I do agree with you about the slanderous use of celebrities to get people to watch and that the show is ridiculous. I didnt even get to watch it, but I knew it was gonna suck.

However,
WHY let -blam!- STARS host an award show for GAMERS?! It just doesn't make sense! WHY WHY WHY?!

I laughed at that...just think....think for a minute....wait...wait....oh! Yeah, I know you got it.
Still, it is a stupid idea.

Anyways, better post about Halo 2 or this will be locked in 3...2...

Am I the only one who thinks this crap is a waste of time? Carmen Electra...hosting a gaming show.......this is a sign of the apocalypse if I've ever seen one.

G4 is retarded. Half of those shows aren't even for hardcore gamers. Cheat for example is trash. What hardcore gamer cheats?! Even if some hardcore gamer does cheat, WHAT harcore gamer is going to want to write a cheat down on a piece of paper instead of looking it up on the internet or code book?

Players is even worse though...Who the $#@% wants to sit and watch celebreties play their games? The only way you'de catch me enjoying it is if Britany Spears and Cameron Diaz played strip Halo where the loser must discard a piece of clothing. But if this was the case, who the hell would be focusing on the games, so once again, the show would be pointless. I also hate how they interview celebreties who are obviously not gamers, but still do the show because their all a bunch of SELL OUTS. Players was a show made so G4 staff could get closer to celebs. End of story.

Gphoria should have been hosted by somebody like Adem Sessler. He KNOWS games, and he's not just some celebrity doing it because he sells out at any opportunity that comes his way. WHY let -blam!- STARS host an award show for GAMERS?! It just doesn't make sense! WHY WHY WHY?!

This is why half the creators and developers of the games don't show up. It feels nothing like a show for gamers....

Either way, I do look forward to Halo 2, and Gphoria next year will probrably be hosted by Howard Stern for all I know.


Yea on players at the bet awards their was only one guy who said Halo 2 was the game he was most excited about and that halo was his favorite game I think thoes were his words im not exactly sure.

G4 bashing doesnt really have much to do with Halo 2, which is what this forum is for.

Want to know what G4 is? Electronic Arts propaganda.

Not the good kind of propaganda, but the bad, KGB-ish propaganda.

I completely agree with you, man. If you've been around since the beginning of serious gaming, this show is blasphemy.

I totally agree with you that they were way better off with TechTV. Dobber is right though, this will be locked soon.

I say: Go Adam! X-Play rocks the house! Adam and Morgan woul be the best for the G-phoria host jobs, no doubt. It doesn't hurt that they're hella funny either. Adam got to play Halo2, so this discussion should focus more on that if it don't wanna get locked.

Yeah, I know that. I just had to say it. Also, It really pisses me off that celebreties who barely play games get to play the Halo 2 demo before us REAL gamers do <_<

The only show I like on G4 is Screen Savers because practically every show on games they have is directed at a manipulable audience with the attention of a flea.

IMO the spike one sucked too, cept' the stripper wrestling part. #1 reason it sucked:Madden won game of the year.

Screen Savers isn't G4, it's Tech TV. X-Play was also on TechTV before the merge, and that's actually good. Damn G-Phoria in X-Play's time slot!

It pisses me off too. And its even worse because Bungie agreed to it also.

I only like Icons and rarely Arena but G4 other than that is craptacular. It's a travesty, it's a shamockery it's a traveshamockery of video games.

The ONLY celebrity I beleive earned a spot to host an award show for gamers is Vin Disel, only because he made a decent game and seems to really know games. Still, I would feel better off with a guy like Adam Sessler hosting it.

They didn't even say anything about Halo 2 (there ya' go Dobber) except that they enjoyed the multiplayer. Well...WOW! Thanks for that AMAZING update! -blam!- idiots. As for the Carmen Electra crap, definatly, just trying to get attention. Look at the rest of their line-up? Anna Nicole Smith, Jenna Jameson, Kelly Hu, the list goes on. I hate G4 TV (if you wacth some of their shows, it's laughable). Don't get me wrong, if I could, I would watch it a lot, but it is still the stupidest thing ever. For instance: Best RPG of 2004: FF X-2 (overrated only because it's FF), FF XI (overrated only because it's FF), Deus Ex2 (RPG?), KotOR (only decent RPG yet), Champs of Norrath: Everquest (overrated only because it's Everquest). I hate to break it to G4, but Everquest and Final Fantasy games BLOW! *sigh* I wish they payed more attention to the only real game there (that's Halo 2 incase you're just joining us).
