Great news for the Game Awards! Hope Keighley keeps doing his own thing because they've been getting better
Was a great show and that is not taking into effect the Covid situation. Geoff has really grown this shows into something I am looking forward every year..
And with no E3 this year it was nice to have something with some production value in it

It was alright, could have been better. But I'm just happy we still got something with 2020 being such a shit year and all.
Well deserved, the best awards yet, still much to improve but it's in a good place.
For me the biggest improvements that still need to made are getting rid of pre show awards (really just combining the preshow and show because it's the same and we're already there)
and
also getting more video game creators to present awards. Invite actors for some stuff of course if that's what you want but keep it relevant to gaming, for example Tom Holland was a good choice because of the uncharted movie (though a trade would've been nice to have along with him)
and lastly give a bit more attention to the actual awards don't just list them off 3 at a time really fast.

Ok, that is a lot more than I would ever have guessed. Strange that they aren't able to regularly secure big announcements.
While the nominees not being there in person was a bit awkward, it honestly felt better when they didn't always pan over an audience of half-empty seats. They should just stick with this format and find a way to beef up the video quality of presenters a bit
Anything to get as much eyes on the games industry in a more critical discourse sense is good in my eyes.
TGA continues to bully E3 for its lunch money more and more with each year. Cheers to Geoff and Co., the show was a seamless experience and very well put-together considering the circumstances.
Mindblowing numbers and a well-deserved success. Really appreciate that Geoff and his team managed to pull off a production like this under these circumstances and provided some entertainment and exciting announcements in this shithole of a year.
I have yet to watch the actual show, but well done on the team for pulling this off! The adverts in previous shows put me off a bit, and two and a half hours is a bit long for a show (Plus certain awards are relegated to the part fewer people are watching).
Certainly a far cry from old award shows that were embarrassing to watch. It's come a long way. :)

I wonder how many people switched off after Sephiroth got revealed? Snark aside, awards shows are just very much not my thing cause i just don't find the idea of a bunch of people slapping each other on the back congratulating themselves all that appealing to watch (just like the Oscars or Emmys). But fair play to Geoff, it's a formula that works and we've not had the similar type of "shows with games reveals" kind of experience this year cause of Covid. And it probably made him a lot of money. So well done! As long as everyone remembers that the awards themselves are utterly meaningless.
Thought the unveilings were really weak this year (which makes sense) but I do enjoy watching every year. Congrats to Geoff and his team. The hostess (Syd was it?) does a nice job.
