VGX is an atrocity

Promises broken, dreams shattered - is our industry really still in this position? Spike, what are you doing to us? Is this some giant conspiracy to discredit gaming as an art form? Not so very long ago, Spike announced VGX, a replacement to the much-lambasted VGAs. The VGX was created to be a rebirth – a celebration of all things video games. The award show aspects would be torn away, and it would be a true, intimate look at new games and upcoming games for us to celebrate our industry. This is what was promised.

Nice to finally see the deserved backslash. A shame they had to go this far for it to happen.

Kingthrash3604554d ago (Edited 4554d ago )

yeah i've never watched these award shows. they always seemed off key. i've seen a 2 min clip of this show and cringed 3 times. just an embarrassment.
fun fact: that's 1.5 cringes a minute

AngelicIceDiamond4554d ago (Edited 4554d ago )

The misleads and hype is what I didn't like.

But the Kindergarten hosting skills is what really pissed me off. Tyler and Odd Future Hosting as well? seriously Spike!?

Why do we gamers have to be insulted like this? When will they take our hobby serious? For Godsakes we have Hollywood saying good things about our hobby you would think they would be taken seriously. I'm not talking about an Oscar quality show, but freakin decent one at least?

Whatever its not the first time the VGA's sucked (it has a knack for suckin) and I'm sure its not the last.

MestreRothN4G4554d ago (Edited 4554d ago )

Then the choices... I thought it was pure bribery in the past, but then they pick TWD, a lower prof¥£€ game. lol ok, complete BS confirmed. But now... GTA is the best game, but TLOU is the best PS3 game and AC is the best action/adventure game, both beating GTA is these categories? How the 'duck'?

Ok, for AC you can say it fits the genre better, it is more precisely typical action adventure, but for TLOU, what? How can it beat GTA when this was proclaimed the best game of all?

Anyway, they just give their prizes to make spons--- everyone happy. Keep doing it like this. Your end gets sooner this way.

PS: purely logical question, not saying one or another is best. I never really compared both and my best of 2013 would go to a completely unimaginable choice.

Kingthrash3604554d ago (Edited 4554d ago )

tlou is an exclusive to ps3 gta is not, thats prolly why.
secondly i wanted tlou to win goty, not taking away from gta but tlou was a work of art imo. i kinda knew gta would get goty tho, its a steller game. sold a ridiculous amount its only major hiccup was gta online.
but tlou had that grip on you to where you just had to play it...it was a horror/adventure/comedy/shoote r/strategy game rolled up in a apocalyptic game that was stunning to look at. it was the only game my girl would sit and watch me play.

Down with diaper man!!!!!!

P.S Look at Kazs comments on twitter. LOL

HolyDuck4554d ago

Almost 100% sure he doesn't actually have a twitter, if you're talking about @KazHiraiCEO, it's a parody account.

MasterCornholio4554d ago

Doesn't change the fact that they are hilarious though.

Nice try.

MestreRothN4G4554d ago

KazHiraiCEO is a fake, but the best one is gaming.

The best about it is that it spares no one, no company, no game.

chrissx4554d ago

Most disappointing vgx ever and I mean literally. What a shame

Fallout 4 VGX Announcement Coming On Strong?

Bethesda has yet to confirm Fallout 4 for production despite the huge anticipation and hype shown by the fans. This was the case until yesterday, when a leak image somehow hints that Fallout 4 is in development.

There has been numerous articles based on that same tweet. I refuse to get my hopes up since I do that too much anytime Fallout 4 anything gets rumored/speculated. If anything I'll be shocked if it gets shown at VGA 2014.

nX4213d ago

Shocked is the right word, I wouldn't expect that already. They're certainly not working on last gen platforms and it's still a bit too early for a game like Fallout 4.

Pogmathoin4213d ago

I want this game so bad, but now cynical of anything about it as well now.... Just announce it...

gangsta_red4213d ago

I'm right there with Paytaa. We have been trolled since New Vegas of a Fallout 4. And everytime it never happens. No way am I going to even think that a new fallout is coming. NOPE!

I REFUSE!

*please..please...please be a new Fallout!!*

Roccetarius4213d ago

Probably another hoax like the rest of it was, while Bethesda didn't deny it to use it as free advertisement.

irishyort4213d ago

Definitely wont be an announcement. Bethesda people have even stated there wont be another Fallout anytime soon

Apocalypze4213d ago

Anybody here wants a fallout game for ps vita on the go? Would be amazing!

irishyort4212d ago

@apocalypze dont know why you got the disagrees. I'd frikken love it!

I love Borderlands 2 for my Vita. Cant stop playing it. Fallout on Vita would ruin my free time but i dont care

Basement Dwellers: The gaming community's self-image

A creature of basement-banished isolation, their faces a contorted cross between Jon Heder and two kilos of silly putty, with skin the colour and texture of a peeled achacha. That is what most people will have you believe is an apt description of the average gamer – a being so out of touch with reality that their only escape from the terrors of social interaction is to take refuge in the sweet embrace of a virtual space. Though even more hand-clammily terrifying is the gaming community’s absolute lack of interest in a much needed reconstruction of our self-image.
