    I did find it distasteful that several award winners were all but shooed off stage, and two Marvel actors had several minutes to talk about frick all.
    The gaming industry is already the biggest entertainment medium in the world, it doesn't need any star power to draw more eyes to the show.

          hell I even voted FOR gay marriage. it was a mistake. honestly the le nahdzeees as obnoxious as they are with their elitism attitudes are infinitely less fatiguing than the blue haired circus freak troony homosexuals of today. RuPaul used to be an oddity before being another homosexual egg in the homosexual egg basket. honestly if you showed me something in the past to peer into the future I would be astounded that the slippery slope effect is absolutely real, and that I was not only moronic, but wrong about everyone being a normal person simply wanting to live, and enjoy rights and liberties, instead everything has to be a homosexual circus.

              wrong Black person you could have said that in like 2005-2012, and I would have almost 100% agreed with you. they are an issue now because they bother EVERYONE. here's a great example. the San Francisco gay men's choir released a full music video singing about grooming, and converting kids with the chorus literally being "We're coming for your kids". 20% of the men in the San Francisco gay men's choir are REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS.
              here is the fricking video

              this is but just a single instance/example of what I am talking about, and how it went from "well I don't want to be a bigot I agree everyone should get married" to after seeing this FOR A WHILE THIS VIDEO IS OLD makes me feel like these people don't actually deserve rights, and it's far too common that it's gay men, and men who believe that they are women that commit towards these insane acts. It absolutely effects because there is an attempt to normalize they people, and they are not normal, nor people I'd want around me.

              That is a big reason I didn't follow conservative politics. It felt like back then conservatives addressed 0 issues, and at the same time were trying to act like TV Evangelist. It's a completely different dystopic hellscape now, and there are more republicans that I can relate to than I could 20 years ago.

            Yeah. I think he was making a point about how turn based is easier to sell to a large audience.

            And he's right. Any moron can get into turn-based games because those basically have a similar barrier to entry as board games. You only ever have to consider one turn at a time to play them. With RTwP you consider you have to consider your entire party and the enemy units at the same time. Even with the ability to pause people get overwhelmed if they are expected to make that many decisions at once.

            Another issue is that the gameplay to the average person just looks like Starcraft. Real time strategy games aren't that popular to begin with.

                Ah yes, the average player when looking at a gameplay video of a videogame is thinking to themselves "I really don't like it when those animations have to finish" instead of just being put off by the fact that the game looks like a micromanagement nightmare.

      No studio wants to show their games mid development unless they can make them look good, which would defeat the purpose of what you're proposing. Plenty of games still get shit on for pre release stuff that they fixed before they came out.

        Well ideally developers wouldn't even tease, let alone announce, a game unless it's a year or less from release. So a game present at the summer event would be basically done in december and maybe only requires some bug fixing and optimization which wouldn't take more than a couple months.

    also, literally every single type of award show (music, movies, etc) has the same time limit as well but people are acting as if the game awards are the only one who does this.

    No one actually gives a frick about the developers or their speeches. The Hollywood shit and skits can leave but people even tune in at all for the announcements. So shitting on the announcements having a focus doesn't make any sense. This year was actually watchable. Last year's game awards and this year's summer game fest were trash fires and Geoff actually let them talk those times. If you actually remember summer game fest each dev all started rambling about nothing for 10 minutes while anyone watching just wanted another fricking trailer.

    And yet who would listen to the maker of the dullest RPG of all time? Each attempt Obsidian makes to create their own universe rather than simply deconstruct a setting made by others, has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the outdated gameplay and lifeless cities, Pillars of Eternity's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of combat mechanics, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

    Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original; he made sure the game would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable nostalgia pandering to ageing Baldur's Gate fans. Pillars of Eternity might be anti-casual(or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Divinity series in its refusal of spontaneity, fun and excitement.

    >a-at least the writing was good though

    "No!"

    The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time I engaged in dialogue with an NPC the game presented me with a Wiki-page style infodump instead of anything resembling actual human conversation.

    I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sawyer's mind is so governed by obsession with pointless minutiae of the lore that he has no other style of writing.

    Later I read a lavish, loving review of Pillars of Eternity by the same David Gaider. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kiddies are playing Obsidian games at 17 or 18, then when they get older they will go on to enjoy Dragon Age II." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
