lol @ whoever was streaming it on livestream and came up with this after U2 won

:lol

 

[Rustymonke]

What a HUGE waste of a night.

Thanks GAF for making it semi-enjoyable, goodnight all. :lol

 

[Togeo]

Somebody please make a gif of Megan Fox winning the best female performance award. That has to be documented. :lol

 

[criesofthepast]

Horrible show. Other than Batman it was a complete waste of time. Not as good as last year. Was expecting more lulz.

 

[charsace]

Of course, check a few pages back, they are all saying these awards dont mean shit, and that they are rigged etc....


:lol :lol

I was following this thread the whole time. I find it funny how all the, "people buy these awards," and "this show doesn't matter," disappeared or are happy that UC2 won.

 

[gibration]

U2=GOTF

 

[BakedPigeon]

I knew the halo announcement trailer could no way in hell live up to the small hype aruond it but fuck that was severely disappointing. What a fucking joke.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Not Masterchief.

Yeah. Thus, I said "I think". No face was shown or no major voice-acting by him.

A right is still a right even after many wrongs.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Split/Second, Spec Ops and MoH were the highlights of the show.

 

[-PXG-]

This was worse than last year's debocal. How is that possible? HOOOOOOOOW?!?!?!

 

[IronFistedChampion]

Finally, now I can go back to playing Assassins Creed 2.

 

[Y2Kev]

You're such a pathetic xbot that I feel sad for you. Go back and defend paying $50 for Gold while you're at it.

loser.

:lol

 

[Grecco]

One of the worst VGAs in their short history.

 

[AshMcCool]

Star Wars Game? Did they announced that?

 

[SteveO409]

I thought that African American from Blue Mountain state commercial got busted for dealing drugs lol. I dont think he'll make season 2

 

[paperheart]

Boring show, but so glad Uncharted 2 won Game of the Year. Congrats Naughty Dog!

 

[Ardorx]

The VGAs sum up the industry quite nicely.

 

[Zombie James]

I tuned in for Halo Reach, I stayed for Uncharted. That's all I really wanted to see.

 

[NeoUltima]

I knew the halo announcement trailer could no way in hell live up to the small hype aruond it but fuck that was severely disappointing. What a fucking joke.

I actually thought it looked pretty good...what I saw before the stream died anyway.

 

[vodka-bull]

Couldn't play Uncharted 2 yet but Naughty Dog deserved it more than Infinity Ward. Good job.

After all it was a great show. True Crime, Force Unleashed 2 and Green Day Rockband were a good surprise. Not as much as a surprise as Golden Sun 3 was but hey, that's not E3 and it's quite good that they grew up from a little Awardshow to a really entertaining and important show in the business.

At least I know that I have to catch up Star Wars Force Unleashed, Left 4 Dead 2 and Batman Arkham Asylum.

 

[jamaniek]

Yeah. Thus, I said "I think". No face was shown or no major voice-acting by him.

He means: Not Masterchief but number 117. In best case John.

This show still doesn't matter, the question was how an undisputed GOTY could lose the action/adventure genre to AC2.

What's the logic behind winning GOTY and yet not winning the genre that the GOTY encompasses?

 

[charsace]

A right is still a right even after many wrongs.

So its okay to shit on the other devs that won, but celebrate naughty dog's win?

 

[four-two]

HALO: REACH -

Masterchief (I think) shown removing the helmet. Wears it back. Face not shown. Driving in a wasteland with 2 V-TOL flying over. Vehicle stops and masterchief gets off. He enters a tent where you see more Spartans including a general/leader. One Spartan's helmet has a skull face on it (similar to that of MW2). Then they talk about how "Spartans don't die. They are just M.I.A.", then they fly away in V-TOL and you sky the sky somewhat ripping apart. Awesome cloud physics

Is not Master "John" Chief.

 

[Rustymonke]

The VGAs sum up the industry quite nicely.

Dear god, thankfully not.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

So is Spec Ops the game that Ken Levine's been secretly working on?

 

[Firestorm]

As much as UC2 deserves it, I really question the results. Definitely not user voted even though they say it is.

Also lol:

Uncharted 2 is GOTY, but Assassin's Creed 2 beats it for Best Action Game
Left 4 Dead 2 is 360 GOTY, but Modern Snorefare 2 beats it for both Best Shooter and Best Multiplayer Game
Beatles Rock Band is best Music Game, but DJ Hero beats it for Best Soundtrack

 

[ChoklitReign]

Glad you guys saved for only one 500 error tonight.

 

[Calcaneus]

Lets focus on the Geoff Keighley hype machine for a second, what were the new announcements from this show? Arkham Asylum 2, True Crime, and Force Unleashed 2? Great.

 

[Tunin]

Resume of the Night:
- Spent countless refresh attempts to watch the live streaming
- Missed the entire Halo Reach trailer
- Was surprised to see Sony winning some awards tonight

GAF, next time remind me to never watch it again.

 

[Totobeni]

I think Amy was sad because Nolan didn't win


@Reach , well that amazing leap from H3 and ODST graphics ( since that all real time according to Geoff )


SpecOps: The Line was the biggest thing in the show imo

 

[graywolf323]

wow surprised that Uncharted 2 won

it definitely deserves it but after some of the previous categories didn't think common sense was involved in the voting at all :lol

 

[GeoramA]

So glad for Naughty Dog, they looked really thrilled.

 

[Grecco]

This was worse than last year's debocal. How is that possible? HOOOOOOOOW?!?!?!

Spike spending less $$

 

[Corto]

Nice to see Uncharted 2 getting GOTY totally deserved... The awards seemed oddly spread though.

 

[Averon]

This show was worthless. Bunch of CG trailers and predictable award wins.

 

[CrushDance]

I was following this thread the whole time. I find it funny how all the, "people buy these awards," and "this show doesn't matter," disappeared or are happy that UC2 won.

Right. Only the Uncharted fanbooyz were saying that. People weren't happy that Batman won either.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

You'd hope this would be good marketing for UC2 but the frat boys are probably cutting themselves instead of thinking "hey maybe it is a good game"

 

[MidnightScott]

I just love how Nintendo gets shafted. Though I was surprised to see Mario & Luigi 3 and Wii Sports Resort nominated at all.

Uncharted 2, I bought it at launch at Toys R Us during the sale but I have yet to play it. Maybe next year Nintendo will win an award for Metroid Other M (if it gets released in time)

 

[Metalmurphy]

So its okay to shit on the other devs that won, but celebrate naughty dog's win?

Didn't see anyone shit on other devs?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Wait. Ken Levine is working on Spec Ops?

 

[Danthrax]

Does anyone know where this awards show took place?

 

[watership]

You're such a pathetic xbot that I feel sad for you. Go back and defend paying $50 for Gold while you're at it.

loser.

You take these console wars pretty darn serious, don'tcha?

 

[Kandrick]

Didn't see anyone shit on other devs?

Uh ? Rocksteady ? People said it was shit etc because ND didnt win. In the end, the vga awards are a joke, just like all the awards/goty/top lists/best games etc...

 

[four-two]

Well, the show was not bad, quite by the way, still to short, not enough space to game and of course TO MUCH COMMERCIAL but nice show.

Kudos to Spike staff.

 

[Grecco]

Wait. Ken Levine is working on Spec Ops?

No

 

[jett]

These awards made little sense. AC2 wins action goty over UC2 but UC2 wins GOTY? Deserving anyway, despite this show being crap.
