The Game Awards reactions: It Takes Two wins GOTY!

All set up and ready to go. Laptop in front, where my keyboard would normally be, with this thread open. The stream playing on my gaming PC at the back, as usual. The only change for this year is I've given up my headphones for a soundbar.

90 seconds.

lol, streaming it on my tv.

And we are go.

Sydnee. Wonder what she's been doing since she left IGN.

Straight to a premiere.

Tunic. Not really new. Got this on my Steam wishlist. Looking great.

Sadly, my TV has no access to high speed internet.

Hey, @texasgoldrush, your favourite game won something.

Woo.

😮

Stop trying to make Godfall happen. It's not going to happen.

They asked Reddit for an opinion. That's a big mistake.

King of Fighters XV. Man, I thought this game already released. Feb 17th. Sorry, but any game releasing in February except two will likely go in my sale bin.

Thanks SNK

Homeworld!!! Please have a release date.

Q4 2022. Can't wait. Straight on my wishlist.

Telltale Games.

The Expanse game. Hopefully they won't go too crazy with the licensing this time.

Next, Babylon's Fall. The more I hear about this game, the less I'm interested, sadly.

I hope Babylon's Fall is good, but to be honest, I just wish Platinum focused on single player experiences lol.

Chivalry II. Nothing to say. This and Mordhau looks fun, but I'm not a multiplayer person.

Monster Hunter Rise? Yup, Sunbreak expansion.

Next, another Annapurna indie. Thirsty Suitors. Looks very... ...Indian.

As usual this is terrible.

Yaaaay forced diversity! Give me MORE!!! Thirsty Suitors will be GOTY. If you disagree you're a racist.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak looking really good. Can’t wait.

This cowboy demon game looks pretty cool.

Evil West. Looks pretty fun, but not much else.

Next up. Another indie. Grim Fandango vibe.

Have a Nice Death. Looks like Grim Fandango as a platformer. Kinda like it.

Meh, Returnal was robbed of best audio!

Takeshi Furukawa's name front and centre. Almost forgot he's not the developer. The game itself also has Ico/Last Guardian vibes. Bold. Let's hope it's not Left Alive all over again. Planet of Lana.

Last pre-show premiere. Atlus. A Persona 4 spin-off. Yeah, I certainly didn't see this coming.

Right, on to the main show.

Sweet, excited about Persona 4 Arena Ultimax coming to PS4 and Switch!!

Finally! A great announcement!!! P4 Arena Ultimax!!! So steamy!

Let’s goooooooooooo!

Stings washed.

Why is Keighley such an artsy Hollywood goon? This is dumb performance is not needed. Most of us don't live in SF or LA. We're real people, give us the real shit.

Not a bad song. On to opening montage.

Man, Psychonauts 2 really deserves to win something.

Geoff's in the house.

2021 really was a great year for games, under appreciated in some ways.

2021 really sucked, huh? Terrible. Just terrible.

Please clap.

I gewd. Me no shill.

We all know who's that directed at. Still a nice one, Geoff.

Giancarlo Esposito. Far Cry 6 kinda wasted him, to be honest, but he still gave it his all.

First shit game won award. more to come. yawn yawn.

just show me world premier.

Premiere. Ninja Theory. Must be Hellblade 2.

Hellblade II looking great.

Way to denounce Activision, Keighley...

@xantufrog Hellblade 2 gameplay

Hellblade 2 Game play

Looks awesome

Boring. Hellblade 2 Do nothing again.

@Miyomatic: He was getting shit on social media.

Lip service, Activision is there and dictating the "awards".

Is this a gameplay??? you are doing nothing??? literally nothing!!!

Wow, Hellblade looks like a movie game. I've been lead to believe that's bad, right?

Lol, this isn't a game. Garbage

Hellblade looks like one giant cutscene. Practically all on rails. lol

Also, graphics were definitely downgraded from the initial reveal.

I'm glad they expanded the gameplay in Hellblade.

The first was a good game but extremely linear

Wow that was amazing.

Hmm. Looks more like a cinematic in-engine demo than actual gameplay. This looks way off. Still looks gorgeous though.

Now, a brand new game. Lucasfilm. Please be Jedi Fallen Order 2.

" That is not cinematics, that is gameplay"

@SolidGame_basic: aw man, missed it! I'll have to pull it up later on YT

Really cool trailer for Star Wars Eclipse.

Nope. This looks more Clone Wars-y.

Star Wars Eclipse. Ah, the new Quantic Dream Star Wars game. Prepare for more bad writing and half-finished ideas.

The war on dudes continues.
