Alan Wake 2 deserves praise, I was worried it wouldn’t but I’m glad it’s being recognized. I love that game. Sam Lake and Remedy are just stellar developers.
Honestly fuck Alan Wake 2 for stealing best soundtrack. Anyways, I'm gonna give myself a few weeks to hold a grudge against the game, then I can't wait to play Alan Wake 2, seems like a cool game and I'm only just not hearing about it.
Celebs shouldn't have anything to do with the game awards, it's clear they don't know what they're talking about or who they're giving the award to It should all be gaming industry people, specifically devs and not execs
@@Sohelanthropus Jordan Peele was the only one of the celebs they had that knew what he was talking about IMO, he validated games as a legitimate form of media. Doesn't excuse the Kojima squad from being up there for ages while all the other devs and winners only got 30 seconds to say something
@@webbedshadow2601it's because it's a fucking celeb money sham now, its not about games. That's why Gollum won an award when absolutely NO-ONE asked for it or wanted it. It's only for high end studios who's only worth is their literal network and not actually game quality
Fun fact: Flute guy (real name Pedro Eustache) also worked with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack for Dune. Most flute-like instruments on that album is literally flute guy giving it 110%
The drummer (the one of the white T-shirt and the giant beard) is another Hans Zimmer mainstay. Been so since at least Inception, maybe before (and his work on the live version of Mombasa is godlike).
spider-man just wasn't that great. Media just inflates any Sony game on reviews, even if the game is not that good. it didn't even deserve to be nominated this much.

Honestly, spider man had no chance of winning, not because it wasn’t a good game, it is because Baldurs Gate 3 was just that good. Even if there was only 20% of the quality in Baldurs Gate, it still would have won unanimously
I disagree. I think it’s more Baldurs Gate 3 was the only half decent game. I don’t see BG3 sweeping it against games like Halo, Mass Effect, Breath of the Wild etc. Wouldn’t even sweep it against Elden Ring I don’t think. People say this a good year for gaming but it’s been kinda bad.
It's still funny seeing Sean Murray go up on stage and announce HG's upcoming fantasy open world game with all 12 of their developers in the audience in front of Todd Howard. Todd probably giving death glare to Sean.
Pedro Eustache is the name of the flute guy. I remember him when he was touring along with Yanni back in the 90s-2000s. And yes, he was just as crazy with his dancing, you can hear him cheering during some of the songs they played (typically their fast-pace songs), and played a crap ton of different flutes as well. I'm glad he's still going :D
God, I feel so bad for Jessex Cox. First they blind his date, then he had to risk being seated behind Todd Howard as he watched no one give a damn about Starfield.
you didn't even mention the fact that matt mercer was a speaker for a bit!! best part. came for matt, stayed for the baldurs gate 3 sweep and flute guy, dude went HARD!! i was screaming lol.
I don't understand why they make fun of Spiderman for not winning an award, being nominated for multiple awards is just as good, unlike Starfield which was only nominated for one category out of pity.
Should have had 2 segments for Geoff trolling everyone by saying “a small indie company from Australia with a smash hit” and when he emphasized “TITANFALL”
Respawn even was hinting at shit on twitter. This should be considered a form of fucking torture to blue ball this bad for so long dancing around the topic as well as they do
The game ads show (with a bunch of awards for the devs, but we prefer to give time to celebrities and Kojima instead of letting the winners give a speech, even for GOTY)
Imo all these ads, trailers and stuff should happen separately to the awards themselves. Most people that I know were watching the show don't even remember them properly because they wanted to see the awards so bad.
I'm glad nothing bad or cringe happened in this game awards. The only letdowns were the speeches being cut short and Find the Flame not being performed by the orchestra.

I disagree. I think it’s more Baldurs Gate 3 was the only half decent game. I don’t see BG3 sweeping it against games like Halo, Mass Effect, Breath of the Wild etc. Wouldn’t even sweep it against Elden Ring I don’t think. People say this a good year for gaming but it’s been kinda bad.
@@jaybee4288 It's a good year for circlejerking one game, if nothing else.
@@jaybee4288wow you sound sad. I think its time to move on
It's still funny seeing Sean Murray go up on stage and announce HG's upcoming fantasy open world game with all 12 of their developers in the audience in front of Todd Howard. Todd probably giving death glare to Sean.
🗿
I guarantee you that Bill Clinton guy tried to get into TGA this year as well. Security wasn't asleep this time lol.
he was in the audience, the venue gave him a permanent trespass notice after the show
@@firstamerican7450 He was in the audience this year?
1:05 that shit would’ve killed me if it actually happened 😂
You will never find love as strong as the one Geoff has for Kojima
I actually screamed when I saw this live 1:15
🤨 Who gave Geoff the pass
Looks like it's "game over" for him
That’s what I was wondering.
Maybe Anthony Mackie.
I thought I was the only one that caught this at the time lol. Glad to know others heard the same thing.
Kratos did.
Silk song and Elden ring fans literally going hollow.
the only 2 things I wanted from the game awards
@@DolanDarkerlive chat was the worst they keep spamming "elden ring" and calling every other game L/cringe/bad
@@DolanDarker*and titanfall 3
Most i saw spam was Clem whatever that is
@@pikelz1190 That's from Warframe
thanks for taking a break from the slop to make this
Pedro Eustache is the name of the flute guy. I remember him when he was touring along with Yanni back in the 90s-2000s. And yes, he was just as crazy with his dancing, you can hear him cheering during some of the songs they played (typically their fast-pace songs), and played a crap ton of different flutes as well.
I'm glad he's still going :D
When Geoff said "studio from Australia" had a mini heart attack then calm
Man, I feel the pain insomniac is experiencing right now
Also insomniac: we got money
They suck and don't deserve anything
Im pretty sure the only reason behind Geoff invites Timothee Chalamate in the end was because his similarity with the rabbi bill clinton guy 😂
1:47 IM DEAD
Dude the Blade actor really said "Let us cook" I cracked up bro
0:26 - he is locked in
No he's frozen in time
Fortnite: Multiple 2 minute ads
Game of the year winners: 40 second speech
2:19 Opening of a cs chest caught me off guard lmaoo
You missed Christopher Judge's Call of Duty roast, that was the best part!
Glad we didnt let the winners do long speeches, that way we got Kojimbo on stage for half an hour.
Imagine if the 16 year old actually came back for this year's game awards
He was there, but sadly he didn't sneak into the stage.
@@mrtruman4339 Sadly? I found it incredibly cringeworthy, could even have been dangerous having someone sneak up on the stage so easily like that
he got a cease and desist when he posted about him being in attendance on twitter
Isn't he 18 by now?
@@mrtruman4339 I seen it
God, I feel so bad for Jessex Cox. First they blind his date, then he had to risk being seated behind Todd Howard as he watched no one give a damn about Starfield.
you didn't even mention the fact that matt mercer was a speaker for a bit!! best part. came for matt, stayed for the baldurs gate 3 sweep
and flute guy, dude went HARD!! i was screaming lol.
This pretty much was "The Game Awards 2023" in a nutshell right here.
I don't understand why they make fun of Spiderman for not winning an award, being nominated for multiple awards is just as good, unlike Starfield which was only nominated for one category out of pity.
i mean, i dont like spider man 2 as much, but i agree with you. at least he was there
Being nominated a few times doesn’t mean shit, especially when marvel’s spider-man 2 is woke garbage.
pay 2 win awards
Spider-Man getting swept was better than I could have imagined
I’ve watched this so many times since you’ve put it up and skibidi followed by Matan at the door has me rolling every single time
“Jeff has told me to tell you to take as long as you want”
(*insert teleprompter telling you to “wrap it up”*)
Should have had 2 segments for Geoff trolling everyone by saying “a small indie company from Australia with a smash hit” and when he emphasized “TITANFALL”
Respawn even was hinting at shit on twitter. This should be considered a form of fucking torture to blue ball this bad for so long dancing around the topic as well as they do
The game ads show (with a bunch of awards for the devs, but we prefer to give time to celebrities and Kojima instead of letting the winners give a speech, even for GOTY)
Congratulations Dolan for winning the best game award.
I legit cried when he won the award
Sam Lake dancing the chad dance of his life vs Kojima standing around like awkwardly
I swear every Game Awards for the past few years have been the 10th anniversary one
Imo all these ads, trailers and stuff should happen separately to the awards themselves. Most people that I know were watching the show don't even remember them properly because they wanted to see the awards so bad.
2:42 man is sad for spider man 😔😔😔😔
The flute guy went through an entire character development arc.
Both Dolan and Pyro decided to bless us with some non slop today. Be grateful piggies.
You could tell from the moment the horrible choices on the nominations happened that it was going to be a shitshow.
I'm glad nothing bad or cringe happened in this game awards. The only letdowns were the speeches being cut short and Find the Flame not being performed by the orchestra.
"Nothing bad" the whole show was fucking awful
There was plenty of cringe haha
Agreed. This was by far the smoothest Game Awards so far. Every year is an improvement over the last. Really enjoyable.
The bad or cringe stuff makes it so bad it's good. This years was just boring
The fact that ffxvi lose to some mario game is kinda bs so I didn't expect much just watch for the game trailers
This was One Of the Game Awards of all time.
Spider-Man 2 is like Xenoblade 3 last year. Got nominated for a bunch of categories and lost all of them, most to the goty.
i was up till 5 in the morning waiting, HOPING to see a silksong announcement.
The Call of Duty roast was hilarious.
01:00 damn that was just Perfect! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Congratulations to all our winners" (Baldur's Gate 3)
Wake up now Dolan is back
“Baldur’s Gate 3” is such a music to my ears 😩
Apparently there was only 10 mints of actual speeches.. in 3 hours
TO THE ONE WHO LEFT IT ALL BEHIND AND HIS OVERWHELMING INTENSITY
