THE GAME AWARDS ARE TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrazyDiamond]

Did they seriously name this game GTFO

[bork]

I had no idea Player Unknown's Battlegrounds was Korean... that makes it a -touch- more interesting.

HOL' UP, WEEABOO

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a multiplayer online battle royale game developed by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of Korean publisher Bluehole. The game is based on previous mods that were developed by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for other games using the 2000 film Battle Royale for inspiration, and expanded into a standalone game under Greene's creative direction.

Brendan Greene is the main man behind the game.  IRELANDBOOS UNITE?

[Positive Touch]

Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Switch in February


Now I might get rid of my Wii U.

Xenoblade Chronicles X port when?

a port of this and fire emblem means I can write off wii u forever

[Let's Cyber]

Bayo 3, new Death Stranding trailer and Zelda DLC dropping tonight means this was a good show.

I mean, i didn't watch it because fuck that but the news coming out of it has been great.

[CrazyDiamond]

Dudes brought out an entire orchestra to play 30 seconds of music

I had no idea Player Unknown's Battlegrounds was Korean... that makes it a -touch- more interesting.

Bluehole was the team that initially worked on Lineage III for NCSoft. Then they got shitcanned, took their work with them, and released what they could salvage as TERA Online. Got sued by NCSoft, lost I think, but still managed to carry on. Made a lot of money off of TERA, bought a bunch of studios, including Ginno. Ginno had worked on a themepark/ Diablo clone hybrid, Devilian, that was then released under Bluehole Ginno. It's not bad, but kinda generic, and tanked and was shut down shortly after launch in most countries (Trion did the Western release, I think that one's still up). So Bluehole had a pretty large useless studio sitting around all of a sudden. They approached Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, the creator of the Battle Royale genre. Dude wasn't originally a game developer (I think he was a photographer), started modding games after a failed relationship left him stranded in Brasil. He agreed to join Bluehole Ginno, move to Korea, and make a full dedicated game out of his original idea. Bluehole Ginno has since been renamed PUBG Corp and is basically Bluehole's golden goose now. Bluehole proper recently announced A:IR, a pretty typical post-Black Desert Korean MMORPG, published by Kakao Games. That's why some gaming publications called A:IR "the next game by the PUBG team".

Well alright. I was wrong and this is fine

[bork]

Well alright. I was wrong and this is fine

The show was much better than previous ones.  I was serious when I said I was going to watch it to help me get to sleep. 

[tiesto]

Nice to see a lot of Japanese games winning at an American award show. Pretty surprising and I hope this 'trend' continues.

[Bore Expert]

Dude was “jet lagged” 🤔

[Pills Here]

Trash as usual.

Yeah it was alright. Last one I saw was 2015 I think. Since Spike TV dropped it and Geoff started doing it himself it started getting a little better, somehow

[wsippel]

Trash as usual.

Yeah, but they are certainly improving. It's pretty obvious Geoff is listening to what the fans want, and the show gets better every year. The last thing I still can't get over are the phantom awards. You know, where Geoff just announces a couple of winners after a commercial break. If it's not even important enough to get a proper announcement and laudatio, why should I (or anybody else in the audience) care? Fuck, they even hyped the cooperation with Tencent and the realtime translated syndication in China, then announced the winner of Chinese award with no fanfare in the pre-show. And some game I never even heard of won. But we didn't even get a video or anything. That's just stupid.

I WILL COME TO THE POINT SOON

Oh, it was today? What did I miss?

[Bore Expert]

They presented evilore with a lifetime achievement award

[Raist]

Death Stranding trailer what the actual fuck.

[Jansen]

And super weeb Tiesto thought mass effect Andromeda was going to sweep

So much for your evil Western media bias theory

[TVC15]

Death Stranding trailer what the actual fuck.

I turned it off halfway through. Kojima wank has been tiresome to me for the past decade. I’ll pay attention if it has good gameplay with a decent ration of play to cutscene.

[TVC15]

Also, Norman Reedus is a trash-tier celebrity and in the blind items constantly. He’s apparently a messy drunk 24/7.

[paprikastaude]

Not a fan of Geoff, but I gotta say he didn't overhype this for maybe the first time in his life. I was expecting things exactly like the FROM non-announcement to be the best he'd get, then mostly indies. Now I think I'll get Soul Calibur. Witchfire is a rare FPS that looks interesting to me. Switch still looks terrible in the near future, but at least it now has a bunch of things in development that might make it a good purchase when the revision comes. The setting of Death Stranding looks good, apart from the babies weirding me out way too much (and of course 'no gameplay' lol). I'm glad I didn't buy the Zelda season pass though

Ireland's greatest achievement in gaming. Turns out it's our only achievement in gaming.

[paprikastaude]

Well, when I ask myself whether it was worth staying up until 6 AM for this, there's at least one pro argument.

[Corporal]

Death Stranding has the potential to be a monumental disaster.

Well, it IS a Kojima game. :shrug

Can't say I could stomach any of his bullshit after MGS1. Most other gamers could withstand his quirks for longer, at least while he was still somewhat being kept in check at Konami. However, since he is now free of those constraints, he probably won't be able to release anything decent. It's the curse of these creative types, they need a foil. And nothing points to him still having such a limiter.

[Positive Touch]

correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing Kojima has directed outside of metal gear is some very old adventure games. hope his team has some experienced people working on the gameplay.

[paprikastaude]

He's made Zone of the Ender (whose gameplay I hate) and that GBA game that needed sunlight. Either way, there's some interview out there in which Death Stranding sounds like MGS5 (open world action with different options to tackle objectives).

Nope.

Snatcher
Policenauts (which let you fondle each girls boobs) <---Japan only, but got a PSX fan translation
Metal Gear series (minus 2: Snakes Revenge)
Metal Gear Solid series (minus AC!D, Ghost Babble, Portable Ops, which he oversaw all the side-games that aren't Peace Walker)
Zone of the Enders
Zone of the Enders 2
Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand
Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django
Shin Bokura no Taiyō: Gyakushū no Sabata (also known as Boktai 3: Sabata's Counterattack) <---Japan only
Bokura no Taiyō: Django & Sabata, released outside Japan under the title Lunar Knights
Silent Hills

Two of those are Adventure Titles if you count "visual novels" as adventure titles.

btw wtf was with that corny as shit andrew house segment? i would have thought the dude died, not that he was just quitting his job. the whole thing was and his dumb speech made it worse.

[Rich!]

Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Switch in February


Now I might get rid of my Wii U.

Xenoblade Chronicles X port when?

a port of this and fire emblem means I can write off wii u forever

I haven't touched my Wii U for about a year. I have Mario Kart 8 and Zelda on Switch and I fucking hated Xenoblade X (I absolutely love XB1 and 2). Super Mario 3D World and Captain Toad run fine on my PC via CEMU....so selling my Wii U Gamepad and extended battery to go towards a Neo Geo seemed like a good idea




yes it was a fucking good idea

[Brehvolution]

I bet Witcher 3 wins again for the 3rd year in a row..

Geoff Keighley making sure that PR people get the respect they deserve.

And super weeb Tiesto thought mass effect Andromeda was going to sweep

So much for your evil Western media bias theory

Well, I was wrong but pleasantly surprised. You're acting like mediocre games from Bioware haven't ever won awards before... Jade Empire getting 9.9 from IGN, Dragon Age GOTY...

Don't know why you have such a grudge against me, (you're an Xbot right? ) but whatevs.

[Raist]

All of you dissing Death Stranding will feel ashamed of your words & deeds.

[Positive Touch]

zone of the enders and boktai were only produced by Kojima you posers

[etiolate]

Death Stranding is about what Taco Bell does to your insides.

Andromeda got trashed by reviewers, though.

[Human Snorenado]

Videogames are still basically trash

Andromeda got trashed by reviewers, though.

And ridiculed for weeks by the public.

The woman was wearing a dress and the dude had on a suit and ridiculous top hat from what I can remember. I'd honestly have to go look it up to remember beyond that.

Winner of the trending gamer thing DrDisrespect cheated on his wife. Game Awards truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
