This man was one of the TGA jury members...

I'm actually okay with Dragon Age winning. Fantastic game and around the same quality tier of Bayo 2 in their respective genres from what I've played so far of DA:I. So good call and I'm glad it wasn't SoM which was frankly, boring.

But this shit... this is manbaby, forum fanboy level of stupidity. And after all the effort and personal sweat and blood Jeff poured into this award ceremony to redeem himself from the Doritos pope nonsense, this is the type of idiots he picks to represent the gaming community?

Now that I think about it, it does represent the gaming community quite well though...sadly

That guy needs to realise it's only an opinion. Obviously a lot of people like B2, and it will win GOTY on some websites. It's well worthy of the title.

Yeah, don't let him vote next year.

Yeah, aren't jury members supposed to be more neutral than this?

EPIC DAMAGE CONTROL IN FULL EFFECT

loool

Talk about going DSP level of damage control here.

EX: Showing his true colors on Nintendo and Hideo Kojima, but try to deny them all the same.

"I get that some of you like it and that it was widely received as an amazing game. Its just that I would feel compelled to leave the jury if it won GOTY because I didn't like it as much"

Jurnalizm logic

Mandatory IQ tests for future jury members please.

Why is an idiot one of the jury members, how ridiculous! It's like putting a Nintendo fan boy nerd on the panel, of course he'd always vote for anything on Nintendo. So so dumb, way to discredit the judging system dummies.

are you sheep still crying over your defeat? dear lord...

look guys... beyonetta was a shit game alright? the TGAs recognized that.. and gave the award to dragon age, a more deserving game, one who doesn't just solely rely on boobs to tell a story. simple as that.

its time to move on now...

It's his opinion, he didn't state why he didn't like it.

If he had said that about a CoD game that would have been fine because it's the cool thing to do. From the looks of the game I bet I wouldn't like it that much either, so what?

VGA's about advertizing shit. If you take it as legit; you are fucking stupid.

Fact.

We're not crying over any defeat. DA: I winning came to no surprise. It's just that this guy is being a complete ass about it when he shouldn't.

Likely related to, sleeping with or paying at least one of the organisers, that's how most idiots rise to the surface.

If he didn't like the game, fine! Not everything appeals to everybody! But saying he would have quit if the game won instead of Dragon Age? Sorry, but no.

No it wouldn't be fine if he said that about COD either. If you don't see the issue of a jury member going on Twitter to publicly joking (or not) about quitting if "Nominee B" wins instead of "Nominee A", then I don't know what to tell you. Its childish, stupid, unprofessional and the exact opposite of what the TGA crew was trying to achieve by closing the gap between gamers and industry in an attempt to distance itself from the toxic, piss poor image gameshows and gaming journalism have.

Nothing screams like "for gamers, by gamers" than a panel of handpicked journos with this level of integrity, acting as our spokespeople amirite?

Advanced Warfare is actually a very fun game btw. Bought it full price.

Yeah, that dude is butt hurt over Bayo 2 being awesome.

At least Shovel Knight won best indie. Shovel Knight is cool.

why is it so weird, is a matter of taste, of course i can see you trying to damage control but bayo is either love it or hate it, some friends really REALLY hate the game and over the top main character.

what a piece of shit that guy is.

Fucking hate social justice warriors.

ok, but only if you walk through those doors first m9.

its time to move on...

Erm... pretty sure he was joking.

You expected that jury of 20 to actually be professionals? lol

why is that damage control? does he have to like it? he is being nice, i would tell them to gtfo i can like what i want.

Embarrassing. He needs to be removed from voting next year. This was supposed to be the legitimate Game Awards, and not the VGX awards. Stuff like this just shows that its the same garbage but with a different skin.

Woah now, he isn't necessarily an SJW or whatever.

To be honest the whole awards thing is lame to begin with, it was not explained during the event how games were picked and judged. Just read off a list of games and hand out an award, would have been nice to have some of the judges say why one games was more worthy than another or why some games were not even picked to be judged in the first place.

Well **** him then.

yeah **** that guy, beyonetta is the SHIT!

greatest game of all times.

@Gue1: He's a piece of shit for not liking the game/having an opinion? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh System Wars is great.

Man, **** you, how can you not like Taco Bell?

I actually tried Del Taco and liked it, although I vastly prefer real mexican food.

Wait, having an opinion on a game is a bad thing now?

Apparently a great number of those judges were apart of that gamejourno pros email list gamergate dug up a few months back. It's no surprise that they would pull this shit

I'm all for people having there opinions but it seems stupid for a judge to post something like that after an awards show (if he voted).

lol gaming journalism.

Golden rule for anyone working as a judge: be impartial no matter what your personal feelings are

This guy coming out and saying that makes anyone think he threatened Geoff and the other judges if Dragon Age didn't win

Now if we are about "opinions" he could have just left it as "I'm glad Dragon Age won" and that's it, no need to imply corruption within the Game Awards judges (wich wouldn't surprise me)

Surprised a judge pretty much forgot the first rule in judging. Impartiality, even if not really possible in reality is still very important in social media. Just keep it to yourself. Things tend to work out better that way.

He is part of a jury ffs. Do I really need to explain why that comment is absolutely inappropriate and disrespectful to developers of the nominated games considering the position and influence he was given in the GOTY award?

"buh its his opinion" - yeah and he should have kept it to himself. And rethink his job while he is at it, because if a certain game winning gets that reaction out of him then he should be doing something else maybe.

i dont know for sure but the quit my job part sounds like a joke to me, sadly this world is filled with people that gets butthurt over nothing

lol sheep are so sensitive

And this kind of thinking is why the standards of professionalism and integrity from press members are in the craphole. There is no accountability for anything and the shittiest of practices is almost guaranteed to have a defense force.

Keep aiming low and asking for less. I'm sure it will benefit you, somehow.

I wonder if twitter has the same effect on the brain's inhibition centers as senility.

Because better options for mexican food exists?

This bothered you so much that you needed to make a thread about it?

Lol.

Right on man, it's like people going to McDonalds when for the same price or a couple of bucks more you can hit up a respectable burger joint.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I can no longer process Taco Bell and feel like a functioning human being afterwards. I ate there a couple of months back for the first time in years because the family invited me. ****, big mistake.

In awesome news, I love some Mexican food and some really nice places have been springing up like crazy in my area lately. Went to one of them 2 nights back, Fajitas were about 8/10, pretty respectable. Queso servings were massive, tasty and cheap. Chick I was with got a bad ass shredded steak Chimichanga.

The one I went to tonight though, my god. Best damn Chili Colorado I've ever had, by far. Plate was massive too. I never leave food on my plate, but I struggled on this one.... Chick I was with tonight got a Chimichanga too, guess that's the new thing lol.

And now I realize I'm rambling about food. Sorry bout that, I just love the stuff haha. I think every meal should be one worth eating, not just a necessary calorie intake.

Right? fast food has only ever existed for two reasons

A: the struggle is that fucking real for hunger, and shit what's the worst that can happen? you'll be full and not hungry

B: you're drunk, and fast food is FUCKING AMAZING when drunk

Jack in The Box Forever the goat drunk fast food.

Also yo not even frontin, at some point after turning a quarter of century old (25) your body decides to be like...really..that? because junk food became way less easy to handle, going out on a bender and working on 3 hours of sleep? ugh why? College days though....god the drinking and eating was wreckless lol

@jg4xchamp:

Yeah, pretty much. My drinking days are behind me and with that, so are Taco Bell, White Castle, Krystals, Jack in the Box... pretty much the only fast food I'll still **** with is Chic Fil A, or occasionally some Wendys spicy chicken sandwiches.

And yeah, the struggle. I do remember when $1 double cheeseburgers at McDonalds got me by. Glad those days are behind me too.

yeah every now and then "meh I can go for a fucking mcchicken", but otherwise nah that stuff is too gross at this point. Chic Fil A though, oh my god, I would kill for one of those in New York, do not even care about their hateful ass ways. Would gladly walk in that bitch "Boooo you homephobic assholes BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...hi can I get a #3 no tomatoes with a lemonade?"

@jg4xchamp:

Damn, no Chic Fil A up there? That sucks. Then again, it's not like you're struggling for good food options in New York.

I got breakfast there the past couple of days, damn good chicken biscuits... I just hate how every employee there is forced to say 'my pleasure' every time you say thanks. I feel for them, especially when some dude has to tell me that shit with a straight face.

And yeah they're homophobes, but being in north Alabama these past couple of years I've gotten used to it.
