McHale tried his best to make that show as less shitty as possible. I still don't understand the people saying he was the reason the show was bad. He was not. The show was bad before if shit production and shit guests.

I would buy this if the show wasn't hyped up around how many WORLD EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS @ #GAMEAWARDS it's gonna have. It comes across as an ad reel punctuated by awards.
I really disliked him at the show 5 years ago and I am disappointed to see him again.
Maybe I'm the odd one out but I really don't find him funny and his crass jerk comedy routine doesn't work for me.

Exactly. If you're taking the Game Awards seriously in any regard, you're doing it wrong. Embrace the cheese, cringeyness, bad jokes, and just enjoy it!
Yeah. Lmao, it was so embarassing. I remember waiting like 15 minutes for some live performance while some dudes were trying to buy time for it.... and.... good lord:
(5:04 if time stamp doesn't work)
Not to mention the Cranky Kong announcement. If it wasn't for Joel, it'd have been a complete and utter trainwreck.
That was one of my thoughts... I think that would just be more embarrassing though.
And McHale will probably come up with a retort on the spot that will haunt him for many more years.
And those guys at Street trying to be funny, man, that was really bad, if I recall correctly Mchale made a joke about that
What word is "sh&#^t" supposed to be? Context clues would make it "shit" but it has too many characters.
tbf Joel gave the VGX all the respect it deserved, which was none. He was the highlight of the show, and his refusal to lap up marketing and PR statements was refreshing.
Having said that, the show has come a long way since then afaik so I'm not expecting the same amount savagery

The sooner gamers accept that this is more the MTV Movie Awards, and less the Oscars, the better for all involved.
I guess it's just me but it looks like some here on Era are taking this thing seriously. I can only imagine the meltdown that's gonna happen here when/if Ninja ends up winning that "trending gamer" award or whatever it is. Even funnier some who keep wanting them to ditch it when it gets views for/from the nominated streamer's fans.
Hahaaha oh my goodness, this show was unbelievable to watch. Maybe my favorite awards show ever.
Joel's performance as host was almost like live art.
This is ResetEra. If there's something you don't see how people can take seriously, there is no doubt someone here who very much does.
Damn time flies. He was horrible last time. hope he is better
Hope this year is better than last year
Hope this year is better than last year
Yeah. Definitely skipping this crap. Will check later to see what was announced
wow, he was such an awful hosts
Oh well not like I watch these things live, I'll just watcch a cringey recap on youtube

Keep your expectations low bud. This is a giant ad space for products and upcoming games and pretending to care about the games thay cane out this year that will end up being forgotten for the next sequel in a year like Battlefield 20 and COD 45.
People genuinely skipping the show because of this? The fuck outta here, you never were going to watch anyway.
The guy was hilarious and rightly called Geoff out on all his shit last time around. Completely disrespected the buttkissing, marketing and championing of advertisements.
You guys should be thanking this guy for paving a way for a new and better format.

yeah i know but last year devs got the spot light and it was really cool. hope to see that again.
I don't understand why some people are worried about this. The awards are still for the devs. The devs are still accepting them and giving speeches.
The only difference is more outside presenters replacing Geoff announcing every single award, as he did last year.
As long as it fits in between Shick Man and Mountain Dew they'll let a developer say thanks and wall off stage as quickly as they came up. 😆
oh yes that huge marketing push that river raid needs
Celebrating people on the industry is not a bad thing. Seeing Mick Gordon perform live was a joy. Yeah, the awards are whatever, but so is your cynic attitude.
I feel the difference between those that want Joel and not on the show is like those that want to see a dance show to see a great performance. And those that watch it to see the main dancer trip, fall, break his neck, and die while chocking on his own blood.
I guess people find amusement on the oddest things.

I get you but this show already has so much world premiers and footage. The invited guest better take less time men
YES, glad he'll be there. Some of the posts here smdh, taking ourselves too seriously are we now. Also how can some of you not look through the veneer of the show and see that it's a massive marketing hype machine? It's not even trying to be subtle ffs.
I'd be genuinely curious to see how Joel handles it this time. I'm sure he's aware about the public perception of the last time he had a run on this.
I guess my curiosity stems from the fact that Joel seemed very much upset or against the fact that the awards were very much an advertisement platform as opposed to an award show that celebrates the year in games. I think some would argue that this hasn't changed substantially much with the current game awards, but I do applaud Geoff because I strongly feel that he's done much to try to make each year better.

Googling for Geoff's height gave me this result:
"Height, 6'9" (4'3" without the hat)."
What? lol
