Can't say I didn't foresee most of those.

[TheGameNinja]

I'm fine with the games that won... but this show sucked. They gave out 90% of the awards in a short montage and spent most of the show doing horrible skits with celebrities that clearly didn't know anything about video games. I don't even know who the host was.

No one is watching the Video Game Awards to see chicks picking up cupcakes with their mouths or jumping at velcro walls, they're watching it to see the people that worked on video games get some recognition for it. And that's exactly what didn't happen, aside from Miyamoto accepting for Zelda and, what was it, the two other awards they gave out on stage?

I realize its Spike, but for that 2 hours, it shouldn't have mattered. People that don't care about video games aren't going to be watching the VGAs. You don't need to pander to them. You need to pander to gamers. >_>

Honestly, this entire show was a mess.
The only thing it accomplished was reinforce negative gamer stereotypes.

[jkid101094]

They think all gamers are geeky men that want to see hot chicks because they can't get their own. Or at least that's what I'm assuming from TGN's description. No wonder Miyamoto wasn't the least bit excited.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

how so?

Yes, the Felicia Day-Parts werent required and completely random. But it was only like... less than 10 Minutes in total of the entire show.
Besides, Felicia Day is from Dragon Age 2 or something like that.


But i dont see how the show made gamers look worse?


Besides, they T-Bagged the Infinity Ward CEO. Thats awesome enough. lol

[Tanassy]

This was so obvious it almost seemed like old news

[Hakudamashi]

Damn f*cking straight Mortal Kombat is the best fighting game >=U

And what's with all the celebrities? F*ck them

I was thinking CSII was released last year for some reason, Tekken and DoA weren't the first things on my mind and those other ones aren't big to me. When the fuck did Final Fantasy get a fighting genre game?

About three years ago.

Reminds me of Power Stone...

As long as you don't play it for the story
The story is complete garbage, on par with Sonic Generations...

Arcana Heart 3 [(FUCKING LOVE THAT GAME) waaaay better than Mortal Kombat]

Ok that's ur opinion, I still say Mortal Kombat is best

[jkid101094]

I'm also OK with MK being the best. The game was fun while I had it and I actually had a good time figuring out combos.

[TheGameNinja]

Skullgirls is out already?

[Hakudamashi]

Skullgirls is out already?

No it isn't, I've been following.
