@@Gameorama91 I dont think Pekora has a real chance because she only streams in Japanese. She has a big following in the west also and is the most watched streamer in the world but like 80% of those viewers are from Asian countries. Ironmouse was very present on Twitch the last year before she won, is a English speaking streamer and had a lot of press. With Pekora´s nomination 95% of the reactions seem to be "... Who?"
@ogami7661 I think her being a Japanese streamer might actually help, because now an entire audience that wouldn't vote for ANYTHING in the Game Awards before will hear of her nomination and will all now vote just to support her lol. Though the public vote apparently doesn't count for much so idk if that will even matter, but we will see
Wukong is deserving cause it is a well made game. The issue many have with the reviews is that there were so many 'hit pieces' & blatant lies about the game & the developers that were used in some reviews as facts. The game should've reviewed much better than it did but there are actual evidence that many Western game journalists were knocking down the games scores due to other reasons. Case in point the Screen Rant review where the reviewer saw the games lack of diversity & inclusion as a negative....a game about a monkey based on Chinese myth.
I mean, the game got nominated for a lot of awards. Those same reviewers are the jury for the nominations and winners. I'll admit I was only being facetious in regards to Wukong. The game deserves to be there regardless.
Eh, there are still around 70+ games that got better scores this year then Wukong. Its a "good" game but has a lot of flaws and the 7-8/10s it got on the average are very much the truth. It got nominated because its sold like 20 mil copies in a month thanks to China and the Game Awards always love to suck up to China. I dont expect it to win anything in the end except the fan vote.
I'm surprised Infinite Wealth didn't even get nominated for Best Soundtrack, especially because the yakuza/like a dragon franchise as a whole has so many incredible soundtracks with Infinite Wealth being no exception to their track record of incredible music!
Agreed really think the Elden ring dlc shouldn’t have gotten in. Infinite wealth, persona 3, stellar blade, helldivers, etc probably could have taken its slot
You have to realize that the Jury is more than 2 or 3 critics you just ow, it’s comprised of more than that. Black moth Wukong definitely deserves its spot and you should not Judge the game based off what others say, give it a try yourself
Team FFVII: Rebirth ALL THE WAY! 😂
Let's go!! It's quite simply one of the best JRPGS ever made. I've also enjoyed it even more over time, too.
"I dont think a Vtuber was ever nominated for that"
A Vtuber literally won "Content Creator" last year with Ironmouse. 😄
I forgot about that too honestly lol. I could see Pekora taking this year, but Caseoh really blew up this year, so I think it'll be him in the end.
I'm surprised Kai Cenat didn't even get a nom after those Bloodborne streams tbh.
Yeah I forgot haha

Yeah, if we were short on great games this year, I'd get the decision.

I was clearly being facetious. I'll still stand that Tekken 8 deserves it more, though. 😤
