It was too long and too boring to watch it from 3 to 6 AM in Europe. Won't do it again next year.
Wow, that's some major growth since the first few years.
I didn't watch it. But, from the comments here, it seems to me like they need to shorten the thing to two hours max. For those of you that watched it, if they kept all of the substantive content, but took out an hour of filler, would that so the trick?
Pretty boring show, ngl. I don't think I'll tune in for the one next year, if this is how it's going to be for TGA.
The awards suck, only good thing from the show was the reveals.
I always found it presumptuous that they even call themselves “THE Game Awards”
Especially when the source is something called “Spike TV” it’s hard to take these as anything more than an advertisement campaign masquerading as an awards show. It’s a farce.
I loved it!! The (PS5) and (XBOX) Series X reveals were stunning!! I am really happy for all the Game Awards Winners!!
Did the PS5 get revealed?
The PS5 was revealed?
I only watched for a super smash bros announcement. Was very disappointed. It wasn't enjoyable to watch. Felt like it dragged on for 3 hours.
