Hoooah! I watched it. No steam deck winner here.
Maybe Next year with the Steam Deck 2 :D
Can't wait for Death Stranding 2. I really enjoyed the first one and
think its a masterpiece. Really looking forward to see what Kojima does next.
There was another game trailer in there that looked really interesting
to me: Replaced. I love the pixel-ish art style they did with that. The colors and shading and all that looked great.
Overall it seemed better than previous years. It felt a bit more like a real awards show. It has inched in that direction every year but this
year it felt like a little more polished somehow. Make no mistake
though, the Game Awards exists soley so Geoff Keighley can exploit the industry and sell ad space. Its really a couple of hours of trailers
with some typical awards in between, and some other bad awards also
(Final Fantasy XIV won for best Discord community? Like.. what is that? And there was "Most anticipated game"? Who comes up with this stuff?)
The awards themselves are often judged poorly because the media for this industry that votes on it is terrible - Last of Us 2 had no business basically sweeping the awards a couple years ago for example with the competition it had.
That aside, there were some good trailers in there and it looks like
2023 will have some exciting games coming. Final Fantasy XVI is going to be big and Judas looked really nice as well. Probably more I'm
forgetting.

Yeah the awards were a bit strange towards the end. As long as they are constant. The same awards last yet to the next and so on. I've never watched on but the free steam deck thing got me to tune in. I already have 3 of them but Would like to get one to give to my brother.
Judas did look good. I know it was like a super long commercial but I tuned in for the free deck and stayed because of the trailers. Learned about a few games to watch for and Guess Boulders Gate 3 is already available in early access. I will have to check that out.
Well thanks for commenting I was starting to think my posts weren't making out.
