Yesterday was VGX 2013, formerly known as VGA, the annual video game award show organized by Spike TV. Hosted by the Dorito Pope himself and a dude named Joel McHale who spent the entire evening trolling, this year's show promised to "abandon the traditional Hollywood style award show to feature more world premiere game trailers than ever before, plus extended deep dives into the next generation of games, new looks at gaming culture, one-on-one interviews with the industry's most visionary creatives and expert panels digging into what's coming to consoles in 2014 and beyond". Well, there was some of that, but as far as RPGs go, all we got were two trailers.

First, a new trailer for South Park: The Stick of Truth, the game about farting.



Second, one of the Codex's favorite conversation topics, a new The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt trailer, featuring the King of the titular Hunt doing his best Sauron impression.


And that's it. No interviews with anybody from Obsidian or CD Projekt, although South Park's Matt Stone and Trey Parker did show up for two minutes...to announce the Game of the Year award.
