Rip in peace

Xevross · Dec 11, 2020, 02:50 AM

anyway, first hour was a great show then it just went downhill, dragged on too long and too many ads

fudgy Bioware announcing Mass Effect when Dragon Age is still years away. So annoyed.

Xevross · Dec 11, 2020, 02:51 AM

kinda soured the show for me that being the last thing, and it wasn't even a good announcement. They showed nothing at all.

They announced mass effect was happening like a month or two ago.

Exactly, I don't get this at all. A pointless reveal. It just stings more when dragon age was also in this show and seems to still be years away, then they run it in with a "this is why" showing they're making mass effect too.

So I'm gathering Sony showed just Returnal?

Makes me expect a state of play in the coming weeks. Maybe early january?

I have no idea what got announced other than Evil Dead. Also, I'm down with an Evil Dead game. Bruce Campbell said he's never going to be Ash again, so I'm glad he changed his mind, even if it is just for a game.

My list of announcements I enjoyed

Not exhaustive.

Can't forget smash

Most awards ever won at TGAs by a single game was 4.

TLOU2 won 7.

Yeah Seasons looked great. Can't wait to see more.

I'd also be all over Returnal and super excited for it if it was about half the price.

Let me tell you a story. In 2013, in the middle of Transistor’s development, I had a private breakdown and was shortly diagnosed bipolar. I was in a bad place and didn’t think I could keep up with the demands of the job, so - terrified & not knowing what to expect - I told Amir.. https://t.co/tPa1lVkBaK

Hades really deserved better

Oh well, TGAs is just one event. They can still set a big new record for GOTY awards for an indie game.
