Anyone watch the VGAs?

Great show, there were some pretty good and interesting games that were announced and some really good and surprising trailers, especially by Naughty Dog and Bioware. Bioware got me hyped for Mass Effect 3 again.

anyone who has seen the VGA's and knows me even at the slightest knows where this blog is heading…

was anyone else extremely surprised and disappointed that MW3 got best shooter over Gears 3, Rage and Battlefield 3?

Especially considering how hard Spike was trying to insult Activision every chance they got? They even had someone t-bag an Infinity Ward employee after COD won Best shooter. lol

Honestly, Gears 3 should've won, even though I am pretty disappointed by some of its multiplayer design decisions as a long time fan, it still had a 15 hour campaign crammed with surprises and hundreds of hours of MP gameplay with horde, beast, co-op and versus. you can tell they've busted their asses to make the game, especially knowing that it was xbox's only big exclusive for the year and Bungie left MS, they had big shoes to fill. I think they've worked the hardest out of all of the shooters besides maybe Rage, cuz i dunno too much about Rage.

Battlefield 3 is decent, but a huge disappointment for me. I thought Bad Company 2 was better in so many ways. they were so focused in trying to make BF3 better than cod, that they forgot to make it better than Bad Company 2. that's all im gonna say.

Rage seems pretty decent, though I've only played a demo for it before. So I dunno if it should have won best shooter.

I've never believed that thing where people say Activision pays people off to get what they want, until today. Spike insults Activision and COD every time their name was mentioned, yet they still got best shooter…

wow.

Also, Battlefield 3 and MW3 are proof that the Military FPS genre is near-dead.

All I want from Epic is more PC love, and an Unreal Tournament that doesn't seem like a half-hearted, semi-stripped down, steroid version of UT2K4.

Yea I don't get it either, but he can be a bit of a dick sometimes. Just because he makes some of the most badass manly games known to man doesn't mean he can just romp around with a golden lancer and bitchslap everyone. I do love me some Epic though, dream job company right there.

he does enjoy his life a bit too much sometimes, i guess people can find that annoying, someone started talking shit about him, about how he's fed up with his tweets, because he posted a pic of his gf.

he only enjoys his life so much, because he went from a complete no-lifer as a kid and grew up to be probably the most recognizable face in the games industry and owning a fuckin ferrari and a good-looking gf that's like 10 years younger than him, lol.

I used to follow award shows just like you…

But then I took an arrow to the knee.

I used to think arrow to the knee jokes were lame….

but then I took a torque bow shot to the knee.

Stfu with that arrow to the knee crap. Bloody hell, it's like a wild-fire that doesn't burn anything, retarded.
