Geoff we need talk, how could you not present best RPG on stage?

[Trojita]

You gave time for Best Ongoing Game over one of the largest staples of gaming? A genre eternally linked with the history of video gaming? C'mon.

P.S. Thanks for presenting that award to Carol Shaw

 

[Loganclaws]

Yes dunno wtf they're doing. Also, how did divinity 2 not win?

 

[Donthizz]

that was fucked up

 

[Tanuto]

When did they announce it? I didn't even notice...

 

[Cess007]

Not enough AAA games in that genre for their like, is my guess? :(

 

[Sola Scriptura]

I'll tell you how:

The Game Awards is designed to appeal to lowest common denominator gaming.

 

[Xavi]

I agree, these rushed awards killed the hype for me.

 

[Ushay]

Yeh man, that felt really cheap.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

Conan summed up why.

 

[Clive]

They're not focusing on any individual genres. Edit: except 'action' I guess.

Best eSports Player
Best Ongoing Game
Best Debut Indie Game

But no Persona 5 best RPG moment:/

 

[Maiden Voyage]

The rapid fire announcement of like 5 awards was anticlimactic.

 

[Zelretch]

or the soundtrack one in the pre-show, because soundtracks are varely important right? it pissed me a lot.

 

[Serrato]

But was it sponsored by Shick Hydro?!?

 

[Stowaway Silfer]

Disgraceful.

 

[AegonSnake]

didnt you hear him in the preshow? he doesnt want to present genre video game awards. he wants to create new ones.

 

[Hammee]

Divinity didn't win? Unbelievable.

 

[Phire Phox]

They rapid fire announced it with like 3 other categories. I think it was after the debut indie game.

Bunch of awards got skipped over. Stop being salty your precious jrpg didn't get time to shine on stage

 

[bsigg]

They've skipped a ton of awards. I don't see the issue.

 

[JINX]

That was really shitty, especially for such a major category.

 

[kennyamr]

I saw the same think. My friend is also fuming :p Like what? D:

So you Ax your bullshit interview stuff and cut speeches short.

 

[Possum Armada]

Let's be honest here...most people aren't watching for the awards. ;)

 

[FluxWaveZ]

A bunch of awards will always be skipped over. It's the nature of this show. It's unfortunate that Persona 5 didn't get more time in the spotlight, but them's the breaks.

Wonder what happened to this:


Might have been meant to be part of the orchestral performance, but then it was edited down or something.

Then they should learn that you should always pay attention and acknowledge the most enthusiastic fans, and be informed from there if not in part.

Or at the least balance it better. That's how you build new enthusiastic fans. Ask Nintendo.

 

[Ra]

If you're going to rob Divinity Original Sin 2, you should do so with the least fanfare as possible.

 

[Estarossa]

Oh, if Divinity: OS2 didn't win then they can keep it. The Nioh snub wasn't cute either!

 

[SweetNicole]

Please keep all discussion to the OT for now. Thanks!
