I've already set my alaram for 5 AM so I'd wake up in time to watch most of the events :V

Then you can just watch all the reveals later on YouTube without having to sit through all the filler bullshit on your own time. Unless you're dying to know who's going to win "best graphics", "best action/adventure", or any (read: all) of the other useless awards then I'm not seeing the problem

have to say that i gladly bypass a live show like this so that i can then skip past the rubbish parts (usually lots) later and no..... it's not even close to being a 2nd E3.

Well considering Sony might show something at the TGA and they won't show something at E3, I disagree.

I'm glad, it's just a giant marketing show. I'll read about the announcements in the morning.

So you don't watch the E3 conferences that have bad air timing for you?

I won't watch it live and don't mind.
Sleep is more important!

But I will watch all trailers the next morning

That's why I don't care either for this or Sony's E3 conferences.

It's just not aimed to EU audiences, we have our own things anyway.

I feel you. Sony's E3 was around the same time and it was super unfriendly to international audiences

I love it. Means I can wake up and watch it in bed and watch the good parts (announcements) and skip the bad parts (awards)

So, everyone is excited for the video game awards, its basically becoming a 2nd E3 and Geoff does a wonderful job with hosting it, I'm sure there will be many great surprises.

And that makes me sad, because I can't watch it live. See, the VGA airs around 2:30 midnight in Germany on a working day, meaning there is no way to watch it live. Yes, I can watch it after that of course, but its not the same. There is nothing more magical than watching a video game event live with so many people around the globe and hype up great games announcements on the exact same time.

I know that its an american focused show and has every right to air around that time, but as an European I can't help but to feel really excluded from that event. I mean, Nintendo and Microsoft are hosting their E3 events at much more convenient times as well, so maybe hosting VGA a few hours before would be in the realm of possibility?

What do you think? Are more Europeans here who feel the same way?
Its not a new feeling though... Sony's E3 conference was always at 3am. Also, the VGA's are fucking too longg to watch. I prefer to just check out the trailer after. Its not as entertaining as a conference

I keep thinking this is on the Friday night, which I would stay up for but as it's on Thursday I'll wake up in the morning to watch before work.

I prefer it, many conferences and similar have a lot of filler that does not interest me.

So I can get up in the morning with summarys done.

As someone who has to watch most conferences at 1/2am; get over it. Either watch it live or don't, because there's no way you or anyone can change timezones.

You can also just go to bed 2 hours early and then wake up early and watch it in the morning before work. Just watch the Easy Allies twitch stream of it, and you'll still get 'live' reactions/chat too.

I don't really get the 'I'll just watch the trailers on youtube' thing. That's like looking up the results of a football match after the fact. It's way more fun to experience that stuff in the moment in the context of the show.

If they had it a couple of hours earlier it would be much better for the whole of Europe while still being fine for the US and Asia wouldn't it?

I get up at 2am for Sony's E3, but not for the Game Awards anymore, they're never worth it.

Yeah, but there's probably practical reasons for the time, like what ad sponsors you can get/venue availability etc.

Last years Game Awards was better Sony's E3.

I agree. I have stayed up late a couple of times to watch the show, but it's not really worth it in my opinion. Mostly, I'm interested in new trailers, so I'd rather just skip all the "show stuff".

Right, but you're forgetting Bethesda, Devolver and the PC Gaming Show, which account with PlayStation for nearly half of the event (4 out of 10 conferences). That's not "most of it" as I said, nor the most anticipated conferences, but I guess I tried to say that we europeans are used to watch E3 at night, or to miss a part of it.
You're right, tbh I never watch PC or Devolver, and while I know that Bethesda is late, (3-4 am) I almost never watch it live. This year even if I had free days I didn't watch even Sony live, as I get older I'm starting to prioritize sleeping over watching conferences that most of the times are not worth being up that late.

I agree
Basically, Nintendo conferences are the only one I use to see due to time zones lol
