Poll: Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2022?

I'd like to watch it but staying awake might be hard unfortunately

No reason to, Push Square will just summarize all the relevant bits.

I’ll end up watching it because I’m apparently a masochist. Can’t wait for Geoff to say something about harassment in the industry and then immediately move onto Activision Blizzard though, he has no shame. Perhaps he’ll bust a union live on stage.

Industry back slapping, i dont watch it regardless of media, music, tv, films, games.

I'll catch up with the announcements later cause I hate (with a passion) watching ads + parents don't want me to be up too late either, show is way past my bedtime (timezone)

Edit: Kojima appearing = a dead giveaway too (guess the timestamp)

I’ll set my alarm early and watch it the morning after so I can fast forward the fluff

Won't screw over my sleep schedule in order to see The Rock advertising an energy drink but I do hope that there are some cool announcements. I mean at least FF16 will most likely get a release date which already is something

One of my traditions is watching it over Discord with a group of friends. The announcements can be exciting and it's always amusing to poke fun at.

I'll watch it and probably hate myself for doing it.

The Game Awards - You all watch it, so I don't have to 😂
You guys earn your pay by sitting through this one.

Na. I'd rather watch Spain pass the ball around without any end product for 120 minutes than this.

@edwinjoe450 My doppelgänger.

No as I couldn't care less what game wins which award and no doubt I'll hear about it for months anyway. As for the trailers and announcements, I'll just catch up with them on here or YouTube later

I'll be watching. I know they are long, but I feel they have gotten better and better each year.

Yeah i will watch it with a Youtuber i like, i only care for the announcements though.

@ApostateMage haha! And that is why they are out of the world cup!

The only thing I voted for on this was "I'm a huge fan of Geoff" because I couldn't resist (I barely even know who he is to be fair) 😁

So, I don't know. I might have it on in the background, or I might not, it depends on if I'm staying up to watch Thursday Night Football or not, I guess. And if I do, I'll look out for any games I haven't played that do well, as it will bring them to my attention, and any cool announcements or gameplay footage. Jedi Survivor and I'm happy, as it's the one game that's definitely slated for 2023 that I'm most interested in.

If it was a different time or that late but on Friday/Saturday instead of a Thursday I'd watch it.

Yes i will be watching the game awards.for the announcements.word up son

Too late for me. I need my beauty sleep. The only thing I'm interested in is the new game trailers

@nessisonett Ha, exactly how I summarised it the other day. (The masochism thing, that is.)

I'll have it on in the background via Steam (no point in missing out on the Steam Deck giveaway), but I won't be paying attention to it.

I watch for the announcements and the awards but also to support Geoff, I have alot of respect for him and he genuinely seems to like games.

Watched it twice. It was a waste of time both times. I’ll just catch up on announcements later, and spend that time actually playing games.

Geoff Keighley tries way too hard to keep the spotlight on him at all times. It would be better if he talked less and didn't feel like he needs to introduce and recap each trailer shown.

I can see why Sony and Nintendo would rather put their announcements in their own format where they let a series of trailers play uninterrupted and let the reveals speak for themselves.

This is a bad example but at the Summer Game Fest, Geoff went on a string of goat puns to the point where the reveal of Goat Sim 3 was already spoiled before the trailer started. Like imagine if the original Smash Bros ultimate reveal trailer was shown after some guy made a bunch of obvious references to Smash beforehand. Completely ruins the shock of the reveal.

I'll watch the trailers later online. I don't care who wins but am happy for the creative teams that do.

Too late for me. Even if it was at a convenient time, I find the awards sections to be dull. The announcements are the only reason I pay any attention to this event.

Not really

Just like the directs, I'll check the highlights later. See what new games they announced.

I’ll most likely just see if it’s being hosted here and look for updates here. I could watch it as my partner will be working during that time, but I’ll most likely be using the time to work at the platinum for Birth by Sleep, the only real challenge being the secret bosses you have to defeat with each character.

I’d have it on in the background if I wasn’t asleep.

I literally watch it just so I can listen to The Jaboody Show do live commentary on it and make fun of it.

Poor Geoff only got 2%

I watch probably more for announcements now, but that's because they don't take the awards seriously. Most of the awards are announced as things that already happened and a lot of the categories are a bit bs anyway.

I wish it was a well produced award show. It has flashes of the show it could be every year but they can't seem to nail the mood or format.

Just like the Governmental Elections, our votes mean squat. "He who pays the most, wins"....Let alone, out of all the games released, they cherry pick mostly trash....

Nope, American tat which ends up feeling cheesy and childish.

I will also be at work and England have a works cup match.

I'll have it open on a Steam tab for the Deck giveaway, and peek at it every once in a while just in case something interesting happens. Mostly I'll be gaming as it airs.

Geoff who? Looks more like the love child of Carson Whats-his-name and Jesse Something-or-other.

Spoiler: it's going to be rubbish!

@Ralizah same here! If it weren't for that giveaway, I'd skip it entirely

4:30p, perfect timing, fresh off of work

Yea I’ll watching the game awards

Nope, I will read about the news coverage of all the game reveals and whatnot the day after. I have very, very little respect for TGA nowadays (I wish I had none at all tbh).

I'll just grab the trailer announcements later. I regretted the couple years I did watch most or all of it, such a huge time drain. The show needs to be 90 minutes.

Starts just after midnight where I am but might try and watch a bit on my phone in bed with the headphones in.

I definitely won't be watching that. It's the worst possible time for EU players.

Nope. I can read about the announcements the next day.

Hahahaha. Hardly anybody is watching for the actual rewards. LOL Yeah, I'll watch, but only because I'm an insomniac. And I'll have it on in the background, only watching when there is a cool announcement.

I'd like to watch it and see the awards, but I'm UK so this timing is no go good for me.
I'll catch up on announcements later. At least I don't have to cringe through most of the show now

I'll watch it for the steam deck giveaway. the time is stupid though so I might not make it all the way
If it wasn't for the giveaway I'd just catch up the day after

I watch for the announcements AND for more Keighley. But this year I'm watching for a shot at a free Steam Deck as well 😅

Too late for my time zone, but also don’t like all the talking and padding that usually happens during these shows. So, will watch afterwards and fast forward.
