Poll: Did You Enjoy The Game Awards 2017?

@roe Yeah, I think you nailed it right there. It was a nice celebration of an incredible year for games.

Overall, I enjoyed the show. The Andrew House tribute along with the live orchestra were awesome. Their final compilation for the Game of the Year candidates was very well done.

Josef stole the show

Didn't watch the awards, just caught up with the news this morning, which was all really cool and interesting!

Favorite part was the Zelda DLC trailer. As that's not an option, though, I went with the part where the developer starts shrieking profanity on stage. A childish part of me love when some element of chaos is introduced to staged affairs like this.

And it was OK. An hour too long, imo. It got pretty boring in the middle of the show.

@YummyHappyPills I think you mean "basically everything bar Zelda DLC and PUBG reveal because this is a PlayStation website."

@ShogunRok yeah but PUBG I think that’s more acceptable cus you, and everyone else here knows that game will in time come to PS4... why wouldn’t it...

@YummyHappyPills You want the rest of the industry you can ask the lads over at Nintendo Life to make a poll consisting of less the half the options here.

So I totally forgot about these. I was grinding through the Osiris missions when I realized the Game Awards were on. DOH! It sounds like I missed out. My picks were pretty spot on though...

Oooh dear, yet another comments section being trolled by a Nintendo fanantic.
Backs away slowly.

I think it was OK. Can't say I agreed with ALL the winners but then that is to be expected as not everyone likes the same things. I thought the live Orchestra was good and the game reveals in general were what I expected - it was never going to be like E3 or Gamescom but still had some 'big' games.

It did seem to drag at times and a lot of the awards were skipped over very quickly - not even presented. Some Ads were repeated too many times - did you know Rocket League was on Switch? . Overall though, it wasn't too bad or particularly cringeworthy.

@lacerz Damn, that's quite impressive.

I watched like half of it. My fave Sony related part was Soul Calibur 6. Still not sold on Dreams or Death Stranding.

Fave overall part was Bayo 3, followed by Zelda DLC.

I guess the biggest problem is that people according to your poll enjoy the game announcements more than the actual awards. They might as well skip the awards and just have a bunch of video game trailers

It was cool show I liked it.
Cool announcements cool Trailers GG Geoff.

@roe
Spot on chief, it was just a really cool celebration of gaming. My only real gripe was with the amount of ads and sponsor messages but I guess without these the awards might not be financially feasible so, definitely a price worth paying.

Never been a better time to play video Games!

@dryrain
The awards are more for the developers. It helps with marketing.

@lacerz dude! You were totally spot on! I never would have predicted HZD to be shut out, but you nailed the predictions. You must know their judging criteria well.

Imo there is a degree of politics in anything subjective like large awards shows. The Oscars are usually a joke. I can’t disagree with any of the results from yesterday because I haven’t played most of those games, but I also take these awards with a grain of salt. But it is fun to talk about.

Didn't watch it, only watched the trailers of the announced games after. I despise TGA.
Best Chinese game? E-sports?
Also, Horizon didn't win anything, screw this "award".

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. This event is starting to interest me more and more each time it happens.

@LieutenantFatman
It's getting obnoxious frankly. If people don't like the site, leave.

F**K THE OSCARS

My biggest complaint (which applies to all awards shows) is that too many of the awards were given off-screen; kinda treats those categories and winners as less notable. I understand time is limited, but they're only five extra minutes a piece or less counting presentation and speech.

Anyway, overall, really entertaining show. Agreed with most of the winners and many of the new announcements were enjoyable. Some of the humor was indeed funny, the orchestra was classy, and the cringe was kept to a minimum (and when cringe did happen I was laughing with everyone and not at them).

@Gamer83 It is getting obnoxious, I agree. I come to the comments here to have a friendly chat and a bit of a laugh about PlayStation related fun and it seems more and more recently we see things kick off with aggressive demands for Nintendo to be acknowledged. Very odd.

It was great, best one yet. Mostly because people got to say their part on stage, the announcements were exciting, and the best games won awards.

@get2sammyb
Unfortunately, what I pulled off for The Game Awards picks doesn't seem to translate over into anything profitable.

Enjoyed this year a lot more than the one I watched the other year, the orchestra was excellent, reveals ranged for me from 'oh my' with Bayo 3, suprise with Zelda dlc, gloriously bonkers and genius in equal measure with Death Stranding and delicious intrigue via From Software (Bloodborne is still my fave PS4 game and one of my faves overall so here's hoping), and nice recognition for various individuals. It's still a rough gem but it's getting more polished every year and as it seems to attract important figures of the likes of Kojima, Aonuma etc to attend and reveal it feels like it will only become more relevant in the coming years.

@Gamer83 @LieutenantFatman there's also that lovely "ignore" option you have, which seems to be working quite well for me since I didn't see any Nintendo troll comments

GTFO caught my attention. Didn't like that they didn't show all the winners in the show.
So sad HZD didn't win, but it's my GotY!

The incredible Death Stranding trailer seems to be running away with the final question. Big surprise there

An 3+hour award show where the winners don't get their due on screen? Classy NOT!!!! How come I could not see the geniuses behind Persona 5 saying Thank You?

@RedMageLanakyn Fair point. It's not an ideal solution as in some threads you see staff and mods putting them in their place but of course they snap back and so it goes on & on as trolls don't back down, so you still see half the argument. I will consider it though, thanks.
