10 Reasons Black Myth: Wukong Deserves GOTY At TGA 2024

Wukong deserves GOTY for 10 reasons.

screenrant.com

Further, Black Myth: Wukong excludes the frustrating aspects of popular soulslikes while incorporating more universally enjoyable elements, striking a delicate balance between fans of the soulslike genre and those that prefer a more straightforward action RPG. The level, combat, and boss design are standouts among the nominees, as well as the advancement system and art/cinematography. For all of these reasons and more, Black Myth: Wukong has a real shot at winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024.

For fuck sake, is there even a grain of integrity in the gaming "journalism"? What a clown.

 

[Draugoth]

It wasnt them, it was their shitty journalist DEI hired

 

[Glass Prison]

Thanks for giving me one reason not to click their website. I recommend everyone to do the same.

 

[Portugeezer]

So the other negatives don't count, OP?

[LectureMaster]

What bothers me more is that those review aggregator sites still include them as if they were honest source.

Steam user review is still currently the best.

 

[LectureMaster]

Holy shit, imagine find an angle defending this shit. Do you know you play a Monkey based on a 16th century Chinese novel? How the fuck "lacking inclusivity" is possibly a negative in such settings?

It's not your job to defend this lol

Clickbait derived from clickbait.

 

[VulcanRaven]

I don't see any problem if the review and that article are by different person. Reviews are opinion of that person only.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

It has a great amount of diversity for what it is, lots of different kind of demons and beasts, both male and female. Great gameplay and character design. I like Rebirth, Space Marine 2, and Stellar Blade more but Wukong definitely deserves a shot at GOTY and won't even mind if it did win.

 

[Fake]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the legacy media.

 

[SJRB]

Same as that clown who blasted Stellar Blade before it released but now says it's one of the best games of the year.

These losers stand for nothing.

From the review....

Tried to find different words other than fuck you but nothing came up.

Except they removed the reviewer's name due to the criticism and replaced it with

From the review....

When game journalism eventually be substituted for AI no one will ever care or even know about their names alright, theres no better safety than nobody giving a fuck about them anymore.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

that is not their headline, right?

 

[winjer]

The people on that site are truly retarded.

 

[The Cockatrice]

My score for the game was also a 6 but for different reasons. It doesnt deserve any GOTY. Peace

 

[dispensergoinup]

Gaming journalism hasn't been relevant to me since I stopped reading VG&CE a long time ago, not surprised current writers activists are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to gain favor.

For all its faults, I do rely on Steam reviews now. It's not perfect but there are some honest opinions there if you're looking for that.

That's fair as long as your view is consistent.

[Aenima]

I miss the days where you had to pay a ticket to see clowns perform. Now they are all over the place.

 

[Lobeo1107]

The game has monkey, pig, bear, wolf, dragons, spiders, demons, deities,... And still not enough diversity? What's the logic here.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

When you realize slacktivism doesn't actually pay your bills.

 

[Gonzito]

What a bunch of clowns

 

[DeepEnigma]

From the review....

Get over yourselves, ideologues.

 

[Topher]

Get over yourselves, ideologues.

Good luck getting into the journalism biz if you don't have what it takes to stand by your work.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

To answer your question. No. They do it for clicks and generating revenue. They thought that they would get clicks based on taking points from the game as it 'lacked diversity' (which is fucking retarded) and now they want to tell you why it's so good. They are delusional muppets.

 

[BennyBlanco]

They are literally begging for clicks.

 

[SHAKEZ]

For fuck sake, is there even a grain of integrity in the gaming "journalism"?

There's no integrity in journalism as a whole now.

I mean, if all they need is traffic, they might as well just follow Alyssa, opening up an Only Fans, and sell ass cheek selfies.

 

[Kerotan]

You want diversity in a fucking Chinese mythology game. The only diversity you're getting is monkeys and monsters. Blue haired freaks.

 

[Arachnid]

For fuck sake, is there even a grain of integrity in the gaming "journalism"? What a clown.

Gaming journalism isn't real journalism and it never will be.

 

[teokrazia]

The whole Chapter 4 is about a matriarchal family and some beefy cut-scenes of it were showed months before game release.

That reviewer didn't take time to play enough of the game or do some simple research.

Gaming journalsim is a joke.

 

[JustN82]

I wish they'd explain their change of view point. They should admit that they were too focused on some bullshit rather than enjoying the game.

 

[Plague Doctor]

You all seriously don't dislike the current mainstream gaming press enough. They have zero integrity, openly despise the consumer base, clique obsessed to point of a fraternal order, and they will push any corporate message to retain their access.

Post a transcript, screen shot, or archive link to mock them, but fucking don't ever post their links. Cut the oxygen off on their sunsetting dinosaur of an industry.

Out of interest, how do you rank it against Dragon Age Veilguard?

 

[Rush2112]

game journalism, as a profession, attracts a lot of mentally ill people.

 

[Ridicululzz]

It's funny actually you see the same thing happening with Stellar Blade. A lot of these journalists were hating on it early on, but now suddenly they love it!

Think Paul Tassi even wrote about how it was one of his favorite games this year, even though early on he wrote about how it receiving praise from players was excessive

 

[The Cockatrice]

Out of interest, how do you rank it against Dragon Age Veilguard?

Haven't rated Veilguard yet, but I guess 0.5-1 point lower than it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I don't care what your opinion is, if it's something you lean into hard. Don't flop. That makes people question your authenticity.

 

[GHG]

Haven't rated Veilguard yet, but I guess 0.5-1 point lower than it.

So you'd rank them similarly?

 

[kiphalfton]

Holy shit, imagine find an angle defending this shit. Do you know you play a Monkey based on a 16th century Chinese novel? How the fuck "lacking inclusivity" is possibly a negative in such settings?

Prejudice against monkeys.

youre very strict - just an observation not meant to imply good/bad

Yeah my average scores are usually around 7'ish. These days very rarely do games reach over 8. I think Like a Dragon and SH2 are the only ones that are above 8'ish this year. Might be missing some.
