Hmmm…the categorizations are a bit weird but good for them. Seems a bit AAA heavy. But then they usually are.

Dragons Dogma under best fighting game and Baldurs Gate 3 omitted from best rpg…oh well

The fact that FFVII Rebirth didn't win anything is a travesty

Baldurs Gate cleaned up last year mate, and DD is under best RPG......

Best thing we have these days and it seems only Geoff can get or really cares about it (E3 was already going massively down hill).

Also nice to see what's going on in the industry being addressed. Hollywood should take note, and well played to the guy who is trying to help everyone.

Meant to say only Geoff can get the scoops

Yeah Geoff pulled some strings.. I mean we did get some very early announcements, the Witcher 4 looks years away


Best show theyve done by a mile. Gave speakers the tie they needed, addressed key issues in the industry. Loved the game changer award to the guy who managed to get 3000 Devs back in to work and didn't charge a penny.

I thought the nominations were pretty awful tbh.

Like what? Apart from a few titles wouldn't say there was that much stand out this year. And those few stand out titles seem pretty well represented

I agree, TGA often get criticised for not having more non AAA titles nominated for GOTY, I felt the nominees were quite deserving too.
