If they could throw 5n1p3r in there somewhere, too, they could really capitalise on the CoD crowd.CriticalMiss said:
I have a really bad feeling that all the "expanded digital footprint" statement means is that there's gonna be obstructive, annoying hashtags flashing up on screen. That seems to be a really unfortunate trend with all awards shows nowadays
If the host is not SLJ... Then, you're wasting your time streaming on sites that technically have their own station to stream this "award" show you have going on here...
Also, what's with the "X"? Is it the new "R" word in the title or the new SLJ? If its the latter, than I don't know what to say about this... I might watch it on it's intended format, but don't expect me to fangirl for anything that's going to happen during that show...
...unless it's SLJ...

Video Game Xwards. The letter A is for niche audiences anyways, totally not radical enough for todays hip and funky mainstream audience you feelin me broski?Grabehn said:
I know i'm asking for too much but can we have celebrities who actually give a damn about video games do these for once? I have yet so see Vin Diesel at this event.
Eh, screw it, they'll find a way to ruin our credibility anyways. I still have horrible memories burned into my brain from 2011's attempt at humor.
Allow real gamers and well known gaming celebs to host a real show, not some big names who likely don't know anything about games as well as shareholders and suits who don't care.
I always took the VGA with a grain of salt and always will. Have somebody like Jim Sterling and/or Angry Joe be the host.

I've long ago realised that 'award ceremonies' are nothing more than circle-jerks with a live audience.
That belief won't change.

You know how lame and predictable and pointless MTV movie and music awards have got. Well this is the video game award show thats just as bad. it'll be all about BF4, new CoD, GTA5 and coz everyone bums Blizzard SC2 and WoW.
they used to be completely awful. i believe the first one awarded Madden game of the year over Splinter Cell, GTA: Vice City, Wind Waker, etc. and for the next few years they had some profoundly stupid and gimmicky awards, but in the last few years they have been a lot better.Bix96 said:
its still a platform for advertising, but i think thats the best part of the show. everyone wants to see the announcement teasers/trailers.
people just still give the show a lot of crap for how bad it used to be.
great use of the true "Spike" on the front page. Don't watch the award show myself (being in good old Blighty) but if it's anythng like the gaming baftas (paid for by the corporations to congratulate the corporation) it's probably a load of shite, brightly coloured shite!
The VGAs are the industry's flashy but lame attempt at turning classic video gaming into some sort of fratboy fanboy party fanatic event. Complete with all sorts of nonsense zero-credibility awards and celebrities any person with an IQ will know immediately from the get-go is not really into gaming. The only consistency I find in them are the awards for the games I totally never see coming or mostly find undeserving. All the awards will go to BF4, COD, GTA V and the best voice over to Ellen Page.
Okay, so they have improved over the years... I can imagine 300 years from now the VGAs will have half the credibility of TB or Angryjoe.
It's gonna take more than a name change to undo all the ridiculous things they have done over last few years.

Yay now I get to watch more "game journalists" rave about how awesome corporations are and how much they love all the money that they make off advertisements for mountain dew and the new Madden game...
Hmmmm, no. No, the X doesn't do...enough. How about VGSolveforX? Or perhaps VGXMarksTheSpot? Maybe VGXY for cross-promotion with Pokemon? Let's go SUPER-90s with VGX-TREME (Beach Volleyball).
