As a 80s Chinese kid. Wukong is hella emotional if you know the story. More emotional to me than God of War Ragnarök. I get that if you don’t know Journey to the West story (and the vast majority of non Asian people don’t) the story of Wukong will most likely fly over your head. And on the boss rush gameplay. I think only chapter 1 and chapter 5 fits that description. Because those are the chapters with smaller maps. Chapter 2-3-4 have quite large maps, not open world but large instances and chapter 6 a non chapter, it’s just the final boss fight with some side content. I’m so nostalgic that It’s maybe my game of the year. Rebirth is also super nostalgic. It’s hard for me to choose between those two.
@@AlanahStreams The game didn't tell the original junery to the west story att all through cut scenes. It expects you to already know. That's why I didn't expect most western platers to get the story. The game is made for Chinese/Asian audience first. You could piece together the story if you read all the in game lore text... but ain't nobody got time for that. Perhaps the intention was to mimic FromSoftware games where a lot of the lore in their games are hidden behind texts in the game world.
To me it comes down to which one has more creativity and renovating elemant, and Rebirth has that with it's battle system, and the music is basically unbeatable
@@zhaf yeah if they wanna push the story globally they need to make a game about the OG Journey to the West first so everyone have an idea of how it should be, then black myth comes after, would get more connection, otherwise it's too regional restricted
I’m Japanese, and know the story well, but I think the game was just solid. Combat was little simplistic to be considered great, and the level design was really mediocre. Boss design is their strongest point, but the game doesn’t provide too much outside of it. All the way to the west is a childhood story, but it’s just one of many kids story and don’t have emotional attachment toward it (at least in Japan).
As far as Kai Cenat is considered: 1. He's a variety streamer more than being known for gaming imo. His gaming streams are big but these other content creators mainly focus on gaming. 2. Just thinking about the voting committee, who I assume are mostly 25+ years old, how many of them are actually watching Kai? I'm 28 and wouldnt waste the time but of course I saw the clips & the hype around his Souls streams. Whereas the other streamers who might have specific tastes/communities could compel gamers of any age to watch imo.
Yeah imo phantom liberty is easily better and changed the game for the better, Shadow of the Erdtree just felt like more elden ring and still can't hit 60fps unless you play the ps4 version on ps5
Phantom Liberty was nominated in 4 categories last year. Best ongoing (which it won), Best narrative, best performance for Idris Elba, and player's voice category as well. Player's voice meaning that completely free of the voting committee it could have won the award just from gamers voting for it. It didn't because BG3 exists. It was eligible for GOTY it just didn't make the cut as 2023 was literally a historic year for games.
I think one thing to note with Black Myth: Wukong's nomination is that I suspect there's a big divide between the Anglosphere votes for it and the non-Anglo votes. The reception in the West was much milder, and I wouldn't personally have expected it to be nominated based on exposure to mostly English-speaking social media. Pretty glad it did get a look in though - it's the kind of year-defining launch that befits the category, even if it's not my personal "the best game of the year", same with Helldivers 2.
For the game to truly hit one needs some background knowledge of Journey to the West and Chinese folklore, and from that perspective, the game is almost perfect. But without that context, I can see how some people cannot get into it.
Wukong is overrated tho, and it was highly disappointing for those of us who were expecting the game for years. Gets repetitive pretty quick and doesn't innovate. It's very flashy, but as a Wukong fan myself this felt lifeless.
@@serghonest9 I wouldn't say it nailed the landing exactly, but I was also anticipating it ever since it was announced and it's a solid 8 for me. I wouldn't have personally put it in the nominations but I can totally see why it's there. A ridiculous effort from a first-time non-mobile developer in any case. Either way, that's kind of not the point I'm making - it's that the impact it made on the gaming landscape is unparalleled this year, except maybe Palworld or Helldivers 2: truly opened up China as a core gaming market (more broadly than Hoyo) and as a game development landscape, opened western eyes that the USA is not the sole decider of commercial success, and truly cemented that if you just make a good game that people are interested in, the one-and-done business model will reward you.
@@rioplats Alright so you're not pro-Wukong, you're just pro China and anti USA. That explains it better. And It's a pretty ignorant take. China has been one of the most (if not the most) profitable videogame markets for years. And western games are not even that popular. The best rated games (like Elden Ring) are almost all Japanese, which is an Asian country. And no, Wukong didn't have more impact than Shadow of the Erdtree or even Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero after Toriyama's death. It was popular for about three weeks, which is what it took must of us to complete Wukong.
@@serghonest9 This seems like a rather extreme reaction to what I wrote, but you do you I guess. China has always been profitable, but mostly in the mobile and MMO market. That's why I qualified it with "core". Even then it has been growing in recent years, especially on Steam, where it takes a good 25% of AAA game sales like Elden Ring, for sure, I'll admit that. And I never said western games were the most popular - it's that there's a prevailing sense that games aren't important or successful unless they did well in Western (especially American) markets. Elden Ring did numbers here in the West, so it's seen as a major success, and as you know, FromSoft are an Asian dev too. There was a lot of denialism online on BM:W about how "I've never seen it before today" or "it can't be that popular if no one I know is playing it" or "it doesn't count because it's just China" when we do the same for many games that only do well over here, like Dragon Age: The Veilguard. As for your final point, personally, I think Wukong had more of an impact than Shadow of the Erdtree, tbh - over 50% of ER players aren't even qualified to start that DLC, never mind actually have played it. You'll never catch me slandering the GOAT Toriyama though. Dragon Ball for life.
It’s an awards show…it’s about advertising. Enjoy any spectacle. Enjoy yourself if your game wins. It’s meaningless as a measure of quality or value, see also the Oscars. Generally, remain calm.
Wukong's combat is way too one note and simplistic, exploration sucks ass, story was w/e. Mechanics wise it certainly feels like its their first game. So many elementary problems with terrible hitboxes, awkward animations locks and zero input buffering making the game feel super janky and unreaponsive to play. Its got a great presentation which and enemy variety ill applaud them for that. Otherwise, the best 7/10 youll get.
Maybe I play too many fromsoftware games with shitty hit box and locks,XD I actually quite enjoy the combat in BMW. Embedded sprit move in combo is cool.
popularity contest? wukong sold like 20mil+? like what are you saying. And wukong is not a boss rush, seems like you havent played that game enough to judge it.
i don’t get why people keep mentioning “kai cenat” as content creator of the year when it’s related too “Game awards” kai is not a Gamer of any kind, i don’t care what anybody saids. playing Minecraft once every 5 years with your cousins on a boring rainy sunday simply because you can’t go outside does not magically make you a Gamer lol no.. just no..
If Elden Ring wasn’t on the GotY list this year, I’d say it could be anyone’s pick (outside of Bellatro, probably). Since it’s in the list of nominees though, I think that one will win it. I don’t think it should, hope that it won’t, but it probably will.
Shadow of the Erdtree is the best release of the year for sure, but I really want Balatro to win. One of the best card games ever, and it has a great backstory of its blow up.
Man I can't believe pekora got a nomination for best content creator I'm so happy for her and as a hololive fan it's so cool vtuber are becoming more mainstream now

i have feeling i know why but it's a shame that NCAA football didn't get nominated for sports game over tennis and WWE 2k. After ten years being away from NCAA football games. to come in, be 12 points higher scoring on metacritic than tennis and a few points higher than WWE. within two weeks of release was already the top selling game (maybe just in US not sure) and wasn't even in the running. i'm guessing though this is most likely because NCAA football is more of an American sport and the others have larger worldwide appeal.
I always love talking about which year was best for video games, and I still think 2001 will never be topped: Grand Theft Auto 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Halo, Devil May Cry, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Final Fantasy X, Ico, Animal Crossing, Silent Hill 2, Onimusha, Tony Hawk 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Gran Turismo 3, Sonic Adventure 2, Twisted Metal Black, Max Payne, Rogue Squadron 2, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Capcom vs snk 2, Red Faction. . .
How do you feel about alternative game awards? I recently learned about "The Real Game Awards" and you have to pay to vote, this is to avoid needing sponsors and bot accounts.
Holy shit, if d.s2660 ain't watching these awards are truly cooked. I guess I shouldn't watch either but what if there's a GTA 6 trailer, a guy running up on stage, or a funny speech that gets cut short. Thank you so much for letting us know, we'll miss you 🥲❤️🩹
I felt this stream VOD was more interesting and in a way wholesome and industry affirming than I'd ever feel about actual awards. It's a bunch of people voting for whatever, for whatever reasons they have. As an everyday Joe Gamer, it's nothing I need to put much stock into. Of course it's nice when games that I love win in any category, but if anything else wins, at worst, I scratch my head and shrug. Unless the awards are more focused on not the obvious bread winners of the year that mostly require no further recognition, then there's more at stake because a lot of nominated games and their makers stand to gain serious recognition they might not have had prior. In general it's nice to see the actual game makers of any discipline getting recognized, especially when they get to do acceptance speeches.
But Astro Bot is only on PS. Is that enough to get enough votes? Majority of players that vote are mostly PC gamers, and they don't play on PS. I agree that the game is dope, but the audience of it is a lot smaller.
The way it worked last year was that players count as 10% and the critics count as 90%. If most players voting only play on Nintendo it wouldn't be enough to stop an Xbox or Playstation game from winning.

If Elden Ring DLC can be nominated then Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty should’ve been nominated last year for GOTY.

Holy shit, if d.s2660 ain't watching these awards are truly cooked. I guess I shouldn't watch either but what if there's a GTA 6 trailer, a guy running up on stage, or a funny speech that gets cut short. Thank you so much for letting us know, we'll miss you 🥲❤️🩹
I felt this stream VOD was more interesting and in a way wholesome and industry affirming than I'd ever feel about actual awards. It's a bunch of people voting for whatever, for whatever reasons they have. As an everyday Joe Gamer, it's nothing I need to put much stock into. Of course it's nice when games that I love win in any category, but if anything else wins, at worst, I scratch my head and shrug. Unless the awards are more focused on not the obvious bread winners of the year that mostly require no further recognition, then there's more at stake because a lot of nominated games and their makers stand to gain serious recognition they might not have had prior.
In general it's nice to see the actual game makers of any discipline getting recognized, especially when they get to do acceptance speeches.
Granted you do need to keep an eye on the show for new games and trailers and live audience reactions
I'd vote for Counter-Strike for best eSports. But I refuse to support calling it that. It's Counter-Strike 5!
I loved Quantum Break!
if black myth wukong is repititive, why did it got so many overwhelming positive reviews? wtf lmao
Marvel movies are repetitive and get overwhelming positive reviews.
@@zac-1 so being repititive doesnt stop a game from being goty got it
it looks good, the enemy design is very interesting and some bosses are very cool, but still the combat was repetitive and many bosses were a joke.
@amwazdraws6890 "many bosse were a joke" u mean skill issue. Combat was repeitive as if Elden Ring doesnt lmao
@@thegreatimu lol they were a joke as in I first tried them, because they only do the same two attacks
Another Elden Ring drama
How doesnt D4 deserve ongoing, they put out a huge expansion in 1 year
Was the expansion better received than the other games in the category?
because it has invisible walls its not goty lmao gtfo I wonder if she thinks bmw doesnt deserve to be nominated because of the invisible walls as well
bro be normal lol it is not that deep. there is obviously a lot more to it than having invisible walls
But Astro Bot is only on PS. Is that enough to get enough votes? Majority of players that vote are mostly PC gamers, and they don't play on PS. I agree that the game is dope, but the audience of it is a lot smaller.
The way it worked last year was that players count as 10% and the critics count as 90%. If most players voting only play on Nintendo it wouldn't be enough to stop an Xbox or Playstation game from winning.
