The game awards are merely a promotion platform for big game companies. We gamers are too naive to think that those ranking platforms actually reward the real good games made by small new companies.
@@sjneowlost in translation. He didn't say that, but something along the line "I came here for nothing" Even that may be misinterpreted, cause that's Chinese's phrase for saying they did something but didn't get what they expected in return

(I could be wrong on this but this is what I interpreted) someone else from game science took the best action game award on stage, not him. I am assuming because he is anticipating other awards/GOTY)
Astro Bot is a good and fun game. But from the content itself, how can Astro Bot compare with BMW, FF7 and Elden Ring? So, what is the criteria of GOTY? Talking about the social impact, BMW is phenomenon. The quality and feedback from gamers are so great. Anyway, TGA's GOTY is overrate.
@sjneow Did you at least finish the game ? Just so you know GOTY has 90% voting from the judges and 10% from the fans / BMW sold 22 mill in a month and Astro Bot sold 1.5 mill / BMW won Player's Voice which is 100% public voting but hey at least a dlc didn't win GOTY.
@@sjneow I bet you play BWM on PS5. I always say that BMW on PS5 is trash, you need a good PC to fully know and enjoy the beauty of BMW just like you need PS5 to enjoy Astro Bot.
No, don't take me wrong it's a awesome game. No doubt. But you should understand not everyone have unlimited time to play a single boss fight for 50 times. The only reason I hate it because of how difficult it is. It should have kept a easy mode so gamers like me can also enjoy.
Rather than calling it robbery, I feel it's more like malicious humiliation. Yes, that's right-TGA is using this result to humiliate the creators of Black Myth: Wukong.
Astro bot is pure fun but I don't see it as GOTY material, basically playstation's mario odyssey. BMWK with not only solid gameplay, it's well-crafted art, with love and care of the developers for the medium, the culture and little bit buddhism philosophy explore 'obsession' is just on another level. I guess Sony must win something after Concord
I platinum Black myth wukong, stellar blade and Astro bot and I’m surprised by results of all three games 😂 wukong should have won GOTY, stellar blade should have atleast won best soundtrack and I’m surprised Astro bot won GOTY 😂
We Asians already knew WK will not win GOTY, because it’s Chinese game and Asian Mythology and also no woke and plus Boss fighting game with no chill. Even, WK will not win by open voting too , also Asians gamers are just love and play the games, mostly, not all, they don’t even see or know about game awards. 😂😂
@ did I say Astro isn’t Asian game or not ? There’s huge difference here I mentioned above, Chinese game and Asian Mythology ! and seriously, you can ask hundreds of Asian gamers like did you know Game awards ? Or how to vote it ? Like that, and they will say , I don’t know or I don’t care something like that, in some kinds of Asian perspective WK is Asian mythology culture and we already knew that game will not win in western game awards because most of peoples love more chill and don’t want to learn or think about new cultures , so for GOTY, how much the game is good or masterpiece , people will still vote for what they can grab to know or which one is more familiar for themselves, so no surprise for award like popular voting and judge hybrid voting GOTY award And also I can understand about Fan vote but for Judge - something salty there 🙄🙄
To see whether GOTY is fair or not, just switch the position -- if Astro Bot was developed by Game Science, and Black Myth Wukong was developed by Sony; where the little platformer game has 10 hours and sold only 1 million copies, while Sony's BMW has 60+ hours gameplay and sold 30 million copies. in that case, which game do you think would actually got the GOTY? 😢
Astro bot is a great game. it bring a lot of people joys to people,but it doesn't have the size,the depths, the quality that compare to the other 4 ganes. Wukong probably win 70% or more percent popular vote but it didn't matter size those "media". it just a slap on the face for a lot of those medias propaganda. i also hope wukong fans don't attack the Astro bot itself and its studio. they did nothing wrong. its just tgas structure and those media
Tbf on the account that Astrobot is only even playable on PS5, literally and there’s nowhere else to play it. Whilst with Wukong, you can play on any console.
I wholeheartedly believe that Black Myth Wukong sould have won game of the year awards but not for the reasons moast ppl believe it sould have see like almost all cinema level engaging and imersive rpg games (to my knoladge is what bmw looks like) Black Myth Wukong is an experience it's a tale told through the trials and tribulations of those who walk the path along side the mc like cyberpunk to name one other for if there is one thing the Chinese have done exceptionally well throughout the ages is tell stories of aww and wonder legends undying and tales never aging the experience being facing impossible odds failing and trying again teaching you to never give up no matter how hard life troughs itself at you but ofcourse goty have no interest in the art or dedication put into video games to them its all about chrts and numbers
Black Myth Wukong is TOO BIG for GOTY of TGA, way beyond and above it. BMW is a historical phenomena in any and all aspects! BWM is a masterpiece which has set the new standards to measure any new games from now and onwards. BMW does not need the title, it has already won the CROWN in people's hearts.
The Monkey King should’ve won and it was rob….Astro bot,barely anyone play it or bought it and no one knew it until it won GOTY 😂😂😂😂1.5M copies sold and 90% of the PlayStation base didn’t play it or buy it
Every game is fun is different ways for everybody, but BMW just had way more reasons and more to offer which automatically made it GOTY period. After you beat BMW there’s is still 30+ hours of content in the game! Plus it’s first month having 10 million sales/players while astrobot only sold 1.5 million is just common sense for BMW to win. And the biggest part for a long while BMW is a PlayStation exclusive! Just like astrobot
I'm glad you like platformjumping games, you can buy the Switch to play Mario and Star Kirby, you can find the little robot in the level design, robot movement, gameplay a lot of simple port
You have devs that made a game that was inspired by Mario, the King of Platformers, make a Super Mario Galaxy 2 essentially for PlayStation, and people are surprised that it won GOTY. If Nintendo made a Super Mario Galaxy 2 with the polish of Astro Bot, the results would've been the same. Wu Kong is great. Played it myself on the Ps5 as well along with Rebirth, SOTET and Metaphor which I very much enjoyed and put above Wu Kong. Astro Bot however just did everything flawless, no issues, fun and enjoyable throughout the entirety of all 80 worlds. Wu Kong felt slow starting off and didn't pick up until the 3rd part of the game. 2nd part was decent but performance issues hit hard. SOTET is DLC and doesn't do anything different from the base game of Elden Ring at all. Metaphor is great starting out but towards the end you can tell it was rushed and the story started slipping. Not to mention some of the Archetypes are flat out useless. Rebirth was great but had bloated minigames that would've been fine left out not to mention the performance issues as well. Idk anything about Balatro other than it's a damn good game. Never played it though.
I bet most of these people who are salty haven't even played astro bot. Its obvious wukong rated 81 had no chance against the highest rated game astrobot at 94. Huge difference there.
81 rated by the same journals that smeared and attacked the game even before it even came out. Sure it was fair and accurate. lol. I bet you didn't have a good PC to enjoy and know how good Wukong is. There is a reason why Astro bot only sold 1.5 million but Wukong sold 20 million with 96% positive on Steam, 95% on Google users, and 4.49 on PSN. Awarded as GOTY from multiple game awards around the world, and People's Choice at the TGA, supported and voted by top game streamers who played both Astrobot and Wukong.
Astro bot is not even in the same league with BMW. Astro bot is a fun game at its best that is all people can say about it. But people have a lot more to talk about BMW, a masterpiece of a combination of fun, art, music, story, combat, aesthetics, cinematic experience, teachings and inspiration. BMW should have won Game of the Year.
Exactly, my whole family from my parents to my baby nephews played and loved astrobot and I’m sure I’m not the only household with that experience. These people cannot comprehend that other people like things more than the things they like
@StephenYoung1379 its good but not goty material, there's a difference. its one of those times where actual deserving one won just like Baldur's Gate and Elden Ring. before thise TGA always hit or miss (RDR2 and Ghost of Tsushima not winning is mindboggling)
@@qiqichen-zt8ig The Last of Us Part II should never won GOTY, and RDR2 have nore replayability, impact, and lasting value than GOW4, Ragnarok and Forbidden West doesn't even deserve nomination
@ quality wise, Astro bot got Black Myth beat. Bad technically performing game should not be rewarded game of the year. And black my technically was horrible on the PS5.
@@Semi-Addict-Gamer Because SONY provides technical support for its own games, the BMW team from China does not have the same professional PS5 engineers as SONY itself
When I first saw Balatro get nominated for Game of the Year, I freaked the fuck out, because indie games getting nominated for that is a bit strange, considering that majority of titles that are put in there are usually AAA games. But it also taught me something - Geoff and the TGA committee are becoming aware of the power and success that indie games can have, considering that it's a genre that has been well and truly beyond what it's capable of since the start of this decade and is only getting better day by day, especially when you look at the indie games that got nominated this year as well! I hope they keep bringing these games to the spotlight, because small successes and projects like these can not only set someone up for life, but inspire aspiring game developers to pursue their ideas and not feel like they need to work at a company to make something great. As for Astro Bot, I do think that it's deserving of all of the awards, but I'm also on the fence of Wukong being robbed because the player's choice award said enough... The sales were high, it became the most played single-player game in the world and many content creators and reviewers praised this game for... well, pretty much everything. It was also my vote for GOTY, so not seeing it win made me disappointed, but if Astro Bot winning has taught me anything, it's that western developers need to step their shit up and start producing greatness that doesn't involve taking money out of people's pockets, but rather something that's just... fun. Space Marine 2 is probably the best example of a game that's well worth the price tag, as you get 3 full-fledged game modes, all which can be played with friends alongside a roadmap of content, all FREE and only has cosmetics that are optional and aren't pay to win. Wukong and Astro Bot are both fun games, and I don't think there's a right or wrong in this situation. Give us more games like Space Marine 2, and I'll be happy. Arguing over both of these games for GOTY is just silly to me. BG3 last year though? Different story, it was THE game to rule 2023 by a longshot.
to be fair, if you look at the rest of the nominees of players choice, they are all gacha games, it makes sense for GOTY to not be based on Players choice
@@sjneow 90% based on journals behind the scenes and when players and gaming community voices don't matter isn't fair. 50/50 would be the ideal if they really want it to be fair and truly represent the Game of the Year.
I don't think Black Myth deserved game of the year at all imo, I played the game and by the end it felt like a chore playing, especially when trying to fight the final hidden boss. The upgrades felt weak, the moves repetitive, and the character wasn't relatable or even interesting. I felt like I was just trying to enjoy it rather than it being unavoidably fun. All in all it's still a good game, but Shadow of the Erdtree was better and it was only a DLC, I haven't played Astro Bot 2 but the first one was actually pretty fun to the point I even wanted to get the platinum trophy and did. I've heard nothing but great things about the 2nd, and it getting game of the year now convinced me to want to buy it but I think it'll probably be free on PS+ eventually anyway. Just my thoughts anywho, nice video otherwise
I don't think astro bot is a better game than Super Mario Odessey, it's not that innovative, the game length is short (only a few hours), and it's expensive for what it is, and it's ps5 exclusive, also it's key feature is only for a specific controller. It is a fun "family game", but I don't think a game that only takes a few hours to beat deserves a goty. I mean just compare astrobot to previous goty games, in terms of size and sales, it just doesn't feel right. astrobot only sold 1.5m copies. while previous goty like bg3, elden ring, sekiro, god of war all sold over 10 million or evenn 20 million copies, and they all take a large sum of hours to beat, and have very good replayability. It takes two is sort of similiar but it was innovative and changed the gaming industry, while being way more famous and sold wayyy more copies than astrobot. All and all astrobot is a good game, but it's size and sales, nor does it's innovation align with "goty". I do also believe Black Myth Wukong is not as impressive as elden ring and sekiro during their year, but considering the other games that came out this year, I say it's the tallest among a bunch of midgets. It's the only game in that nominee list that has a huge size, huge sale number, and a very good reputation among players (excluding dlc and remakes, and elden ring's dlc reputation wasn't the greatest compared to it's main game) The fact that most people (including streamers) never heard of the game or never played the game before the gaming award already says a lot, you can not tell me a game is so good that it deserve goty when your average joe dooesn't even know the game exists. While most of the previous gotys were so famous in their year that even non-gamers know their existence and watched videos of them. I'm not a conspiracy lover but this year's tga is fraud is a fair statement, considering who's voting in the council, sony's relationship with tga, and they added dlc and remakes in the nominee's this year, and the fact that bmw not only didn't win goty, while aslo only won 1 side award. Considering how much hate bmw got from medias, and got rated lower than astrobot by medias on release. Things only adds up, they don't want china to take a piece of cake in triple A market, and they don't like when a company refuse to be DEI.
@@xingyuliu-vn6dlfor the fact that it's an exclusive alone is bias enough. GOW was an exclusive, but are we going to compare it to Astrbot? Just dirty politics.
@ yea true, forgot abt that. But both gow and rdr2 were very famous before tga, not like astrobot where me and ppl around me never heard of the game before the award. But it is what is is, at least we eating good next year like 2018.
Whether wukong is robbed or not but definitely western gaming award company has lost all their credibility. China shouldn't keep hope from this company. They should keep creating games for the people. That's it. I will nether purchase nor Play any Western games from today. They are so jealous of China's game science.

Space Marine 2 is probably the best example of a game that's well worth the price tag, as you get 3 full-fledged game modes, all which can be played with friends alongside a roadmap of content, all FREE and only has cosmetics that are optional and aren't pay to win. Wukong and Astro Bot are both fun games, and I don't think there's a right or wrong in this situation. Give us more games like Space Marine 2, and I'll be happy. Arguing over both of these games for GOTY is just silly to me. BG3 last year though? Different story, it was THE game to rule 2023 by a longshot.
to be fair, if you look at the rest of the nominees of players choice, they are all gacha games, it makes sense for GOTY to not be based on Players choice
@@sjneow 90% based on journals behind the scenes and when players and gaming community voices don't matter isn't fair. 50/50 would be the ideal if they really want it to be fair and truly represent the Game of the Year.
@@sjneowthen just remove gotcha and online service, still Wukong😂
No. FFVII Rebirth, Astro, Metaphor, Silent Hill2...are all better games...

Why even bother about thise useless rewards
I don't think Black Myth deserved game of the year at all imo, I played the game and by the end it felt like a chore playing, especially when trying to fight the final hidden boss. The upgrades felt weak, the moves repetitive, and the character wasn't relatable or even interesting. I felt like I was just trying to enjoy it rather than it being unavoidably fun. All in all it's still a good game, but Shadow of the Erdtree was better and it was only a DLC, I haven't played Astro Bot 2 but the first one was actually pretty fun to the point I even wanted to get the platinum trophy and did. I've heard nothing but great things about the 2nd, and it getting game of the year now convinced me to want to buy it but I think it'll probably be free on PS+ eventually anyway. Just my thoughts anywho, nice video otherwise
I don't think astro bot is a better game than Super Mario Odessey, it's not that innovative, the game length is short (only a few hours), and it's expensive for what it is, and it's ps5 exclusive, also it's key feature is only for a specific controller. It is a fun "family game", but I don't think a game that only takes a few hours to beat deserves a goty. I mean just compare astrobot to previous goty games, in terms of size and sales, it just doesn't feel right. astrobot only sold 1.5m copies. while previous goty like bg3, elden ring, sekiro, god of war all sold over 10 million or evenn 20 million copies, and they all take a large sum of hours to beat, and have very good replayability. It takes two is sort of similiar but it was innovative and changed the gaming industry, while being way more famous and sold wayyy more copies than astrobot. All and all astrobot is a good game, but it's size and sales, nor does it's innovation align with "goty". I do also believe Black Myth Wukong is not as impressive as elden ring and sekiro during their year, but considering the other games that came out this year, I say it's the tallest among a bunch of midgets. It's the only game in that nominee list that has a huge size, huge sale number, and a very good reputation among players (excluding dlc and remakes, and elden ring's dlc reputation wasn't the greatest compared to it's main game) The fact that most people (including streamers) never heard of the game or never played the game before the gaming award already says a lot, you can not tell me a game is so good that it deserve goty when your average joe dooesn't even know the game exists. While most of the previous gotys were so famous in their year that even non-gamers know their existence and watched videos of them. I'm not a conspiracy lover but this year's tga is fraud is a fair statement, considering who's voting in the council, sony's relationship with tga, and they added dlc and remakes in the nominee's this year, and the fact that bmw not only didn't win goty, while aslo only won 1 side award. Considering how much hate bmw got from medias, and got rated lower than astrobot by medias on release. Things only adds up, they don't want china to take a piece of cake in triple A market, and they don't like when a company refuse to be DEI.
@@xingyuliu-vn6dlfor the fact that it's an exclusive alone is bias enough. GOW was an exclusive, but are we going to compare it to Astrbot? Just dirty politics.
@ yea true, forgot abt that. But both gow and rdr2 were very famous before tga, not like astrobot where me and ppl around me never heard of the game before the award. But it is what is is, at least we eating good next year like 2018.
Black Myth Wukong is true game of the year
Whether wukong is robbed or not but definitely western gaming award company has lost all their credibility.
China shouldn't keep hope from this company. They should keep creating games for the people. That's it.
I will nether purchase nor Play any Western games from today. They are so jealous of China's game science.
