Played it for 2 hours thanks to the PS+ trial. Enjoyed a lot. But I didn’t have a clue about what was I supposed to do.

Killed the fire wielding weapon boss. And got destroyed by that giant blue baby.

I might buy it if it’s on sale.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
Cool, I'll be waiting for more fixes and discount before jumping in wukong on my pro

Let's stop with this bullshit. We need a Raspberry Awards like movies do. We need a Flop awards. What everyone can get excited for.

What is the biggest corpo flop of 2024?

One of you mad lads will make this thread for us to all vote on it. I am excited and here for it.

(Grats to monke game. I love you for only pissing off the gaming press alone. You are also a good game. )

This is why i don't want TGA to make player voice 50%
I'm playing the game right now and its good, very good game, but not every year the most popular game is good, in 2018 Golden Joystick went to Fortnite, in 2021 to RE Village, in the future it could go to some free2play gatcha game, you can't just trust the populace, it turns into a popularity contest and most people don't play all games, you need a jury that played most games and have some actual experience in evaluating games.

With all that said congrats to the devs, its a good game and this is the only GOTY award out of the big 5 that they will win, so they may enjoy it while they can.

Atleat that would be a stage for a Todd Howard award-acceptance speech.

Lots of weird hate coming from journalists these days. People I always felt aligned with somehow have such sour opinions. Makes me rethink who I want to listen to. Some of them remind me of weird dweebs from high school with their stupid opinions. lol The point is, Wukong was a good game. It was very fun and I played it through twice. I enjoyed it more than Rebirth and that was due to the missions. I don’t get why Silent Hill 2 didn’t get best narrative. Rebirth was just a reimagining of Junon and the Gold Saucer. I don’t get how it shined above a tragic psychological horror game where a man is at a town to meet his dead wife.

To be fair,its a good game also so thats why they vote en masse.
I can assure you all if the game was shit china gamers will indoubtly shit on it even harder than anyone.
If only you all knew how toxic and extreme the gaming scene in china especially on gacha games.

:messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: Literally the most robotic performance of all time.

And people wonder why TGA gives most the vote to critics.
Cloud is supposed to be a certain way. He is stoic, and his mind is fucked. He is not your typical charismatic hero character. I'd say he nailed it.

Yeah, it's pretty good. If we're not including STALKER 2, then Black Myth is my pick for 2024 without a lot of competition.
 
I didn't buy Wukong yet but as far as I observe it doesn't force political or ideological agenda to our throats. That itself puts it in high place among games.

You know what: Wukong and Stellar Blade invoke 2000's feelings inside myself. Games made by gamers to the gamers. These games's agenda is to be fun and get played other people. I love this mentality.

What's more surprising is that Astro Bot and Metaphor didn't make the top 5 for the main award, despite both being eligible. Evidently, both must not be that popular in Europe. They should be happy that the TGAs aren't 100% fan voted.

Rebirth coming 2nd is impressive because it didn't have the benefit of recency bias and was locked to one platform all year.

I was just skipping throught their 50 pages thread about the TVGA nominations and MOST of them seem pretty butthurt the name even got nominated in the first place.
Most of them dismissing the nomination as ridiculous, offensive or claiming that the organization is "caving to the chuds" (because they are THAT mentally unwell).

The game isn't on the level of Hogwarts where even the name of the damn game cannot be posted without being moderated, but the general attitude that I see over there is not a positive one. Some are saying it being nominated invalidates the award entirely. So.....pretty much the same old shit over there.
