Also this year's Game Awards soo far has the same terrible pacing problem like every other past show. First 30 minutes were pretty great overall and past 30 minutes or so has been mostly very dull.
Even the pre-show had the same exact problems going on and that was just 30 minutes long. |

The Wolf Among Us 2 was officially announced with the new Telltale Games and AdHoc Studio as its developers.
This awards show legit might have had way more time spent playing ads than was given for actual awards announcements. Not in the sense of world premiere trailers but in the amount of ad breaks that got stuffed into the latter half of tonight's show. |

Death Stranding didn't win Game of the Year award. Guess Kojima should have slipped a few more bills towards his buddy Geoff Kegley's way.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice took the Game Awards' top award instead. |

Didn't know where else to slip this:
Wasteland 2 is free on GOG for a few more hours. Of course I had to take the opportunity to get it again. Only other person I can even think gives a shit (Destor) already played it forever ago as well, but hey, free is free. |

E3 is obsolete. Its only value is to small studios and even that could be circumvented by being in a direct/stateof play/etc.

The cruelest bit of 'news' that I got from one of my friends was Street Fighter 5 coming to the Switch. Then he tells me later in the day that they retracted that...and then proceeds to piss me off further by saying Konami is continuing with Silent Hill.

He took a bit of a hiatus after RDR2 and when he came back I imagine he was probably doing early work on GTA6. He has said publically in the past that working on GTA6 is basically impossible and he doesn't know how to go about it with the extreme polarization and overreaction of liberals and conservatives alike. I wonder if it ended up being too much for him and he just got fed up trying to thread the needle.
