Really? I don't check the messages but overall people agree on it. Sure, you can't please everyone but seeing they win it in front of so many, let's say important, people together with the message from the Larian guy sends a positive but very important message.
its mostly on tiktok and a bit on x/twitter. It's largely influenced by streamers loving wukong for some reason

Obviously the winner was my beautiful Kat.

She's not a real person and, if she was, she wouldn't be interested.

Move on, weirdo.
 
I knew astro bot winning goty would bring out alot of salt but this is next level.:messenger_grinning_sweat:

And this is the reason why people hate this brand, even their shills are zealots.

Obnoxious, community driven (but paid) bullshit PR , propaganda and the ever eternal persecution complex, imagine being a grown woman (or man) and going on an unhinged rant about a game (literally) like Astrobot and name-dropping Hellblade 2, you can make this shit up...

Video games = serious business amirite?

i havent seen this much hate for a GOTY ever, social media is going insane over this winning. Im happy GAF supports its win, gaming needs games that are fun, we can't have only Nintendo creating them.
I'm suprised with the amount of hate.

I thought we'd just get a few grumbles and people move on.

Sony exclusive and also comparisons to sony having a mario quality platformer got some people in the feels.
 
The hate comes from

1) Asmongold and his minions/ others of his ilk who stream PC games on Twitch and think consoles owners are beneath them (Asmon also owns a pre-made gaming PC company so he directly benefits from people switching to PC)

2) Anti-woke grifters who converged around Wukong to stick it to Sweet Baby/ IGN/ whoever else

3) Chinese people who for some reason attached their entire self-worth to this award, despite pretending nobody cares what Dorito Pope thinks.

If any of these people had an IQ over 70, they would have realized that this extremely mediocre game which has an 81 MC score on PC and 76 on PS5 was only nominated to get Chinese viewers to tune in to TGA, and then subsequently farm engagement online when it inevitably lost. Even Hellblade 2 has a higher MC score.

Silent Hill 2 was robbed of a GOTY nom so these self important pricks could feel better about their lives.

I wanted Rebirth to win, but I also LOVED Astro Bot so I'm perfectly fine with this GOTY.

Gotta play Metaphor soon to know what I'm missing.

What makes them more mad is they can't control the narrative for games like astro bot to make it fail.

Most those goofies haven't even played astro bot, and guys like asmond have the gaming taste of watery diarrhea.

I think Astro’s biggest obstacle is it’s never been in a game genre that isn’t platforming, Mario has kart racing, open world, sports, rpg and just a more developed character and Sony doesn’t love characters long term, lets be honest they always kill them off.

I kind of wish there was a requirement for GOTY to have Hell and II in the title. The meltdowns when Microsoft still came up short would have been even more epic.

Damn he didnt even move the entire time ehehehehe. I noticed his reaction when they got on stage to accept the award. Felt like everybody was clapping except for him in the first row.
