There's a ceremony you can watch. The King of Sweden makes a speech and gives away the awards. Apparently the peace prize and the peace prize alone is awarded in Norway, I don't know what that's about

I'm gonna be streaming Sims 3 every Saturday (maybe) with the intent of gradually adding expansions. I'll be starting with World Adventures and Ambitions installed so it's not COMPLETELY barebones though. If anyone's particularly interested in seeing such a thing I can post the link here when I stream it. I-if that's okay with you, Mr. Games

precision posted:how the gently caress is Dragon Quest Builders in "best family game" and not "best RPG" and why is dark souls 3 an rpg now Why are "Action" and "Action/Adventure" categories? Can't come up with better names than that? I mean half of those comparisons are laughable. But nobody knows what to do with game awards so its all a mess.

Gaming award shows are just big commercials but having a most anticipated game award really gives the pretense up.

I am shocked that the awards show is such a mess with it's nominations! They've always been so perfect before. Golden Goat fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Nov 17, 2016 |

FirstAidKite posted:What's bad about that? I think it had some really interesting visuals and ideas, and was one of the more memorable films I saw that year. Plus it was well reviewed and did decently at the box office. It feels like it got nominations based on the idea (which is certainly similar to some films that have been real stinkers) rather than the execution.

Love Stole the Day posted:Because of this post I actually just looked it up and apparently the guy running this Game Awards 2016 thing is the exact same guy who gave all those awards to No Man's Sky. Its a peer system like the Oscars or whatever. And last year was epic, because Kojima was denied admittance by Konami and the place freaked out and then Joosten had a lovely performance on stage. I like the VGAs

The VGAs are the only awards show I can stomach because half of it is just announcements and performances and they don't let people on stage talk. It's also still so low key and low budget compared to other media that you have poo poo like Joel McHale being drunk and failing miserably live to even pretend to give a poo poo about what he's doing.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/418440/?snr=1_7_15__13 I ended up playing Tick Tock Isle yesterday, finished it in one sitting. It was pretty neat tho it had what felt like a lot of backtracking and stuff. Interesting little adventure game, ultimately not much to it tho, it just kind of ends at the end I guess.

One thing I'll say about those game awards is that they seem to be pretty inclusive and quick on the uptake when it comes to the diversity of styles and new trends. Most VR games might suck right now but it's good they have a category. How long did it take the Oscars to consider animated films, for instance. Or how they hardly know what to do with popular films, comedies, or action movies.

Inside is the one I'm probably the most likely to play, short term. Jury's out on when I'll get to Witcher 3 & Doom. Same for Uncharted 4 though I'll have to actually buy a PS4 to do that first.

In Training posted:Oscars added an animation category in 2001, approximately 110 years after the first animated film was created Although animated films have been nominated for stuff outside that category before and since. It's pretty easy to get too overspecialised in awards though. I doubt many people understand the difference between the Sound Mixing and Sound Editing category (I sure don't), and stuff like the Action Adventure vs Action category in those awards has the same problem.
