I’m not really excited about anything because I don’t care much for AAA but it‘s funny to me that a show like the Game Awards was never about the awards but just an excuse to show some world premier trailers.
They keep telling us how this is a celebration of this year while trailers for games in the coming years take center stage. It feels more like the most cynical funeral of old games while the new ones get coronated with their announcements.
And I know this is comment isn‘t deep or profound to anybody who ever watched the Game Awards but I just find it comical every year.
On the other hand, winning an award from this show has a tangible effect on game sales, so it's nice when a game like Baldur's Gate 3 can beat the mainstays like The Legend of Zelda and earn that bump for themselves.
It‘s definitely clever to wrap the Award show into a Superbowl type of event for the gaming industry. It ensures there will be a lot of eyes on award winners. But they still have to share the attention with the new shiny things that are being advertised so it‘s always a little awkward. It‘s bizarre but part of the experience and let‘s be honest, most of don‘t care about popularity contests. We tune in for the trailers.

It's just a big advertising show yeah. Like E3 but with all the soul and community sucked out of it. I dont know why anyone cares.
I just want to see some more exceptionalism from Flute Guy.
The real reason to watch
My wife and I was laughing at that a while back. He's great.
Oh hell yeah, we get to see him go ham on some Clair Obscur music.
Always a highlight of the show. I hope he never cuts his hair.
The disappointment in my brother's eyes when Half Life 3 isn't announced...
... and mine too :(
Fucking REAL.
Like every other year until it or the next thing

Truly, lol. He was disappointed because he thought the MegaMan reveal was talking about Gordon Freeman.

Personally I'm hoping for
- Larian's next game announcement
- info on Light no Fire
- anything by fromsoftware
- a new final fantasy game that isn't based on ff7
- the new bioshock game that was rumored for years now

I'm looking forward to the podcasts that'll make fun of it.
Absolutely nothing.
~~Silksong~~ Nothing, life is meaningless
now you can wait for the silksong dlc though
Yep, 6-8 years to go!
Todd Howard flayed alive on live televison.
I've never cared for it - the entire show's awards and announcements could be YouTube Shorts that I can pick and choose to watch, and I'd get exactly the same thing out of it.
I wait a day and then check for a megathread with bullet points, then see if there is anything of interest to me.
Half Life 3 it's gonna be there I can feel it in my bones I'm not crazy
it's coming any day now...
Looking for to be sleeping, I really don't give a shit about that.
Starseeker, light no fire, the host being gored by a bull
Half life 3
I wanna see what a $1m 3 minute trailer looks like!
E33 should fuck
Steam box price and release date, more Slay the Spire 2 info, next Zelda teaser. All very unlikely.
The coronation of Expedition 33 mostly!
I heard it's likely we're gonna see some KOTOR on there.
Close enough
Larian
Fromsoft
Nintendo
Those are probably the only developers in the AAA world that are not selling money printing skinner boxes but the games are still fun.
Indie devs don’t have money to advertise on that shitty show.

Crowbcat compilation. Tbh I didn't know they were still doing that Game Awards
I think award shows are head-ass narcissist nonsense.
So, none of it.
Whether they allow the warframe community to make a mockery of the concept of chat again.
