring on the 5th and possibly 6th character of Smash!

Absolutely, I love the show. There's a lot going on and it feels like a celebration of gaming. The time for the event is just bit of a bummer as an European, I still try to catch it live though. Just don't know what my tactic should be, maybe few hours of napping before it begins.
Could not disagree more. Most gaming shows are long past the cringe fests from years past. And it's the best and most fun way to announce games. Looking at a list later sounds sterile as hell. And you realize that this forum comprises some amount of gaming culture, right?
I just want the BotW2 trailer. The actual awards show means nothing to me, but I'm sure it means a lot to those involved and gaining recognition for their work. Even if it is a bit more of a glorified advertising vehicle compared to other industry awards shows.
I want to see more of Ghost of Tsushima and FFVII Remake for sure, plus that new Batman game is probably going to appear. And Crash will be there too.
Thing is, and no disrespect to Geoff Keighley who I'm sure puts his absolute heart and soul into this event every year, I just don't don't want to sit through three hours of award speeches, constant advertising and lots of cringe to see those 20 or so minutes of gold. Definitely not at 3 in the morning anyway.
I'll just catch the highlights in the morning. I don't really like waking up to a myriad of news and would rather catch it live, but... I just don't give a shit about awards and speeches man. Especially when it's 3 in the morning.

I'll catch the news the day after and read about the event, so I won't be watching. I think awards are superlative, but important.
I did get a chuckle out of this description.
"The Game Awards is tonight, and it is bad. It's a showcase of adverts wrapped in the anxieties of an industry embarrassingly desperate to be taken seriously by mainstream culture. The awards are worthless."

Nope, it's too long. I'm just here for the game reveals and trailers so it helps to spice the show up via Easy Allies.
I appreciate seeing the smaller team's being recognized for their work, it's always such an authentic moment when they accept it. I'm glad they're much less cringey than before too.
The announcements are also exciting, but after Metroid Prime Trilogy for Switch last year was a no-show, I'm tempering my expectations more.

Reveals only, the awards I don't care about. That's a little inside baseball for me. Still, I'm glad that people in the industry receive peer recognition. Since I'm not in the industry I have no skin in the game.
I'm interested in whatever trailers/announcements happen, but I'll catch up on those the day after. I never watch the actual awards since most of the winners are games I don't care about.
This is how I feel. It's just a big commercial but I'm actually interested in seeing it because I want those games. I couldn't care any less about who gets what award at this live commercial ceremony, I just want to see trailers that I haven't seen before.
most just want to see the new trailers/reveals, i guess the awards have meaning/are a fun thing for the developers though
No because the awards are as predictably pro-corporate as possible. Like, it's 2019 and half the show will still be about Red Dead Redemption 2.
The few interesting moments, like how Dead Cells won a small (and only briefly featured during a segway) award will be so rare as to not be worth watching for.
I can just watch the reveal trailers on youtube later.

No not really.
Never been a fan of awards and the stuff I care about will be on youtube anyways,

I mean, I like games, not the marketing cycle around them. An article announcing a game is sufficient for me. I don't need a hysterical shrieking audience before a cut to a totally unrepresentative vertical slice of early alpha gameplay or a CG reveal that shows nothing sponsored by Mountain Dew. I'll also survive missing out on the award for Heated Gaming Moment of the Year.
