Summary: Given how the night started off with the game awards, I wasnât hopeful for Elden Ring. God Of War was just raking in the wins right from the start and the more they pulled in the more I felt like the momentum of a recent release would carry the game to a sweep – or close to one. That isnât how it actually turned out, however, and the big Game Of The Year award going to Elden Ring seemed, I donât know, fitting. I canât really make a comparison as I havenât played Elden Ring. My only factors of thinking it would take home the big prize was the reach it had and the popularity it gained. Now, I have no clue if those were factors in how it was selected, but that was my criteria, for whatever reason. I wonât complain too much about the awards presentation themselves. My complaints from previous years pretty much still stand. Stop steamrolling through awards. Give the devs (not the publishers) their time for recognition. Cut back on reveals. Oh, and maybe cut back on categories as well. And as a recent addition to the complaints – beef up security. Weâve got one more show left to go before we say goodbye for the year. Join us next week for our Christmas show – whatever that entails. In the meantime, Ubisoft, itâs been 3,392 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released.
