Do you feel hype for the TGA?
- Thread starter lunanto

It's usually a pretty fun production and sometimes you get a gem through a fun developer personality like the guy representing A Way Out. Plus, Keighley himself is a great hype man and his enthusiasm for the industry and games is infectious. As long as the on camera presenters are people who want to be there, it's a good time.
It's the first time in years where I don't feel like watching it.
The Death Stranding debacle really soured me on it.

Eh, not being able to see it live lessens the hype. I'll wake up and check my phone to see what got announced.
No, I never watch any of this stuff. If some sort of big trailer comes out for an IP that I'm interested in, I'll watch it on youtube later.
I wasn't hyped until all of the Resident Evil stuff started happening. A new Smash reveal would also be cool, as well as the rumored BotW2 info/trailer.
I'm always interested in the TGAs, both for announcements as well as the award breakdown (as well as seeing some industry figures speak), but I wouldn't categorize that interest as 'hype'.
I'm mostly interested in whatever trailers they show. The awards are fun to discuss, but I wouldn't watch it solely for the awards.
The whole "finally, this one is for us gamers 😎" attitude of the show is a major turn off for me. I've only watched part of it once but it seemed like it was just a big celebration of the biggest studios and biggest personalities in gaming. "Gamer culture" is just kinda lame to me. I'll be curious what gets announced but that's about it.
It's a time to honor the best games of the year and we get new game reveals. So yes I do get hyped for it.
Looking forward to watching post show excerpts. And hats off to Geoff, doing what he does requires dedication and a lot of energy. The awards themselves are unimportant, it's about the concentrated dose of gaming news.

I think it's weird how so many claim it to be the end all be all for game awards. It's sure got advertising money going for it.
I enjoy it for what it is, but I feel like people just give it too much importance.

Kinda. The reveals are fun. The other content is a little boring but it's one day out of the year, sitting through a couple of hours of self-indulgence is not the end of the world.
Nah. They're so manufactured and fake that I feel virtually nothing watching them.
I can't wait for them to give another award to some streamer who turns out to be a misogynist or a racist like two weeks later, just like they do virtually every year. Maybe this time he'll show his ass BEFORE he wins.

What?? I think people like it more and more each year. It help that every year seems a bit more mature/professional each year
Hard to get hyped for something that's on in the middle of the night where I live....I'll catch up on any announcements that may interest me tomorrow.
Good luck to all the nominees though.

It's extremely low this year. I'll watch, and I'm excited, but I don't expect to be blown away by anything. If I can come away with 1 or 2 "Oh, neat" reactions, I'll consider that a win.
Absolutely. It's a fun event that celebrates something I enjoy. It's been corny, exciting, and boring, but at the end of the day it has some announcements and is about video games.
I love cracking open a beer and watching with my wife every year. Nice way to unwind and, hey, it's something to look forward to.

Can't see it live anyway since I'm on the wrong side of the planet, so at this point I just want to be confirmed that my original thought since months ago was right, that DS will win no matter what metacritic or IGN or Edge or Giant Bomb might lure you to believe. I'll skip through the event tomorrow after work.
it's TGA, not VGA

Yes but with tempered expectations. Most of the show is pretty uninteresting to me, but watching it with my friends and seeing some cool reveals makes it all worth it to me!
Yeah it's mostly pretty embarrassing but it's fun to watch and reveals there are often cool reveals.
