The Game Awards came and went and there were a handful of nice announcements, but it seems the majority of viewers were not impressed with Geoff’s show this year. Each year the organiser and presenter, Geoff Keighley, does a user poll on social network X to gauge feedback regarding what people thought of the event. The Game Awards 2025 received a D rating from 404K votes, which is rather dire. Last year’s The Game Awards received an A rating with 183K votes.
Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards 2025 has received a D rating on X
I think it was pretty good the only bad decision I think was putting respawn new ip at the end as their last big announcement, Divinity was by far the best reveal for me
I thought it was pretty boring. But tbf, it’s a Twitter poll, so take this as a grain of salt. Most of the people that voted D probably weirdos that thought it was woke or something (e.g.: I saw the live chat during the Girls Make Games section.)
What?! Hasan is that you? Show was trash in general worse than last years. Everyone agrees trash but corpo shills. But cry fake woke all you want.
What? You admit it was boring then attack the people who gave it a D? People are allowed to opinions and clearly Geoff wanted to hear it and yes things are woke not the only reason people can vote D you even admited yourself it was boring.
Hasan Piker why are you here?
How was it different from last year though?? Felt almost identical.
It’s good that people didn’t like the Girls Make Trash part
That thinking is why gamers are treated like trash. Show was worse than last years somehow even worse given how close we are to next gen. This gen was trash!
This gen honestly just feels like an extension of last gen.
I think the show was well done and it was a decent one.
Just a corporate jerk off session, nothing more.
Yup and for Geoff to pocket money.
Yes. Your correct.
Saying it received a D rating when majority rated above D is a weird take.
D for deez nuts lmao
But lol the show was absolutely fantastic. Really my only note was some of the trailers were clearly only there because publishers shelled out the big bucks rather than being chosen because they were the most exciting reveals. And some of the rapid fire awards should have been up on stage with acceptance speeches, even if it made the show like 30 minutes longer. Everything else was really fantastic and great
The game awards were pretty bad we didn’t get Ristar 2 or Pong HD remaster
Yeah it was trash.
vendo arcade nuovi tutti originali anni 80 e 90.

20 minutes of the actual event vs. Two hours of advertising, the game awards and summer whatever fest should die.
This year, I realized that I’ve never actually said to myself after watching TGA, “I was glad I did that.”
So, instead, I played video games instead of watching TGAs this year.
It’s literal trailer trash, but insults out of the way I’ve watched most of them and this felt the best produced yet. Far less waffle and everything felt straight to the point. D feels harsh in respect to previous show. But no, I’m not going to say it was amazing.
It was so bad Kojima walked out
Mario Kart didn’t deserve to win, it’s the same bland game.. Kirby was made in 3-4 years and has more content.. HALF the time of Mario Kart World. Heck, even people were cheering more for Sonic before MK won the award.
The only MK that Nintendo really tried hard with was MKDS.
D is pretty accurate.
On the positives: more reveals, more INTERESTING reveals (even if we had titles set to 2027 and the overabundance of alien sci-fi shooters), the medley, no Kojima and Evanescence (even if they just played the awful DMC animation theme – which didn’t even win Best Adaptation lololol).
On the negatives: it’s not interesting to watch such a sweep. People talk about competition in the industry but the winner was so set in stone it wasn’t engaging. The last reveal being a F2P hero shooter was eyebrow-raising. The SF movie moment was pure cringe (in a literal way – how people can be excited at a bunch of dudes shouting all the time is beyond me). Milla Jovovich had no business being there, considering she starred on some of the worst adaptations ever. The criteria for winners is still baffling – so a game wins Best Soundtrack and loses Best Sound Direction (???). There’s still a lack of care for most non-Western games besides the big ones.
You know it’s some ace journalism when 62% voted A, B, or C but because 38% voted for “D or lower” that means D rating.
The Game Awards is just a D in general. I genuinely couldn’t imagine going through the pain of watching it and I have no idea why anybody does. It’s very corporate and very boring.
Just catch the announcements that you actually care about (which is only ever going to be about 30% max) after the show.
Is it the game awards show thats bad or the fact developers are more focused on remakes or remasters more than new games?
