You can tell what kind of person a streamer is by how they react to this win... Its either "Robbed by Politcs" or "Robbed by Sony" or "Deserved 100%" Or my personal favorite "oh cool, I liked this game"
U can see that all group reactions was positive, and all single reactions was negative, BUT, most ppl in group reactions remains silent. That means ppl in group tend to not put their real thoughts out, to respect ppl who agree with the decision... But it's crystal clear that this award was not decided by gamers, because most of them enjoy the game, but don't think it's the best game of the year.
@DinaresX Not only are you Armchair analyzing random people online, but you're also blatantly ignoring all the very positive reactions to AstroBot winning... You're also ignoring the fact that AstroBot has a 9 on metacritic for BOTH critics and players... You're really ignoring a lot of stuff, I wonder if it's to push your own personal narrative?
@@DinaresXThese type of awards shouldn't be decided by gamers, assuming that by "gamers" you mean "the general public". Too much fanboyism and bandwagoning that would bias the vote. And honestly most members of the general public are unlikely to have played all 6 games. And it would just be heavily biased toward games with ton of players. Look at the Player's Voice finalists.

@@Highlander77 professional gamers play all games at launch. So who can possibly be better to vote that them? Of course will be bias, so as any judge on planet earth. That's why u need a large group of individuals to vote for the best game, to the winner be statistically accurate.
Astro Bot was my favourite game this year, it was pure joy and brought me back to my childhood...both playing mario and bringing me through PlayStation history. Some people are salty but the one thing I always notice is that they have never played it.
I think because it was just 10-18 hours of pure fun video game bliss which considering how so much gaming is focused on player rentention, montization, live service, deep narritives and many trends studios are chasing including PlayStation themselves here's comes something like Astro Bot that's just a fun 3D platformer with no strings attached that's it and we don't get that much these days besides Nintendo.
Man....shout out to Team Asobi for capturing the very essence of this hobby, making a platform that is SHEER FUN!!!!! Hats off to the lil adorable robot that simply makes you smile 😎😎😎
I think over the past decade people have developed a very specific idea of what makes GOTY material. That they’re supposed to be either a 4-quadrant AAA title with a focus on story, or a 4-quadrant AAA title with a focus in game design. Ppl thought Wukong would win for the simple fact that it checked those boxes. I think that GOTY is ultimately determined by whichever game represents an idea that the industry wants be recognized or embraced. In 2018, GOW won because the industry saw an opportunity to embrace the idea of a franchise successfully reshaping its identity to create something fresh and exciting. In 2020, the industry saw an opportunity to recognize a game that was extremely controversial and say “yea I guess games can be this polarizing”. Wukong is a great game but it winning wouldn’t really say anything because it’s nothing we haven’t already gotten. Astro bot is a very simple yet intricately crafted platformer, with the sole purpose of just putting a big dumb grin on the player’s face. And in an industry where every game is either a trend-chasing 4-quadrant AAA “masterpiece” or a small indie title trying to carve out its own niche, that is RARE.
Well said. This award recognizing the purity of gaming and hopefully a reset button for the future of gaming; A focus on bringing fun and joy to gaming
Did everyone forget It Takes Two won three years ago and it also won at DICE and GDC lol? Game has like a 94 on metacritic with a 9.2 user score…more streamers should’ve played it so they wouldn’t have been so shocked.
Everyone loves astro bot, put the biggest smile I've had in gaming for a long time, and my younger cosuins absolutely love it. It's a game that transends age.
Mostly everyone I've seen some people who think it didn't deserve the game of the year but whatever it was certainly my game of the year and I understand why some people might have different choices of which game they loved the best 👌 👍
@@aaronatkinson177most of those are ones who haven’t played it, or if they played it, they were biased against it and shrouded by hatred over ‘cooler, adult game’ Wukong’s loss. After playing it properly I bet many of those will fall in love with it :)
Same here I was cheering the platformer wins! Now it is time for the mascots to return and remind everybody why we played games when we were young to have simple harmless fun.
He just started playing and has a reaction on his channel. He starts bashing the game the first 5 minutes and proceeds to get so many smiles and grins that he completely changed his opinion towards the end of the stream. His chat loved it
All PC players can't fathom why Astrobot could win the GotY Hope game will port to PC soon, so they'll know why Its highest opencritic score for reason
As someone who doesn't have a PS5 and only got to play the demo once at a store and literally everything else I know is from let's plays, I actually was rooting for Astro Bot to win. Team Asobi really deserve that win 🩵
I was hoping Astro Bot would win just to stick it to Sony that it would get them to make new entries from their dormant IPs and that’s exactly what happened and I couldn’t be any happier about that
I wanted Metaphor to win, and after having won 3 awards I thought there was a chance it would be the surprise GOTY...but I loved Astro Bot too so I have no complaints. I'm actually more heated that Silent Hill 2 went home empty-handed...
I’m a little upset Stellar Blade didn’t win anything. Glad it at least got recognized for its music and action. That was my 2nd favorite game this year. I gotta try Metaphor soon as I play either Persona 3 or 5.
Never expected to see Yong Yea (The English Voice of Kazuma Kiryu) reacting to this too It's really awesome to see him streaming like Greg Chun (Voice of Yagami from Judgment and Namba from Like a Dragon) does I gotta tune in to his streams more often
Black Myth was a decent game but had various issues imo. Astro Bot all around was a flawless, joyful experience. It deserved the win. Also, with Black Myth, it was definitely at the bottom of the contenders next to Elden Ring. Astro Bot, FF7R, and Balatro were the ones leading the chance of winning imo.
The ones who were upset are the types of people who don't play games for fun, and most of them only attach themselves to gaming for the drama/rage bait they can make content out of lol.
Honestly, Astro Bot winning the game awards or even Wukong is a good thing. We live in a generation where millions of dollars are being spent on cinematics and graphics for no reason, companies have lost their way. And hopefully in due time they’ll realize that games like these or stuff like Baldur’s Gate is what people really want, pure fun and gameplay instead of Hollywood slop. We gotta push that on companies or they’ll never change.
I believe a lot of the people in this comment section need to learn that your favorite game losing doesn't mean anything. They're still good, it's just that more people liked this.
@Celespogeu That just means more people preferred it than anything else, even if it was an exclusive. Being exclusive really shouldn't mean anything in GOTY eligibility. Just because someone hasn't played the game doesn't mean that the game shouldn't win.
I think I agree. I liked Astrobot, metaphor and slightly lesser liked rebirth and Elden Ring DLC. Wukong looks good and I guess Balatro was viral or something. But honestly I don’t think there was a clear choice this year. They’re mostly 8.5/10s that deserve nominations but none would stand up against BG3, Elden Ring, God of War, Witcher 3 etc. The best game I played this year was monster hunter world to be honest and that’s really old. Not saying it was a bad year for games because there was some good stuff but nothing to sweep an awards show.
It is the best game. I don’t get why people talking about it. Ff7 is 2nd best. Whoever brought black myth, supports the war for Russia. They just didn’t notice.
The curious thing in this video, is that all group reactions was positive, and all single reactions was negative or didn't expect at all. That shows that ppl in group, tend to not put their real thoughts out, so much is most of the group reactions, mostly of the ppl stay silent
Sometimes, a game doesn't need to have deep lore, story and characters, or game breaking graphics. It just needs to be fun, and Astro Bot ticked all the boxes.
Is just a kasaya, blackmyth does not need TGA to prove its worth, feedback from majority of the players and streamers has already proved that. But is cool, haters gonna hate 😂
Rigged media Jammed by Sony to play an "ad" not even a game . Black myth wukong shatter the modern day gaming industry in consumer freindly, immersive, most anticipated game of all time. The most dissaponting GOTY.
I guess it all depends on what criteria people think is deserving of GOTY. I do not think it should have won. And of course its a great game in every sense, but in my opinion GOTY means more than happy fun.
I don't think Wukong is a bad game but I can't be the only one who doesn't understand why so many people thought it actually had a chance when it was 112th best rated game of the year and the other 5 nominees were all 90+ rated and in the top 10 for the year It was only nominated to increase their Chinese viewership.
The only reason Wukong even got the nomination at all was to throw a bone to China, so this narrative is bunk. It wasn't even in the top 100 highest rated games of the year, there were frankly more deserving titles that got left out (Stellar Blade, SH2 remake).
There's GOTY, judged by gaming media & journalists. Then there's Player's Choice, literally a sub award in tga, that ACTUALLY represents what REAL players like the most. Enough said.
And all the other games on the Player's Choice list were gacha games. Just because there's a ton of people living in China who voted for the Chinese game doesn't mean it was objectively the best.
@@Highlander77 if IGN (and many other gaming media/journalists) didn't go through a literal entire campaign of trying their best to demolish Wukong, I'd say it is what it is and Astrobot deserved it. But of course, ya'll gonna ignore that by choice, and internet is a place where people's memories are like gold fish. Sure sure, it's not about politics at all when the US literally announced they've spent like 1.6 billion for anti-china influence (or something). Go check if you decide not to be ignorant for once.
@@allergy3659 astrobot is good and fun as hell, but a bit too far from Goty material, just admit it, especially when it's an exclusive controller ad. For instance, i like Lies of P very much, played like 200hours and god knows how many NG+, simply the best game for me that year, but do I think it would be GOTY? Hell no lol, it's good, but not GOTY good, it's that simple. I'm not saying the same thing twice, check my comment above.
@@Highlander77 last i checked a few weeks ago, more than 20% (maybe 30%) of the sales are not from China. hypothetically, let's eliminate all the sales from China, Astrobot's sale was still pathetically low compared to Wukong. They're not even in the same room to begin with.
BMW =20 MILLION SALES Astrobot = 1.5 million 😂. Not saying its a bad game in all honesty i never knew what it was until yesterday but something is way off here.
@@Highlander77 well for example if you look at BMW sales figures then the fact it has overwhelmingly good rating on steam - people weren't tricked into buying a game and then angry at the quality were they? In fact the response after playing the product is 'overwhelmingly positive'. I have over 100 hours in BMW and they have just released a free update that is almost dlc size. Astrobot is an 11 hour game😂. C'mon I'm not taking the piss but there's barely any point buying it - I would complete over a weekend. I should hope a game with such little content has good quality because if it didn't then they would have no excuse.
@@slmm__6959 wake up do you actually believe these companies are trusted and not biased? I only listen to players, your everyday people. BMW won players voice or whatever it's called so for me that's what I consider to be important.
@KevinKirkpatrick-qo5dd I've got 30 hours in Astro Bot, and while some of that might have been idle time, it's well over 11 hours if you do everything, so that time estimate is a lie. Not that a game's length has anything to do with its quality anyway. How much of that playtime in Black Myth is just trying to beat the same bosses over and over again?
@@ミチル-n6q It's not really THAT shocking, most Westerners wouldn't immediately know the difference, especially given that a huge portion of the Japanese written language contains Chinese kanji. I do apologize for the mistake though. I still disagree that the choice of Astro Bot is in any way an insult to gamers. Astro Bot itself is a love letter to gamers and videogames. It's one of the purest expressions of the artform we've gotten in a long time.
@@Highlander77 Sorry,dude,I shoud not point to you, but I still mad about TGA not about Astro bot, I’m not saying Astro bot is not a good game, but it’s just not on that high level of game of the year material, the graphic the scale the plot the sales etc … if there is is a best game for kid I’m totally ok with it, not to mention it’s most like a advertisement of SONY, Filled with so-called memories and Easter eggs of SONY, You said this was well-intentioned or a love letter for gamer, if that is true why SONY don’t put Astor bot for free to all play station user?? It’s cost you 49 $ instead…If its game creativity is good, why can't Nintendo win an award? Best family game but only one person can play?? Best Art Direction? For a cartoon game for kids? Sony itself didn't promote this game much as it’s only sold 1.5 million ,compare to that black WoKong sold 15 times more than that 20 million only on Steam ……come on man, I can say that all day. It’s really not a same genre!! The Journey to the west for Chinese more like The Odyssey to western people, We litully can not bear to lose to a cartoon game like Astor bot
@@ミチル-n6q Sounds like you have a lot personal bias going on here. "Cartoon games" like Astro Bot are what put videogames on the map and made people fall in love with them. "Family game" means that anyone of any age can play it, it doesn't mean multiplayer. And Nintendo HAS won those awards. Also Astro didn't win Best Art Direction, Metaphor Refantazio did. And it doesn't matter how beloved a tale Journey to the West is to Chinese people...the award is Game of the Year, not most beloved source material. It's also not "best selling game of the year" (Wukong wouldn't have won that either). Astro Bot was just a better made game. That's not taking anything away from Wukong, it was a great first-effort by that developer. Maybe their next game will win GotY.
We - The real players and paid the money, votes only worth 10% while the votes those freaks from LGBT, DEI, IGN etc worth 90%. Guys, please forget about IGN and ignore their TGA. Only Golden Joystick reflects the truths and represent what we truly wants. Astrobot is fun but that is, no good story and lore, no great music, its a game designed for PS5 controller, GOTY should be more than this. People who supporting Astrobot is 100% DID NOT play the other games especially Black Myth Wukong.
Wukong was a repetitive hack & slash game,just another generic soulslike game,nothing new... Astrobot had different unique gameplays in every stages,not to mention it fully utilise the dualsense controller to have a better gaming experience....
@@wolfkingomega1405 wukong 81 on metacritic, 83 user score. Astrobot 94, 92 user score. Who wound think that a game with a higher rating would win? Who would think, huh?
What? Critically, Astro crushes it, with press and players alike. Wukong is fine...but just that; fine. It is massively overrated by some who must have never played a third person action-adventure title before...
Astro bot really good game i loves ir but wukong is just way better lol thats pure politics they didnt wanted a chinese game to win since its a american award they just jove with a a amongus cope
Why did wukong with best action game over the similarly reviewed warhammer game then? Why would it even be nominated over that game then? They were both reviewed similarly.
Wukong is better?that repetitive generic hack & slash gameplay?find the enemy patterns & smash square button to win in every stage...nahhh,it makes sense Astrobot won cause of variation gameplay in every levels combine with the unique dualsense controller mechanics
It is true, but it is an insult for a PS5 exclusive to win a game with no story, no lore to win a goty. Plus to that hundreds of millions of pc player choices ignored is crazy
@JamesQuartz Either way, just because some people didn't play the game doesn't mean their voices were unaccounted for. The game's rated for what it is, and this is an exclusive, which really doesn't take anything away from it other than more of an audience.
I’m glad Astro Bot won. I was expecting Final Fantasy or Black Myth Wukong to win, but Astro Bot took me by surprise. I have to play it! Just like R.O.B. is a family robot for NES, Astro Bot is like the friendly robot for PlayStation.🤓🤖🦾
So glad it won. I feel like I was the only one who was expecting it to win lol.

It’s game on for Mario.
Rigged media Jammed by Sony to play an "ad" not even a game . Black myth wukong shatter the modern day gaming industry in consumer freindly, immersive, most anticipated game of all time. The most dissaponting GOTY.
I guess it all depends on what criteria people think is deserving of GOTY. I do not think it should have won. And of course its a great game in every sense, but in my opinion GOTY means more than happy fun.
Bro you don’t gotta make excuses. I was pissed when rdr2 and doom eternal lost. It’s okay haha
I don't think Wukong is a bad game but I can't be the only one who doesn't understand why so many people thought it actually had a chance when it was 112th best rated game of the year and the other 5 nominees were all 90+ rated and in the top 10 for the year
It was only nominated to increase their Chinese viewership.
They Never Wanted A Chinese Game To Win. Astrobot Was Just A Good Game But BM Was Easily The GOTY
The only reason Wukong even got the nomination at all was to throw a bone to China, so this narrative is bunk. It wasn't even in the top 100 highest rated games of the year, there were frankly more deserving titles that got left out (Stellar Blade, SH2 remake).
Well it isnt a surprise TGA are bought, had been for 8 years
There's GOTY, judged by gaming media & journalists. Then there's Player's Choice, literally a sub award in tga, that ACTUALLY represents what REAL players like the most. Enough said.
And all the other games on the Player's Choice list were gacha games. Just because there's a ton of people living in China who voted for the Chinese game doesn't mean it was objectively the best.
There were like 4 gacha games on the player’s choice this time around. If one of those games had won player’s choice, would you still say that?
@@Highlander77 if IGN (and many other gaming media/journalists) didn't go through a literal entire campaign of trying their best to demolish Wukong, I'd say it is what it is and Astrobot deserved it. But of course, ya'll gonna ignore that by choice, and internet is a place where people's memories are like gold fish. Sure sure, it's not about politics at all when the US literally announced they've spent like 1.6 billion for anti-china influence (or something). Go check if you decide not to be ignorant for once.
@@allergy3659 astrobot is good and fun as hell, but a bit too far from Goty material, just admit it, especially when it's an exclusive controller ad. For instance, i like Lies of P very much, played like 200hours and god knows how many NG+, simply the best game for me that year, but do I think it would be GOTY? Hell no lol, it's good, but not GOTY good, it's that simple. I'm not saying the same thing twice, check my comment above.
@@Highlander77 last i checked a few weeks ago, more than 20% (maybe 30%) of the sales are not from China. hypothetically, let's eliminate all the sales from China, Astrobot's sale was still pathetically low compared to Wukong. They're not even in the same room to begin with.
Strangest win in years...
! Robbed by Sony and you know it !
BMW =20 MILLION SALES
Astrobot = 1.5 million 😂.
Not saying its a bad game in all honesty i never knew what it was until yesterday but something is way off here.
Nothing is way off , a 81 metacritc game is not gonna beat a 94 rated game
What do sales have to do with quality?
@@Highlander77 well for example if you look at BMW sales figures then the fact it has overwhelmingly good rating on steam - people weren't tricked into buying a game and then angry at the quality were they? In fact the response after playing the product is 'overwhelmingly positive'. I have over 100 hours in BMW and they have just released a free update that is almost dlc size. Astrobot is an 11 hour game😂. C'mon I'm not taking the piss but there's barely any point buying it - I would complete over a weekend. I should hope a game with such little content has good quality because if it didn't then they would have no excuse.
@@slmm__6959 wake up do you actually believe these companies are trusted and not biased? I only listen to players, your everyday people. BMW won players voice or whatever it's called so for me that's what I consider to be important.
@KevinKirkpatrick-qo5dd I've got 30 hours in Astro Bot, and while some of that might have been idle time, it's well over 11 hours if you do everything, so that time estimate is a lie. Not that a game's length has anything to do with its quality anyway. How much of that playtime in Black Myth is just trying to beat the same bosses over and over again?
TGA actually insults all gamer 😂
So shocked to see this comment from an account with a Chinese username...
@ What is even more shocking is that some people cannot distinguish between Chinese and Japanese name
@@ミチル-n6q It's not really THAT shocking, most Westerners wouldn't immediately know the difference, especially given that a huge portion of the Japanese written language contains Chinese kanji. I do apologize for the mistake though. I still disagree that the choice of Astro Bot is in any way an insult to gamers. Astro Bot itself is a love letter to gamers and videogames. It's one of the purest expressions of the artform we've gotten in a long time.
@@Highlander77 Sorry,dude,I shoud not point to you, but I still mad about TGA not about Astro bot, I’m not saying Astro bot is not a good game, but it’s just not on that high level of game of the year material, the graphic the scale the plot the sales etc … if there is is a best game for kid I’m totally ok with it, not to mention it’s most like a advertisement of SONY, Filled with so-called memories and Easter eggs of SONY, You said this was well-intentioned or a love letter for gamer, if that is true why SONY don’t put Astor bot for free to all play station user?? It’s cost you 49 $ instead…If its game creativity is good, why can't Nintendo win an award? Best family game but only one person can play?? Best Art Direction? For a cartoon game for kids? Sony itself didn't promote this game much as it’s only sold 1.5 million ,compare to that black WoKong sold 15 times more than that 20 million only on Steam ……come on man, I can say that all day. It’s really not a same genre!!
The Journey to the west for Chinese more like The Odyssey to western people,
We litully can not bear to lose to a cartoon game like Astor bot
@@ミチル-n6q Sounds like you have a lot personal bias going on here. "Cartoon games" like Astro Bot are what put videogames on the map and made people fall in love with them. "Family game" means that anyone of any age can play it, it doesn't mean multiplayer. And Nintendo HAS won those awards. Also Astro didn't win Best Art Direction, Metaphor Refantazio did.
And it doesn't matter how beloved a tale Journey to the West is to Chinese people...the award is Game of the Year, not most beloved source material. It's also not "best selling game of the year" (Wukong wouldn't have won that either). Astro Bot was just a better made game. That's not taking anything away from Wukong, it was a great first-effort by that developer. Maybe their next game will win GotY.
Not every person can play black myth wukong the real G.O.T.Y of 2024
We - The real players and paid the money, votes only worth 10% while the votes those freaks from LGBT, DEI, IGN etc worth 90%. Guys, please forget about IGN and ignore their TGA. Only Golden Joystick reflects the truths and represent what we truly wants. Astrobot is fun but that is, no good story and lore, no great music, its a game designed for PS5 controller, GOTY should be more than this. People who supporting Astrobot is 100% DID NOT play the other games especially Black Myth Wukong.
Over wu kong is crazyyy
It’s better. So it makes sense
Wukong was a repetitive hack & slash game,just another generic soulslike game,nothing new...
Astrobot had different unique gameplays in every stages,not to mention it fully utilise the dualsense controller to have a better gaming experience....
@@wolfkingomega1405 wukong 81 on metacritic, 83 user score. Astrobot 94, 92 user score. Who wound think that a game with a higher rating would win? Who would think, huh?
Cope
What? Critically, Astro crushes it, with press and players alike. Wukong is fine...but just that; fine. It is massively overrated by some who must have never played a third person action-adventure title before...
Astro bot really good game i loves ir but wukong is just way better lol thats pure politics they didnt wanted a chinese game to win since its a american award they just jove with a a amongus cope
Why did wukong with best action game over the similarly reviewed warhammer game then? Why would it even be nominated over that game then? They were both reviewed similarly.
Wukong is better?that repetitive generic hack & slash gameplay?find the enemy patterns & smash square button to win in every stage...nahhh,it makes sense Astrobot won cause of variation gameplay in every levels combine with the unique dualsense controller mechanics
@@meifungliew1637so why don't you choose Mario? It's cheaper and better than Astrobot
Astro Bot is a Japanese developed game...
Don’t be silly
Trash game yall are a bunch of simps lol
Wow a game that was only popular on ps5 beats a game that capture the attention of the world makes sense 😂🙄
astro bot winning is an insult to real gamers worldwide chat gpt robot ahh game
"You... just don't like joy." - Literally one of the people in this video
It is true, but it is an insult for a PS5 exclusive to win a game with no story, no lore to win a goty. Plus to that hundreds of millions of pc player choices ignored is crazy
@JamesQuartz A game doesn't need story or lore. That's just an additional bonus to a fun game with entertaining characters.
@JamesQuartz Either way, just because some people didn't play the game doesn't mean their voices were unaccounted for. The game's rated for what it is, and this is an exclusive, which really doesn't take anything away from it other than more of an audience.
It was at this moment the GOTY award became a joke🤡
Womp womp
@@UltimateCarDrawer567 Well I'm just glad this made a 12 yr old happy
Just because a game unlike the rest won?
I’m glad Astro Bot won. I was expecting Final Fantasy or Black Myth Wukong to win, but Astro Bot took me by surprise. I have to play it! Just like R.O.B. is a family robot for NES, Astro Bot is like the friendly robot for PlayStation.🤓🤖🦾
