I love the fact no one questions Balatro's spot on game of the year nominees. A small game made by a single developer previously unknown, yet so good that Wukong is the underdog on the list.
@@amezzeray2 To be honest, I didn't play it either. I will get there at one point. Thing is, I can't say the game is bad because 1: I didn't play it yet. 2: if the game was nominated to quite a few awards than it's a clear indication that the game is really good and I'm missing out. Add the fact I heard barely to any negative review and only heard of Wukong's shortcomings than Balatro is doing something really special.
I feel like a proud parent seeing Balatro up there. I discovered it through the demo on PS+ and immediately bought it, lost many hours. I didnt expect it do win GOTY but im so happy it had its moments in the spotlight.
Massive props to every game that got nominated. It was definitely a close race. Balatro was the developers first ever game, Wukong was the players choice winner, and Erdtree was such a good dlc it was nominated for goty. I just wish there was more spots for nominees, like helldivers, nine sols, zenless, and many more. But this year was excellent and i cant wait for next year.
beyond all the drama, you said it best my friend. i beat all 6 nominees, and all are very good game. most played game this year was balatro, but i wanted astro bot to win. i dont get the drama :(
This would be so cool to experience IRL. The VGA orchestra does a phenomenal job combining all of the songs together. They're all so talented, especially flute guy. That guy can play two instruments at the same time. Oh yeah and also, *ASTRO BOT SWEEP!!*
Elden ring: Shadow of the erdtree didnt get a single cheer, which is understandable since its a DLC and ppl are mad over it. Its still the best thing ive played this year
Well, they would have to for the camera angles. There is still the screen for the audience to view it on and that might be better to look at in some cases quite honestly. They might be getting in the way but it seems like it necessary so that they can get the camera angles.
People know what they're getting into when they go to see a filmed production. You just accept that the TV audience is their primary concern and you're there to be part of it.
I wish they’d used one of Uematsus themes for rebirth rather than the modern forgettable orchestra stuff they added. That game had the best soundtrack but was easily the weakest sample here.
@Lanaur No it’s not. It takes some of the main theme for sure but it’s a new orchestral piece based on it, like I said forgettable. That was the main problem with rebirth, everything they changed or added wasn’t as good quality as what was already there.
@@jaybee4288 Well, if we are talking about pure sound quality, it is way better than before. Now if you prefer the old style, I can't argue as I'm a bit of the same opinion. Real instruments don't always have the charm that synthetic instruments can have sometimes. But this is the TGA orchestra here, they have to go with an orchestral arrangement. Astrobot or Ballatro aren't originally orchestral either (though they did sound awesome, to me). So it is a Uematsu theme, just a different arrangement of it
All games running for game of the year were nominated for a reason! They were all great! Doesn’t matter who wins or not, as long as you enjoyed the game to the fullest!
Personally, Astro Bot was my game of the year, but I think Wukong deserved it just as much. On the bright side, it took home Players’ Voice, which I think is the most important award due to it being 100% fan-voted.
@@JPP123 How much did tickets cost for your seat?? Also, where you able to spot yourself on the broadcast. Or maybe spot anyone that you wanted to see other than on the big screen??

I am Astrobot is such a jam
@@jaybee4288Right? I can't get it out of my head!
Orchestal Balatro theme is absolutely criminally good. Someone should totally get a full rendition made of it
orchestras are one of the coolest things on this planet ngl
The orchestra was actually so fire
Always the highlight
The little cheer for Balatro 🥹
I love this POV, as it allows you to virw the footage on the large display, which you only get glimpses of during the show

And the few who did were peeps who never tried it, and when they did, they were like "oh... I get it" 😂

Balatro, Astro Bot, and Black Myth: Wukong were the catchiest. Best trasitions were Balatro to Astro Bot and Astro Bot to Black Myth: Wukong.
Completely agree 👍🏼
Yeah that whole section was lit
Metaphor was the catchiest
QE
CONGRATULATIONS TO ASTRO BOT FOR WINNING GOTY!! 🔥🔥🙌 also the Balatro theme went so hardddddd 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the synth sound in the BALATRO theme
@@Clov_lov sameee

Hours not lost, but wisely spent
@WoobyMe 🙏
I always loved orchestra they are really special to me :) I'm glad everyone is appreciating this beautiful orchestra
Wukong is FIRE🔥
the Astro bot theme is so cute, the sound of the bot is also cute.

Completely agree except zenless. I feel like no game that has a gacha system should be nominated ngl.
@j7jhj I was just listing games off.
@@sourpatchkid0232 fair
people sleeping on how well they cooked with metaphors battle theme
Was the second weakest track there.
@@jaybee4288 was mainly weak with the lack of vocals
honestly it is the closest one to the original here, which i like a lot! the balatro theme was a BIG upgrade though
I wish they do the awesome male vocals here, like how they did in 2019
1:09 this is the best time ever
Hell yeah 🔥😮💨
Feels like a mind game movie music, awesome!
This would be so cool to experience IRL. The VGA orchestra does a phenomenal job combining all of the songs together. They're all so talented, especially flute guy. That guy can play two instruments at the same time. Oh yeah and also, *ASTRO BOT SWEEP!!*
They have a camera specifically for flute guy. Our guy!
Man the battle theme of Metaphor is so freaking good. The orchestra just keeps getting better since 2022.
I like how everyone talks about the flute guy but no-one talks about he drum guy and the precussion guy
Wukong's theme gets the blood pumpin'!!!! It's so epic
I CAN FEEL THE POWER!
Flute guy is insane
Full view of flute guy
In 2024 poker game, family game,2D game nominated to be GOTY 2024 nice time to back 2000s only money can changed result
Balatro sounds so epic tfff
I’m still pinching myself after Astro Bot’s win!
It was too surprising. It was just a little uncertain if it would truly win it all.
Do you have a reaction for arcane music?
@@cv3471 yes I do! It’s posted already!
I am Astrobot.
1head
Elden ring: Shadow of the erdtree didnt get a single cheer, which is understandable since its a DLC and ppl are mad over it. Its still the best thing ive played this year
can't wait for next year's TGA fr i hope big and great games get released and not sloppy games lmao
BALATRO IS RAD AS FUCK
It bugs me to no end that the camera operators just walk up in the middle of the medley to film the orchestra, like that’s so distracting
Well, they would have to for the camera angles. There is still the screen for the audience to view it on and that might be better to look at in some cases quite honestly. They might be getting in the way but it seems like it necessary so that they can get the camera angles.

2:06 are they booing or cheering ?
Cheering! How can you boo at Wukong??? It’s a great game! 🔥
Less confusing if you think about it, most of the devs or fans are either nerds/vert type
I wish they’d used one of Uematsus themes for rebirth rather than the modern forgettable orchestra stuff they added. That game had the best soundtrack but was easily the weakest sample here.
That's the main theme of the OG, the one you hear on the world map, just reorchestrated here (like the others)
It's a Uematsu theme
i wished they used Celestial Symphony for wukong as well
@Lanaur No it’s not. It takes some of the main theme for sure but it’s a new orchestral piece based on it, like I said forgettable. That was the main problem with rebirth, everything they changed or added wasn’t as good quality as what was already there.

It sounds like a different track.
Black myth wukong robbed😢
It got Action Game and Players Voice, let's just be happy all the nominees won something except the DLC that shouldn't have been nominated
@@RJH755 that's true
