I hope that indie darling that no one has talked about all year

Control

gets at least a nod.

Undead Scottsman

If you watch on Mixer you get free crap for Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4.

If you watch on Steam there's a small chance you might win a game.

Mr. G

really excited for when they award Kojima with the Congressional Medal of Freedom for his brave work

You joke, but Control was a sniper's bullet fired directly into my interests so I hope it gets some rewards. And a trailer for the DLC. And hell gimme an Alan Wake PS4 announcement.

Also Titanfall 3. Gimme robots.

darunia106

Control is gonna get robbed and i'm gonna get mad.

Just show me the trailers.

Maddoc

"Global gaming citizens"

expendable

Why no captions option?

Peewi

Is it just me or is the audio messed up on the Steam stream?

I guess I'll just leave Steam open in the background for the giveaway and actually watch the ads on youtube.

Maddoc

I joke but this is a sweet little aside, but all of the preamble about Facebook gaming and global gaming citizens made be shudder

doin the same, just turned steamk down to 360p

Maddoc

The Steam stream never even loaded for me, whatever I'm watching it on twitch on my TV anyway

Undead Scottsman

Holy shit, they're actually giving time to name all of the nominees?

Maddoc

Not surprised by that win, but disappointed nonetheless

No Great Name

oh no the death stranding sweep begins

Radius

So they really are giving every award to Death Stranding, huh

Javen

FF14 not getting a best score nod is a crime

YaYa

Death Stranding beating Sayonara Wild Hearts for best music is the worst awards fuckup since Bohemian Rhapsody winning best editing

H0b0man

I am all about Maneater. Hook that shit up to my veins.

Donnicton

I don't remember anything particularly memorable about Death Stranding's music, especially compared to the rest of the games on the list. (Devil Trigger was fucking great)

I like Kojima, but I really hope it isn't going to just be an entire night of fellating Kojima every chance they get simply because avant garde, but I really fear that's what's going to happen.

Mr. G

every time they do an eSports thing and the crowd reacts like she is speaking a known language with meaning is really messing with my brain

LuvTheMonkey

Uh yeah this shark game owns.

Maddoc

I like Chvrches, I'll say that for Death Stranding?

H0b0man

Why is there a best esports event? Don't all these events happen every year? It's not like it's a "best esports moment" where it wouldn't be the same nominees every single year.

The "humans kill tons of sharks, but sharks only kill a few humans" was a very good bit to open it on

If esports is going to continue being a thing, I'm REALLY hoping it reaches the point where people stop going with dumb online handles and just use their real names instead.

Mr. G

that sizzle reel reminded me there was a fifth Gears of War and it was released like three months ago

H0b0man

Ya it's not like the members in top esports teams have any sort of anonymity a handle would give you. Everybody following the sport knows who they are and in most cases they know their real name anyways.

ChicoBlue

I want people to use their online handles for Esports forever.

It's very silly and I like it.

Donnicton

Catan?

H0b0man

I will say hearing ESPN people who know nothing about DoTA or LoL pronounce some of these team or player names when they have to plug some event that ESPN2 or whatever is going to show is pretty great.

YaYa

is this host’s dress falling off the balcony

Donnicton

holy shit

Javen

okay that fakeout actualy got me

Radius

fuck i love no more heroes

H0b0man

Why do we have a top reddit award? What nonsense is this.

Javen

I'm still just...not a fan of Cloud's new VA

Mr. G

I'm so into No More Heroes' particular brand of stupid bullshit

Cristoval

Death Stranding makes me no longer want Kojima to touch Silent Hill.
