The Game Awards 2017 Winners and Announcements

the-game-awards-2017-logo-747x309.jpeg

It's that time of the year again!

No, not Christmas or New Year (although those are pretty close too...) but it's time for The Game Awards, the pompous event that recognizes and upholds creative and technical excellence in the global video game industry!

Created in 2014 by media entrepreneur Geoff Keighley, the event has grown to look more and more professional with the years, especially considering the fiasco of its predecessor, VGX (okay, we shouldn't really be talking about that...). The Game Awards is starting to feel like a real celebration of both game creators and game players with its line of renowned guests, grandiose setup and sneak peeks of upcoming games. This year's edition will feature guests ranging from Hideo Kojima, Norman Reedus, Guillermo del Toro (mandatory bromance trio) to performance capture actor Andy Serkis (Gollum, Supreme Leader Snoke) and Rick and Morty's co-creator Justin Roiland!

On top of that the program is broadcast globally, free-of-charge, and can be streamed on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitter and of course, right here on GBAtemp as it starts airing at 1 a.m GMT (Friday):



Oh, and don't forget to vote for your favorite game in different categories right here!

What are you most excited about the event? Will you be tuning in? Share your thoughts below!

Sorry but you have no right to call fanboy to anyone who loves that game.
BOTW is a masterpiece and thats not an opinion, its a fact.
That's funny. I played the game recently and it's just okay. No interesting puzzles, the Divine Beasts rely way too hard on their gimmick rather than any sort of interesting puzzles, so many shrines are repetitive and they all look the same, the world is pretty empty too, mostly just big open fields and mountais from what I saw. Sure sometimes you see monster towers, stables, and ruins but those aren't particularly interesting. The side quests I did were pretty bad too. Go get x amount of y items or go take a picture of x object.
Someone likes a game I don't

"uhhHhHH FaANBOIIII"
They are acting like a fanboy by saying the it's a fact that the game is a "masterpiece". If that's your opinion then whatever, but don't say that it's fact.

From a traditional Zelda fanboy, BotW was utterly lacking in replayability. The weapon system, korok seeds, terrible main dungeons and bosses... The shrines.. The open world lacking in exploration.... Meh.

Even looking at it like an open world game? It's no Elder Scrolls or Witcher. There's truly not enough content to justify the price. It's repetitive and redundant.. Eh. I digress. My opinion. Definitely not a GOTY title.

lmao if BOTW and Odyssey win something it'll be "Nintendo fanboys" and if they don't, it'll be "You see that Nintendo games are inferior after all" so yeah. I'm a Ninty fan but I won't get butthurt if another awesome game that's not made by Nintendo wins. The awards were made to determine what game is the best of the best in each category after all.

Actually, I get called a "Sonic fanboy" when I say Sonic Forces is far from being bad, while I'm not that much of a Sonic fan. All of the games nominated are real candidates for the GOTY title, whether it's made by Big N or another dev.

I personally think the game is a 7.6/10, it's good but not 10/10 good (I played the Wii U version)

I thoroughly enjoyed Odyssey. It took me back to my SM64 days. Some aspects could have been better, but it was all around an enjoyable experience. I'd be okay with it winning GOTY.

I don't really agree with number scores (or a lot of reviews in general, or wannabe critics) because they always fail to give reasons why something is good or bad on a more critical level and often just use buzzwords (like innovative, polished, breath taking, etc).

But yeah, taste is subjective and we all enjoy different things.

I have nothing against it. It just (imo) doesnt bring anything new to the table *and* isnt a traditional zelda. I said fanboys because there are those people who say that a zelda game is a good game even before they played it. And they triumph over every success point of the game while talking shit about the same mistakes when they apear in other games. I dont say its not good, i dont say every fan is a fanboy, what I do say is that there are too many fanboys who lick ninty's ass even when its full of crap... and they will probably force the game to get chosen. Also whats bad about them is that they wont accept other's views... there was a site that got ddos for a low score to zelda. There was more similar crap going on and it still is... i would give q high score to botw but not 9.9 and have nothing against the ppl whi enjoy it, but i think there are games that deserve this award way more but wont get it just because of a gazilion fanboys.

Between the bad spelling and overall terrible attitude.. You're either a bad troll or forgot your meds.
His comment looked like something humorous, so I continued with it. The bad spelling was on purpose. Also never assume on the internet that EVERYBODY have a perfect english similar to somebody who was born in an english talking society

Edit- i quote: "BOTW is a masterpiece and thats not an opinion, its a fact."
