Am 07.12.2018 fand die Verleihung der Game Awards 2018 statt. Die Veranstaltung konnte in Deutschland live mitverfolgt werden. Manch eine Freundin der Nacht hatte Lust dazu, genau dies zu machen, um hier direkt davon zu berichten und die Sieger in den einzelnen Kategorien mitzuteilen. Also: Bierchen rein und los geht's! 🤘

Highlights[]
Was sagt ihr zu den Ergebnissen und den Ereignissen der Awards? Ich als großer Detroit: Become Human-Fan bin natürlich etwas enttäuscht, dass dieses (wie ich finde) grandiose Meisterwerk der Videospielkunst in keiner der drei Kategorien, in denen es nominiert war, gewonnen hat. Als absolute Dragon Age-Jüngerin hingegen bin ich regelrecht vom Sofa gesprungen als Dragon Age 4 unter dem #TheDreadWolfRises angeteasert wurde! Zu hören war dabei ein düsteres "I suspect you have questions...", also der Satz, den unser elfischer Begleiter aus Dragon Age: Inquisition - Solas - der sich am Ende als Schreckenswolf entpuppt, in dem DLC "Eindringling" zu unseren Inquisitoren sagte. Die Stimme war wesentlich dunkler als die Originalstimme von Solas, was auf diverse Metamorphosen hindeuten könnte. Ich bin gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen! Weitere News zu Dragon Age findet ihr im Dragon Age Wiki.
Mein Schock-Moment des Abends: War das Joseph Seed im Far Cry-Trailer??? Ja, oder? In Anbetracht des Endes von Far Cry 5 wäre es nur logisch, Seed noch einmal auftreten zu lassen. Mich würde es freuen.
Mein Nerv-Moment des Abends: Ich musste zwischendurch dann doch mal den Stream wechseln, weil die Raketenbohnen dermaßen viel und laut dazwischen gequatscht haben, dass man einiges verpassen konnte.
Eine tolle "BTW-Message" hatte dann noch Christopher Judge (Kratos) für die Zuschauer. Er trug ein LGBT*Shirt mit 🌈 und bezog somit klar Stellung. Schön! 👍 In diesem Zusammenhang konnte ich mich ebenfalls sehr über den Gewinner der Kategorie BEST ESPORTS PLAYER, SonicFox, erfreuen: "I'm black, I'm gay and I'm the best esports player in the world!".
Es gab noch viele interessante Ankündigungen, doch nun möchte ich wissen: Was waren eure Highlights der Game Awards?
