it was a bad year for gaming but 2025 seems really stacked

Lol why are they upset? At least their game got acknowledged. How do they think the Stellar Blade and Space Marine fans feel where both titles clearly got snubbed? No matter what game wins, someone will be upset over it. There's no avoiding it unfortunately.

Yep Space Marine 2 is easily the best game this year but I honestly don't think 99% of the people are upset that their game didn't win some award show pick. Whatever game people see as the best are still the best while games they didn't like are still crap and the award doesn't change that one bit. This whole Wukong fans are upset about Astro Bot winning seems to be blown out of proportion like someone is just looking for a excuse to try to trash Wukong fans when 99% or more of them most likely don't care. Not into Astro Bot or Wukong but this whole thing seems fishy.

the rage is bigger than you think, it's not just contained to Wukong fans. I just pointed them out because they were notably vocal. But FF7Rebirth, Metaphor, Balatro fans are all pissed as well, to lesser extents

Lesson in life for me. It is not always about winning. Just being nominated is already a honor.

Gamers still havent learned that having fun has more value than graphics or being a technical marvel. Its the same reason why God of War won over Red Dead Redemption 2. Regardless of how much larger in scope RDR2 was compared to GOW, it felt like a chore to play where as GOW nailed its fun factor of satisfying combat.

No doubt Black Myth Wukong is a good game, but I'd be lying if I didnt say I get bored sometimes in between boss fights. Having side activities and NPCs to chat with, or even just music playing in the background actually does make a big difference.

The Chinese people I know thought Black Myth was the greatest thing ever before it even came out
