Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion

It’s not ruining my day or anything, but the gacha game basically bribing their players to vote for them feels pretty lame.
And I mentioned it in another TGA thread, but for a 4.5 hour runtime, presenting roughly 10 out of 30 awards on stage with the rest being rapid fire announcements between walls of ads/trailers doesn’t feel great for an awards show.
Those two gripes aside, I did enjoy it overall. All the winners’ speeches were very sweet and nice to see, though clearly a rough year for most games not named Clair Obscur.

Yeah, the Divinity trailer was the huge highlight for me.
I enjoyed E33 a lot and there were some very gracious moments, like Broche thanking Sakaguchi. I do wish the love had been spread around a bit more - Hades, Blue Prince, Silksong, The Alters were all fantastic. I also haven’t played it yet, but I hear nothing but good things about KCD2.
Award shows are kind of a silly format in general. It was a wildly strong year for games, and picking a single winner in any category is subjective and arbitrary when there are so many great works.
