@flstyle: My god, the live chat on the YouTube feed is a horrible mess of meaningless drivel, its the scum of the earth. Although I did see one "Vote for Jeff" go on by so at least someone civil is within the fray.
Anyways, its about to start everybody, just a few more minutes.
So far, for better or worse, this has been a pretty accurate representation of the industry and its audience. Both in attitude and presentation. I'm liking it.
yeah, the people presenting the trending gamer kinda threw me off, but otherwise this has been pretty alright. That rendition of the chemical plant zone music was great
Holy crap, this may be worse than the Spike TV VGAs. I have not seen this many big names come together in a train wreck production since Expendabales.
Oh look, someone being hyperbolic on the internet. Do you even remember the VGAs? A bunch of C list celebreties, not giving a fuck. At least more people seem to care tonight.
There's been sound problems and some messy camera angles, but in terms of substance and entertainment this is a totally competent awards show. Unlike previous incarnations, it seems to have been made for actual humans to enjoy. Cringe-factor is only a fraction of what it was last year!
It's really weird that for some awards, it's just Geoff tossing the awards at them on his weird ministage. Other than that, and the audio team where presumably everything is on fire all the time, this show has been pretty good so far.
Watching the show I've come to the realization that we just don't need this. Sure, the show has plenty of things that could be better etc, but even if they were good the concept just isn't that great. People watch the show for different reasons (although I would guess mostly for the new trailers) and as proven over the rest of the year it's better served seperately than in this combined package.
If someone wants to make an actual good awards show they need to focus on doing one thing, and then do it at least as well (and hopefully better) than what the games press/other events is already doing. This mish-mash of trying to be E3, a platform for developers and an entertainment show all in one hasn't been working out, and I don't think it ever will.
Are you talking this one or previous ones? People seem to be taking this one well, previous ones you could fill a book about how shit they were, but now that Spike has cut loose, or Geoff has cut loose its going pretty nice, I dig all the live performances and that actual game devs are on stage at a percentage higher then all of the other VGAs combined.
Music and visuals in No Man's Sky seem top notch. Still not clear if it's going to actually be fun to play for any amount of time. I respect their decision to keep the basic systems and gameplay a mystery but I can't know if it's going to have the appeal of Minecraft (limitless) or Starbound (boiler plate and boring).

GB chat. Seems every segment has a dozen+ people complaining.
@csl316: Ah okay, I haven't been paying attention to any of the chats due to, well, as you said.. chats. There has been an awkward moment here or there sure but if people really think this is bad... well, let 'em, but their loss, the Sierra bit just now was super cool and would never have had happened before.
