The Game Awards Returns on 8th December with 'Very Special' Ninth Show

I know that the show is essentially a way to charge publishers and devs an exorbitant amount to advertise their wares… but I do enjoy The Game Awards if I’m honest.

It'll be a monumental waste of time like every other show Keighley is associated with. Hard pass.

Every year is "Very Special" Keighley is just a dumb hype man he's full of crap

I miss when this show was just an embarrassing meme fest. Now it's just a boring, overlong slog of early access game announcements and content for the handful of huge multiplayer games.

Its can’t get any worse…can it?

I never watch it live as it's always on too late so I catch up on the game trailers the next day while skipping most of the award stuff (only check out who won GoTY)

I'm one of those that don't mind the fella tbh, seems to come across as a decent bloke to me. There's always gonna be hype for gaming and the disappointment that comes with the hype every year. It's almost impossible to have banger after banger 30 times in a row on every show, that would be impossible. And it's not like Geoff Keighley is able to get every single top tier current triple A game in development for his shows, again that would be impossible. A part of me hopes Elden Ring wins game of the year just so we don't get Xbox or Ninty fans moaning saying bullcrap like Geoff is just a Sony Pony fanboy. It's not Geoffs fault if Xbox ain't getting any goty wins. Make the games that are good enough to win first, then you'll have a good chance

A very special show that can’t get any worse. I’m holding my breath Keighly

@SinfulDestroyer Just as much as you like making new accounts.

@Ralizah Glad to see so many people dunking on Keighly. Usually see so much praise for the guy and I just don't get it.

I will obviously tune in to this. It will obviously be garbage. My relationship with Keighley is unhealthy.

Not really sure what poor Geoff does to warrant so much negativity.. dont watch his shows much these days, bit too long and padded out with fluff, but it is important and nice we still have someone willing to bring and give games some good media presentation, otherwise we would have nothing.

I love how "no one ever watches the show", but they keep beating their records of viewers

I'm so tired of seeing Keighley in every damn show constantly hyping it up for it just to be disappointing. I never thought The Game Awards was good and now we can't seem to escape with him wanting to take over the E3 period. I don't get the hype behind the guy. As usual I won't be watching this.

Thought they would go ahead and name it "The Elden Ring Awards" this year. Yeah I know, GoW:R, but I can't imagine it living up to the hype.

Maybe, "The Horizon Ignored Again Awards". 😝

Depending on how tomorrow plays out I’ll probably skip TGA this year. Not sure who’s at fault but every one of Geoff’s shows have been absolutely terrible and a waste of time.

Geoff Keighley is just doing his job. If any of us were in his position and our livelihood depending on generating hype for an event, would we really act so differently?

Sure, he can be a bit much, but so what.

Stay tuned for a very special Geoff.

I would like to recommend that people check out Geoff's recent interview on the friends per second podcast (also on youtube). I know he has a reputation for being annoying and overhyping, but his interviews are really impressive and give some good insight into the different interests he is trying to balance with these types of events. Definitely changed my perspective on him!

It is just too loooong with many dumb categories (esports and stream... ehm, INFLUENCERS!!!). Replace Goeff with a competent host, get rid of some categories and maybe it will be watchable. The only thing I enjoy every year is the soundtrack medley of GOTY nominees.
