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
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.
@@Kingutheworld Both Astro Bot and Metaphor have similar sales numbers, and Atlus has a pretty large audience here in the west. While i understand the argument, i just feel as though it falls a bit flat. Otherwise it was a good video, very entertaining keep it up!
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.
@@NathanMcInerney I see where your coming from. While I still stand by my overall ranking, I do think I was too harsh on Metaphor. Criticism is always appreciated. I hope you enjoyed the video regardless :)
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.
I disagree due to the reasons stated in the video. Especially it missing that big cultural relevance. But I hope you enjoyed the video regardless of our differing viewpoints :)
@@Kingutheworld Would you also say that last year if BG weren't there,Alan Wake would have no chance against Zelda,despite winning more awards including Direction?
who doubt the result never actually played astro bot. 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.
After finishing astro bot today its pretty obvious that it is damn near perfect and that it deserved it
Game of the Year 2024, or _How I Learned To Stop Hating and Love the Bot_
The Bot rocks
"Exclusives can't win"??? Um Breath of the Wild, God of War (2018), The Last of Us part 2. 🤔
breath of the wild is technically not exclusive
Why is this even a debate? I feel the best game won.
fan of a certain hyped game is deluded that their game could have a chance at winning
@@linkthai1995I thought the game you speak of would place 4th

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 get what u mean. But like I said in the video, its more than just reviews. Metaphor just wasn't as big as the other games. At least not in the west.

@@colossus4219 criticism is always welcome! No offense taken. Im glad you liked it

Great video ❤
Balatro being nominated is a big win on its own tbh, and tge creator would have prefer it this way rather than winning.
Im happy for it. Indie game nom is a HUGE deal

I totally agree with you on this video dude. Astro Bot definitely deserved it. 😎💯🏆👑🙏
Rebirth is basically an expansion of a remake. 🙄😒
U dont know what ur talking about
Stop talking lmao
@zzzzzy just face the facts, Rebirth is basically FF7 Remake pt 2. 😒🙄
@snowinouterspace1883 my comment, you're just a guest.
Holy Splosives. Every "S" is like a gunshot. Sorry about that
who doubt the result never actually played astro bot.
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.
Most i see common comments is about the sales compared to astro lol
Great video

Yeah, I agree DLC shouldn't be included in a game of the year contest.

You really think so? I personally thought Metaphor was a great game
