Chinese players review bombing Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam after Black Myth Wukong lost Game of the Year

Swen Vincke of Larian announced GOTY at the TGAs, so Chinese players are taking it out on BG3

User reviews become more and more a joke. Professional reviews might have taken a nosedive too, but at least they have not that often such insane feelings driven energy and complete disregard of anything in between total garbage and glorios goty.
With AI chatbots and fake reviews, reviews will probably become even more useless than a huge bunch of them already are...

Didn't Sven give a speech that was all about "Make the game you love and are passionate about as developers and screw investors/budgets/etc?" This seems to be in line with what Wukong achieved?

It would seem there are plenty of salty fanboys over in China unhappy that they can't mass brigade their way to a win.

I watched Asmonbald and Shroud's reaction last night. Faces like slapped arses when Astro Bot won the GOTY. Unsurprisingly, none of them have played the game.

Ah, yes. These people. I remember when they bombed OW2 Steam page too enabling all kind of narratives in the process.
The fact that they are taking it out based on who delivered the award is mind boggling, but you can't review bomb Jeoff after all (not that he chooses who wins anyway...)

What a totally normal reaction.

Makes me happy it didn't win. Why are they taking it so personal as if he was the one that made it happen?

Thinnest skinned online pussies out of all the worlds internet users they cry at even the slightest perceived criticism of their tofu dreg country.
 
Not into BG3 or Wukong but Wukong is the better game if I have to choose.

Never get why people go through the effort of buying and reveiw bombing if true cause whatever the journalist chooses for TGA shouldn't change what you think is the best games. Space Marine 2, Rebirth, and Stellar Blade are still easily better than Astro Bot especially Space Marine 2 being the true best game of this year and nothing they choose will change that.

And there's still a chance that these reviews are from chinese players that legit didn't like the game so it's might not be a actual review bomb and just things the purple weirdos want to find in order to complain about something.

Nevermind.

Wuchang :: Fallen Feathers is out in 2025. It's Wukong but with a girl boss, so the Chinese can get behind that one instead.
