Has there ever been a more blatant example of rigging?
>bait from 2024got nothing better to do?
I liked the game so I don’t care
>>719442797What did you think shouldve won?
The game awards have always been rigged you dumb fuck, it's a shill event first and foremost.
>>719442956wukong
it was a weak year
>>719442797Metaphor deserved the win.
>>719442996Bullshit. Wukong was straight up Unreal slop that ran and looked like hot dog shit. Not even close

>>719442996>6/10 souls clonelmao no

>>719442797Astro Bot WAS the GOTY, /v/ wouldn’t know because they don’t own a PS5
>>719443149>>719443181ignoring that you're factually wrong it doesn't even matter. in what world does that lose to a mediocre platformer for children?
>>719442797I'm so glad this game won.>>719443165Addict..
>>719443292It wasnt mediocre. It was the best platformer to come out in the last like 20 years or ever maybe.
>>719443292in what world should a boring souls clone set in yet another asian fantasy setting win?
>>719442797actual good choice for once>>719442996kill yourself chang
>>719443421>It was the best platformer to come out in the last like 20 years
>>719443529keep seething over it nintoddlller
>>719443421Has there even been more than 10 non-indie 3D platformers made in the past 10 years? Literally no one cares about this genre anymore.
>>719443529nice argument
>>719442797tlou2
>>719443574I dont know but it would absolutely whoop anything Nintendo has made in a long time though.
>>719442797>crying about this when the TLOU2 win is exists
>>719443582what do you think puts it over any other platformer? It literally copies sunshine and galaxy countless times
>>719442956Mario Wonder, obviously.
>>719443612Okay that's just cope.
>>719443640>what do you think puts it over any other platformer?in won GOTY
>>719443626ThisTlou2 was the worst game ever.
>>719443672so you dont have an answer, got it
>>719442797kek nintoddllers are still seething over this and it will be over E33 winning this year
>>719443653Its completely true. Nintendo was scared shitless
>>719443672checkmate
>>719443720you just didn't like it
>>719443721b a s e d
>>719442797TLOU2 and Deathloop
>>719442797Yeah, this one was bullshit. Metaphor and Rebirth were both better
>>719443721E33 is actually a good game though. Astrobot was pure slop. Not a nintodler either, I don't own a switch. I do own a PS5 though and I played astrobot with my son and the entire time I thought "this is shit". If it had come out when I was a kid and actually good platformers were being released constantly I'd never have bought it.
>>719443776>it deserved to win GOTY because it won GOTY>its better than other platformers because you didnt like it
>>719443648wrong year false flagger
>>719443851keep coping
>>719443845Metaphor has 0 gameplay and Rebirth was a garbage FF remake that wasnt worth half a shit
>>719443848>>719443917
>>719442797Deadlock astroturfing>Closed beta >Only generates hype with fan service marketing threads
>>719442797I enjoyed it. Didn't beat it yet. Got kinda sad you can't get an Aigis costume despite her being in the game.
>>719443917coping over what? your inability to give any reason its good?
>>719443845>Persona but gutted and far more boring>shitty third of a demake with Ubishit towers and story rape
>>719443987it's fun
>>719443987its fun and wonkeep coping lol
>>719442797The best game of the year wonWhy is that so hard for you /v/?
>>719443750>Nintendo was scared shitless>Mario Galaxy knock-off with Sony's dead IPs>scaredAstro Bot does nothing original, only reinforce Sony's insistence of keeping their old franchises dead by dangling them in front of Sony fanboys for nostalgia points.
>>719443845BASED
It won all the awards the Sony bought for Concord.
its so weird how FF7 Rebirth just got swept under the rug so quickly
>>719442797funko bot
>>719443927>Metaphor has 0 gameplay at least play games before you complain about them
>>719444047Yet Astrobot is better than anything Nintendo has ever made. Literally
>>719444092how so?
>>719442797Nope. They're really forcing this piece of shit down our throats.
>Persona but shitfuck Metaphor
>>719442797i mean when the first one was DRAGON AGE INQUISITION what did you expect
>>719444118they put all this effort, and the uk didn't even buy it
>>719444117It looks better, it plays better, its less overtly childish, it actually has achievements that save a clip of what you were doing when you got it, etc. The list goes on and on. Mario sucks. Its so last century
>>719444071100% this. Sony genuinely thought they had the next Overwatch. Also >>719444083
>>719444197>it plays betterplays like a mario game from the gamecube era> its less overtly childishLMAO
>>719444082There's nothing weird about it>Release 1/3rd of a game>At full price, so the full thing would be over $300>Also each installment is over 100gb>Short, full of pointless padding>Amateurish animations that don't justify the massive price>Terrible artistic choice for backgrounds and NPCs>Contradictory plot points such as the lighting lamps yet the lower portions of Midgar get a ton of natural sunlight anyway?>Completely ruined Sephiroth's reveal because they had to blow their load on a dramatic final boss in the 1st part>Unnecessary changes and additions to the plot that turned it into a meta-narrative instead of having any respect for the original message and theme.It's just a really, really bad cash-in on nostalgiafags.
>>719444118Is Astro Bot an actual game or is the whole thing just self-wanking over Playstation IPs?
>>719444273The latter.
>>719444118Corporate PersonifiedWhat happens when there are only Aloys and no Nathans left to "appeal" to gamers with? Will there be any more gamers?
>>719444179No one bought it.
>>719444273it's a real game
>Its quality doesn't matter because of SALES
>>719444289I wanted to like it so much, but it was one of the most disappointing game I've played in a long time. I don't care about the Fatlus bonus.
>>719444312Reminder Astro Bot was outsold in its first week by a Touhou rhythm game.
>>719444197>its less overtly childish
>>719444289>generic anime>best art direction
>>719444341this actually looks fun
>>719444341Looks like a pretty standard 3D platformer. Why was it sucked off so much?
>>719444289this image is so real
>>719444358>its the best because it steals mechanics from mario and won the pride.com awards
>>719444179I wanted to see more of that giant pinball machine because that's actually pretty cool, but there's literally ONE video of it on youtube. People couldn't be fucked.
>>719444418>It can't possibly have great art direction because it's anime!Too bad, fag.
>>719444341i don't look at this and think GOTY
>>719444436because for the past 20 years nintendo has been the only company producing 3D platformers of any note and people were tired of that
>>719444481this genuinely looks like shit
>>719444481why is this game such a fucking eyesore?
>>719444509then why did the devs thank nintendo for inspiring them?
>>719444532>>719444542This, where's the horse ballsack physics?
>>719444341and there's tons of challenging stages
>>719444532>>719444542Reminder these posters are the ones calling the new Falcom demake beautiful and wonderful.
Stellar Blade got robbed.https://youtu.be/JoUvrIzykm4?si=fqEsHjHpo_aRKTHF
>>719444589I hope to god youre joking
>>719443181post playtime or kys. nobody who played Wukong thinks it's a 6/10. it's not goty and not perfect but you're full of shit talking about a game you've never played
>>719444341>>719444589this is literally just super mario galaxy
nice to see tendies are still mindbroken by this a year later kek
>>719444582>>719444627i think it's the lack of proper aliasing - not the art direction
>>719444273On every cutscene appears either Alloy, Kratos, Dude Raider or all of them on first plane. Every single cutscene.
>>719444636>game where literally no ones cares about anything except the MC's tits and assin no world is this even a competitor
>>719442956Metaphor
>>719444669You say that like Astroflop gets any
>>719444589This is not one of them I take it
>>719444732but it also has good gameplay
>>719444636truth - I played this on pc and it was surprisingly good
>>719444748it is, and here's another
>>719444589>tons of challenging stages>when you have the most generous hover in the worldEven Mario Sunshine, a game I don't like, takes you away the ability to hover in the FLUDD-less levels and requires the player to use their own skills to beat the level. The hover makes this looks like a joke.
metaphor is single-handedly the most overrated game last yearnot bad just severely overrated as it's just a boring persona clone
>>719444792
>>719444792Super Mario Sunshine has more challenge than this, Galaxy would make you cry if this is a challenge.
why are fatlusfags so insufferable?
>>719444857they're weeaboos
>>719444273Well, um, you see...>>719444341I like how dead it looks.Static objects in a void as if slapped together in a level editor.I'm not sure what's more lame, the discord logo bouncepads or the laser shoes.
>>719442797As somebody who enjoys the game a bit to much it seemed pretty sus. Given the VGAs usual bias to Snoy coupled with a certain other title that was being built up to be the next Star Wars, I couldn't help but think the award had been bought for something else prior.
>>719444589Looks like Mario Galaxy for Funko Pop collectors.
Literally nobody talks about this game other than to troll that it won GOTY. It's easily the more forgotten game compared to Rebirth and Metaphor
>>719444883there's non challenge stages that's no in space
>>719442797As mediocre as I found Rebirth and Metaphor, I'd rather have had either of those win over this corporate garbage. This only one because Sony is fucking desperate for a mascot.
>>719442996This >>719442956Wukong
>Persona clone with no datingwhat's the fucking point?
>>719445017chang please..
>>719444734atlus shit is too mason slop, it's not good
I hate wukong for spawning so many generic souls clones set in ancient or mythical China
>>719445096I hate Wu-Tang clan for spawning so much chinese shit with Wu in the title
>>719443292At least Astro is an actual video game.
>>719442797>A PS5 exclusive wins Game Of The YearThe fact that 90% of the gaming community can't play the fucking thing should disqualify it by default.
>>719442797Nah, Astro Bot was good. However>Wukong 1st>Helldivers 2 2nd>Astro 3rdIs the real line up. But all good games.
>>719442797If anything PlayStation would have attempted to rig it against Astro. They hated this game and that it was a big success for a modest budget title made their top executives upset.
it won because of concord
>>719445096bro what? it's been 1 year. all i can even think of is wuchang.
>>719445251that doesn't make sense considering it exists to shill their other games
>>719442797Asstrobutt shitted and flopped even with a paid-for GOTY. How embarrassing
>>719445243it's so sad that helldivers 2 didn't get a nominationsony would've gotten less flack for buying the goty award if it went to helldivers 2
>>719445251>They hated the only game on the PS5Makes sense actually
>Astrobot shilling in 2025Guess Sony's paycheck hasn't ran out yet.
>>719445056I saw a massive samsung 57" 8k monitor (that some expensive ultrawide monitor) at a electronics store, and it was running wukong. That shit looked peak, very crisp and sharp, I had to sit down on the gaming chair there, and start literally pixel peeping the "scene mode" that the game seemed to be on (never played wukong, but I could tell it was some mode for taking screenshots or whatever). I would rotate the camera, zoom and whatever, and look at all this detail I've never ever seen in my life before. Big part of that is the insane high resolution on a very big monitor, but it helps if the game isn't terribad. That resolution is higher than what you can get on 40" 4k TV, so I can't find "cheap alternative" to that insane reso from TV side either.
>>719442797Should have been Stellar Blade tbqhIf not that then Wukong
>>719444792>>719444341Literally hover to win. Bravo Sony!
>>719445306Nobody cares. People dont buy PS5s to play exclusives. They want an easy to use machine that doesnt cost what PC does and doesnt only play baby shit
>>719445265This, it made it super fucking obvious how those awards are all bought by the companies, Sony had a whole plan prepared to push Concord and it included winning the GOTY, but then the game had an early death and they had to swap it to the only other game they had that year, it was also super obvious how journos were being paid to act like this game that sold like shit was the best thing ever made
>>719445292PlayStation hates almost all of their IPs. The fact that Astro Bot references stuff like Ape Escape is what makes them hate the game.
>>719445517Why do they hate them
>snoys are so desperate for an actual videogame that a 6/10 mario clone somehow won GOTY
>>719445586switchies cant even play call of duty or gta 6 so ps5 players arent lacking for anything
these motherfuckers are just trolling youthe only time a real win happened was with sekirobloodborne losing tw3zelda losing to persona 5god of bore losing to rdr2all close but stupid wins
>>719445651>can't play (goyslop) or (goyslop)oh nohow will we survive
>>719442797I had never even heard of this game
>>719445671>zelda losing to persona 5>god of bore losing to rdr2FUCK I GOT THOSE THE WRONG WAY AROUND
>>719445582Because PlayStation is run by morons that do things like spend $4 billion on Bungie when one look at their financials should have told them walk away, just like Microsoft did less than a year prior.
>>719445715ps5 cant play baby gamesoh nohow will we survive
>>719445736>>719445671Your shame shall last a lifetime

>>719445815
>>719442956Wukong. It sold gangbusters and was good.
>>719445651>cant even play call of duty or gtaWow, truly they are missing out
>>719445784what's new
>>719445815zelda has never been good
>>719445848>muh chinese sales
>>719444832once again you personafags prove that persona is the only atlus IP you've ever played. Metaphor is a huge mashup of a ton of different atlus games but the only things you recognize in it is persona.
>>719445839When does he->Your halberd brokeThere we go
>>719445880just like how ps5 players arent missing out on baby games
>>719445924nobody cares smtfag
>>719445924nobody cares
>>719445918massive success
>>719442934hol up
>>719445989They're missing out on games in general, Sony would rather give them away to PC
>>719446012we need to stop calling everything an RPG
>>719446064>>719442934>Ywn have a shortstack gaming companion that plays co op games with you and sucks your dick.
>>719445903twilight princess was actually good. these ubislop zeldas, with weapon durability shit, not so sure
>>719444732>nooo not a sexy woman
>>719446082zelda was quite the rpg game
Mogged by Donkey Kong
>>719446190doesn't make sense considering japs can look that brown
>>719445839That's why the PC version is the best. Fuck the framerate and resolution.Being able to pick and choose your own arsenal of weapons without them breaking after hitting ONE (1) enemy is a game changer. Breaking is fine, breaking like twigs is not
>>719445265100%
>>719446305ok i kek'd
>>719442956Rebirth
Player's Choice is the only one that matters.
>>719446239Anon what are you talking about?
>>719442996Wukong was actual garbage
>>719446468
>>719446509run your two brain-cells together
>>719446468>>Rebirth>couldn't even be the best of its own genre
>>719446509nta but why would a nip pretend to be a nip
>>719442797>caring about game awardsretard, they're all riggeddid you learn NOTHING
>>719446468Compilation garbage should never win anything.
>>719442797It was an ok game. I don't necessarily think it deserved goty, but then again, I can't think of anything last year that did.
>>719446660>>719446693>>719446720truth nukes
Nintendo seething right now that they can't sue Sony like they did the Palworld devs. That's what you get for being lazy and forgetting about what made your games great long ago.
>>719442956CHADbirth
>>719442797I think some people look at GoW's win over RDR2 in 2018 and think that was a miss, but yeah I think 2025 was a bigger one. It really should have been Wukong.>>719445243>Helldivers 2I don't like live-service multiplayer stuff in these awards, for reasons Helldivers itself showed (because the game is ongoing, the one that actually got nominated/won may not even be playable in a few months time due to updates changing the game) but with how massive and liked it was at launch I'm really surprised it didn't get nominated. It probably should have had SotE's spot.
>>719447067overwatch also won goty
>>719447143Yeah, I know, and that's the main example of why I don't like it. GOAT's didn't happen until 2018 and from that they added in role queue and vastly changed the game. Arguably prior to that, but definitely by August 2019, you couldn't even really play the game that won 2016 GOTY
What win this year would genuinely upset you?E33 doesn't count as it is literally GOTY.
>>719447064Buy an ad
>>719447642Since you said that I'm going to say anything not E33 winning would at least upset you.
>>719447642Death Stranding 2 winning anything. That game is this year's OH YEAH, THAT HAPPENED game.
Yes, and E33 will be rigged next.
>>719446305this faggots getting mad at astro bot are unironically retarded
>>719446468rebirth was low quality garbage.it was made like shit with not even 1% of the polish and talent astrobot had.

>>719447905this shit is so lame

>>719447905good god, kojima is so fucking embarrassing. i would actually leave the building if i was told i had to animate this trite.
>>719447905just fucking make movies jimbowe all know that's what you really want to do
>>719447905I'm glad this cringe slop flopped. Kjimbo BTFO.
was this the moment that rebirth lost the goty?
>>719448169He tried to before and got laughed out of hollywood. Kojima is honestly a tragic figure.
>>719447905This is really dumb. I liked the first one well enough, but the sequel looks so fucking pointless. Everything I've seen of it is just this obnoxious "quirky" nonsense. Does it even have a plot?
>>719443292>in what world does a pile of shit chink UE5 asset flip>lose to a meticulously made custom engine with impeccable polish on every single asset and animation?do you even listen to yourself chink?

>>719448565except for the fanbase
>>719448615it's not worse than Odyssey since it has level design and Odyssey barely has any of that.90% of the moons in odyssey are connected to garbage filler tasks.
>>719448565>ff7 rebirth has literally nothing to do with faggotsThe fucking quest in gold saucer didn't exist I guess? Or the 5000 faggot couples? I guess the biracial couples in every square inch of every town isn't DEI either?
>>719448646ugly grainy UE5 slop.if they wanted GOTY they should have made it in a real engine.
>>719448542That sounds worse than I expected.
>>719448054Note how mad china gets when they get caught
>>719448747>it's not worse than Odyssey since it has level design and Odyssey barely has any of that.>90% of the moons in odyssey are connected to garbage filler tasks.and despite that odyssey is still the better game, astrobot is bargain bin garbage.
>>719448565the fanbase are bottom of the barrel faggots and trannies.the game is so cringe and trashy without a hint of integrity that only autistic troons like it.
>>719448751>shit that takes up not even 1% of screen timeomg so true sis
>>719446468BASED
>>719448915Looks like SOVL to me. Astrobot is more cringe than this
>>719448919that's because the other 99% of screen time is taken up by walking and cringe cutscenes.
>>719448646kino
>>719448797stop it parrotget some help
Honestly, between bananza and astro bot, I’m just glad to see more 3d platformers as big as your average 3d mario
>>719448915yuffie sexo
>>719449179cute little robots dancing works because they're cartoons for kids and that's part of their character. the robots dance.FF7 is supposed to be for adults.Ruining established characters like Tifa and Aerith (who are in their 20s) by turning them into cheap dancing fanservice monkey anime dolls, in a jarring as fuck scene that makes no sense and has no justification for being there is just peak trash.The real characters would literally never do this (and they literally don't) the song is awful too.Turning FF7 into a trashy musical is such a retarded nomura thing to do. he ruined it so bad.
>>719448646Fake gameplay. 99% percent of players just one-shot with Maelle
>>719442797You only now noooooticed the astroturfing because it was an 8/10 3D platformer that came out shortly after Concord launched and died. It's always been this way.>Sony Entertainment Inc. is an investor for numerous games media websites, chief among them IGN>IGN owns numerous games media websites including Humble Bundle, Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, Open Critic, and until recently Digital Foundry (also they own Rotten Tomatoes but that's not video game related), almost all of which are/were on the judges panel for TGA>TGA judges have a significantly higher voting weight compared to user submissions>Starfield, an Xbox console exclusive and the then-latest Bethesda flagship title, was not allowed to be nominated for TGA 2023 despite meeting all qualifications and having been submitted for the awards by Microsoft, with all of IGN's websites defending TGA's decision>Geoff Keighley.You should've figured this out when they made a TGA award specifically to give Overwatch a new award every year.
>>719444179>>719444312post the tweet where the sony apologist uses fucked up mental gymnastics and says Astro Bot sold better than any Mario or Yoshi game ever
who still watches this shit?it's not even fun to watch with /v/ anymore
>>719444273>is the whole thing just self-wanking over Playstation IPs?Mostly this, but that aside it's a decent 3D World ripoff. Unfortunately we now live in a post-Bananza world and we can clearly see the gap between Nintendo and Sony's internal Japanese teams.
>>719444542That's the PS5 version running at its native resolution.
>>719443653Nah I agree with him. Astro Bot and Palworld back to back dickslapped Nintendo like a pimp. No way they could tussle with Sony head to head so they took their seethe out on Palworld instead.
>>719447064this ubisoft slop is so badly made, blurry and washed out with horrible lighting and no colour.stillbirth is even a visual downgrade from part 1 which was still a horrible looking game with the worst environments and NPCs you'll ever see.Badly made slop like 7R was rightly BTFO. Anyone who thinks this poorly made poojeet garbage deserves an award for anything other than>least gameplay>worst graphics>most autistic cringeis a fool.

>>719444921No one talks about those either.
>>719451163>part 2 had an over 70% dropoff in sales>it was so bad almost no one who bought part 1 continued on to part 2 because they were so disgusted with how dogshit 7R is.Can't wait, see you when part 3 bombs even worse and you and nomura can live stream your well deserved suicides.
>>719442797What a horrible year for games, even for an era that has been nothing but horrible.
>>719442797I was in agreement with everyone saying TLOU2's victory was rigged. Not so much Astrobot. Getting good 3D platformers is a rarity in this day and age, and i still consider both Play Room and Rescue Mission as proof of a good track record from Asobi.
>>719448374It's a complete waste of time that adds no new interesting mechanics or meaningful additions to the world. I made it about 30 hours before just quitting outright. I wasn't as disgusted in disappointment as I was with FFXVI, but it was close. Total dud of a game.
>>719451498but nomura doesn't even like this project
>>719451498>>719452182what did FF do to you?
>>719442797The only reason I like this game winning goty is because it's an actual video game and the only time any of Sony's other slop pulled off a goty was with God of War, which was 7 years prior. I hope this win signals to the industry that people want fucking video games and not goddamn movies.
>>719452524is that why he's fucking it up so much?he mustn't like any thing he works on.
>>719452582Raised my expectations with a demo before turning heel and releasing the worst mainline FF I ever had the misfortune of playing. >RebirthThankfully the demo of that also existed and I never bothered with the full game because it was so shit.
>>719452597Losing XV broke him. He sabotaged both VII and Kingdom Hearts in pure spite.
>>719452597he wanted a 1:1 remake>>719452685lmao okay
>>719452685very organic post
>>719442797>they still don't get itthe GotY winner at TGA isn't supposed to be the best game, its about the best scenario surrounding the game. A nostalgic trip that brings everyone together, an indie developer rising from obscurity and upsetting the status quo, a total facelift of a genre, etc. This one was meant to show Sony to stop being such fucking tryhards and to go back to basicsYes its literally "And who has a better story than Bran the Broken" bullshit, but hey whatever keeps Chinese gachaslop and AAA corposlop from winning I guess
>>719452754>>719452767>There are people who actually like XVI or RebirthWhat's it like having no standards.
>>719452754no he didn't. he was the director.if he wanted that. that's what would have been made.
>>719452875nta but yes he didhe confirmed it I interviews he was just outnumbered
>>719452843In that case Wukong still should have gone. >Cut the bullshit. Make awesome games.Is a better message than Sony parading its dead IPs around. And I liked Astro, it just wasn't GOTY worthy.
>>719452875>no he didn'tyes he did
>>719452857what's it like letting a franchise live rent-free in your head?
>>719452857>muh standards>liked that shitty XVI demo
>>719452924>>719452961>outnumberdhe's director. his word is final you fucking liars.
>>719453116He's one of 3 directors you fucking spastic cunt.
>>719453116retard
>>719442956Crow Country
>>719442797>>719442956There's only one game that should have realistically won
>>719442797While Astro Bot was a perfectly fine game, it winning was very obviously journos making a statement on crunch in video games more than anything
>>719446486/thread
>>719442797I took it more as an indictment of the industry or at least the AAA side of it, something that would be charming but unremarkable in a better era
>>719453280sote was good but a dlc winning goty would be the most retarded shit of all time
>>719453280lol I didn't play any of these
>>719453146he is THE the director for 7R part 1.not 1 of 3 you lying retard.everything was his decision. director has final say on everything.including the forced walking garbage he littered the game with.he never wanted to be faithful at all. if he did then the environments and costumes would at least be accurate.and the story would be WAAAAAY more accurate than it turned out.
only absolute contrarians think Rebirth was bad
>>719453005>rent-freeIt was a relevant comparison to illustrate how lame DS2. You asked why I disliked it specifically, retard. >>719453065>Why are you trashing XVI>Haha you're right it does suck thoOk.
>>719453341go away
>>719453334He was talking about Wukong.
>>719453431don't give Barry (You)s
>>719442797It won fairly, it’s only other competitors were a roguelike card game and a reskin of Persona 5
>>719453390Now post Astro Bot's scores.
>>719453393i never said XVI was good you stupid faggot
>>719453479both of which are better than baby's first mario game but with "REMEMBER THIS FRANCHISE??" shoved in your face every 2 minutes
>>719453468should've known it was him
>>719453523cope
>>719453505Then what are you arguing about, you stupid faggot. Does your lonely fat ass need attention?
>>719453586i'm just here to laugh at you
>>719453586just here to call you a fag
God of Shoy beating RDR2.
>>719453431look at the actual credits.co director is not director you low IQ retarded faggot nigger.
>>719453616>>719453638>Yes I AM starved for attentionKek
>>719453431>wikipeida
>>719452843I saw one of the game panel voters on a podcast prior to TGA (I think it was maybe a week after the nominations video) talking about how he wanted an Astro Bot win even whilst he didn't think it was that great of a game but rather for the message it says to Sony. I saw multiple people echo the same sentiment (though IDK how many of those were actually part of the voting panel). Also worth noting that guy on the podcast said he hadn't even played at least 2 of the other nominees and hadn't finished at least 2 of the others that he had played. Am I crazy for thinking "Game of the Year" should actually be the best actual video game rather than any other shit about the game or the message it sends to the industry or whatever?
>>719453771now show toriyama
>>719453853now admit you're a retard nigger faggot.
>>719442956>Astro Slop>self-explanatory>Balatro>novel mechanics and a novel aesthetic>Black Myth: Wukong>yet another soulslike rehash x yet another Journey To The West rehash>Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree>an incredibly sloppy and poorly-balanced DLC for the most overrated soulsborne to date>Final Fantasy VII Rebirth>YET ANOTHER FUCKING REMAKE>Metaphor: ReFantazio>yet another Persona doing nothing interesting or even particularly competently except for meme aestheticsBalatro was the only thing even close to GOTY material in this list and it was a $10 game that quickly boiled away its apparent depth after about 20 runs
>>719453908so he's not the sole director as you claimed - cool story bro
>>719453771>>719453908the producer has more say
Now that E33 is confirmed for wining GOTY this year, is GTAVI a lock-in for next year?
>>719453390I didn't like remake much but rebirth was really good
>>719453971he is THE director. he is in charge of the project.not the co-directors who basically fetch coffee.if that autistic hack wanted a faithful game that wasn't made like shit. we would have got that.instead we got this badly directed horribly made dogshit. because nomura can't manage a project or make a good game.
>>719454092>india is the biggest teamoof
>>719454156fuck off already
>>719442797US elections
>>719454240ignore the sperg
>>719454092Nah. The new Black Myth game.
>>719442797whatever coop game couple years agobut dude said fuck le oscars so it's okay
>>719443095>thisMetaphor deserved it, but journos hate JRPGs and having their neoliberal world view challenged so it was never going to win.Astrobot was a safe pick as polished game from a major publisher, even if nobody played it and it was basically just one big Sony ad (kinda like TGA lmao). Whenever there isn't a consensus pick for GOTY, the dorito pope awards have consistently had shit taste.Astro Bot is hardly worse than picking DAI in 2014 or TLOU2 in 2020.
I had no idea so many chinks posted on /v/It takes a certain kind of person to have a relatively fresh industry with lots of resources and turn around and produce stuff that already feels played out and boring
>>719442956Relink
>>719454140rebirth was pure shit. watch a speedrun it's 5+ hours of forced walking, pointless hallways and abysmal timewasting bullshit in every area that has absolutely no value.
>>719454240you fuck off 7R sperg. you're in my thread.
>>719454346I don't get why people feel so strongly about metaphor, it feels like a weaker and less compelling Persona
>>719454346>generic and uninspired JRPG deserved it
>>719454463k
>>719454346metaphor was mediocre as hell
>>719454536fatlus fags are damn near as bad as sqeernix fags
>>719454092I think probably, GTAVs campaign was shit but RDR2's was amazing. Unless they completely fuck it with live service slop I don't know what else next year we know of would be competitive
>>719454335I very much doubt that is coming anytime before late 2027 and more likely 28 or 29
>>719454638>RDR2's was amazing
>>719454638lol what the fuck about it "amazed" you?
>>719442797That's not rigging, that's a shit year For another example, look at 2014
>>719454724it was 100% riggedafter concord, sony needed a "win"
>>719454628RPG fags may have had valid opinions back when RPGs were actual games.but now that "RPGs" are just modern scripted ubisoft walking sim slop with anime cringe. they're just a joke.
>>719454724you'd have to be stupid not to think sony paid big bucks to astroturf those awards after concord
>>719444391Eva won
>>719454681>>719454704Arthur is a good character who I was invested in, it's very immersive and gunplay is very brutal and satisfying provided you turn auto aim off and don't be a faggot . Also Karen's fat tits
>>719442956Nine Sols unironically, if not that then Balatro
>>719454638>but RDR2's was amazing.There's even a tip off that it wasn't flawless upon reaching Guarma. Even if i were to give the rest of the games missions some credit. Which I'm not sure is necessary.
>>719454512nta but you're the one sperging out
>>719454856That would be absolutely pointless. Nothing else on the nominee list is particularly strong either
>>719454864who the fuck is Eva?
>>719454876It's immersive if you don't deviate from its extremely rigid and specific vision of how you should execute missions
>xv-kun seething over remake/rebirth again
>>719454856why would they need to when Astrobot is a refined technical marvel.whether you're an artist or programmer you can see it's high quality work and it's competitors are all cheap lazily made garbage.
>>719454536I like the plot, Louis was a very well written nuanced example of a military strongman (before he went full retard at the end). Also it was Atlus best game mechanically.
>>719455003i guess that's why TLoU2 won as well
>>719454092no, God Of Onions won in 2018 against RDR2 , modern journos don't have the appetite for Rockstar they used to
>>719442956This is why it was absolutely fair for astrobot to win. Look at the replies and how divided the year was for people. There wasn't any actual huge hit. Everything was fairly polarizing.
>>719455003>technical marvel
>>719455062Wukong was a hit that sold insanely well, and only journos got butthurt because it was Chinese. It won Player's Choice IRRC, so that's all that matters.
>>719455085the bar is set very low because of how bad UE is.name another game that year made in a custom engine, that doesn't have fuzzy artifacts and garbage programing or animation.let alone naming something as well optimized that can push particles and physics objects as well as Astrobot.
huh
>>719455062Wukong was a huge hit. So was Helldivers 2 before Sony carpet bombed it. Those two are the real GOTY. I don't dislike Astro but consider this. Its trailers for free DLC were treated with little fanfare, announced and moved on from. Meanwhile Game Science was given top billing to close out the night with its new game announcement at the last Geoff event. That's a tacit admission of it being the real GOTY. Politics and bullshit stole its win but it was absolutely the winner last year. Pretty sure player votes chose it as well.
>>719442797Team asobi is great.
>>719454092Probably unless Half Life 3 or whatever HLX is gets released next year
>>719455161wukong was badly made and badly optimized tho.just look at the bosses. lots of awkward interpolation, badly animated snapping and foot sliding problems in the crappy animations.fuzzy artifacts, jittering and TAA blur everywhere. it sucked.it was also infected with denuvo.
>>719455219>Recognized for keeping talentless activists in the industry
>>719455386>wukong was badly made and badly optimized thoworked on my machine
>>719455386>wukong was badly made and badly optimized thonah
>>719455386Sounds like your PC is shit. Game was beautiful and fluid.
>>719455161Wukong went up a rare good 3D platformer when otherwise any other year could have went to an action souls style game. And China have gone all in with their industry in devoting themselves to this genre or different approaches to said genre. It wouldn't have made sense for Wukong to win because it wasn't different enough to stand out.
>>719443529>does not name any better platformers
>>719455542He really wants to say Bananza but knows everybody will just laugh at him.
>>719455494>beautiful and fluid.lol fuck off.do I need to post gif of the bosses awkwardly spinning around and glitching out.not to mention it's uninspired Souls clone #5893057
>>719446486>>719453285eh i dunno..
>>719446130>>719442934imagine
>>719455747>DLC and mobile chinkslop.yikes.Astrobot was the only clear choice over all these non-games.
>>719455747>4/5 nominations are Chinese gamesI wonder how that happened
>>719453280The funniest thing about it is that Balatro is the only game of that list that gained any momentum from it.
>>719445251Sony had Swen Vincke go on stage and yap how everyone else is making games wrong and how this plucky Sony backed dev team did it right, of course they rigged it.
>>719442797What are you talking about? Everyone loves Astrobot and still talk about it to this day. It completely revolutionized 3D platforming. Nintendo will be playing catch-up for a while, it's gonna be hard to top Astrobot going forward.
>>719455656Can you? I've only seen it a couple times when someones game bugged out and they made a vid of it. I've played the game a bunch and only had one boss bug out like that, and then since a patch this year Erlang has a visual bug at the start of phase 3.
>>719455945>>719455747Player's choice...more like the CCP's choice.
>>719442797Agreed.Metaphor should've won.
>>719455881>>719455945>>719456117this is 2024
>>719456117>>719456240>Genshin proceeds to shoot itself in the dick this yearThey're never going to win that award, huh.
>>719442797>Has there ever been a more blatant example of rigging?
>>719456361they won it in 2022
>>719456432Then they might lose the nomination.
2020 was truly an awful year in general..
>>719456582>SIE missed the final payment
>>719455386>badly optimized tho.We're in the state of where the industry can't turn back on their choices for Unreal Engine as to why it's seldom acknowledged by critics about how poorly these games run. Blur plus fuzzy artifacts and atrocious image stability. So i will never defend it being well optimized, nothing on the engine is. At the same time i can say that it runs less worse than a lot of them and does try to push for higher fidelity graphics even it is fundamentally crippled at so many levels and doesn't successfully achieve it. It's a slightly more admirable game in graphics i suppose, but i say that loosely. And for some reason it will ask for 13gb of VRAM maxed out at 4k whilst Space Marine 2 will ask for less and still looks miles better. Game is actually alright though, i thought it was fun.
>>719456628It was for >>719456393
>>719442797the ps4 vr game astro bot game was better
It's genuinely the best game I've ever played so I don't think it was rigged. It's perfect, and that's why it's rarely talked about here, since it's hard to bait you's with Astro Bot
>>719442797I mean a Dragon Age game won goty one of those early years. Not the good first Dragon Age game, Origins, I mean one of the terrible sequels. I feel like that tells you everything you need to know. The Game Awards instantly discredited itself from the get go.
>>719456582I dunno why they didn't pick Ghost of Tsushima
>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Obvious winner at this point>Death Stranding 2>Donkey Kong BananzaThese are the obvious nominees at this point. What are the other 3 gonna be? Something that's already out or something that's yet to come?
>>719456628>>719456693kek
>>719457001yeah that was the first one
>>719457061because the last of us 2 is far more impressive from a technical standpoint and it has much better stealth to be completely fair
>>719457061the last of us 2 is just a better video game - tsushima just has a better story and characters
>>719457073will kojima be okay?
>>719443421>snoys actually believe this
>GoW beat out RDR2man sony really has been paying for this thing for a long time huh
>>719442797People woke up to the fact that the GOTYs are rigged since TLOU2 won. That's why Astrobot sold like shit and PS5 sales are tanking. Also, this is why Lost Soul Aside is bombing. People are skeptical with Sony games because they have been burned by bullshit reviews over the years. Sony has no one to blame but themselves for this.
>>719442956Unironically? Balatro. Its the only one of the list with staying power.
>>719456582So when are we going to acknowledge that winning a game award doesn't mean jack shit on whether a game is actually well liked or successful?
Dorito Pope's GOTY's literally committed suicide by giving Astrobot GOTY. Their credibility has gone to ZERO. Not even giving a big Nintendo game GOTY can repair the damage. They are done.
>fotm card game deserving gotylollmaoroflmao
>>719457654GOTY has never meant anything, even before Geoff started this shitshow.
>>719457662retard
>>719457073I still think split fiction is likely due to it being geoff's boyfriend's game (and journos loved it), and death stranding 2 seams really likely as well. There will also probably be an indie darling so either silksong or blue prince depending on how well silksong is received.
>>719457690Everything else was an actual FOTM. Rebirth is trapped in "help I'm the middle chunk of a trilogy" hell, No one remembers Wukong was a thing, Astrobot is only mentioned when someone wants to shit on Nintendo or shit on Sony for missusing their own IPs.People still play Balatro, discuss it and make content arround it, all without needing to compare it to other games.
>>719457716This is FALSE. GOTY gained credibility when BOTW won. Then Dorito Pope with his infinite stupidity, pissed all the credibility GOTY had away by giving awards to Sony's MEDIOCRE games. People DO NOT buy Playstations to play Sony's shitty games.
>>719457837>No one remembers Wukong was a thingI've seen Wukong threads here and there, but I haven't seen a Balatro thread since last year.
>>719457837nobody talks about balatro
>>719457928This is an echo chamber. I mean the actual internet with actual people, anon.
>>719457831>>719457073Shit, you already said death stranding 2. Hmm if Ghost of Yotoi is even remotely relieved well I think it has a good chance of being nominated I guess?
>>719457843lol okay nintoddller
>>719457985sure whatever fits your narrative
>>719457985you're full of shit
>>719442797
>>719457974It gets brought up pretty frequently when talking about successful indie games though. Balatro is huge, and is still one of the better selling indie games on most platforms right now, even phones. It was made by one guy
>>719458004Down 47 percent in the USA, dead in Japan, dying in Europe. Astrobot killed the PS5.
>>719455062I still feel it should have went to Rebirth, is the only game from past year that it still somewhat relevant today.Both AstroBot and Wukong are never discused here anymore, their relevancy is non-existent, something you can't say about other GOTY winners like Sekiro, Baldurs Gate 3, Elden Ring, Breathe of the Wild or Witcher 3.AstroBot goes with the other paid GOTY winners like Overwatch, God of War or Last of Us ll
>>719458296>Rebirthfuck I meant to say Metaphor
>>719442797It was unironically the best game last year, and Sony's highest-rated game of all time for a reason.>>719442996LOL no. The devs were lucky enough to get a pity nomination.
>>719458375literally no one talks about metaphor anymore except to shit on it
>>719457831>>719458002Blue Prince maybe? Or has that bounced off already
>>719458403liar>>719347065
>>719458375Honestly, I can see it, 2024 was a weak year for video games, it's just like when It Takes Two won, not a bad game, but nothing exceptional either
This years awards will be rigged in favor of Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Why do i say rigged? because The Summer Games Fest was an Epic Games sponsored event and one giant advertisement that wasn't even well disguised. It was one big promotion of Unreal Engine. Therefore this victory is already guaranteed. I don't care if you 'feel' like it deserves the award, the behind the scenes thing is what matters here. And you were probably tricked to thinking it was better than what it was because of twitch influencers. In which you will not admit that they shape your opinions, but they do. Dorito Pope at every goddamn second of that event just had to talk about how great Unreal Engine is and how amazing Epic Games are. If you can't see a rigged result then it's purely bias.I also don't really give a shit if you think this is coping because Japan couldn't make anything better, i got burned out on JP games a long time ago. Doesn't mean i can't criticize the state of the industry in the west all the same. I am not confident in a deserved victory.
>>719458532Yes Expedition 33 will win, and honestly it would deserve it, nothing really comes close and the cinderella story sells it completely as front runner
>>719458296I wonder how much more Wukong would have been discussed if it didn't have Denuvo. It has fine amounts of discussion at other places where people actually pay for games but Denuvo is basically a death sentence on /v/
>>719458531My two favorite games from that year are games that would never even be considered for the Dewritos. NEO: TWEWY and Lost Judgment
>>719444341I look at this and I can't help but wonder what the level is supposed to be about. The level design doesn't look bad, but it's not particularly focused on anything. It doesn't focus on one core level gimmick and build on it in various ways like a Mario game, it doesn't introduce a bunch of level gimmicks based on the environment and mixes them together over the course of the level like a modern 2D DKC. I guess it's a level about time based obstacles, but it doesn't really build to anything. Here I'd figure the final part of the level would involve moving between those swapping trampolines, rolling blocks and electricity plus shapes but instead it's dodging some bullet bills while on a conveyor belt. How bizarrely designed.
>>719458532cope
Expedition 33 is art.
>>719458837Yeah, it's the Duchamp's Fountain of video games.
>sterile genderless corporate piece of crap wanking one over dead ips ( that snoy itself killed to promote horizon and god of soi slop )
its the best platformer ever made
>>719453837At the very least they should play all the games, but in the end its all just a game of pretend.>>719452937Because TGA is Western. Namco has plenty of Western involvement while Wukong joined the party without an invitation
>>719442797>Western production based around gamesDid you dipshits learn nothing from G4? If it isn't straight out of an individual's mouth it's fake bullshit paid for by advertisers. If you can connect an account to a person's real name, it is 100% a shill and not a genuine opinion. If a person works for anyone involved in game media, it's 100% a shill.I can't even fathom how fucking stupid you would need to be to be disappointed that the Game Awards are nothing but a really long commercial for western games. You thought it was arranged by such passionate gamers that they got celebs who have never played a video game and for some reason they force the muppets in there every year? Yeah, you know how those gamers are always talking about the Muppets. How fucking idiotic could a person be? Just kill yourself at this point because you're on hell of a retard.
>>719442956concord
>>719458532I thought e33 would for sure win but Silksong might just be too big to ignore for the award.
>>719459875...riiiiiiiiighhhht...
>>719461823if you're gonna steal, steal from the best
>>719461704nobody gives a fuck about Shitsong
>>719461934this
>>719442797Are the Chinese still mad about Black Myth Wukong?
>>719461934hollow knight sold 15 million
>>719442797it’s been nearly a year get the fuck over it already
>>719461823>Nintendo invented everything.RRiiight.
i think the whole elden ring thing proves people don't want dlc to be a candidate for goty
>Barry in here malding about FF7R
>>719462214no, but nintendo invented pretty much everything astrobot's ripping off
>>719462214Well we know as hell Astrobot didn't invent shit lol.
>>719462489It's funny because before Super Mario Bros, side scrolling platformers weren't really a thing.Before Super Mario 64, 3D platformers really weren't what we see them as today. That's just Mario, you can talk about the influences of many other Nintendo IPs overtime and it's pretty huge. They didn't invent EVERYTHING but they sure as hell were extremely influential to the industry. Without them gaming would be unrecognizeable from what it is now. A side scrolling platform was not a common thing. Nintendo made it common. Same goes for many genres, they made genre defining games essentially. In fact they still do. Sony's last genre defining game you could argue was Last of Us, i.e. the cinematic movie game genre. Which as a cinematic style game it's really not the worst game, as it has fun gameplay, it's just the entire movie games genre itself just isnt that great.
>>719446130Sony already has the patent. They just need to make it real already.
>>719457531Yeah it's a pure joke. Awards shouldn't be pure popularity but everyone else who's won TGA's have games that are both massively critically acclaimed and close to or breaching 10million+ sales being widely popular. Which makes sense because for the "independent" panel to nominate it would have to have a wide spread.But Sony can swan up with a game that didn't even reach 2million by the time it won. But magically enough of the panel of the judges had played it to nominate for half a dozen categories and voted enough for it to win 4 of them, and be the Game of the Year that nobody played.
>>719446130Someday...
>>719457138>>719457163TLOU2 was pretty much reviled by anyone outside the game journo circlejerk. Ghost of Tsushima was universally beloved with the only real criticism with it being kinda formulaic.Seemed ike a much safer pick imo.
>>719461823>a small studio of 50 people made astro bot in 4 years and incorporated more mechanics than 10+ nintendo games combined>meanwhile it took nintendo almost 8 years to make Bananza really makes me think
>>719463468People only hated TLOU2 because of Cuckmann ruining the story and characters. It terms of gameplay, it's one of the best stealth games out there, and Tsushima's stealth is laughable in comparison. Tsushima is just a decent Ubishit clone with nice set-pieces and people just wanted it to win to spite Cuckmann.
>>719463248Practically nothing did those kinds of numbers last year except for Wukong, but that had about half the review count Astro does.I get it's not that interesting to most here since it was primarily made as a family game, it's not my pick either. But now having played the game a little while back it's not hard to see why it won.From an objective view it's just incredibly polished and well made, moreso than anything else that released last year.
>>719463468>TLOU2 was pretty much reviled by anyone outside the game journo circlejerk.It's same as Astrobot. You just had game journalists saying>"Sony made games about fun again... yay!" Then ipso fatso, it magically won GOTY at TGA's. More like The Journalist Rewards. I think people need to recognise the TGAs are just games journalists attempting to bend the gaming industry to their will and making themselves authority on what games are good, in an industry where their relevance is hanging by a thread.
>>719442797Why are tendies such a bad losers?
>the journalists who actually get to vote on TGAs have families and children who they played Astro Bot with>/v/ just sits here malding about "childish" videogames
>>719442956People are just saying games that didn't win, but if those games won they would just say another game should have won
>>719463468the gameplay and technology in tlou2 shits on got desuas someone said people just wanted tlou2 to win out of spite
>>719443182You know the GOTY is bullshit when dark souls 3 OST lost to Overwatch OST
>>719463697Astrobot wasn't reviled though.
>>719463792>people just wanted tlou2 to win out of spiteto lose*
>>719463679Sure but to get to the good parts you have to wade through hours of melodramatic movie game horseshit. Its the same problem with MGS4. Great stealth mechanics, but the game is extremely uneven and poorly paced.TLOU2 was an awful pick for GOTY. It's a game that prides itself on it's story, but the story is awful and actively gets in the way of player experiencing the actually good parts of the game.
>>719443395nobody's getting addicted to snoy's trash games that's for sure
>>719464139fair but i guess we all know why it won when we look at the panel >>719445671
>>719463792If that's the case then why did GoW win over RDR2 in 2018? Journos picked TLOU2 because they're invested in it winning for vague culture war reasons.
>>719463749a polycule is not a family, pride.com degenerate
>>719464407got me there
>>719463792i think people just agreed that GoT is a better game overall
>>719464691>immediately reaches for cuckshitMentally broken
>>719442797You still fucking seething over that? Christ
>>719464756no, I'm reaching for gay shity'know, snoy's target audience
>>719463052
>200 awards>2 million sales
>nearly 500 posts of console war shitflinging over a dorito pope marketing event from a year ago>only 2 or 3 images of asstro butt's plump shortstack ass were uploadedfail thread, when are we getting a do-over
rdr2 didn't win because the woke journos and panel were mad people were punching the feminist and were also upset normal people didn't like the race-swapping in gow
>>719465079don't think there was any race swapping in the original GoWI think it won because more people were looking forward to that reboot rather than rdr2 and rdr2 sold more because it was multiplat
>>719464841And oot is considered best game evah and only sold 6 millions plus 7 millions in 3ds, literally less than a lot of indies
If GOTY awards can be bought, why has Microsoft, one of the richest companies in the world, not paid to win one? It's the same with reviews, people keep saying reviews are paid yet Microsoft's games only get scores of 7-8.
>>719465769same reason they're cancelling games left and right
>>719442956Lorelei and The Laser Eyes. Or if you mean AAA slop then Metaphor, at least that was bit different from the usual Persona slop formula. Not much, but at least a bit.
>>719442797I don't play console games and never liked Nintendoshit, and seeing this win seemed really rigged to me. Kind of like forced popularity or something, it was really just a FotM game I saw getting spammed everywhere and I disliked it purely because of how inorganic it seemed. Didn't even see gameplay until after it won GOTY and it seems like an indie platformer, not some flagship title. Did people just like this game because "oh my god my favorite playstation character is in it!!!" or is it genuinely good enough to be worth the title?
>>719463749>the journalists who actually get to vote on TGAs have families and children who they played Astro Bot withYou mean the same journos that spend the entire last decade+ bitching about how "gaming needs to mature as an artform" and "mature past the likes of Mario and Bing Bing Wahoo?"Anon, please. The game's not awful but be honest. If this wasn't a Sony first party title they'd have either called it a shitty baby game or ignored it as a whole.
nobody liked remake nor regurge
>>719443721To be fair this came the year after a tabletop bearfucker sim beat the Zelda asset flip that Nintendo pathetically tried to astroturf as an impossible miracle of game design. Which they delayed by a year just to avoid being blown the fuck out by Breath of the Rollslop (meaning they effectively conceded 2022 as well), so that's three years in a row. It's no wonder they've become extra wiggy and paranoid.
XV was the worst Final Fantasy of all time.
>>719466228true
>>719453065He was robbed. At least he wins this year playing the same character, so there's that.
>>719442956Definitely Balatro and it's not even close. No one has even played Astro bot and it robbed the new solataire of the win.
>>719457837This. Balatro will only become more appreciated over time though. No one is gonna be talking about Astro or Wukong in a couple years.
>>719466332>>719467359lmao
>>719467415Seethe all you want about it. Once the dust clears no one will care about the generic shit that came out around the same time as a genuinely innovative game.
>>719467494
>>719467494lol
>>719443721>2024: Astrobot cucking Super Mario Wonders>2025: E33 cucking Mario Kart World, DK Bananza and Metroid Prime 4
>>719468365
>>719452182>I wasn't as disgusted in disappointment as I was with FFXVIhi barry
>>719467494This thread is the first time I've seen Balatro mentioned anywhere in the last 4 months maybe. The other two get mentioned quite often, even if in Astro Bots case a lot of it is just about GOTY.
>>719467659>>719467725I mean, you can pretend to laugh about it all you want, but the guy isn't exactly wrong. Astro Bot was a flop that had zero cultural impact whereis Balatro sold millions of copies and is one of the highest rated games on Steam.
>Balatro addict thinks his game is relevant
>>719442797>game critics have most of the voting power>what game will win?>muh heckin wukong ofc>higher rated game wins>nooooo the fix is inimagine being this retarded
>>719469079I've never even played Balatro, but it's objectively more relevant than Astro Bot. I mean, come the fuck on now. Astro Bot has probably less total lifetime sales than Balatro has Steam reviews.
>>719469121If they went purely by ratings, it would have been a toss-up between Metaphor, FF7 Rebirth and Astro Bot and out of those 3 Astro Bot is the least deserving as well.
>>719469160
>>719469232no ff7 was trash and scored 92 and metaphor also kind of trash but tied the 94, but player reception was worse so still a worthy winner
>>719469241Astro Bot was a commercial flop though, that is a fact, not an opinion.
>>719442996>the tech demo should have won
>>719469534But the tech demo did win. Astro Bot is the sequel to a LITERAL tech demo.
>>719469485nope it made money it had a budget of 21m and sold 2m it was never expected to sell mario numbers and it dint need to
>>719469485and it still beat your gay card game LMAO
where is the fucking update LocalThunk
>>719466165That was hilarious, I wonder how much will they seethe when they lose against expedition 33, now they need to make sure no new Zelda coincides with some clair obscure sequel
>>719470589>Zelda getting the Horizon Curse, Lite Editionthat's pretty goddamn funny not gonna lie
>>719443165>forgotten fotm addictslop should have won!Still, to this date, no gameplay footage of this "game" has ever been posted on /v/. Why not?
