I still think Split Fiction got robbed not being a GOTY nominee but at least it should still win something. The 2024 GA had a relatively poor reception if I remember right and I don't remember much if anything about it so hopefully this one is better. This has been a fantastic year for video games so the awards part is gonna be more compelling than usual this time.

Mmmmh ... Pretty sure it was the one in 2023 that got a good amount of backlash due to the time constraint they put on every award speeches and cutting short the GOTY winner's speech as well. 

The one last year got that stuff dialed back and overall felt like a better presentation and even if ... that's still the Games Awards show so slow pacing, ads ads ads and even AI ads 🤢, uneccesary celebrity cameos, Hideo Kojima having all the time to f*** around with Geoff, sweeping through a large amount of award categories with no fanfare, etc ...

So yeah, I've got no hopes this will do anything different or interesting.

The 2024 one actually has a worse like to dislike ratio on Youtube than the 2023 show so despite that I think reception was even worse. At least even a relatively poor Game Awards is still better than a typical Summer Games Fest or Opening Night Live.
