Is this award for the stage or are they getting it off camera so they don't take up precious advertising space?
 
Hope ZZZ wins

That said, while I like and play gacha games, I do think something like Stellar Blade actually deserves this spot. It’s kind of weird to see a bunch of gachas ruling the options. Clearly getting motivated by free rewards from these companies.
 
So, they not only give out awards behind closed doors, they also do it in a pre-show show. How about giving out all the awards in the awards show!
There would be some sort of time magician needed so that the show that you’re asking for can happen and not last 4-5 hours long.

They got a lot of votes. Bet the Zenless vs Genshin vs Black Myth vs Wuthering fanboy fights on Chinese boards are ruthless

How many people voting over there geez. Are is it just China Bots? You'd think North America + Europe could out vote China, right?....

Bots most likely. It's very easy to write a bot to do this with automation tools. I don't think the website even had mechanisms to stop bots voting.

Could be, but China has more people than NA and Europe combined. If China votes focus on Chinese games then non-Chinese games are at a huge disadvantage.

Black Myth Wukong has this in the bag most likely due it being the 1st traditional AAA game coming out of China, but I wouldn't mind a dark horse like Wuthering Waves winning it. 👀

Dang you right! LOL! It's like 1.6 Billion vs. 700 million. Even if you toss in Japan and South America.....that's still not enough to over take China.
 
No Dragon Age?

Dude why are the chuds grifters consumers world so transphobic? Don't they know this is fucking return to form?

tough call between black myth and erdtree…given only one is an original full release and the other an expansion/dlc, I’d give it to black myth

What an inaccurate shortlist of the quality of games in 2024.

Is Genshin also voted on DLC?

It’s a modestly successful (1 million sold in a couple months) PlayStation exclusive with 81 Metacritic. Did anybody actually think this had a chance of getting nominated?

Culture warriors think Stellar Blade is much bigger than it actually is.

No-one outside of their echo chambers think this game is anything more than solid.

Stellar Blade gets no respect.
Yup it's better than the others on the list. Game was very good with the attractive characters being a plus. Around 70k reviews on PSN with a 96/100 rating which is the true score and not the shitty journalist score from metacrtic. Although Rebirth and especially Space Marine 2 deserves it even more. Space Marine 2 deserve goty the most.

From that list Shadow of Erdtree, but I definitely not agree most of the games on this list here, but thats just me.

Stellar Blade has a user metacritic of 92, (It made the top 10 picks by the users, just not the top 5 that we see now), so yeah its a bigger GOTY contender than any of the gachas there. Gacha games give rewards to the players when they win awards so not surprizing alot of players voting for them.

Its probably the most miserable player choice selection of games i seen in a long while. The inclusion of DLC for GOTY was a mistake. From that list only Black Myth is a decent pick.

My personal GOTY, I hope the studio gets a crack at a sequel.
