Hey everyone! With the nominees out, I thought I now was as good a time as any to make a topic for The Game Awards. Feel free to discuss who should win, who should be nominated, what announcements will occur, and anything else Game Awards related.

I will upload the full list of winners after the show, but in the meantime, you can find the full list of nominees here. You are able to vote for the winners until December 6th, which happens to be the day of the awards.

The video below also outlines the nominees, and goes a little bit more in depth as to what each category means.

@dmcmaster Nope apparently not.

Some ass just spoiled the ending for me, so that sucks. I guess that's what I deserve for browsing Twitter.

@dmcmaster I thought the Escapist had already been acquired by a different company, though.

So, uhh... I was riding my horse up to Rhodes and saw a glowing yellow spot on the ground. I was naturally intrigued by this, so I went over to check it out. After hovering above it for a short while on my horse, I figured it was just a glitch and was about to leave. Right as I was leaving, my horse bucked me off and proceeded to spontaneously combust.

I quit and reloaded a save, which lost me about 20 minutes of progress. It could have been worse, but it still sucked. I have no idea if it was a glitch, or just a weird Rockstar thing, but damn it was odd. So, word of warning, if you see a glowing yellow spot on the ground, avoid it at all costs.

Listen, I'm sorry about your girlfriend. Truly, I am. That said, that is a very specific situation that likely does not equate with most of the gaming population. Cosmetic micro-transactions are in most cases harmless, and your own personal situation involving them does not change that.

As Luka said above, most of your argument is simple opinion. Red Dead is a phenomenal game that many people feel is worth a 10. Just because you don't agree does not mean that they are wrong, or that the gaming community is dead. I've not played Odyssey, but I know plenty of people who would disagree with you on that point, as well.

Calling EZA corporate propaganda is absurd, and your argument has no legs to stand on. They just have a different opinion. Them agreeing with the big corporations on certain situations is not a bad thing, and is never done with malicious intent.

I would argue that the reason the gaming community is suffering is because of people like you. People who think that a differing opinion is "corporate propaganda." People who refuse to allow others to enjoy what they want to enjoy. People who are so disillusioned with gaming as a whole that they are unable to look at things positively. The list goes on and on.

Listen, I'm sorry if I come off as antagonistic. That is not my intention, but your argument is exceptionally flawed. Fundamentally so.

@dmcmaster Say what you will about the game, but this art looks awesome.

@hanabi I've no doubt the mode will be fun, and the special rules of the matches are cool. I just thought Sakurai's comment was pretty funny and a bit off the nose.

@hanabi I agree completely. This is a very good cast overall, but they really should have saved King K. Rool for the end. I was really hoping they wouldn't put Ken in the game, but oh well.

The thing I found funny about Spirits is that Sakurai said it's like simulating a bunch of fights that otherwise wouldn't be in the game. That is definitely not true. If I'm fighting like a small Villager or something, I'm not gonna think "oh man I'm fighting Mr. Resetti," I'm just gonna be thinking about how dumb that little Villager looks.

@tokeeffe9 damn, I knew the game would be successful, but not to near GTA levels! I was worried that the game wouldn't sell at the unrealistic expectations that Rockstar probably had, so I'm breathing sighs of relief right now.
