Thought I'd start a thread where those of us watching VGX can discuss what's going on.

Didn't see that coming.

Transphobic and misogynist jokes less than five minutes in. You stay classy!

This is why I keep it muted until the trailers come on.

Not sure why that'd change because the name is different...

Even if the jokes aren't offensive, it's painful to watch. Glad I have a forum that will explode if something actually happens. :)

I'm not watching it yet. What did they say that was transphobic?

Grand Theft Auto V. It's a great game but I don't think it was the game of the year.

Wouldn't be mine. I love the vision and work Rockstar did on GTA V, but so much of it was a fucking bore. Except airplane stunting with friends. That's always fun.

The Last of Us was my game of the year, easy. Maybe the game of the last five years.

Yeah I think that was my game of the year too. Maybe Bioshock Infinite, but I know many of you will disagree with that :)

It's three hours. Three hours. Mostly of stuff I either don't care about, or have already seen, surrounded by stupidity.

So I can either watch something brain dead for three hours, or skim the headlines and catch up in 30 minutes later tonight. To be fair, even if I did care about most of the content, this is still the better option.

I mostly play games with it on in the background.

Heh, Infinite was nice, but too darn predictable. And the combat... yeeesh. Heh.

I can't do that, I inevitably start paying more attention to one thing than the other.

Besides, I've got two bipeds I need to keep struggling to model. Lord I hate character modeling.

Apparently it won't embed, so here's the link.

Trying some newer stuff, and that should be lauded. I'm just wondering how the gameplay will hold up. I loved Alan Wake, but for the story-telling, it wasn't exactly groundbreaking to play.

Here you go!

Yeah I do like that they mention the action based gameplay is based on their experience with Max Payne, hopefully that means it'll feel satisfying.

From these little bits I've seen it'll be more than satisfying. Seems like there will be plenty of new experiences for each little encounter.

Yay! No footage, just the announcement, but glad it's confirmed.

I love Tim Schafer's games. Day of the Tentacle was pretty important to me growing up.

Granted it was always offensively awful. Yeah, the jokes could go on and on about how bad the VGAs are. But really, they go and make jokes like that? Glad I'm not watching it.

Like the backlash they received from the first transphobic joke wasn't worrisome enough, they went off and let Joel McHale say more ignorant shit.

Oh. My god. I'M SO IN.

I'd forgotten just how much I love Handsome Jack.

I am excited about this game, and a silver lining of having Destiny delayed is I'll have more time to play this.

Yay! No footage, just the announcement, but glad it's confirmed.

If it's not rated AO there's no way it's going to measure up…

While I give Spike credit for trying something new, hence the re-brand and the difference in format, its a pity they let Joel McHale troll the entire thing.

At least we got this gem:

Right! Guys? Hello?! ._.

as much as 3 hours were not necessary for showing it, Joel Banderas is pretty awesome.

Last five years? Lol. Someone apparently never played Vanquish :-p

In terms of time spent thinking about it, no fricking contest.

Haven't played The Last of Us, though. Yet. Now I can!

Quiet you! I played the demo, and I didn't care for it.

Fortunately my list of favorite games has a compiling-committee of one, and they always know exactly what I like!

;D

That was pretty much my reaction, too. I would honestly pay money for an hour of recorded Jack dialogue on its own.

This too. I suppose I never really forgot that I loved him, but after the twentieth time hearing most of his dialog, he kind of becomes... Normal? You get used to it, and even though it's funny, it doesn't deliver the same reaction anymore.

But those two lines? With the maniacal cackling? Oh that brings it all back. And "So many people are gonna die." just sells the entire trailer.
