Game Awards 2018

[milliniar]

Well no Avengers and no From Software

Rumors were wrong.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Rumors were wrong.

I am disappoint.

 

[ArtemV]

GoW still should have gotten the best soundtrack, narrative and performance..

But GOTY is the most important. So, yes! Feels good. RDR2 is way more popular. But another win for my PS4 bros.

 

[Hyperglide]

Sucks that RDR2 lost it but can't win them all. Pretty crappy year of gaming overall. I only bought a couple of new games. RDR2, FH4, Far Cry 5 and a few indie games. Hopefully 2019 is better.

It's the only reason I watched this shit

Really? I thought this year had some fantastic games. GOW, RDR2, DBZF, Dead Cells, Monster Hunter, Spiderman and now SSBU.

Well deserved

 

[GearSolidMetal]

This announcement was surprising.

Seems like it wasn't long ago MKX was released.

Figured WB Games and Netherrealms was going to give MK another 4-year layoff and do another DC fighting game. Apparently the last DC game didn't do as well as expectations if the decision was made to say 'Fuck DC, lets make another MK game.'

And nearly as weird they actually are calling it 'Mortal Kombat 11.' That just doesn't seem right.

The dev cycle for Nether is MK/DC/MK, regardless of sales returns, atleast at this time. Even when first Injustice did well, their next dev focus was MK. Nothings changed.

Ah, you are correct.

MK9 - 2011
Injustice1 - 2013
MKX - 2015
Injustice 2 - 2017

Got the recent two switched around in my memory.

 

[Madmick]

Best Ongoing Game

Fortnite

Yawns. I think No Mans Sky deserved it just cause they busted their ass to fix that game.

 

[Mga223]

Congrats to GOW.

Thought rdr 2 deserved it but both amazing games.

 

[Hitman81]

Jeff, Jason, Ben and Brad are the only dudes I can tolerate. The east coast guys are annoying cept for Vinny but he gets drowned out by that Abby chick and that annoying tool Dan. Alex is hit or miss.

I find Alex Navarro absolutely insufferable

 

[Valhoven]

Sticky-status and your host, ladyboys and gentlemen, Glide, H. Prescott.

@Hyperglide

Realllly need to play Astro Bot. I’ve got it already but I bought a ton of VR stuff around Black Friday so I haven’t gotten to it yet.

 

[Hyperglide]

Good job @Valhoven stickying the thread and updating the winners. Was hard to keep up in real time. I'll update the OP later. At work currently.

Sounds like a plan. Your incremental, live updates on the evening's accolades and teaser-trailers were most hospitable.
