Nooooo.... Bungie totally should won. I'm still hoping for either Black Ops or Reach to win.

Holy cow, these VGAs are TERRIBLE! And I'm not talking about the awards. The writers should be fired. And the general flow and choices for what trailers to show, how to set them up, etc. Its all AWFUL. Oh, and on top of that the fact that either the nominee I like hasn't won, or some out of the blue nominee won. Neal Patrick Harris as Best Voice Actor? Every other nominee was better, and I like NPH as an actor.

I wouldn't be watching this if it wasn't for premier trailers.

I've read on the Black Ops facebook page that it won the Best Shooter of the Year award (which I wasn't surprised). I'm still waiting to hear from Bungie.

And was there any word about SWBF3?

Lucas Arts was a no-show with anything, and I'm very happy that Red Dead got game of the year. However I was a bit peeved that Red Dead's John Marston was beat out by the lifeless Sgt. Woods from Black Ops in the Best Character award. Marston was just so much more than Woods... But at least Black Ops didn't take Game of the Year from Red Dead.

Sooooo... I liked the part where they didn't mention half of the awards. These awards sucked so much, holy crap. :|
EDIT: Wait, forgot about the ME3 trailer, the VGAs weren't a total drag this year.

Wait, so LucasArts showed nothing new at the event?

Wow, these awards, what a joke. RDR shouldn't have won anything due to the massive contradictions in gameplay and narrative. You can't make me believe John Marston is a sobbing changed man after I hogtie some townspeople to traintracks. The gameplay and story are a massive contradicion, that couldve easily been fixed by making Marston a conflicted man, who wants to settle down but still feels older urges.

Sgt. Woods? WHO???? How about Ethan Mars or Norman?

Best Soundtrack.... Just wow. I get that it's a music game, but maybe include a game that doesn't NEED a soundtrack to play but does it beautifully anyways? SMG2 or Halo: reach would be miles better.

Best shooter? Black Ops, while innovative in customization, didn't offer nearly as much as a shooter as Reach did.

And these are just the GAME problems. The show itself was embarassing.

Actually that's why there were two different categories. Best soundtrack was for music genre games. Best original score was for the games like Halo, and Mario Galaxy.

ME2 won 2 awards, it didn't deserve any...

I'm happy how well RDR and Black Ops did, but Reach should have gotten a couple more awards.

I wasn't that disappointed cuz I didn't know anything about LA going to announce anything about BF3 until it was like over so I didn't get my hopes crushed... not entirely, that is.

I was absolutely stunned that LucasArts didn't show, basically, ANYTHING at VGA!

Besides a comment on Youtube about the guy posting getting fired from Sparks Unlimited and talking about SWBF3 coming out Spring 2011, thats about all I have to stand on about SWBF3...

50.00 says it'll be at least a year before you hear anything at all about SWBF3.

It is your opinion. Dont forget that if you dont like something it is not automatically bad. I see how hordes of people are excited about Black Ops or Medal of Honor while in my opinion both games arent worth my time and money. I dont mean they are bad, I just mean that I dont like them at all.
My personal favorites of 2010 are Mass Effect 2, ArmA II - Operation Arrowhead and StarCraft 2.

You're right, I should have used "a mon avi" (in my opinion).

I looked at the Yahoo game awards and those are pretty good. Black Ops didn't win anything lol

You're probably right, I haven't been forced to write any french in ages.

And BFBC2 had just come out, then Black Ops, I mean, a third modern FPS had no chance. Then there was Halo as yet another FPS. MoH got trashed by critics so I didn't even bother to buy it.
