The only reason besides the show itself to not watch this garbage…
Reggie will wost this event , though…
Will it be hilariously awkward like last year?
“Electronic Arts has long championed the way gaming brings together players with the talented teams behind the world’s greatest video games”
Pffffft…
Indeed…
This infectious disease must be eradicated at once…
Come here just to pffffft that comment.
Celebrating all things videogames… except, you know, Nintendo, positive role models, and actually good games.
Opinion noted but did you not note that Reggie is on the advisory panel for the show? So yes, Nintendo is included.
no quotes from konami or nintendo?
Lord Reggienator will only tease the reveal of Cranky Kong’s mother for Smash Brothers, he won’t announce important things in such a hepatitis infected place…
That actually sounds like something he would be allowed to do XD
Like that stupid Twitter Q/A, damn, he answered like 3 questions, and they where about his favorite things, how pathetic!
I think it is the best, among ego-horribly comments, it’s better not be mixed with them
it’s cranky kong dlc for mario kart 8. LMAO
Award ceremonies for any entertainment medium are horrible.
So sad.
to highlight all good things with video games so
this event will be cinematic
you need to download a program so the life stream will work properly
you have to pay for the last 10 minutes eventhough they should have been included
there will only be mainstream shooters no other games are allowed
the people on stage will be annoying youtubers who can only scream and overreact to non scary games.
DA DEW
phil spencer i love you :3
am horny
Great…. can’t wait to watch Ubishit and Microshit win everything.
Although, Skyrim did get announced at VGA’s so I’ll watch just in case anything get’s announced. Here’s hoping Nintendo wins a ton
I definitely won’t be watching this bullshit, playing some ssb4 hopefully. ..
I remember when they had the creator of the brown box and 360 fps nubs were all like huh what? Derp derp derp my k/d
I’ll give this award a chance just because the big ones are going to take part of this. If it doesn’t work, then I’m done.
please this is merely a marketing tactic. and awards will be given to the highest bidders.
Ubishit will win every award with their Unity buggy game they can’t fix, where only microtransactions work. Yet, you never he how buggy and awful a Nintendo game is, and if there’s something that needs fix, 3 days later they release a patch.
These game award shows are NOT worth watching. Unless you’re an Xbox or Playstation fanboy.
Not even. It’s crap. Catch the trailers online after the show for any new game announcements.
if reggie would show a new Trailer of the Legend of Zelda it would be easy to rock the entire Show. that would be over the top.
but i suggest he reveals a cranky kong amiibo costume dlc for Mario kart 8 and Smash
