>GOTYSony paid and nothing you say can convince me otherwise
that shit is MID as fuck
desperate attempt to make people forget about concord
>>697125281im glad it was this and not the piece of trash chinkzoid trash
lol they must have paid a lot too
You didn't even play it, shut the fuck up
An 8/10 Mario clone is GOTY. The sad thing is I don't even disagree. I'd personally go Space Marine 2, but Astro was the best nominee.
Desperate attempt to get last quarter sales
>>697125281Go back to your woke ass Metaphor goyslop.
>>697125281>not a single thread on /v/ ever>I'm supposed to believe this is the most loved game in the world right nowsony unironically paid for this since they're desperate for their own mario
>>697125907I played Mario already
I genuinely didn't think they had the budget to pull it off. We saw how hard this game flopped, how nobody wanted to play it in Japan, and the fact that all discussion of this shit evaporated within a week or two. I guess the gameplan was to try to make people forget that Concord's the biggest flop of all time in media?
30 years
Well, at least the game awards outed themselves as the fucking fraud they are. But hey, I laughed my ass off.
>>697125281Journalists accounted for 90% of the vote.Astrobot is the only game they could beat on the list.
>>697125549this makes a lot of sense, and seeing the writing on the wall for the kikeman game lmao
>>697126432That explains your seethe
I normally would’ve told you to shut the fuck up BUT the fact that I just saw Cerny there sitting there is making me think you’re right
>>697125281It just goes to show how weak this year wasIt's a good game but GOTY is really streching it
>>697126708kek this
>>697125738filtered by a rat
>>697125281>Sony pays for that dogshit final trailer>Wins GOTYCalled it
>PLEASE BUY A PS5. WE HAVE GAMES. WE WON GAME OF THE YEAR.I guess PS5 is the Astrobot Station like the Bloodborne Station before it. I want Sony to succeed in the way that best suits gamers, but seeing that Naughty Dog movie slop has put a dent in any hope this might have brought.
>Gamespot is censoring tomatoes in chat
>>697126432No, this is different. It's Mario Galaxy, except they added the Sunshine hover that has no limit to make sure it's impossible to die. The real thing that sets it apart are the member berries. Remember that IP Snoy forgot 15 years ago? Here's a heckin' reference!
>>697125281Tomorrow's headline:>Sony drops bid for Kadokawa after expending all money on Dorito Pope's hype ad show
>>697125281A "holy shit" news indeed.
>>697125281I mean they had announcements all through the thing and announced new Druckmann fap material, ofcourse it was paid
>30 years of playstation>also so happens that their playstation mascot game wins gotyhmmmmmmmmmm
>>697125281Do single platform games often get game of the year?
>>697126784not only does it astroturf concord but it makes nintendo seethe
>>697125281Well, they did have front row seats so that’s prettt sus
>>697126708this makes too much sense
Youtube and Twitch comments were showing disagreement. I guess we all know it as 100% rigged
>>697125281Beats metaphor winning to be honest.
>>697126410They also paid for that bald headed bitch game to get hyped people thought it was fucking hl3
>>697125281imagine being as much of a faggot as op with the amount of shade the winners and the announcer threw at bean counters.most based speeches of the whole thing.
>>697125281>wukong wins, china #1 and gamer incels get to have another election victory>elden ring dlc wins and 'game' of the year becomes a joke for the rest of it's lifetime>give it to the generic platformer and anyone who complains is angry at the gay little robot doing the floss dance and looks retarded
PLEASE FORGET ABOUT CONCORD>PLEASE FORGET ABOUT CONCORDPLEASE FORGET ABOUT CONCORD>PLEASE FORGET ABOUT CONCORDPLEASE FORGET ABOUT CONCORD>PLEASE FORGET ABOUT CONCORD
>>697128374>black female protag (new IP)Fuck Sony
>>697125281>Nintendo does the same shitREEEEEEE!
>>697126620They did that with the very first one, back when it was still on Spike TV./v/ even made the /V/GA because it was so obviously fucking rigged.
>>697126708Oh God you're right
>>697125281Uh oh, melty melty!
I played this shit and even think it's a good game but this is fucking ridiculous. Rigged as fuck.
>Geoff teases HL3 throughout the show>The Onimusha leak said HL3 would be there >Geoff says the final announcement is "the biggest holy shit moment in gaming">It's just a fucking shitty Druckmann trailer >Followed immediately by Sony paying for GOTYI genuinely feel sick bros...I'm so tired of modern gaming
Decent game in a bad year. UFO 50 would have been the better indie nomination over Belatro but the voting panel is probably 70 percent listacle writing pajeets at this point
I thought Astro Bot was VR
>>697125281Cry harder, tendie. Astro chads WON.
>>697129326>sony ads everywhere>biggest trailer is a sony game with sony product placement all over the trailerno shit
>Tendie cope>Fatlus cope>Chinaman cope
>>697125281
>>697125281I totally agree. Geoff already got A BIG FAT CHECK FROM SONY! TGA lost its relevance.
>>697126432Of course you did, tendie cultist.
>>697125281How did some shitty robot platform game beat a 100 hour rpg?
>>697125281if microsoft didn't have the marketing rights to metaphor they would've given it to that. it's pathetic how obvious sony paid for this.
>>697127203>I want Sony to succeed in the way that best suits gamersnah FUCK OFF!!
>>697129623astrobot is actually the one that would've made me seethe the least and I enjoyed the game but even I know this was done to hide concord's corpse
>>697125281I mean it's the only game on the list that fit these criteria.
>>697126410There were dozens of organic threads.Wukang had literally 0 non-shill threads
>>697126708>>697125281Sony? Paying off people? No way!
>>697129859By paying the most
Get fucked. This is your god now.
People who oppose it winning goty never played it. The game is fantastic. Fun levels, great music and cute characters. It oozes soul and shows how much fun the developers had when making it.
>>697129964Xbox tranny having a melty.
>>697125738Same, everyone would’ve been shitposting about Chinese superiority or something, would’ve been annoying as shit
>>697130043Nope, it is just another generic platform slop.
>>697129603I guess that means that Concord didn't hurt their finances too much. Or at least all the other releases made up for it.
>>697130257It is mario tier and mario can be fun but isnt goty ever.
>>697130136They don't need to pay off journalists, having a strong ugly woman kill the man that represented the old guard of gaming was enough for them to give it a 10. It was the ultimate journalist pandering moment.
>why don't they love me Papa?>Fear not my child, I will MAKE them love you
>>697130035>but even I know this was done to hide concord's corpseNice Cope.Astrobot was simply the only good (not great) game that came out this year.Hell with Erdtree the DLC being onThe Pizza Tower Noise Update should have swept the entire fucking award show.
>>697130457Nah, its desperation;its purely to pull in investor money, for shareholders. it probably affected them a lot, especially with that other concord like game that's probably about to flop soonthe bank robbing one idr what its called
>>697125281I don't even doubt this game is good but it's dead obvious that Sony paid for accolades. I don't know a single person irl who played this (to be fair, most of my friends aren't retarded enough to own a PS5), 90% of ecelebs were backing some other game like Balatro or Wukong, no normalfags on xitter talk or care about Astrobot. Even on /v/ the only people happy about it are just laughing at how much it winning makes people mad. What a joke
>>697130167
>>697129326agreed
>/v/ mad that a game with no politics, woke agenda, shilling, a legit passion project won goty/v/ is dead
>>697125281I know this year was weak, but it wasn't THAT weak. Game Awards has lost any credibility with this.
how is this different from when it takes two won the goty>>697126432so you are a pathetic drone uh?
>>697125281Why didn't they pay any other year?
>>697125281it's and actual game op, not just reused boss fight #48 or slop plot with 10h of cutscenes
>>697128763CGI trailer with no gameplay isn't circled?
>>697130316Maybe, but the point is that it's simply better than the rest.
>>697130880>No shilling>All ads were Sony heavy>Final announcement was hyped up as the biggest thing ever, and it was a Sony game>Goty is a Sony game >No shilling
>>697130880>astro bot>no shillingcome on now
>>697130880/v/ isn't, resident chinks are.The steam stream immediately jumped 2000 viewers when wukang lost and was immediately flooded with bot spam.It's literally just chink bots.
>>697130985Gotta make back the money from Concord
>>697125281>this won GOTY meanwhile Stellar Blade didn’t even win best OSTto be expected honestly but still goes to show just how retardedly heinous the judges tastes are
>>697131046Nah, BALATRO and BLACK MYTH: WUKONG DESERVE IT.
>>697130880Wait till you hear about the company behind it
>>697130880Nobody played astro bot. This is the most skilled GOTY in the history of GOTYs.
>>697125281>Elden COCKRING was given special exceptions >remake/remaster slop given special exceptions >Winner is the original IP Scrimblo Yup, gaming is healing
>>697131361>winner is the corporate advertisement
>>697131361You also forgot>Chinese were even allowed after threatening the staff and botting last year's poll
>>697125281NewsflashPopular game show is riggedMore at 11
>>697131346>nooooooooooooooooooo the bubble I'm part off didnt have the free game
>>697125281Probably paid more than China, lol
>>697125549the place was bought for concord but they didn't know it will flop hard
>>697131271"best experience across all CREATIVE and TECHNICAL fields"
>>697125281Basically Astrobot took over all the nominations meant for Concord.
>>697130880/v/ is just /pol/ lite. Sony is gonna make more of these types of games now. Absolutely good news.
>>697130691>not greateven you admit it lmao.also what am I coping for? i said i played it you fuckwit..
>>697125281Sony paid them to praise Nintendo and subtly tell Sony "you need to remember your roots"? Because that's what they did in their speech
>>697131630>>697131551holy shit you're probably right
>>69712528190% of Journos agree, being paid for your votes is GOTY!
>>697131614Astro bot is not creative at all. RIPPED OFF MARIO
>>697131614Yeah, just like onions of war 2018...
>>697125281i don't own a ps5 but my brother does so i played this for maybe 2 hours. seems like a good game but the idea that this was GOTY is a complete joke
>>697126708Exactly. Winning a Geoffy is a bad thing because it's basically a seal of quality from game journos.
>>697125281>Sony supposedly lost trillions and lost even more when cancelling Concord>Now I am to believe Sony paid everything to make this game GOTY to 'recover' from Concordu wot m8?
>>697125281I've never heard anyone actually talk about this game organically. Like this game has no fans. Nobody played this and enjoyed it.
>>697125281I mean that's the only way it really makes sense. This game is mid trash.
>>697125281Wrong. Astrobot winning should be humiliating to Sony's executive team. They tried to kill Studio Japan. They tried to kill everything Sony was before the western takeover. I remember that quote from a review that said "Astrobot isn't a celebration, its a graveyard."Sure, I'll buy that. Astrobot is a necromancer, reanimating the corpses of Sony's sins to scratch and claw and tear down all the wrongs that were done to them. Even if nothing else comes from this; this is redemption. This is all of my favorite childhood games taking a stand against Western corporate Sony and telling them to their face that they were wrong. Fuck Sony.
>>697125281I Kneel Sonychads
>>697130880>shillingdude they shilled the living fuck out of this after Concord became the single biggest flop in vidya history
>>697131551>>697131630Aw ...dude...
>>697126708Wait so this doesnt meant this shit is rigged?
Lol v trannies are fucking mindbroken
>>697131739Yeah, 2024 was a fucking horrible year for videogames.No amount of chink seething will make your single player Dark Souls clone not a painfully astroturfed pile of shitNor will fucking Balatro actually be "good"
>>697125281I would've been okay if it's anything but Astro BotLike holy shit
Ahhhh the seethe is fueling me. I’m home. This is why I love going to /v/.
>>697131857Sony paid in advance. See >>697131551>>697131630
This really isn't that crazy if you've actually played the game. But I doubt you did, right?
>>697130167>Wukong lost to this
>>697132125KeepYourselfSafe
>>697130880>no shilling
>>697129502Sucks to be you. I got>VF 5>Shadow Racing>Onimusha>Okami 3>2 RGG games>Ninja Gaiden
>>697131857It's chinks, they have nothing.They're pretending the game is "woke by proxy" and "The awards were actually for concord"Chinks lost to the Japanese at the awards show they had like 30 ads at.
>>697131857Yes retard broYou don't throw that kind of money for the amount of adspace they got unless you're trying to appease to investors.Notice how nintendo and microsoft got like 1 ad reel? Nvidia too, AMD had a couple but they were 1 second mentionsCompanies doing well dont pay extra for ad space like that unless they're desperate to bring in investor captial
>>697132171no one did, shit flopped hard
>>697130257theres no point playing games that have no story or characters. I have a ps5 for ff7 rebirth and tried the free astro bot thing and got bored of it after 15 minutes
>>697131630holy shit..
>>697132053absolute irony of a snoy calling anyone a tranny
They literally praised Nintendo in their acceptance speech, and told Sony to remember their past
>>697125281>/v/ butthurt about the goty AGAINHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think the larian dude was mad too knowing the winner was shit
>>697130028What alternative do we have? Sony never learning their lesson and going under because of all the woke circlejerking? Do you really want Microsoft AND Sony just giving a half hearted effort and letting Nintendo go uncontested?
>>697132437>sad news as astrobot studio is laid off
>>697132464It's not even /v/, it's chinks lmao
>>697127106>Free space was layoffsThat obvious huh? I honestly forgot they happened
>>697125281Microsoft have more money and more ads
>>697132058>Yeah, 2024 was a fucking horrible year for videogames.No it fucking wasn't.You're a pathetic shit-flinger.I enjoyed all these games this year, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few.Prince of Persia: The Lost CrownLike a Dragon: Infinite WealthTekken 8Granblue Fantasy: RelinkPersona 3 ReloadHelldivers IITomb Raider I–III RemasteredBalatroFF7 RebirthUnicorn OverlordDragon's Dogma 2Rise of the RoninStellar BladeFront Mission 2 RemakeNine SolsShadow of the ErdtreeBlack Myth WukongVisions of ManaAstro BotSpace Marine 2Lollipop Chainsaw RepopUFO 50Silent Hill 2 RemakeMetaphor ReFantazioDragonball Sparking ZeroSTALKER 2Path of Exile 2

>>697132374>theres no point playing games that have no story or characters.
>>697131630This, jokes aside, this is the only logical explanation, however, I keked so hard bro, these GA were pure gold
>>697132493kek you're probably right>i know whos winning in advanced>speech that basically boils down to "fuck corpos">CORPO GAME WINS!!
It's more that there just weren't good candidates for GOTY this year. All of the nominees were mediocre. At least this one is an old fashioned video games with no politics or fag shit.
>>697132125It’s genuinely fucking hilarious LMAO. How can people be so mad at a cute platforming robot game?
>>697126708Anyone remember last of tranny 2 winning?

>>697131857>TrillionsIt was $800 mill And yss, the trillion dollar company did do thatLet me remind you, ALL of Sony's live service shit has flopped the past generation. And what do they keep doing?Throwing more money to make more
>>697132783>theres no point playing games that have no story or characters.Jesus Christ /v/ is dead
>>697130880A lot of it is Redditbirth and Redditphor fags angry that they lost GOTY.
>>697132963>do i fit in yet guise>i even posted the seinfeld man
>>697125281Look on the brightside.Sony still has to release Fairgame$.
>>697132953/v/ hates Sony and consolewar faggotry.
>>697133067>UNIRONICALLY POSTING DLC AS A GAME>ACCUSING ANYONE ELSE OF TRYING TO FIT IN ON /V/
>>697125549yeah, those no other explanation. They lost their ASSES on concord, money and face.
>>697132437that was very based and he made it obvious he was told not to say that lel
>>697132941>>697132953>>697132214>>697132125>>697132053really gets that noggin joggin
>>697133041But they have a point, these awards are so rigged thatbis kind of amazing they aren’t hiding their corruption anymore. Still I keked my ass off.
>>697132374Trash bait
Concord never existed. It's all in your head.
>>697133187>expansion pack for a game isn't a game because I said
>>697133187ur retarded
>>697125281Turok origins reveal was disappointing
>>697132291>I got slop and memberberries, I'm a well-fed goy pigOK.
>>697133490>expansion pack for a game isn't a gameYes. It's an expansion pack.
>>697130316You lost and got raped, tendie.
>>697133808fuck off retard
>>697133808fucking idiot stop posting
>>697133490correct it's an expansion pack that's unplayable on its ownelden ring nightreign is its own game so it passes
All this seethe is delicious. Souls-like spergs are truly the most delicate snowflakes.
>>697134001see>>697133892
i guess TW3 blood and wine isn't a game ether
>>697133490you yourself just called it an expansion pack for a game, if it was a game you'd just call it a game
>>697127289>Sunshine hover that has no limitKINO
>>697131046I cant believe snoys think a mario rip off is better than any of the games listed there
>>697126708This is exactly why Nine Sols wasn't even nominated. It was too hard for them all.
Square Enix paid money to Bandai Namco for this right? But don't you shit on your future consumer money when you take this kind of offer? Clive is like 10 times less popular/infamous than Noctis was.
>>697125281sony is a japanese company, japs have a blood feud with chinks, no way they'll let a chink company win goty
>>697131630Pretty much. Had Concord did just decent enough financially, Astrobot would've only been nominated in the family/adventure categories only.
>>697134206it's still a game you playstop being retarded
>>697125281Concord.
>>697134557>telling a shitposter not to be retarded
>this shit actually won
>>697134645you're right..
>>697133892>>697133972>>697134557If you need the base game to play it, it's not a game.Elden Ring is a game. Shadow of the Erdtree is an expansion pack.
>>697125281Astro Bot sucks but at least it fucked over Palworld
>>697125281Its so fucking lame. In desperate and blatantly obvious attempt to dodge SM2 and/or Wukong, since those are only two decent actual games this year, they throw it to random shovelware. How can anyone take this shitshow seriously?
dont forget the original schedule
>>697125281it was fun, I liked 100%ing all of itbut yeah it definitely was paid off lol It's not THAT great
>people still watch The Shill Awardsyou get what you deserve
>>697134912Wukong sucks dude
>>697134814>Shadow of the Erdtree is an expansion packWhich is a shorter version of you game, which in and of itself is still a game, albeit part of a bigger game. It's still a game you play.
>>697135109>still replying to that retard
>>697134912DeiWorld
>>697134557if I buy the """game""" I cannot play it
>>697135109fine I'll stop
>>697125281in my mind they paid for concord to win cause they spent hundreds of millions on it. so when it flopped they shifted it over to astro bot. maybe they couldn't get the money back
>>697135109This. Fortnite should be nominated every year because chapter whatever the fuck they're on makes it a new game.
>>697125281I'll convince you right away it's not that sony paid. It's that the people who had 90% of the votes couldn't stomach anything else. Do you really think the people from Pride.com and others had time to play FF, Elden Ring, Black Myth or Metaphor? No was the only other game they knew, and they knew he weren't allowed to vote Balatro.
>>697129645Grim
>>697135284100% this. Remember Concord still has to appear on that shitty show or whatever about vidya. They really thought it was gonna be groundbreaking. Unfortunately, the only ground it broke was being the single biggest failure in vidya history. Hence Astroturf Bot.
If sony bought this years game awards, why not make redditbirth win? That's a sony title as well and would be more believable than astro bot
>>697135390
>>697135442I know Sun Tzu said to not interrupt your enemies when they're making a mistake but stop being so obvious you retarded chink.
>>697135073still better than some fagbot
I'm at least glad Elden Ring didn't win with that cashgrab "sequel" they're pushing out for it. The game deserves to have its reputation, uh, tarnished.
>>697125281Nah, it's actually a fun game with some neat physics and attention to detail. It wouldn't win in a year that was stacked, but everything else this year was either shit or a massive disappointment.
>a lot of people wanted the indie darling game to win>Swen gave a big corpo bad speech>Sony's IP ad game wonheh, it's like pottery
>>697135591I agree that your logic is retarded.
>>69713270190% of the games are Japanese/Korean/Chinese kek Yep thats why people are mad.
>>697125281>PaidRetard, Sony is a major contributor to TGA and have 80% of all the websites in their pocket to begin with (with half of those being owned by IGN, which Sony is also a major contributor for). It's been this way since last year. They don't need to pay for anything when Geoff is their bitch to do as they please.
/v/ is so boring today.
>>697135284I wouldnt give them any shill money back if it was me either. lol. Not my fault or problem they axed it after two weeks.
>>697135607You're just mad Veilguard wasn't on the list kek

Nintenbro here who hasn't really touched Sony hardware since the PS2 and PSP and some PS3. Astro Bot looks really fun and if I had a PS5, I would play it. I generally like PlayStation before the PS4.
>>697125281>Sony paidYes, for Concord. They thought it was going to be the next big thing.
>>697135917What cope? I like Astro Bot, but even a retard would know it's obvious it was used to clean up Concord's remains.
>>697136052>but even a retard would know it's obvious it was used to clean up Concord's remains.You'd have to be retarded to come to this conclusionA retarded Chink.
>>697136192>You'd have to be retarded to come to this conclusionWhy? Sony has EVERYTHING planned for Concord's success that they had to destroy.
>>697131630This.
>>697125281>yeah guys sony paid for astro bot to be goty after they spent several years fucking over japan studios/team asobi just to cover up concord???
>this threadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-R3LzEtumg
did everyone really wanted that chinkshit game to win?
>>69712985910hrs vs 100hrs of midslop, do the math

>>697130316Why do you stupid fucking third world shitposting monkeys not realize that slop isn't a countable noun?
>>697130880>> a game with no politics, woke agenda, shilling, a legit passion project You literally just described every game nominated for GOTY this year
>>697137776What the fuck are you talking about?
>ARRRGGHHH I CANT BELIEVE THE HIGHEST RATED GAME OF THE YEAR WON -some retard on /v/ who didn't even play it
>>697131551Dude, I think you got it.
>>697136759Astro bot is simply more widely liked by every different variant of person.
>>697138114Balatro and Astro Bot only>But final fant9 > 7
>>697137148The Electoral College should have been expanded to the state level DESU.
>>697131614Balatro is very unique. How is it less creative than Sony's clone of Mario?
>>697126708Explain CISquisition, TW3, ER, and BG3 then..
>>697126410It is legitimately a good game, but it is the kind of legitimately good game that has traditionally been completely snubbed at this kind of games awards and that would maybe get a pity nomination in 'good art' where a game like Hellblade takes the category because blood and paint on girl face is real, MATURE art.
>>697125281I loved Astrobot, but they really did pay for it this year and it shows.
im a PC and Xbox person, bros. am i just out of touch? ive never even heard of astro bot. nobody streams it either…hell the 100% walkthrough on youtube is only 6 hours longif i got on playstation is everyone just playing astro bot every day? like over and over? would my entire friends list just be grinding astro bot every day?
>>697125281>mario but with funko pop aestheticNo shit sony paid for it lmfao, noone believes a bing bing wahoo kiddie garbage deserves goty in a year with Eldtree
kek tendies are having a cope meltdown tonight
>>697139234yes i can confirm most the people playing PSN are astro bot grinders. have 2 friends working on their 50th and 103rd playthroughs rn
>>697139445It's the chinese actually. Geoff hurt the feelings of the chinese people.
>>697137428Reminder that astroturd sold only 1.5m after 3 months, meanwhile that 2d zelda sold 3 millions in just 2 days kek
>>697139445just like snoys when gow lost lmao
Nintendo Lost
PC port when?
>>697135837It would be the same shit if card game won. It would be boring as fuck.The only winners that could provide real entertainment would be metaphor/ff7/wukong, it's a fucking fact. But you guys didn't listen.
>>697139742And they deserved to lose. They had nothing of relevance to show this year, ant ToTK was dogshit last year.We'll probably see a ton of top-tier games with the release of the Switch 2, but they'll gave to compete with GTA6 so good luck with that.
>>697126620They already do that literally every year when every esports award goes to LoL, T1, and Faker
>>697132648Games are getting worse and more layoffs is unironically the only way to fix it
>>697130880I think there's just a LOT of Sony resentment here nowadays (rightfully so) to be fair Astrobot is the first good thing they've put out in years (developed in Japan...go figure)
>>697139310>funko pop aestheticYou know an actual funko pop game came out this year, right?
>>697125281the best part is that astrobot won't get more than say 200k sales off of this because no one is buying a ps5 for this garbage.
>>697125549
>why 80 metacritic game can't win gotyIt was nominated only for the chink audience bait, which in itself was a miracle for the game.In fact, all games except Wukong are above 90 metacritic, indicating that monkey is out of place and nominated based on completely different criteria compare to other games.
>>697136501>astro bot was made by nips anywayIs what they want you to think. It was a french studio in reality.
>>697141550kek
>>697125541Metaphor looks KINO as fuckHaven't played it, but I'm mad for it
Rayman and Tomba
>>697141550>>697141730>if you go to playstation.com/boob it shows astrobot>They aww trying to make you forget about boob because they are woke american pigdog
>>697125549Was the easiest prediction of the yearAlso>Saves new Naughty Dog reveal for end >Over new From game>The Witcher 4>New Okami game>New Onimusha (sp?)And gaslight everyone to think it HL3 so everyone sees itI fucking hate Sony and that faggot Geoff so much its unreal
>>697142196yeah this year was 100% Sony sponsored
>>697142196Hope that shit bankrupts them>Tripling down on ugly characters
More people are shitposting the Naughty Dog trailer than responding to GOTY bait. I don't think I've ever seen GOTY posting disappear from the board this quickly. What a nothing game.
>>697142578Chinks have no real ammo to actually complain about astro bot, of course the Druckman Inc game is going to get spammed.>Posting fucking biden like it had ANY memetic energy
>>697127619>Game is about look at all these franchises we either abandoned or just don't even own because all we do is westernslop over-the-shoulder cinematic shit nowadays.>Wins "GOTY"I don't care for westoid awards but this will make the snoys jump for joy, sadly.
>second worst selling game out of all nominees wins GOTY (only 1.5m copies sold lmao)>Helldivers 2 somehow wins the best multiplayer despite the PSN controversy and developers literally ruining the game so hard everyone stops playing>last big reveal is naughtydog's cinematic bullshit game that they will rehash next 10 years>all in same year sony got 30th anniversary and concord happenedit's just coincidence bros.
>>697143507Yes it is a coincidence your retarded chinks keep mentioning Concord like that's actually a factor.
>>697125281This game was a nothingburger
>>697125281>GOTY thread is dead as fuckAstro Bot is so fucking uninteresting it doesn't have sycophants nor doomposters.Honestly was this the worst TGA of all time?
>>697143768No that would be 2021, the winner was it takes two
>>697143768Snoys are so low energy over this that this is the only active thread on the entire board.
>>697143768The threads are dead because there's 0 ammo to actually bitch about the game so astroturfing are spamming about the bald bitch from the skinwalker studio claiming to be Naughty Dog who should probably be charged with fraudulent advertising by continuing to use the branding and claiming to be the people who worked on Crash and Jak.
>>697143768Yes. I'm not even exaggerating when I say there was not a single interesting thing announced this year and I am usually overly positive about this event.Jason Schreier is a bitch.
>>697143921Josef's game was good though
>>697138798>actual sane person on /v/well there's a surprise
No, games are just so dogshit now that what would pass as a typical platformer from the early 2000's gets GOTY.
>>697143768>Honestly was this the worst TGA of all time?probably. never seen a TGA like this one where there is literally 0 reacton on ANY website. legit no one gives a singular fuck.
>>697125281we already now the gay awards are bought by sony but at least it was actually a good game and not some wokeslop
>>697130880nigger astrobot is literally a giant ad in the guise of a game.I like that a 3D platformer won because we need more of those, but the spot was clearly paid
On the one hand, it's nice that a well made platformer won.On the other hand, I kind of hate Astro for how much of a soulless dead-eye'd Funko franchise it is.
>>697125549never forgetnever forgive
>>697143768It's pretty objectively a really well made game. And it's also really bland, and hard to love.I'm happy for it, I guess. I'm glad the message is being sent that people want more games like this, and less like Concord.
>>697137428The devs even thanked Nintendo for being their inspiration, there's no need for this console war shit
>>697125281this kiddie game only proves this year was SHIT
>>697145760It honestly felt like a jab at nintendo
>PRODUCT PLACEMENT WON VIDJA OF THE YEAR>REMEMBER TO BUY A GAYSTATION TO PLAY OUR GAYSTATION EXCLUSIVES.
I've noticed a trend when streamers played wukong, so all of their viewers wanted wukong to winbut they never streamed astro bot so their viewers got mad when astro bot won
>>697126017Yea this was a pretty shit year. Astro butt kind of had it in the bag because it sucks off the industry and there wasn't an obvious pick me like baldurs gate
>>697146392>because it sucks off the industryBecause it was actually fun.
>>697146327i watched a streamer play astro bot and thought>wow thats a forgettable game.
>>697125281I still can't believe the dev just went on stage and said he was inspired by mario
>how dare sony close japan studio? they should keep them to make more gamey games>japan studio's spiritual successor makes a gamey game>NOOOOO HOW COULD PEOPLE LIKE THIS? RIGGED AWARDSlmao
>>697146545Thing is nobody who had an issue with Japan Studios are the people complaining about this.It's literally all chinks.
>>697130880>shillingthis game is a graveyard for series that sony abandoned anon. it's quite literally just shilling
>>697133490>expansion pack for a game isn't a gameyes
I played this game on my friend's PS5 and I really don't get the hype. What makes it fun or GOTY?
>>697146906you have to like video games
>>697146508Like I said. Even when Nintendo has absolutely zero presence and loses last year's goty...they still win anyway kek.
>this game I didn't play doesn't belong to the company I pledged loyalty to, that means the award must be rigged
>>697146762>Game is a bunch of games from dead franchises you can't buy>It's shilling
>>697146956I like video games. I thought it was a decent 3D platformer in terms of gameplay but that is it. Why is it good? Why does it deserve GOTY?
>>697146906Its the first mario game many snoys have ever played, a real video game is new and novel to them
>>697142196That shit was inexcusable
>>697126410>Threads on nintendoboard
>>697146545>Japan Studio spiritual successor>was made to do a tech demo for PS5 controller and shit>later turn into bing bing wahoo>filled with references and #ads for other IPsThey should just remain buried...
>>697146906>What makes it fun or GOTY?nothing. it won because sony bought the award
>>697147060it's not shilling a specific product but rather the brand. nostalgia bait is a better term if you'd like it
>>697142559all you have to do is literally nothing and they go under
>>697147256Yeah. That's what I thought. It wasn't fun or even innovative in the charming way that it takes 2 won GOTY. This was just felt like an inferior Mario.
>>697147202jokes aside isn't that exactly what he means? you didn't post a thread because you assume that nobody likes it, which in turn shows that nobody was that interested on it
>>697146762>when nintendo exploits dead franchises like earthbound, star fox and f zero to milk nostalgia in smash bros and shove several fire emblem clones to literally promote their new games it's wholesome>when sony actually pays homage to classic games that haven't been milked to death it's badleast hypocrite tendie
>>697143768There's the three people who are so desperate that they are hoping astro bots success will translate to increased chances of an ape escape revival.
You can tell it was bought since nobody made a concord joke
>>697142196
>>697147357>It's some other bad thing, you have to hate itLaying it on a little thick there.
>>697125907Nobody played it lol
It's funny how Swen wasted his "saved credits from last year" to make a speech about making soulful games only for this shit to win GOTY
New cope is that since the devs like mario games, that means they totally cowered and bowed to nintendo and nothing else matters.
>>697147508>nintendo out of nowherelol
>>697137787Metaphor beat Rebirth in both Best Narrative and Best RPG. Making the SE schizos seethe is enough of a victory.
>Mario clone gets a GOTY title>Mario itself has never gotten one>Astrobot sold far less than Mario>nobody playing it online or even talking about the gameThat shit was obviously bought. Same shit as Horizon: no discussion about the game, nobody played it; yet they kept shilling it. No organic popularity.
>>697147604I'm giving you an alternative name for it. it works effectively the same
>>697147495No, because you bings shitpost and even pay pajeets to shitpost other threads
>Studio with only white guys>win GOTYIt's that easy
>>697130167For people who didn't play this game, the void levels are just for opening the challenge stagesThis webm is as cherrypicked as possible
>>697139742Nintendo didn't even compete this year. They live rent free in your mind.
>>697148248you're not supposed to tell the truth now snoy ninjas are after you good job
>>697125281FF7 Rebirth not winning some of the awards astrobot somehow got is the real travesty. At MOST Astrobot gets best family game/sound design. But holy fuck best "game direction" AND "action/adventure"? Please fuck off, the director of FF7Rebirth is a miracle worker
>>697148248Tendies dont talk about their games its just the same trannies spamming the same low quality porn/erp threads
>>697148198we all know tendies are shitting themselves over not winning shitdon't even try to fool anyone but yourself
>>697128763You can circle Tencent dickriding actually, that guy they had on was a Tencent employee.
I think it's pretty obvious Geoff is a snoy who did it for free.
>>697143768>this goty sucks there's no mentally ill people shitting up the board with garbage about the gamedoes neo-nu/v/ really?
>>697126708has beating a game ever stopped them from dick sucking the cinematic AAA slops before?
>>697147869I mean it's pretty weird for him to say that, and in a non console war way. He said a little bit more than just liking Mario, he praised Nintendo fro no reason and said that Mario inspired his game. Why the fuck would he say that? What benefit does that bring to his game or to Sony? If I had to bet he's mad at some suit and wanted to make them mad
>>697125281Astroflop? More like astroforgotten.
>>697147357>it's shilling the brandBut in order to play it, I've already had to buy into the brand..?It's advertising to me the console(s) and game(s) that I've already bought?
>>697148392you can just admit that you're obsessed anon
I think it's telling that "best family game" also won "game of the year" instead of "best action game". Shit, even the announcer was like "wow, I didn't know people cared this much about family games."
>>697131630Not really surprised if that was actually the case since the majority of the VGA was basically a poorly disguised Sony State of Play celebration event. Plus the moment they decided to use Concord Naughtydog edition as the final game announcement over the likes of the Witcher 4 and Okami 2 was when I knew Astrobot (possible Concord stand in) was gonna win.
>>697143507Solid proof that it's Snoy up to their usual tricks. And we know Geoff is a SNOY since he defended the PS5 Pro
>>697125281OH NO NO NO NO
>>697148684Is this true? Then how come I can't afford a PS5 but I almost bought two PS1s?
>>697148684kojimmy loves the sony console, develops almost exclusively for it, is friends with Geoff. Its not news that Sony has their hands all over TGA
>>697148623the way I see it, and that's my personal opinion, it works in a way that you can show your loyal returning costumer those series he's familiar with and show to new players the "playstation family". every PS5 comes with that VR astro game so I imagine that the people getting into the ecosystem would at least know him even if they didn't play the game, but now a new game comes out showing 30 years of playstation history, and new costumers get to be a part of that as well. I don't know if it makes sense for anyone else but that's how I see it
>>697148797OH HOH HOH HOH HOH
>>697143507>sales mattering ever>third worlders being filtered from mp makes the mp bad>concord being shit and a flop has nothing to do with astrobotDidn't even play astrobot or have a ps5, but you're just a crybaby, lol. Keep seething chinkoid.
>>697148947>sales mattering everand awards given by journos do?
>>697125281>Pure videogame stomps woketranime game, chinkslopDeserved win.
>>697125281I might fucking actually play the thing now, when it's not full price. PS5 is not where I go for platformers but it's a very interesting choice as GOTY.And also goes to illustrate how shit 2024 was game-wise.
>>697148301the only people paying pajeets is MS
>>697125281it should have been wukong
>>697142578>I don't think I've ever seen GOTY posting disappear from the board this quickly. What a nothing game.No, it just speaks to how irrevocably rotted /v/ has become with culture war poisonNothing is more important to this board
They didn't have to pay, this year had no games
>>697149067>NO THEY NEEDED TO PANDER TO ME BASED ON METRICS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH QUALITY!!!!It's funny seeing how if the journalists you're shitting on gave the game you wanted GotY you wouldn't be crying about their decision.
>>697149185it's a pretty milquetoast platformer
>>697125281In it's defense, Astro Bot is the brightest and bubbliest advertisement for a graveyard Ive ever seen
Astro Bot winning was the second best outcome, an indie like Balatro winning would have shook the industry to its core but Astro Bot was the next best choice to show the industry that people want labors of love with no MTX or monetization bullshit. It doesn't need to be an 100 hour long padded game, Nintendo already knows this and does this but it's time for the rest of the industry to do the same.
>>697126410>if retard doesn't see them then they never happened They did happen, just not lot because this is an anti-snoy board and tendieboard.
>>697149298wukong won both the player's choice VGA and the golden joystick. it's pretty clear who's that game that the people liked. and who can blame them, since nobody even played astrobot
>>697126592but enough about metafart
>>697149437>this game won a botted poll and another botted pollLmao, keep crying you little bitch.
>>697125281It was the only game in the list that didn't have 1000 glitches and low quality assets.
>>697149185It's fun>>697149320Better than most Mario, Sonic and Crash games but go on tendie.
If you retards would actually use your brains you would realise this was actually the voters signalling to Sony that less movie games are wanted and instead more actual gameplay focused games are wanted. You're all so fucking stupid.
>>697149185It'll be free in a few months.>>697149256BOTW still has daily threads seven years after it came out even though half of them are created by a buck broken schizo
>>697143768Here's a list of every other GOTY>2014 Dragon Age Inquisition >2015 The Witcher 3 >2016 Overwatch>2017 Breath of the Wild >2018 God of War>2019 Sekiro>2020 The Last of Us Part II >2021 It Takes Two>2022 Elden Ring>2023 Baldur's Gate III>2024 Astro BotYeah Astro Bot is like a bottom turd compared to the rest. Every other game was either insanely popular for that year or incredibly innovative. Astro Bot was like "yeah this game is fun!" for a few weeks and everyone moved on. Only It Takes Two competes for the worst
Geoff, you son of a bitch. What have you done?
>>697149247Said no one who isn't a chinkshill.
>>697149573It's funny how we've completely run through botting and its impacts on user polls and the chinese are too stupid to realize that.
>>697149550is this supposed to be a difficult stage? it looks like baby mode compared to champion's run and the shit Odyssey threw at us
>>697149704>Dragon Age Inquisition>It Takes Two>insanely popular or innovativeEspecially the latter, it only got popular after it won.
>>697146545>Japan Spiritual Successor tries to make a new IP>Can't help but MCU it with REFERENCES REFERENCES REFERENCES
>>697149573>helldivers>critics choiceof course, because nobody in their sane mind would vote for the game that shat on its PC fanbase with a mandatory PSN account (PC players were the majority of the total player base), nerfed everything to the ground in multiple patches and lost 90% of their users in less than a year. Did you know that the game to this day is at a 74% on steam?
>>697149350I'd say the message of Astro Bot's win is stronger than Balatro would have been.Because it's a AAA game, a first-party Sony title.It's everything the modern industry isn't, forged right in the heart of that industry, and the bigwigs can't handwave it as just some left-field indie breakout like they would with Balatro.
>>697125281>90% journo vote
>>697149437The only awards wukang wins are the bot-able categories which 1B+ Chinese will spam Sad.
>>697148372Action adventure I I understand but best game direction? To FF Rebirth? Lol no fucking way That shit was a disaster direction wise
>>697149623see >>697149550it's an extremely simplistic game that usually doesn't require much thinking. it's the definition of milquetoast, even if you want to compare to there platformers. and it might as well be better than mario and sonic, which are games made for toddlers, but it's not better than crash
>>697149956>That shit was a disaster direction wiseexplain
>>697149704All I know is that I will never, ever play give another Witcher game a chance. First one sucked, second one sucked, third one sucked and the new one will suck. Foul franchises must die.
>>697149830>Did you know that the game to this day is at a 74% on steam?Am I supposed to give a shit? It got review bombed by third worlders because of PSN autism and the devs gradually having retarded updates. Game was still pretty fun>ok but it's not GotY materialSure, but neither is Wukong, Zhang.
>>697143768It was incredibly... whatever. I don't see anyone having strong emotions about this TGA no matter where I look.
>>697149932and astrobot won in the eyes of the same people that voted dragon age inquisitionSad.
>>697149810Imaging acting like Dragon Age wasn't an insanely popular franchise because you were too young to play it and only know the woke latest entry
I have 42 people added on the PS5 and it's only me and one other person that has the game and that other guy only has like 14 trophies. Most people I talked to don't even know the game fucking exists. It's a solid 8/10 if you enjoy platformers but holy ass clapping wing ripping 35 of the 42 people have played Wukong of which 22 have the plat for it.
>>697150031No I don't think I will.>NOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THATI can and I just did.
>>697150037>review bombedthere's no review bomb on steam as people need to buy the game to review. I'm sorry that PC players don't bow down to sony's every whim like some cucks but it's the truth>ok but it's not GotY materialit's not even a good game after launch. it shouldn't have won anything because the game became a disaster
>>697150195I accept your concession.
>>697150128I'm sure this is a good game, but I just have zero (0) desire to play this shit. And this is the mindset of almost everyone.
>>697150116You need to work on your reading comprehension
>>697150005Mario is good because anyone can play it and appreciate it's challenge. That's always been its core, and its why Astrobot is decent. However Astrobot isn't nearly as charming comparatively. It tries to pull on your heartstrings with fucking nostalgia bait that isn't even on par with Mario's callback ability.
>>697150084Astro Bot won because it's pure video game fun, no political BS. Cope and deflect for your mediocre game that has no legs outside of chyna.
>>697150116Dragon Age Inquisition was not a popular game, you ESL retard. And it was not anywhere near as popular as other games that came out that year like Mario KArt 8, Alien isolation, or Destiny, FAr Cry 4, Smash Bros, etc. The series' good will also died after 2, anyway. No one gave a fuck after that.
>>697150128I have never played this game nor a 3D Mario but this is the exact image I have in my head of what I'd see if I saw someone playing Mario on a Switch.
>>697150195so your opinion never mattered and FF7Rebirth had better direction than Astrobot. Confirmed. I knew it
>dev wants to thank Nintendo on stage>but says he is not allowed to mention them by nameKEK
>>697150031not him but the fact that they tried to pass the first part as an actual remake of FF7 and then decided to change the story and sell the game three times is pretty telling as of what direction it had. Rebirth was unsatisfying as a game because this entire idea is insane, and you can see that by the fact that the game bombed
>>697150416stop lying. nobody cares
>>697125281Yeah what GOTY sells only 1.5m? no one fucking played it but its apparently at the top of EVERY journalists list that TGA's choose as the jury.
>>697150503the game bombed because people dont want to buy a ps5, that's been the case for every sony exclusive game this entire generation
>>697150394You know that the sales wukong had outside of china were bigger than astrobot's worldwide sales right?
>>697150568>why are the people that played it saying it's good??A mystery
>>697150568OkamiActually I'm pretty sure that game didn't even sell a million yet when it won GOTY awards.
>>697150631there's already 60 million PS5s out there and SE couldn't report on a 2 million milestone like they usually do when their games do well. You can't blame all of that just on playstation
>>697150631ThisIt's not exactly a game that moves consolesHelldivers 2 would've been that game for me but technically my region isn't supported, plus hearing about the balancing issues made me stay awayI bought a Switch for Splatoon 2/3 but once I got tired of them the console stayed in the drawer
>>697150568>NOOO IT CAN'T BE SEEN AS BETTER THAN THE REST OF THE COMPETITION IT DIDN'T SELL AN ARBITRARY AMOUNT OF UNITS FOR IT TO COUNT!!!!!I don't even think it's that good, this year was just trash so I'm not surprised it won. Sales are irrelevant, too.
>>697149889Since it basically swept the awards, it would be hard to right it off as a fluke. I only hope that the industry can take it to heart but it might take a few years to see any impact from this.
>>697150658just shows how disconnect journalists are with reality. It's not like they could finish the other games anyways
>>697150809>>NOOO IT CAN'T BE SEEN AS BETTER THAN THE REST OF THE COMPETITIONIt shouldn't considering it isn't
>>697125549Honestly, I'd have voted Concord for GOTY.
>>697149889While I agree that direction-wise it's nice to see Astrobot win, it's still totally fucking soulless. It's "remember when our franchises had soul?"-the game. That's why I'm not that happy about Astrobot winning. Let's be honest for a second here. Nobody, genuinely nobody, gives a single shit about Astrobot. At most, they care about the references that Astrobot is making.
>>697150416*Wii
>>697150932What was better?
So, is Astrobot actually that good?
>>697150797Get Mario Kart desu, it's super fun. And Taiko no Tatsujin.
>>69715076960 million compared to over 100 million ps4s. People staying on ps4 because sony doesnt release many games for ps5, all PSPlus subs get mainly ps4 games for free with paid upgrades for ps5. Why would anyone buy a ps5 with a business negative economy like that? Only rich people and crazies bought PS5s until this holiday.
>>697150412Boy really must be embarrassing to be you right now huh To have your retardation out in your face, phew
>>697151105The sheer fact that you're asking this means their advertisement dressed up as an award ceremony has worked. No, it is not good.
>>697151105to me, yes
>>697151105NoIt's solid that's all
>>697151029>it's still totally fucking soullessYou couldn't be more wrong, it's absolutely bursting with love and charm>Nobody, genuinely nobody, gives a single shit about Astrobot.It's my GOTY and I really didn't think it'd win the real thing.
sony won!!
>>697151335It's just a reference machine anon calm down
>>697151392>Shit piece
>>697151267that's sales for the course for a hole decade anon. counting the times the game was discounted to $5
>>697151335>You couldn't be more wrong, it's absolutely bursting with love and charmBecause of the franchises it is referencing. Astrobot itself is totally, 100% soulless. No one can tell me they care about the Astrobot franchise itself; I simply won't believe them
>>697151105Yeah, it's a really fun platformer. Probably won't have anything in it that blows you away if you're used to 3D Mario games, but everything the game sets out to do it does at a high quality level.It definitely helps if you're old enough to have played and remember a bunch of PS1/PS2 games that haven't gotten new games in decades since the main collectable is robots dressed up as characters like Klonoa and Rudy.
>>697151129You'll find it weird, but I don't actually care about Mario shitBut I've been interested in Taiko for a while but I couldn't be bothered to buy a drum kit yetMaybe if I run out of things to play on PC
>>697151267>as of september 2024>game is a decade oldHey, retard nigger, want to look up how much it sold when it came out? Especially in comparison to every other game that launched that year?How fucking hard did you fail your English classes?
>>697151029I like the game in as much as it's a well made platformer (that lifts almost everything from Mario, admittedly), and in general I want these to do well and flourish.I do not like the game in as much as it furthers this meme that corporations seem to love, that everything should be a collection of crossovers and nostalgic references, in order to pull in the largest possible audience. That a piece of work shouldn't try to develop it's own characters and own universe, that are worth something just on their own merits. Why bother making Astro an endearing character, when he can wear a Crash hat, and people are pleased because they know who Crash is? This shit is really cancerous to creativity, past a certain point.
>>697136616>Miyazaki is made CEO of SIEThat would be such kino, but it would never happen.
>>697151068space marine 2, sparking zero, metaphor, wukong
>>697151521Taiko is fine with a controller desu. It's better if anything because fuck all that arm movement.
>>697151637lol
>>697148372FFtard, kill yourself to isekai yourself in FF. It works, I promise.
>>697151105It's pretty bad. Overly simplistic 3D platformer that has no difficulty whatsoever and often needs to do wagglan shit with your controller
>>697149704>>2021 It Takes TwoI don't care what anyone says, Psychonauts 2 was fucking robbed.
>>697151479>The game wasn't popular>Yes it was, here's sales>NO THAT DOESN'T FUCKING COUNT Every timeOne mill in the first week but still going with the not popular because you're a zoomer huh
>>697132701>good game>dont care>fighting game>gay anime fighting game>gay anime bullshit>fotm slop>remasters>Solitaire with bells and whistles>gay anime bullshit>gay anime bullshit>some how more unfinished and janky than dd1>ok game>gay anime bullshit>remake>good game>dlc>admittingly ok game>gay anime bullshit>good game but ps5 exclusive lmao lol>live service slop>remake>good game>lazy re2 clone desguised as a remake of silent hill>gay anime bullshit>gay anime bullshit>unfinished eruojank>1000 hour grindfest slopThis year was OK but youre vastly overestimating the quality of these games
>>697151591Why did you reply twice, I already saw your first one and answered it here loser>>697151795
>>697151214>Why would anyone buy a ps5 with a business negative economy like that?it seems that a good portion of the PS4 players did going by your numbers. why couldn't they buy the game, since there's nothing else to play on the PS5?
>>697151501I think the world and aesthetic they've built up is pretty cute and funI would've enjoyed playing it just as much without the cameos
>>697151727nah. you can try it for me, ill meet you there if i see you in the third installment
>>697151501I agree with this. I'm not exactly sure what it is about my psyche, but Astrobot just doesn't entice me. It's an anemic series. It could win one trillion GOTY awards and I would sitll never play it simply because it does not dare to introduce a unique identity.
>>697151795>it was super duper popular in 2014 based on 2024 cumulative sales>astrobot selling 1 million on one platform makes it a flop that no one played but DAI selling 1 million across four platforms makes it a massive insane success!!!!Lmao, you aren't making yourself look any smarter.
If Astro bot was a Mario game (because it is), where would people rank it? It's better than 3D Land at least, right? But not 3D World.
I tried Balatro and I didn't have fun. It's literally candy crush with roguelike elements.
I wasn't expecting Astro winning to make /v/ mad.What game was the majority of this board pulling for?
>>697151973It's 3D land with more gimmicks and less fundamentals, but it's fun enough for what it sets out to be
>>697151921>Astrobot hitting 1 million after 3 months Vs>DA hitting 1 mill in less than a week I don't think I need to do the math for you. You're just not winning this one loser kekBut hey keep em coming your cope is making everyone else laugh at you just as much as I am
>>697152084who is mad?
>>697152084The most vocal minority on this board is NOPs, so they had nothing they were rooting for. Astro Bot being the best platformer this generation also hurts their confidence because the last few Mario games have been so lackluster.
>>697152084We're not madJust bewildered by the obvious shilling. Had the industry really fallen so low to let Sony bully them into GOTY awards?
>>697131152What is this meme narrative? /v/ has always had a console war shitpost culture. You don't think if Spiderman 2 won last year it would've had the exact same effect based on sonyshit in itself? And /v/ always seethes after game awards.
>>697151795I know you think that's a gotcha but those numbers are nothing special for AAA games. anyways, the point was that the game was not "popular" specially since it reviews poorly with gamers. you can see the metacritic score for PC, which was lower than 7
>>697152195Bowser's Fury and Odyssey were perhaps lackluster but they're still better than like 99% of games out there.
>>697152114DAI was well below 2 million by the time TGA happened, comparatively it was still literally who game that no one played yet here you are trying to call one game a flop yet another a massive success despite one being exclusive and one being a multiplat and they have the same sales numbers.No, DAI was not "insanely popular" when it came out, you're retarded for trying to argue that it was.
>>697152195a small reminder that the astro bot dev kneels to mario
>>697152312>but they're still better than like 99% of gamesNOPs really believe this.
>>697152084It wasn't for the fact Astro won, it was more so and thanks to Naughty dog getting the final trailer billing over better and more hyped games such as Okami 2 was when the non normies found out Sony bought out the VGA awards blatantly. Another thing is Astrobot fans are finding out their win is tainted due to their spot was meant for Concord or so the "smart minded" individuals claim.
>>697152258I don't know, what is this meme narrative with you desperately trying to turn this into a console war shitpost thing.
>>697151847you could say this about any ps5 game yet astrobot won GOTY with less sales. weird, its almost as if it was a rigged show. Meaning FF7Rebirth deserved better because it had more work put into it and much more weight on its success over NostalgiaBot
>>697152273>No it wasn't popular>No those sales don't count that's after 10 years>No those sales don't count that's only after a week>NO SHUT UP IT'S NOT IMPRESSIVE FOR A TRIPLE A ANYWAYgenuinely amazing how sad it is you're coping and why do you keep double replying kek
>>697126708Metaphor on storyteller is skeezy
>>697126708>Only games journos can beat are GOTYIs this the case for all GOTY?
>>697152195>last few Mario games have been so lacklusterThere havent even been any Mario platformers since last year, and as far as other Mario games they consisted mostly of remakes or middling original games (Brothership).I don't intend to console war, but Astrobot is just pretty whatever. Nobody cares about Astrobot genuinely. At most they say to themselves: "Oh, a new Astrobot... that's cool I guess"
>>697152524>>697151795>DAI was extremely popular when it came out!!>no i won't post anything that backs up this argument, i'm going to post sales numbers from this year to cope about being BTFO like the ESL retard that I amlmao
>>697152195I mean, if you think the last few Mario games were Lackluster, I don't know what you're getting out of Astro. It is very much a Mario Galaxy come 3D World tribute game. It's THE same stuff. Maybe this hasn't been emphasized enough.And yeah, it's pretty good.
>>697152084What did you want to win?
>>697152436>odyssey>better than 99% of games out therehe's not wrong
>>697152607Elden Thing was GOTY 2022They accidentally admitted that already this thread, so it obviously doesn't hold up.
>>697152524>completely ignoring everything that is being said to himanon coping this much isn't healthy. let's summarize the points again. it sold like a normal AAA back in the day, it took a decade to sell 10 million units and user scores seem lackluster meaning that reception for it was poor. so by what metric is it popular exactly?
>>697152084Seems like people are more upset about Rebirth, Metaphor, Monkey Game and the Elden Ring DLC losing than astroshilled winning tbhwyf.
>>697152774Elden ring is the easiest souls game. it's pretty easy to make broken builds on it
>>697152472You tell me. I don't give a shit about the actual GOTY winner, I'm flabbergasted at you actively ignoring the fact that /v/ has always been pissy after this AND has always had a sony/nintendo shitposting contingent, and you're combining these two. You're telling me you don't remember the post award show threads in 2017/2018/2020 threads at all?
>>697126708kek
>>697152728Strictly speaking ALL games with how many games you could say exist, sure.If we're pruning mobile games and independent projects, I'd say the only Nintendo games that get any where up there in the list are Earthbound, Balloon Trip, Golf on NES, Kirby Air Ride and Brawl.Maybe Chibi Robo if you wanna call that Nintendo.
>>697152493The point wasn't GOTY, it was game direction.
>>697152524Fun fact, the figures you're taking aren't even from EA, they're from a website that was known for making up their own estimations and pulling numbers out of their asses. EA never commented on sales numbers for the game.
>>697152964>I don't give a shit about the actual GOTY winner
>>697153047for the game until this year*
>>697153047who would have thought that the massively misinformed retard just looked something on google and used the first result huh?
>>697152990no, im gonna say even console games are beaten out by Odyssey
>>697153071Why would I? I haven't played any of them barring Elden Ring but I skipped out on the DLC. Not that I think a DLC deserves to even be on the stage
>>697153030>was talking about sales numbers>now we're talking about directionmake up your mind
>>697153302MMHMMMMMMM
>>697125281>stop making games>10 years later>make B- Mario Odyssey ripoff>plaster it with 'member when ads le championing the games they made 10+ years ago>including ape escape>no ape escape game ever again (aka fuck you, fans of these games)>pay for it to win gotyI'm going to be honest, the amount of seethe this game causes me is unparalleled.
>>697134420Sony hasn’t been Japanese for years.
>>697126708This isn't even as funny as it is obviously true.
>>697153313go back in the chain of replies a little anon. I was arguing that the game bombed because of game direction towards the remake as a whole. I don't know why you mentioned the GOTY award at all
zhangbros..
>>697152084I can't say I'm mad, but Unicorn Overlord was easily GOTY for me. I'm not particularly concerned about TGA nor did I watch it.
>>697153030>>697153313>direction>astrobuttits a mario game with heavy nostalgia pandering as its ad campaign. Little direction was made>ff7rebirthits a complete reimagining of a 23 year old game that manages to recapture the feeling of its original, improve on some of it and modernize itlooks like a shoe in for best direction here
>0 awardsIt took people a while but I'm glad we can finally agree that Elden RIng was a completely sub-par game.
>>697153931you mean the DLC? it was pretty lame. The base game was great and deservedly won GOTY
>>697153931it won goty in 2022
>>697153509Well we're on /v/ and anonymous but you'll have to take my word for it at this point. I don't even like console wars but the point of what I'm trying to make is that /v/ seething is natural when the factors are accounted for.
>>697125281I think this was the lesser of bad games in a shitty year.Honestly the only thing bad you can say about it is.>Really short play time.>A bit self gratuitous with the PS5 branding everywhere.If you fixed those two things it would honestly be a decent game.It also feels kind of like an apology from Sony to their Japanese devs?Sony definitely paid for the slot this year, but they chose to give it to their Japanese team after concord’s failure.
>>697153748Sony is still japanese. SIE, the owner of PS, isn't, but they are still a subsidiary of Sony. More accurate to say that Playstation hasn't been a japanese-dominated brand in years but that doesn't really help your argument. If big papa comes out to play geopoliticalball for Playstation, the man that walks out is going to be 3 steps of separation away from the Yakuza.
>>697154279>It also feels kind of like an apology from Sony to their Japanese devs?For... destroying them and not making novel video games any more?You're right, the question mark is deserved and the answer to the question is no. They killed that shit like 2 years ago.
