With all the Nintendo characters not convince you to get the game, Joker announcement what changed your opinion? lol
dude/dudette...you are my hero for this! haha
edit: and who is the guy to the right who looks like he just walked off the set of a The Office episode?
OP
OP
I know, but it would be nice to give nintendo adventure fans a metroid to play as an alternative
They will say they were just speculating(without ever saying that despite people running with their teases) OR say it was supposed to be there but something changed.
In other words, make up more shit.
Also where was the Aliens Blackout announcement?
I feel like how I felt when I found out Trump won the election.
Oh yeah, Pathless looked amazing.
Yeah, kinda mildly shocked that Sekiro wasn't there, since this was where the original tease happened.
Insiders can't win.
They get attacked when they get it right (the Grinch leak) and they get attacked when they get it wrong.
It's a damn shame honestly. I've been waiting so long for that avengers game and that rocksteady. Every game awards and e3 I'm left disappointed because nothing is ever shown. I just want a good ensemble superhero game with a big budget. At this point I have no idea when they're going to show something. I was expecting allot I guess from these awards. Honestly the spike awards were probably better because we got Arkham city phantom pain and the last of us announcements in consecutive years I believe. Now everything gets leaked before the show and half the stuff is wrong. Yeah mu3 looks rough and I'm kinda irked it's exclusive to the switch because I really liked the first two games. They honestly probably took assets from the marvel heroes f2p that got shit down earlier this year
I have no idea who this Joker is.. So it didn't make it any impact for me. Reggie just went there for that? what a huge let down
Very good show. I feel like I might prefer last year's show a little more but at a certain point, it probably becomes the difference between how happy I was with the game announcements.
Bought into the Nintendo hype and was extremely disappointed to see Reggie's big reveal of a DLC character...... I mean ok? You couldn't even announce persona 5 to go with it?
Yeah I'm tired of so called insiders.
I stick by these people should have their accounts held to account. If you want to be an 'insider' and tease then verify your position/source whatever with an admin. Sometimes plans change but if you're legit and unofficially verified that's fine.
Issue is with randoms just pretending to know stuff to feed the hype machine and there's no recourse for leading people on. If you make an unsubstantiated insider claim and refuse to verify with an admin, and it turns out to be wrong, you should get banned.
It's not even about entitlement, it's just tiresome at this point. I'm not even a switch owner who was hyped and expecting Prime to be there, but I totally understand their sentiment.
it was a good show but in terms of announcements it was really disappointing. maybe i expected to much but a TGA without kojima and a long kojipro trailer doesn't feel right
also where was alien blackout and metroid? what about borderlands 3? i'm not even a fan of that series but wasn't there a lot of teasing about that?

The highlights of the game awards for me were Joker being announced for Smash, Ultimate Alliance for the Switch, and God of War winning game of the year. I'm happy for Cory it's well deserved and a fantastic game.
Oh! And Boy! Read it! Whatever he said. I lost it

That was a really great show this year! The production was smooth, engaging, and it kept moving a long without getting dragged down. I'm really pleased to see what TGA has become, and I can't wait to see what the future looks like for the show!
That show was by far one of the worst i've ever seen, and that's not even because of Metroid missing its chance to shine, but because of overhyping the show to something that it simply wasn't. And that also coming from the person responsible himself.
It felt rushed as hell, big game announcements and shockers were nowhere to be seen. I liked the Joker reveal, but that's literally one character in a game. The rest "big" games were actually pretty small games. Good for them to have a place to shine, but for "big" surprises and "worlds will change" or whatever, it was overhyped.
Edit: Rushed in the sense of content sticked together too tight, some speaking too less, some to long and time fillers waaaaay to long. In a whole, too long show.
I don't even think i felt that bad after a single E3. The awards were more than predictable, with RDR2 and GOW fighting it out. As what i've seen right now, i will never watch that show again. It got hyped up so fucking much, but it is what it is, just giving out some awards with trying to fit in some ads for games.
For big game reveals, i will watch something else. This was literally 3 hours down the pipe for me.
Geoff said he will bring people to tears this time, and i think i'm literally close to cry because i want my precious wasted time back that i could've slept.

Yeah. I didn't understand the length complaints. I thought the length of the show was good and the balance between content (awards, reveals, game music) was surprisingly good too. It's also probably really hard to navigate all the various changes in tone and they did a pretty good job with that too.
It was a good show. The orchestra was reall great and I enjoyed the trailers. Shame with Metroid but there was enough to like besides that.
Im glad a game that controls like shit didnt won Game of the Year, The witcher 3 winning in 2015 was bad enoughSomeone needs to put RDR2 on the troll's head. 🙊
I hate myself for having watched this. I was naive enough to expect some decent announcements or trailers during the show. What a waste of time.
I don't understand how anyone can enjoy this.
Totally agreed! There are definitely things they can improve on (I'd like to see a few more awards get presented, personally) but I imagine it's incredibly difficult to find a perfect balance for something like this.
Some fun announcements too. The biggest disappointments come from rumors that people bought into and that's not the show's fault.
Really good show. The Red Dead performance was my highlight. The Far Cry and Marvel games were my favorite reveals.
Probably bailed after seeing Far Cry and that new Fallout.. game.
Overall, I thought it was one of best Game Awards to date. A bit disappointed that some game announcement rumors weren't true, but hey what can you do. Thanks for the show Geoff! Can't wait for next year!
Overall, it was a pretty solid show with some pretty strong reveals, but I think last year's show was better. No Death Stranding was a surprise...
But man, I won't even lie, this one stings hard. I usually don't go for insiders but it seemed like literally all of them were on the Metroid train so I bought in hard...
I'm so disappointed...I was counting down the hours to finally see my favorite series of all time again. I don't get what happened, it was the perfect audience for it. I doubt we'll see it until E3 now. No way they show first gameplay in a Direct outside of E3.

I don't think insiders or teasers need to be banned or blacklisted (what would blacklisting even mean?).
I do think there needs to be consideration as to why hype and emotion is allowed to endlessly fester in days-long speculation threads, just because of an anonymous 4Chan/Reddit post or somebody's cutesy coy Twitter hints. If there's nothing really backing these rumors up then just lock the thread before things get out of hand.
Somehow we went from SamusThumbsUp.GIF to "OMG Nintendo announcing Metroid Prime 1-3 HD Remaster on Thursday!"

Really great show. Expected it to be cringe, but it was good. The winners and performers were genuine and looked like they had a great time. The orchestra was amazing. Was really happy about obra Dinn, Astro bot, God of War, and sonicfox winning, among others.
I feel like this is what Geoff has been working towards the last years. Sort of like Kojima to finally be able to get all of the people he wanted into his game.
Only a few years ago he stood there in some crappy studio with Joel McHale saying stupid shit. And now he got Hans Fucking Zimmer, Russo Brothers, Jeff Kaplan, the CEOs of the big three, and half of Hollywood in there for.....video games.
Geoff Keighley loves this industry more than most on era do.

Was a good watch from what I could tune into.
I must say though, it's like some of you have never watched an award show. This is how they go. Hell, none of the other ones really even have cool ass reveals or trailers. I don't know what I'm the world you get in your heads that make you think this is going to be some kind of E3 barrage all the time. It is an awards show with added bonus of reveals. Those reveals will vary in quality every year.
Also, getting pissed because there was no Metroid, based off of random rumors you chose to believe, is just hilarious.

I feel this show will be short lived.
Disappointment at some hyped games being missing won't sit well with some fans.
3 and a half hours (including preshow) is far, far too long.
There were some cool moments but I feel 0 desire tuning in ever again.
Last year's show was a good one. This year has me regretting the effort to stay up.

They need to keep it to their selves if they don't have it properly sourced.
And they should have a one strike policy, get de-modded and/or banned for shit like this. People lost sleep over their bullshit.
I really appreciated Geoff's passion for this. You could see him getting emotional when he announced the orchestra performing the gane awards theme. Award shows are a weird format, and there's always awkward moments, but Geoff and his team put on an amazing, classy show that really respected the medium, and we got some cool announcements out of it.
This makes me proud of my favorite hobby.

I'd love the 'insiders' to get called out for their stringing people along bullshit but they'll just brush it off going "Sorry guys my source said plans change you know?" or something like that and we'll go through the whole song and dance again next time there is something to pretend hype for clicks.
I WANTED METROID FFS. :(
Just gimme a Direct with Animal Crossing and Metroid and I'll feel better.
