kraenk12 Agree 100%! And while I do also absolutely LOVE online multiplayer games, I consider a multiplayer game without some sort of campaign to be unfinished, or at least a gyp. Every game should have a story mode. Except like Tetris or Rocket League... stuff like that, obviously! :P
I'm really disappointed that the whole category was just mentioned off hand and not given proper recognition. we didn't even get to see atlus receive the award.
They should have just extended the whole thing and cover them all properly. It's kinda ridiculous when you want your show to be taken seriously and then you blurt out winners left and right like that to save time for commercials.
This guy was the highlight of the whole show...or industry! And it was really fun to see Geoff get uncomfortable...just like when Conan O'Brian made fun of the whole industry and Keighley almost broke together.
HDaviator yes, she did. But that's why it's positive feminism. Because it wasn't politically motivated, it was because she deserved it, she didn't get special treatment.
You can bet your ass she wouldnt have gotten it if she was a man. It was cringy how they kept mentioning that she was a woman in the industry. "See, woman can program too!"
Emily Richards of the two feminist moments in this show, even though I think this one wasn't done perfectly, it was overall positive and had good spirit
Exactly. They've given the stage to _"Debut Indie Game," "Student Game," Best E-Sports Player," "Games for Impact,"_ and a lot of redundant ones. But they skipped: *Best RPG, Best Action-Adventure, Best Fighting, Best Strategy, Best Sports/Racing, and Handheld Game altogether.* This year's TGA was superb on announcements, *mediocre* on execution and structure.
James Brincefiel All that salt....I understand the pain of XBots these days. Not even winning NPD at X1X release month must be a tough pill to swallow.
He already said he wanted to do a small indie style game but that everyone expects him to do a big action stealth game and that that's what Death Stranding would be. So expect Phantom Pain style gameplay.
THE TWO-TIME!!!!! BACK TO BACK, 1992-1993 BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO GAME CHAMPION OF THE ONLINE GAMING COMMUNITY!! I love the Doc and what he brings to the Twitch platform. Believe it or not, he's a positive force in the scene and I cannot wait to see what 2018 brings.
...and Death Stranding will change the world when it comes out...i can't get over how amazing the story and scope of this game are. Hideo Kojima is a genius...up there with Stanley Kubrick and John Carpenter! And he makes games...we're so lucky,,,hope he moves onto movies later on in life!!
EZA conference reactions are the best reactions. Just quietly though, I wish you called these "commentaries", rather than reactions - it speaks more to the fact that you guys are offering insight into events like these as journalists. But, I realise that "reactions" has better search engine optimisation...
SPOILER: I had a feeling Zelda would win Game of the Year and Game design (deserved), but I feel like they could've at least given Horizon the Action/Adventure award. But then again, that would mean that it is a better Action Adventure than Zelda.. Which isn't really true if you include Zelda's puzzle element. Man, awards shows are hard :b
If this were literally any other year in the past decade Horizon would have walked away with numerous rewards. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for us they released their game the same year as many other incredible games. Im still a little gutted that they didnt win though since I finished the game yesterday and its all thats on my mind atm.
Splitting awards like that is a not how a selection process should work. "X won't win this award, so we'll give it that award." that always raises questions.
The Champions ballad shadow drop was the clear highlight for me!! I've just been tossing around 'shadow drop' as some kind of depressing EZA meme and then it happens in one of the best games ever. BLISS!
What's really upsetting about the Death Stranding trailer, is how complex and full of symbolism it is... The kind of stuff that would have been PERFECT in a Silent Hill game...
Man, well deserved winners, but it's kind of a shame that the year was so filled with great games that some incredible games ended up not getting enough recognition, where they would've probably cleaned house in a different year.
How'd you come to that conclusion? Just looking at Sony's projects for 2018, off the top of my head we have God of War and The Last of Us 2. I doubt Horizon would sweep anything.
DAMIANI (or Blood, I know you read these) Did you know that you can use the youtube shortcuts for the , and . keys (the ones next to the M key) to move forward or backward one frame? It would help a bunch for navigating in the future :D
The mistake Sony made was releasing HZD the same time as Zelda. It just got swallowed. Its almost like an SUV merging into single lane highway when a speeding Mack truck is charging along that same highway. In a year without Zelda or Mario, HZD might have won.
It hardly got swallowed concerning sales. It will surely win more awards elsewhere. It's just sad and not understandable why there was no outstanding graphics award.
Nah. Horizon Zero Dawn just isn’t that big a deal of a game. I get that it sold well, but it’s not disruptive in the slightest. The other games that got recognition were. I imagine that in 15 years, Horizon will own a space in the gaming landscape similar to a Mark Of Kri. “Hey remember that Sony game that was good and got really good reviews but that nobody talks about anymore and most people don’t know exists?”
Sword Wills I think Bloodborne 2 will happen down the line anyway. Tenchu is a surprise though and it's a great time to bring it back and give it another chance. So I hope it really is Tenchu. Remember it will still be a From/Miyazaki game and I expect great things!
This game awards was incredible ! loved the EZA reactions Death stranding trailer was interesting but it was the least interesting of the 3 by far to me
I'm glad this show went as well as it did. Geoff has had a bit of a rough run with the game awards over the past few years and this show was outstanding for the most part. No Joel Mchale to bring everyone's spirits down.
In that From Soft thing, that looks like Japanese, but just ancient classical style Japanese script used for poetry and stuff, like artistic calligraphic English.
Wait, Huber, you haven't played warframe? It definitely doesn't have the best tutorial (having chat or a wiki up helps), but it just is generally fun to play. Also lots of fun if you like customization, fashionframe is no joke.
“Microtransactions are stupid” - 51:08
“Fuck the Oscars” - 2:18:12
Single Player games rule!!
Thank you sir. Was looking for this.
Prolone Right. I didn’t really care for Conan’s bit. But feel free to add it yourself lol
kraenk12 Agree 100%! And while I do also absolutely LOVE online multiplayer games, I consider a multiplayer game without some sort of campaign to be unfinished, or at least a gyp. Every game should have a story mode. Except like Tetris or Rocket League... stuff like that, obviously! :P
They only info I could get from the Death Stranding trailer was:
1) it's a stealth game
2) it's bonkers
3) once there was an explosion
I didn't hear you, once there was a what?
Lmao it's not a stealth game
isnt the explosion that gave rise to all life just the big bang? im more interested in the second explosion that probably made that crater
And then another explosion
@Happines With less S agreed
Highlights:
1:22:30 Soul Caliber VI
1:39:30 Conan
1:51:00 Bayonetta 3
1:55:00 Death Stranding
2:17:00 Witchfire
2:18:00 Josef Fares (FuckTheOscars)
2:38:10 PUBG Desert Map
2:48:20 GTFO
2:59:35 Metro Exodus
2:18:31, the best moment in the show.
Persona 5 winning best RPG makes me so happy. I'm so glad JRPGs are still going strong.
Divinity 2 would have deserved it as well.
Xenoblade for 2018!
I'm really disappointed that the whole category was just mentioned off hand and not given proper recognition. we didn't even get to see atlus receive the award.
It didn't really have much competition in that category imo
@@Ben-do1bf lets hope 3 gets nominated for 2022 :)
Persona 5 best rpg only getting a quick mention was lame
The fact they put more time into "Best Student Game" is ridiculous to me.
Dude injustice 2 winning best fighting game didnt even get mentioned ;-;
I think that happened because nobody there to get the trophy.
They should have just extended the whole thing and cover them all properly. It's kinda ridiculous when you want your show to be taken seriously and then you blurt out winners left and right like that to save time for commercials.
Rafael Economides I felt this was really really long
Geoff is really doing a good job creating this and then significantly improving it every year.
Geoff Keighley looking for a way out of this interview. xD 2:18:54
This guy was the highlight of the whole show...or industry! And it was really fun to see Geoff get uncomfortable...just like when Conan O'Brian made fun of the whole industry and Keighley almost broke together.
I am sooo glad Nier Automata won best score! Cuphead and Hellblade were also great to get some awards
In the words of Michael Huber, Death Stranding is a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE
I am not hyped at all.
PRAISE KOJIMA
Maybe it is because Kojiima is obsessed with Judeo-Christianity themes and concepts.
His laugh at a baby in Norman's throat is his real reaction.
will it be the neon genesis evangelion of games?
Josef Fares..... What a guy!
Good coke lol
Ten bucks says about half the people in the building had their switches and they were on the buildings WiFi just to download the Champions Ballad.
Jason9811 it didn’t come out until midnight anyway so it didn’t matter lol
Urban legends
2:21:42 "That guy is not coming back" to Josef Fares.
Oh he is coming back in 2021
Witchfire trailer was very clever, loved that
You guys are my favorite reactions, perfect balance between respectful silence while watching trailers and overjoyed cheers when stuff is revealed!
"Industry Icon Award - Carol Shaw" segment is example of positive feminism. River Raid was one of my fav games on Atari.
positive feminism is so rare (imo)... some tears got me on that part :´)
People who hate the word FEMINISM are coming for you.. be strong :D
Positive feminism is an oxymoron. This was an award given to a person that deserved it for their accomplishments.
HDaviator yes, she did. But that's why it's positive feminism. Because it wasn't politically motivated, it was because she deserved it, she didn't get special treatment.
You can bet your ass she wouldnt have gotten it if she was a man. It was cringy how they kept mentioning that she was a woman in the industry. "See, woman can program too!"
Emily Richards of the two feminist moments in this show, even though I think this one wasn't done perfectly, it was overall positive and had good spirit
The awards this year was better and I am pretty happy with the picks. However, skipping over best RPG and Adventure game is awful.
AND Mario winning best family game! WTF!
Exactly. They've given the stage to _"Debut Indie Game," "Student Game," Best E-Sports Player," "Games for Impact,"_ and a lot of redundant ones.
But they skipped:
*Best RPG, Best Action-Adventure, Best Fighting, Best Strategy, Best Sports/Racing, and Handheld Game altogether.*
This year's TGA was superb on announcements, *mediocre* on execution and structure.
@@kraenk12 ?
That was *really* the best Game Awards ever. Keighley has outdone himself this time.
35:50 the reaction you all want 😂
v
I can see huber slowly die inside everytime Persona 5 didnt win but
Persona 5 best rpg of the year hell yeah!!!
My heart skipped a beat when the Monkey Island theme played @38:40
"FUCK THE OSCARS" - phrase of the year 2017
You guys rock Easy Allies.
I wish Reggie did Professional Wrestling.
Two words: From Software.
Some kinda... bone blood floss?
Did you guys know that Microsoft CENSORED that trailer out at their Mixer stream?! How pathetic!
Woah! That's a bummer. Sucks to be anyone who was watching on mixer
James Brincefiel All that salt....I understand the pain of XBots these days. Not even winning NPD at X1X release month must be a tough pill to swallow.
Game of the Year:
3:13:14
1:25:40 "Oh hey- it's Elyse!"
We need more people like Josef Fares I was laughing my ass off at this the first time I saw this.
Josef Fares is a legend!!! I hope his game is a grand success
years later, here we are GOTY.
If Jones and Blood are "mom & dad", then Damiani is the oldest sibling but he's just as much of a trouble-maker as the youngest :-)
Josef Fares is a fucking God
Death Stranding... we still have no idea what gameplay looks like...
be silent star wars fan! don't jinx it!
Looks like a great movie though!
I prefer not knowing until it's near release.
まだ開発開始から2年も経ってないのにそれないいだろう…
He already said he wanted to do a small indie style game but that everyone expects him to do a big action stealth game and that that's what Death Stranding would be. So expect Phantom Pain style gameplay.
Witchfire stole the show as far as I'm concerned. Also nice to see that Dreams is coming along.
Thanks blood
THE TWO-TIME!!!!! BACK TO BACK, 1992-1993 BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO GAME CHAMPION OF THE ONLINE GAMING COMMUNITY!!
I love the Doc and what he brings to the Twitch platform. Believe it or not, he's a positive force in the scene and I cannot wait to see what 2018 brings.
So how's Doc these days?
"So it's safe to say the show will end on Death Stranding"
"Yeah"
*a few minutes later Death Stranding trailer is revealed*
...and Death Stranding will change the world when it comes out...i can't get over how amazing the story and scope of this game are. Hideo Kojima is a genius...up there with Stanley Kubrick and John Carpenter! And he makes games...we're so lucky,,,hope he moves onto movies later on in life!!
seeing Bossman in the opening was amazing love you guys
That advisory warning was well used this show.
2:21:45 that guy came back to get a fucking goty
>that guy will not come back
Worst prediction ever
The industry icon section is always the best part of the show
EZA conference reactions are the best reactions. Just quietly though, I wish you called these "commentaries", rather than reactions - it speaks more to the fact that you guys are offering insight into events like these as journalists. But, I realise that "reactions" has better search engine optimisation...
I legit thought Andrew House was going to announce PlayStation 5 with that speech
I was thinking the very same thing.
:(
SPOILER:
I had a feeling Zelda would win Game of the Year and Game design (deserved), but I feel like they could've at least given Horizon the Action/Adventure award.
But then again, that would mean that it is a better Action Adventure than Zelda.. Which isn't really true if you include Zelda's puzzle element.
Man, awards shows are hard :b
Remember, it's an honor just to be nominated. You have to have done something special to even make it there.
GroundPoundable
You are right.
I guess I am just thinking about the backlash of salty fans.
I think they should have won the best directive.
If this were literally any other year in the past decade Horizon would have walked away with numerous rewards. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for us they released their game
the same year as many other incredible games. Im still a little gutted that they didnt win though since I finished the game yesterday and its all thats on my mind atm.
Splitting awards like that is a not how a selection process should work.
"X won't win this award, so we'll give it that award." that always raises questions.
The Champions ballad shadow drop was the clear highlight for me!! I've just been tossing around 'shadow drop' as some kind of depressing EZA meme and then it happens in one of the best games ever. BLISS!
MADS was that floating guy on top of the truck, he made the same hand gesture as the previous trailer.
What's really upsetting about the Death Stranding trailer, is how complex and full of symbolism it is... The kind of stuff that would have been PERFECT in a Silent Hill game...
Glad to know (based on a quick google search) that I wasn't the only one that compared Josef Fares here to Tommy Wiseau.
thankful for these reaction vids
the best game won without a doubt
Persona 5 didn't win, neither did Horizon. jk Zelda is amazing, but i think those other games, and Odyssey are just as good
You gotta appreciate Eiji Aunoma for pulling off that role play.
Man, well deserved winners, but it's kind of a shame that the year was so filled with great games that some incredible games ended up not getting enough recognition, where they would've probably cleaned house in a different year.
Oh my god Ian, you were like a shaman in this video. You know so many things before it happening.
"This is an awards ceremony, not a press conference"
I dunno, some of these announcements were better than entire E3 press conferences.
I'm a little bit sad because Horizon got snubbed so hard at this event. Still it's my GOTY for 2017, even though I really like BotW.
It just came out in a bad year. BotW is tough competition. If it came out next year I bet it would've swept a lot of awards.
How'd you come to that conclusion? Just looking at Sony's projects for 2018, off the top of my head we have God of War and The Last of Us 2. I doubt Horizon would sweep anything.
Febre Gundam The game was good on paper but had a bad execution
DAMIANI (or Blood, I know you read these) Did you know that you can use the youtube shortcuts for the , and . keys (the ones next to the M key) to move forward or backward one frame? It would help a bunch for navigating in the future :D
also, the arrow keys go back and forth 5 seconds, and the J and L keys go back and forth 10 seconds. And the K key starts and stops the video :D
Yeah I recently learned that you can move the video frame by frame with , and . and it's changed my life (not even joking)
The mistake Sony made was releasing HZD the same time as Zelda. It just got swallowed. Its almost like an SUV merging into single lane highway when a speeding Mack truck is charging along that same highway. In a year without Zelda or Mario, HZD might have won.
It hardly got swallowed concerning sales. It will surely win more awards elsewhere. It's just sad and not understandable why there was no outstanding graphics award.

I imagine that in 15 years, Horizon will own a space in the gaming landscape similar to a Mark Of Kri. “Hey remember that Sony game that was good and got really good reviews but that nobody talks about anymore and most people don’t know exists?”
Persona would have won
auraxfire persona 5 would have easily beat HZD without Zelda though
auraxfire HZD was good on paper, but badly executed.
Why not Tenchu though? From changed a lot from that time and a darker Tenchu is to be expected. Plus the shadows quote.
I hope man I have no interest in a dead a game series unless it a reboot
Sword Wills
You talking about Tenchu? If it is Tenchu it's definitely a reboot at this time.
yeah I was talking about Tenchu like I'm just so disinterested if it's turn out not to be Bloodbrone 2 in some way
Sword Wills
I think Bloodborne 2 will happen down the line anyway. Tenchu is a surprise though and it's a great time to bring it back and give it another chance. So I hope it really is Tenchu. Remember it will still be a From/Miyazaki game and I expect great things!
It looks like Tenchu for sure.
Ian losing it at the From Software tease was great. Like watching someone get the best gift.
Geoff seems like a nice guy, but every time he speaks he gives me douche chills.
Game Awards 2016 - Easy Allies Video ??? (Death Stranding - Trailer 2 React)
This game awards was incredible ! loved the EZA reactions Death stranding trailer was interesting but it was the least interesting of the 3 by far to me
The death stranding trailer looks like they were transferring that dead body somewhere when their truck got overturned.
man! i love your channel!! Thanks
Why does it feel like that's Gehrman's leg? In FromSoftware trailer.
Adem Recber It doesn't at all. Also, the music is Japanese. You're just seeing what you want to see and you're wrong.
Tenchu baby
Japanese.
Its a game called Kuon
How the F did Ian predict the Zelda motorcycle?!
Holy crap, and he predicted the shadowdrop for Zelda too!
He already knew it, Bosman told them, look at the guy on his left after he said that
Man like 2 years later and I still wish Nier:Automata got more recognition 😭 well deserved award for the soundtrack though
LOL this was actually super awesome... But honestly... Keighley makes me feel just a little bit uncomfortable whenever he interviews someone.
He surely has such a stick in his ass.
Take that Damiani your "4 star" game won.
both reedus & fares are doped up :D
brandon should be here
He was at the show :P
He’s out greasing palms.
I'm glad this show went as well as it did. Geoff has had a bit of a rough run with the game awards over the past few years and this show was outstanding for the most part. No Joel Mchale to bring everyone's spirits down.
In that From Soft thing, that looks like Japanese, but just ancient classical style Japanese script used for poetry and stuff, like artistic calligraphic English.
Tim Ogul So Tenchu?
They just showed Bayo 1 and 2 port on the switch and your guesses were everything but Bayo 3, I don't follow the line of thought.
Wasn’t able to watch it.
I was too busy with the snow that hit Texas.
MarutoFighter sleet*
no it straight up snowed in Austin. Not alot, but definitely snow.
It hit Colorado, too.
agreed.
Death Stranding gives me a big Roadside Picnic/Stalker vibe, looking forward to it :)
kyle showing his hoody to the world
No reaction to GTFO coming out this year... Not many days left of this year!
The hazelight segment is one to be remembered
I appreciate the FUCK out of these timestamps. Good on ya
so no one caught the Last of us hospital escape theme in the medley?
*sad face*
38:00 Sounds like destiny but in a Dragon Age Inquisition way.
A way out guy, best moment from the game awards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bayonetta 3?! Needs more love!
Best art direction should have gone to Persona 5 but the rest were fair enough. Good show, Keighley.
Wait, Huber, you haven't played warframe? It definitely doesn't have the best tutorial (having chat or a wiki up helps), but it just is generally fun to play. Also lots of fun if you like customization, fashionframe is no joke.
That moment when your trying to make sense of it all then the baby gives the thumbs up... Yeah I give up xD
2:18:01 best part
Hellblade, Cuphead, and Zelda all won 3 awards
36:00 bottle saver.
Will the Schick hydro bot reveal himself?
thank god PUBG didnt win
Why?
Kyle doesn't show up on these meetups.
Who reacted to From Software's teaser just like Ian????
The From Software game might be a reboot or sequel to Shadow Tower?
HOLY SHIT!!! That's Synster Gates.
Dreams and Project Octopath Traveler.
And BOTW WON!!!
My life is complete......
36:04
Nice Catch!
I just want to see reaction to goty but it's hard to find
Found it, 3:12:26
