the video game awards MEGATHREAD

[The DooD]

If Black Ops gets GotY I will kill myself.

[editline]11th December 2010[/editline]

Joking, but seriously, I hope it doesn't

[editline]11th December 2010[/editline]

Oh I guess GT5 isn't in Best Racing category because it's PS3 only. It's still a good game, it should be in the PS3 category.

[editline]11th December 2010[/editline]

Wait what why is Modnation there. WHAT

[Random112358]

Hmm, I am wondering if anything about Dr. Horrible 2 will be said. I know it is nothing to do with the VGA's but isn't Neil Patrick Harris presenting it and all 3 of the cast of the original are up for awards.

[Waffen]

[QUOTE=Fofilolipop;26622728]Wait? they chose Modnation racers in front of Gran Turismo 5!?[/QUOTE]

the long list was made before it was released so it doesn't count

[Jaehead]

Black Ops isn't a bad game but it's not GOTY material either

[Waffen]

well they let slip early that mass effect 3 will be there...or at least im sure that is what it is but heres the sauce anyways

Well, countdown is gone, nothings happening.

[BenJammin']

Wait so when is the show on in Mountain time? I'm not at my house so I can't see when it starts. I mean I just want to see Mass Effect 3.

8PM ET it starts officially. I have no idea when we'll get to see all the vids.

[Waffen]

so if we are in the UK its 1 or 2 am tomorrow...

[SupaBastad]

[QUOTE=madnath619;26626377]so if we are in the UK its 1 or 2 am tomorrow...[/QUOTE]

Think so. We can't watch some of the vids on the Spike VGA site though :saddowns:

[DrBones]

Top pick of all categories except GOTY:

Dwarf Fortress

Game Of The Year: Robot Unicorn Attack

[Doomish]

[QUOTE=scotland1;26612045]Also, they motion captured EVERYTHING. It's the most realistic game I've ever played.[/QUOTE]

ethan can't show any emotion other than :geno: if he tries, his facial movements look borderline robotic, which is sort of sad considering he's the main protagonist of the whole game

[DJSergei]

And in the end mass effect 2 wins everything

[Tk1138]

[QUOTE=Randdalf;26622100]How the actual fuck is Super Mario Galaxy 2 not nominated for game of the year, and why the actual fuck is Call of Duty: Black Ops.[/QUOTE]

People like big explosions and guns more over Italian plumbers and cute green dinosaurs. Its a sad fact of life :(

[Zuimzado]

Good god Oldman deserves it.

I mean, I was saying his lines weeks after I finished the game.

[editline]11th December 2010[/editline]

Also, why isn't Epic Mickey for Best Original Score? I mean, it's fucking awesome. Sure, the game wasn't THAT good, but the soundtrack deserves all attention it can get.

[OutOfExile2]

It's not even funny how much they circlejerk over games like CoD at these awards.

[Tk1138]

Sadly, this.

[Scot]

It's because they know 80% of the viewers do too.

[Mandrith]

What the fuck? Why is Minecraft not on this?

[kevlar jens]

Any way to watch this live on the interwebs for a humble Norwegian as myself?

[editline]12th December 2010[/editline]

[QUOTE=Mandrith;26632736]What the fuck? Why is Minecraft not on this?[/QUOTE]

not released yet

[QUOTE=scotland1;26632412][url=http://www.boxlive.tv/channels/spiketv]Stream[/url].[/QUOTE]

cool, thanks

[Atokniro]

IMHO, all of the games in the GOTY section, while good, aren't GOTY material. Especially BO, but it will win because it's a popularity contest, not which game is better contest.

[Wafflemonstr]

[QUOTE=Random112358;26609219]My predictions, not my personal choices though.[/QUOTE]

Every single one of your predictions are what I chose as predictions except for most anticipated but that's because I am anticipating Batman: Arkham City but if I were to look at that category on a non personal level Portal 2 would be my choice...

[Tk1138]

portal 2 was mentioned in the title sequence... something new to be revealed?

[Random112358]

[QUOTE=Wafflemonstr;26632957]Every single one of your predictions are what I chose as predictions except for most anticipated but that's because I am anticipating Batman: Arkham City but if I were to look at that category on a non personal level Portal 2 would be my choice...[/QUOTE]

That was my view, I really cannot wait for the new Batman but at the same time Portal 2 is a very unique sort of anticipation since the first was a bit of a one off. Not an obvious game to have a sequel that is any good but at the same time from what I have seen it should be good.

[Tk1138]

Jack Blacks thing last year was better then this.

[BenJammin']

The virtual reality thing is really fucking cool, and neil is badass. But umm so far, they are playing a black ops trailer....And..yeah.
