But that was not a new announcement, so it doesn’t count.Įvery time I watch The Game Awards there’s always an announcement or two that makes my soul evaporate from my body. Granted, it was not as bad as when, in the same show, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League ghoulishly marketed itself as having Kevin Conroy’s last performance as Batman. It all feels ripped straight out of bad big games from fifteen years ago. And sad that a barely-was, no talent musician and the world’s second most obnoxious mealy-mouthed, sanctimonious action star are put on their level. Watching the trailer, reading the cast list it makes me feel sad that some of these people have sunk to the point where they can be in something this ugly. But it’s not beneath their co-stars Vanilla Ice and Chuck Norris, who appear to be playing long-outdated memes of themselves. I’ll never feel bad for Danny Trejo taking a role since that wonderful man loves acting way more than I’ve ever loved anything, but Kim Basinger? Danny Glover? Damion Poitier? This is beneath all of you. What really cemented it in my mind was the game’s selling point: a big name cast filled with has-beens, jokes, and also people I really like who deserve so much better than this. An ugly, boring, joyless looking crime stealth shooter? That’s bad but borning on its own. So this isn’t, technically, “out.” And it is, technically, “new.” And it could be, technically, “good.” But few Game Awards announcements were as depressing and unappetizing as the one for Crime Boss: Rockay City last December. This is the real content we miss out on now that E3 is dead. Everything from the awkward pauses, stunted delivery and technical issues is a treasure trove of horrifying awful cringe that I can’t help but laugh at. But the leader of E3 Cringe has to go to the 2010 Konami Conference. The Peggle 2 guy, Miyamoto’s demonstration of Wii Music and Project Giant Robot ( “please clap” ), and everything about Mr. I’ve been watching E3 for a while and there are some absolute classic cringe moments from throughout the years.
