I wont be watching

Not even for new trailer what if Hellblade 2 and Avowed shows gameplay at TGA

To be fair, that game had some pretty stiff competition for that category.

That not the same as watching live for the hype lol

I usually watch the show for the game trailers, but the prestige of this award is going down by snubbing the highest rated game due to it’s genre. I think Geoff need to come out and say what is criteria to get nominated for GOTY for his award show

Keegs did acknowledge at least

There’s a problem in the TGA much like the Oscars. There are genre or subgenres of movies that have been snubbed despite being of extreme high quality, just because they’re not Oscar caliber, which basically means Oscar bait. Comedies and animation come to mind for example.

I find it funny because the TGA think they’re better than the Oscars, but eventually they just do the same thing.

Can we talk about how ridiculous it is Halo Infinite isn’t nominated for most anticipated?

TGAs are the day after it releases. Makes no sense. Starfield took its place.

Wait doesn’t FH5 have 3 nominations?

I thought the nominations of 20 they listed was games nominated in different categories, did I misunderstand

Yes but it was just about the nominees for Game of the year.

FH3 has 3 and Flight Sim and AoE4 both one.

I’m not surprised.

The last IGN Gamescoop had good things to say about FH5, but they still titled their episode Forced to play Forza. Some of the talk on the episode came off that way as well as a ho hum I guess I have to play this despite the praise and it literally being a gamepass download a way.

I haven’t actively kept up with games “journalism” in going on a decade+ now though, and the only real podcast I listen to now that Garnett Lee stopped is Scoop. I miss Garnett and Davison and crew as they were one of the few crews that seemed to like everything from niche weird Japanese games to talking shop about Sports or F1.
