As someone who has never played Turok before I'm proud I guessed it from that first shot

[Julius]

Geoff siding with PocketPair and making an enemy out of Game Freak and Nintendo was not on my radar for the night

Going to be even more of a surprise now when they announced the DK64 Remake, right @killthenet? 

[Julius]

Balatro surely has to win Best Debut Indie with it being a GOTY nominee

EDIT: shocker

Dude, Localthunk wins Best Debut Indie, doesn't turn up, and pushes for people to check out more indie games

What a guy

[Julius]

Onimusha?! Surely?! 

WHAAAAAAT

[killthenet]

Astro is gonna sweep everything 

Onimusha returns

Bowser pulled the announcement at the last minute out of spite

Man, had the chance to play the closed beta for Khazan back in October but wasn't very well – March 27th isn't too far away so I won't feel too bad, though!

Astro Bot is Action/Adventure? Um. What. And don't think I didn't see Outlaws was nominated for that award! The gaming journalism industry is full of frauds. 

Remember, before last year with BG3, Action/Adventure winner was typically the GOTY winner. So maybe that's something. 

Then again, Metaphor just won best RPG. Maybe that's in the more running more than I expected...

Hahahahahahahaha 

 

The Muppets poking fun at Kojima and Keighley is hilarious 

[Julius]

Definitely slowed down with the big hitters for a little bit, but they seem spread out after that explosive start to the main show

Much, much better pacing for the TGAs than we've seen in previous years

 

Unrelated but Kyle Bosman being in a Squid Game bit has caught me off guard 

Edited December 13, 2024 by Julius

[killthenet]

I think Kyle just got murdered

[Julius]

Was so focused about the Part II ad for a sec there lol

Does this mean no ND announcement?

A Final Fantasy VII Rebirth win, and for its music; rightly so! 

Them going up makes me think GOTY is beyond them, mind you...

[Julius]

NO LAURA DON'T COME HERE FOR SOME WEIRD GAME AND NOT A NAUGHTY DOG THING 

NOOOOOOOOO

[Julius]

Lmao that Sam Lake bit was great 

[Julius]

Okay, good

Rebirth was excellent but its narrative was very messy. Glad to hear Metaphor seemed to stick the landing if this Best Narrative award was anything to go by! 

Warming up for a Persona 6 win in a few years I guess 

[killthenet]

Kamiya is back with Capcom to do Okami - crazy

[Julius]

One more thing! 

Naughty Dog time..? 

[Julius]

Geoff you bastard

[Julius]

Sci-fi...Santa Monica? 

Mass Effect? 

Idek! 

[Julius]

From that face I'm saying this is Naughty Dog...

[Julius]

What's throwing is me is Porsche and the anime

Hmmmmm

Definite Cowboy Bebop vibes...

I fucking knew it!

IT'S FREAKING ASTRO BOT FOR GOTY LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

The volume of that applause was insane. Well done to Asobi and Doucet, phenomenal stuff in a phenomenal year for games!
