Astro over Metaphor hmmk haven't played Astro so cant say but ok

Well Astro doesn't feel like a 2006 game so it has that advantage over Metaphor

Only the big red circle :-D ... I was seeing the announcement via YouTube and Mr Xbox here is doing exactly this shitty face.

It's the same face of one or two years ago

Japan and Nintendo family games won. Sony just got lucky Doucet wanted to work for them and not for Nintendo.

Nintendo invented everything post?

I think this year was way worse... I mean, in this photo, Sarah at least was LOLing... yesterday, everyone @ XBox was doing that 'i crapped myself' face! :-D

He does have to sit there for what feels 30 hours... No actual awards to win so standing up won't happen.

 

[Lambogenie]

I would love to see the vote numbers for curiosity. I thought all if China voted Wukong?

The only thing they won was the Bethesda adaptation stuff... and they never even mentioned (probably rightfully so) Microsoft in any of that. I don't think they mention Microsoft for the Indiana Jones stuff either. It's funny that Microsoft probably paid for Harrison Ford for the night, but didn't want to pay him to do the game...

Phil is literally sitting to the left the team Asobi crew. You can see how disappointed he is. Still waiting for his career defining game of the year game awards win

Should have bought good developers, not Craptivision. Known to be up there with EA for trash.

 

[Horseganador]

Astrobot deserves Goty of course (Sony has won quite a few awards between this one and Helldivers 2) the reactions you see on Twitter are hilarious, some are on the verge of crying live, others are in a state of denial, others are talking about briefcases, others about Nintendo, etc...the faces of Phil, Greenberg and company are a meme.

 

[xenosys]

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Astro Bot seem to have jumped on the Amazon sales charts.

#6 - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
#13 - Astro Bot

It's also #4 on the Steam best sellers list and the top single-player game.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Best Sony game all gen easily

This is Gravity Rush

[tTHANOSs]

Already getting a sales boost from winning. #3 PS game on Amazon. #27 best among all video game products. Will almost certainly be higher tomorrow.

Will be interesting to see where digital ends up when PS Store refreshes over the next couple of cycles.

Winning GOTY could legitimately push this game into the 7-10 million category.

The game already received a nice boost during black Friday on Amazon and eventually sold out.

 

[Tg89]

Great game. Ultimately I thought it was way too easy for it's own good, which brought it down a few notches for me (definitely below Balatro, FF7, Metaphor for me).

Impossible to deny the quality though.

 

[tTHANOSs]

This win is more of statement to PlayStation and the industry that we need more 3d platformers that are not Nintendo. It was a quiet year for gaming. Wukong was never gonna win. Reviews are in the 80s. Metaphor was great but maybe too niche to win game of the year? I really thought Rebirth was going to take it but maybe part 3 will get it. The game awards has had some interesting winners of the years. GoW beat RDR2. It Takes Two won 2 years ago. TLOU2 still won even though gamers were mixed about it.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Fantastic game, well deserved. Very polished, varied levels that are just plain fun. Second-to-none Dualsense implementation.

I really enjoyed getting the platinum, my wife recently beat the game and loved it. My niece and nephew love the game, they especially like how you can replay the levels and spend 200 coins on the little bird that helps them find missing collectibles. Basically it’s a hit with everyone that plays it in our experience.

The free post-launch support has been nice as well. I completed the 5 speedrun levels recently, and I heard there was another new level releasing sometime this month. Not a whole lot to complain about, although at the risk of sounding boastful I did find the game to be on the easy side of things personally.

So do I.

I was smilling all along my time with this game.

Astrobot deserves this GOTY.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

His seat is an Xbox.

 

[NahaNago]

While I thought the game was really good the game was just too safe and felt unambitious outside of adding all of those astrobot characters from third party games. I still can see why it won since it didn't have any controversy and it is a well made game that was loved by most folks.

…or it could be that it is well polished video game that is just fun to play.

I know it's funny but i do believe Phil is happy for them… game is a celebration of the medium, especially for long time PS gamers.

mario odyssey didn't win the game of the year award. So, astro bot > mario, haha

Clearly Phil is now an Xbox. With a red ring of death.

 

[diffusionx]

Astro Bot is a very good game but I'd put in the lower half of GOTY winners. I actually thought Metaphor was going to win. Atlus deserves to bring one home.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Gamedesign won

Well Japan has the best game design, so....

Well Astro doesn't feel like a 2006 game so it has that advantage over Metaphor

 

[Brock2621]

Game was fantastic, massive kudos to them! SONY ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!?

Avengers Endgame is fun as well and i don't think anyone would say it is the movie of the year.

I'm sorry. Elden Ring's DLC that gave us so much content and raised the difficulty and it lost to that! A basic ass platformer It is stupid as all hell.

Youre right DLC gave you all that

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Brilliant

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

As it should be. This show was a Sony and 3rd party beat down. Was Xbox and Nintendo even there? /s. Was the grand total from Xbox and Nintendo just Hellblade 2 winning for Audio Design?

 

[AJUMP23]

Maybe I should pick this up and play it.

It's been a great year for RPG lovers, and I'm happy to hear that a platform game has been recognized.
It's probably a bad year if you expected AAA Western games to be great.
