I'll give em that the fingers bending backwards when you touch stuff is pretty cool. And the fighting ain't too shabby.

I just read the basic story premise on Wiki:
The protagonist wakes up inside a giant dimension-crossing illithid (mind flayer) flying ship. They are infected with a parasitic tadpole that enthrals and transforms people into illithids; however, the transformation does not happen, and the ship comes under attack from githyanki warriors riding red dragons. The mind flayer crew teleports the ship to the Nine Hells and are attacked by an army of Devils. The protagonist is freed during the fighting and steers the damaged ship to Faerûn, where it crashes. They encounter other survivors of the wreck, all likewise implanted with tadpoles
Seriously???!?

GJ AMIR!!!
-
Amir wins the first ever GAME CHANGER award for helping build an online community for game devs who have been laid off.
They’ve helped 3,000 devs get rehired in the last 3 years.
-
this is a nice adjustment from last year's 'are they avoiding that elephant in the room on purpose or what'
and... jesus, the stream comments on steam...-
-
-
-
in my case i opened the stream in a browser tab instead of in-steam, and it seems to lose the show/hide chat option when i do that :D didn't think to look to somewhere else until later
-
-
-
I've been passing his links and resources on to a few folks I know who'd been dealing with the layoffs and it helped a couple of them find a job.

I think Arcane is the better show in many ways, but I also think Fallout captures the game far better than Arcane does.

So I found last year’s trend was gothic gory very dark games.
This year’s trend seems to be those games reskinned with anime characters and swords?
In all seriousness I haven’t seen one game I want to play yet, but it’s still fun chatting with everyone!
Maybe the Dave The Diver thing? Gotta play the OG first.

I have no idea what the first 6 words in your post even mean haha

The John Vinnochi camera cut was great
-
-
-
37 minutes is my guess. It’s usually about 3.5 hours (half hour pre-show, 3 hour main show).
-
Or if this acceptance speech keeps going, maybe another 2 hours HEYYYOHHH
-
-
-
Best Score and Music Award goes to:
FINAL FANTASY
-
lol hamaguchi barely thanked the composer or sound team. but to be fair if this is their only award its better to thank the whole team
-

Just the number 7 so they can remember what Final Fantasy they are talking about

MAX PAAAAAAYYYYNNNNNEEEEW

Is this Metaphor game good. Seeing it a lot and know nothing about it
-
-
Is it filled with high school drama like persona? I never finished 5(?)
-
-
I was finding it repetitive, I probably quit when it was about to change up eh

I feel an affinity for the lead character! I’ve always gone for non-white bald women for my primary sci-fi game characters whenever I had a choice. But more than that, here’s to ND bringing their best female character to date. All the others had some issues for me, so let’s see what happens this time.

For me,my top are NUeda!!! And NIGHTREIGN is HUGE deal for me. Just go back through my posts since Armored Core 4 Answer came out. All I’ve ever wanted was From to return to full from the ground up co-op. Not single player bosses you can co-op, but unleash their absolutely top tier aggro table design and give us the real deal OG raid style epic battles.
Mark my words, this is probably just a test game for their new IP’s features, building on the scope that was in AC VI that built on the scope of boss battles in ER. Super excited!!!

Capcom went crazy this year. Onimusha and Okami. Monster Hunter money being spent wisely.
-
Also new Okami is only part of how big this announcement is, because Kamiya is back with Capcom again running Nu Clover!!!!!! That means not only the potential for everything ftom a MadWorld revival to a Steel Battalion AR redux and who knows what else! Kamiya era Capcom is best Capcom.
-
All I have in my mind is Kamiya going to Capcom and just going "just put an S on it" https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/020/441/put.jpg

Even the second string games had some mad bomb announcements like new Virtua Fighter??? Project Century??!!??, Dispatch, Screamer, Stage Fright, The First Berserker???!!!!
Plus new Hazelight out in March, new Onimusha, new Turok, new 2D Ninja Gaiden from the Blasphemous guys, Okami, Witcher 4 reveal, ND sci-fi, just crazy!-
feed me everything RGG

Oh no, far from it: http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=42718872

so no HL3 I guess:/

Btw huge props to Keighley for not just giving a speech on industry layoffs, not just platforming someone who helped 3000 people find new industry jobs, not just giving that person a wholeass new award for doing that, but also for not doubling down against last year's backlash for not addressing it at the time.
Everyone seems to double down in a corner, scream about "being cancelled", pull an Elon, but Keighley didn't. Good shit. -
