    To me it was gonna be between metaphor and Astro bot. My bet was on Astro bot because it’s great regardless of age like a how a good cartoon has plenty for kids to enjoy while throwing in stuff the adults are gonna understand. My personal goty is metaphor because of it’s gameplay, messaging about anxiety and fantasy’s role in our lives

      Metaphor or Astrobot were the ONLY options there. If anything else got chosen. THEN it would've been rigged.

    1. It was the highest reviews game of the year by critics. The game with the highest metacritic has won every year except one.
    2. It has the highest user reviews on just about every platform.
    3. Fatigue for long ass RPGs and souls likes winning every year.

    I dont agree that metaphor had that small of a chance at winning, especially when you take in to consideration that its a majority critics vote. Wukong did not have the reviews to win, Metaphor did.

      Saying Metaphor had a 5% chance is ridiculous. The people voting for it mostly are from games outlets, so talking about appeals to a wide audience doesn't work. All of those outlets would have played it. It won Gamespot and IGN GOTY... Also it best FF7 Rebirth for best RPG at the game awards, which means it had more votes for GOTY as well.

    Hard disagree with the Metaphor ranking. Metaphor took home three awards at the end of the day: Best RPG, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative. Metaphor was probably the second most likely game to win. Black Myth Wukong should be swapped with Metaphor.

    yes wukong is more appealing to mass audiance, thus more people have played the game.
    But for people who played all these game, understood ofcourse astro bot will win.

    Yes black myth is a great game. Not GOTY. People need to stop glazing over another souls like just because it is China's first big push into the AAA scene.
    If it went up against games in 2023 lies of P is arguably a more interesting take of it's source material and probably one of the souls likes that actually gained respect for having that sauce that most souls like lacks. Lore implications.

    I wish I could play the game to verify what the hype is about, but since it is an exclusive I can`t. This argument, as you have stated, is and should be the main argument. Saying that me/these people are the ones who wanted Spiderman to win feels like a poor rage-baited speculation. Your last point regarding the "controversy" feels poorly thought out, Sony has so many of them, many of those not even regarding their gaming division.
    Lastly, the "arguments" you picked from somewhere (Babygame, etc.) all feel like people crying for attention and should not be taken into account, in my opinion, since they don't represent a majority. What does represent a majority are the Xbox and PC gamers when combined who should be taken into account when discussing GOTY.

      I totally hear you. Like I said in the video, I agree that if u honestly feel that way its totally valid. The rest is just me generalizing ofc, but its a large enough group of ppl that I wanted to adress it. I should've made more of an effort to differentiate the two groups. As for the other complaints, I agree its all mostly whining, but its less of me trying to characterize your viewpoints, and more of me just responding to some common sentiments i've seen. I hope you enjoyed the video regardless of our disagreements :)

      No one is keeping you out of playing the game, unless you told me someone forced you to buy a platform instead of another one and is keeping you to stay in one single platform. Is like only giving the Oscar to best movie only to Netflix because its more accesible, cheaper or convenient or whatever than going to the cinema. Award the distribution of the media instead the proper piece of media. Absolute Nonsense.

    Metaphor was the frontrunner if you knew anything about the garbage journos that actually comprise that jury. Thankfully Rebirth probably pulled away just enough votes among people that like JRPGs and Astro was able to win both Direction and GOTY. Metaphor would've been the second worst win next to TLOU2 in the show's history. Bad enough it got three of the most undeserved mindlessly overhyped awards as it is.
