| Kyuu said: Holy shit what's up with the all the GOTY drama? Why are some Wukong fans pretending it's a 97+ masterpiece robbed by 75 rated (and woke) AstroBot? It's a pleasant surprise that Wukong got nominated at all considering its aggregated scores. Weird (and unprecedented lol). |
I do feel there's a bit of nationalism at play here, I saw Baldur's Gate 3 was being review bombed by mostly Chinese users after the show because Swen presented the award which is insane, but Wukong was also the first Chinese title nominated and it's massive in China, I've a feeling there are some thinking westerners are ignoring the Chinese developed titles and being bias against them.
But it's mostly culture war nonsense as per usual. Wukong was the "anti-woke" videogame so they wanted Wukong to win to stick it to all these "woke studios" but now that Wukong hasn't won they'll just say how it's now a woke conspiracy, the journalists are working against our glorious "anti-woke" videogames like Wukong. It's all very pathetic and not really worth paying attention to, Astrobot deserved it, let them cry.
Wukong looks like a good game but I have no interest in it, Astrobot is a more than deserving winner, at least the expansion didn't win.
