What was your favourite moment of The Game Awards?
- Thread starter Dreamboum
- Start date
There were definitely some hype and unexpected moments that were memorable, but Reggie recognizing the importance of indie gaming and illustrating how Iwata and Miyamoto were both "indies" was the most important moment. Much of the TGA -- though certainly not all of it -- was laced with AAA marketing filler and hollow advertisements that at times made the show feel more like a cash-grab (and maybe it is one) than a celebration of accomplishments in the industry. That kind of promotion of commerce over art is probably necessary in one sense, since a show like this probably isn't cheap to make. But in another sense, it detracts from what could be a warm, genuine love and appreciation for what makes gaming special.
Hearing Reggie emphasize that all developers start off as "indies" mattered a lot in that moment, and it was so good to hear him hold himself out as an "ambassador" for fun and innovation.
(Oh, and the NMH3 trailer was dope.)

Itsuno definitely deserved that win. Here's to him making Dogma 2 or Power Stone 3 one day
Ghost of Tsushima trailer/orchestra, No More Heroes 3 trailer, and the performances by Grimes and Chvrches.
So happy that he can now feel free to work on his next dream project: Dragon's Dogma 2.
NMH 3 easily. I definitely suspected what it was right away. Wish we could have seen some more gameplay, but it's understandable as it hasn't even been in development for a year. They even say "Good luck" when saying it's coming out in 2020, which to me means even they doubt it will make it haha. I'm happy to wait till 2021 though. I'm just thrilled it exists.
Death Stranding:
Steam gave out some prizes to people watching the Game Awards on Steam.
I was one of the 92 people who randomly received a copy of Death Stranding.
You can view the prize list and how many people got each prize here:
Disco Elysium:
Twitter giveaway.
Disco Elysium isn't available anymore, but some of the other games might be.
Neither is available anymore, if that's what you were hoping for, sorry.
Bravely Default 2 was the only thing that made me go "oh shit!", but NMH3 was cool too. Ghost of Tsushima also looks fun.
And yeah, the Muppet part was great. It just makes me happy to see that Muppets are still funny after all these years.

Disco Elysium was from the Twitter giveaway.
I was pretty lucky to see the Twitter giveaway fairly early since the Disco Elysium codes went fast (probably the most popular game out of the 5, which were Disco, Outer Wilds, My Friend Pedro, Slay the Spire, and GRIS), but no, I'm not lucky enough to win two games directly from Steam. Lucky, but not THAT lucky.
Hellblade 2 and the new Xbox easily but I loved Reggie's speech and Ghost of Tsushima. Its also awesome that From and Miyazaki finally got their very deserved Goty.
As always, it's funny to see people getting hyped up by rumours that don't pan out. It shows all that effort and emotional investment was for nought.
Along with Hellblade 2, Weird West, and Control Expeditions.

My favourite part was Disco Elysium picking up lots of awards :) Shame about it not being in the GOTY category but still a nice haul for ZA/UM. Really happy for them. The game is a masterpiece.
The Muppets sketch. And although I did greatly enjoy it, it was my favorite mostly because of a lack of good moments elsewhere.
There were some cool ones like the Xbox reveal, Ori and GoT trailers, DMC5 winning best action game, DS/Kojima winning game direction and ofc Sekiro/Miyazaki receiving the GOTY award.
But I have to say Reggie speech was pretty damn good, so probably that.
