It's called game of the year, not the best game to win to make the market change of the year. But I'm very impressed about your point. it's a good point
Great video, it’s kinda sad to see how people don’t think about the reasons why a game they never played won. Instead they’re quick to say that the show is rigged. Emotions instead of logic and reason talking.
It IS rigged. Its just that people do not know that. Because people assume that game of the year is decided by public vote, Which it is really not. public votes count 10% while the jury votes count 90% So a biased jury (and it is biased - because we are talking about something where your personal likings affect your vote a lot - and like you said yourself "a game they never played" - im convinced a lot of the jury did not play black myth wukong, because its not an easy game by any margin), will easily tilt the votes into a direction that is not aligned with the public votes. Because if it were public vote only, then astro bot wouldnt even stand a chance by the sheer playerbase difference. it sold 1.5mil times Wukong sold 14 times that nearly. while having the biggest concurrent player number in history. So yes - for people who thought their vote mattered in the decision of Game of the year -> it DOES indeed seem rigged - because it is rigged against the public vote.
Astrobot its a fun game sure, appeal to every type of audience yes, but its simply just a Tech Demo aka an Ad, at best as it could be i dont think it should beat the likes of Wukong, Metaphor or Rebirth imo..
I assume you have not played astrobot. It's a full interactive experience that puts a smile on your face and rivals Nintendo platformers which no other studio game has done for years.
It is not that black myth wukong is bad or anything , but it only appeals to a set number of audience while astro bot appeals to a wider margin of audience.More young people like children would much rather prefer to play games like astro bot .while black myth wukong (not bad in any means ) doesn't appeal to young and has a more mature theme and that's why I feel like astro bot won game of the year and the impact of astro bot as huge it was playstation's 30 years of work in a single game.
This is exactly the point I’m trying to make in the video! It’s more about the fact that astrobot is easy to pick up and play for many unlike black myth wukong, a 12 year old is not gonna sit through that game tbh
Because the game of the year awards came out in 2015, and I guarantee it was just a way to get the Witcher 3 more popular because it won the first game awards ever, if it was made back in the day like 2008 guaranteed a title like super Mario galaxy would win
@@Johnny_Salamii ok i got it last question in 22 there's a game cat game we now not all people can play elden ring So why did win it? Why ? The cat game that everyone can play.
i think some people only use that as an excuse to hate on Astro Bot. Back when Last of Us 2 won Goty no one complained even at that time it also was only PS esclusive. Same with Breath of the wild, no one complained about that one.
Wukong is a good game with amazing bosses and awful in-between section, with god awful level design. Astro Bot is a masterpiece, the debate is this simple. If there is a game than can be mad about not winning is Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, not even getting a nomination for goty and not winning best writing is typical The Game Awards disgracefulness
I'm Chinese and I can read Chinese perfectly to understand its deeper meaning. There I say it those western media articles deliberately cherrypicked few lines from a long ass post from Fengji as their title, ie. "Came all the way here for freaking nothing", "wrote the acceptance speech 2 years ago", to attract eyeballs. And of course many folks don't have an attention span more than 5 seconds and didn't bother reading the whole thing, taking that the main idea of the post being a rant and Fengji is a sore loser. While on the contrary he, while being a bit upset, is being self-mockery and showing gratitude to the fans. Chinese to English translation, no, basically any translation, can lose some nuances especially in tone and cultural difference in expressions. A post that is overwhelmingly received in China as Fengji being humble and having a big heart through translation getting depicted as a sore loser is just kinda pathetic...
I'm glad Astro bot won, but I'm also glad Wukong won players choice and Metaphor won 3 Awards. Honestly was the best Game awards we had so far in my opinion.
like robbing Infinite Wealth of best narrative? Not only for the incredible game itself but as a sort of career award for Yakuza that has always been hated by the Game Awards committee
@@therealrouges2341 that part I was unaware of but maybe it’s because Yakuza is such a niche franchise, many people don’t really understand its greatness
The GOTY is the game you enjoyed the most during the year. Who cares which game wins? Just have fun!! And you do made some valid points. I didnt even know about the award.
Thats one of the weakest arguments out there. What about Breath of the wild? what about The last of us 2. Thsoe two were also console only for 1 console only and no one complained.
Isn't Sony the one who owns most of the best developers already and paying mostly for timed exclusivity? Microsoft was the one who's buying studios left and right until it backfired and they said they're good with multiplatfrorm and recently back to exclusivity.
Astro bot is a a PlayStation exclusive. Xbox and PC cannot play this game. It’s really just a Ad. That doesn’t make sense for a single console exclusive to win the title Game Of The Year. It’s a PlayStation version of Mario Galaxy. Wukong is accessible to PS5 and PC. Not an exclusive. (Xbox cannot run Wukong due to how the Xbox uses its 16 gigabyte ram). So there’s no argument to make about Wukong being one sided. But there is to Astro Bot Wukong brought an entire new feel to the dark souls genre. It’s not bullshit to put it frank. The dark souls genre to me is slow, the combat is slow and just a sudden explosion of your character taking damage. Wukong skill checks you through your play-through. Being much more forgiving then Elden Ring, rewarding good reaction time and learning how to play the game. it’s a decent argument of it being not beginner friendly. But the entire premise of BlackMyth Wukong isn’t supposed to be easy. On Wukong I have a 4th play through character, level 300+ with like 100~ hours Compared to my 300+ hours on Elden ring with a nearly maxed out character. On a third play through and that just feels like hell and not fun. But I digress I don’t think Astro Bot should’ve won for the simple fact that it’s Mario Galaxy for PlayStation, an exclusive and really just is a game for kids or casual gamers with a broad audience I know you spoke of “oh video games are for kids and it’s not supposed to be hard” That’s a very fair point but the detail Wukong has compared to Astro bot? I don’t see it. I still don’t accept that Astro bot is a GOTY game
Brother everything you just said is why this market is the way it is. Not everybody wants to play a 300+ dark souls title man, I don’t care about how many details you put into a game and if you feel like you want to go through the game 4 times for whatever reason then that’s YOU. Not everyone is like that
@@Johnny_Salamii Not everybody wants to buy PS5 for a game and even if they had it not everybody wants to play platformers. The fact that black myth as expensive as it is still sold that many copies shows you what games want.
"Its only on PS5" is the weakest argument out there. When Breath of the wild or The last of us part 2 won. no one complained about those even though both games are also console exclusive. (and before you compalin more. The last of us 2 was ps only at time of the award the pc version came out years later.)

I feel like the impact on video games matters a lot when it comes to awards, how well it shifts the market/grabs people’s attention

;) if it was in my yard I would give it to elden ring 😊
I agree with you brother. Games shouldn’t be judged based on graphics or stories.
Sony can also buy the title game of the year just like they want to buy every game and make it exclusive
Isn't Sony the one who owns most of the best developers already and paying mostly for timed exclusivity? Microsoft was the one who's buying studios left and right until it backfired and they said they're good with multiplatfrorm and recently back to exclusivity.

do more research before making such a video, learn from Asmongold
