Sorry if a thread already started about this, didn't see one.

Anyone staying up watching this tonight?

All the details here:

http://www.spike.com/shows/video-game-awards

I can't see but can you watch it live on the website or are there any other links to watch it?

I think i'm most looking forward to the 'Last of Us' PS3 exclusive.

The VGA's are absolute ballocks but will be interested to see tomorrow what new games have been announced.

I don't understand the age verification on these videos - Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock Infinite require them, yet the Last of Us, which features a person getting their head shot off, doesn't. Hm.

BEST PC GAME
Portal 2

I would have thought Starcraft 2 would have taken that

BEST SHOOTER
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

now thats just pandering to the masses considering it got panned, BF3 should have taken this

BEST MULTI-PLAYER
Portal 2

again BF3 should have taken this

No razzies for Duke Nukem?

Zero-Cool · 11-12-2011 2:16pm

Now this I find genuinely surprising - never actually believed this C&C franchise would get another game. For good reason imo; Generals 1 was a bit pants & the mythology fairly generic & uninteresting compared to the Tiberium / Red-Alert ones.

How can Skyrim be GOTY without being Best <platform> Game for any platform?

richymcdermott · 11-12-2011 5:44pm

I dont believe skyrim deserves game of the year with the sheer amount of bugs and glitches the game as on pc,360 and ps3 from what im reading the problems the game has . Not to say that the same is bad probably a amazing game and i be picking it up christmas but from the sounds of it its not polished so for me batman arkham city deserved goty or zelda skyward sword though i havent played that yet either.

Yeah it's unpolished, but a few hours in I stopped caring. Skyrim has more old-fashioned adventure, wonder & fun than other games could hope for.

wait until you play it, its a life sucker of a game and the many bugs are easily ignore-able in it

All I can say is that since I bought Skyrim, Batman AC (despite being a great game that I was really enjoying) has since been sitting in my games I must finish pile.

Yeah it caught me by surprise as well.

I welcome it and the short clip looks cool enough, especially with is using the same engine as battlefield 3

Speaking of BF3:

BEST SHOOTER
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Bollocks!!!

Yes I have BF3 in my sig. But I've played both and I do genuinely think BF3 is better multiplayer and Crysis 2 was better then COD in the single player. MW3 is the first COD game I genuinely got bored with and didnt bother finishing the single player, the formula has run its course. It was getting old at Black Ops but that was so in your face insane that it got away with it in the single player a lot. But MW3 had none of the charm of black ops in its single player and its multiplayer is frustrating at best.
