TGA 2025: The Good, the Weird, and the Expected

[TheMinuMaster]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 swept everything.
Leon is going to be the action-heavy part of the next Resident Evil — shocking, I know.
The Street Fighter movie wasn’t a joke after all.
A new Nioh and a new Ace Combat were announced.
The remake of the first Tomb Raider looks more interesting than the new game, which already says a lot.
Sakura Miko didn’t win Content Creator of the Year.
The second season of The Last of Us won Best Adaptation — don’t ask me how, I haven’t seen anyone praising it.
The legendary orchestra flutist is still absolutely incredible.
And Kojima didn’t go on stage or say a word this time.

All in all, it was a decent show. Better than last year’s, at least.

im happy an indie game won instead of more triple a slop

Zero surprises that E33 got so many awards, although deserved. But it would've been equally deserved if Silksong or KCD2 had gotten the GOTY award

Except that it's not an indie game, given that a large group of people worked on it, the director is a nepo baby, and he received funding from various sources, including the government.

The Game Awards are just a joke and a showcase for the video game industry. I don't understand why people take this event seriously as if it were the Oscars.

I don't take the Oscars seriously either, I watch TGA if I have nothing better to do, for the new announcements at the very least, even tho most of it is uninteresting to me

Technically Nioh 3 was announced back in June. I got to play the alpha a few months ago and I'm pretty excited for it.

There wasn't too much new for me this show aside from a new Mega Man and Ace Combat, but I've still got a lot I'm looking forward to.

People actually watch these things?

I honestly just skip it and skim the game reveal's afterwards, it's the only part I really care about. Award shows always just feel like people in the business patting themselves on the back to me.
