Are you kidding me??? AS if those **** at ign could beat the first boss in wukong, "gamejournalists" are a joke, in the past maybe they where gamers but nowadays its just a bunch of bluehaired diversity hire who cant play shit and if they spot a beautyful character they go trigger mode since they are ugly and insecure.... go woke go broke!
@FallofAvarice Not true. Kang Jin Star is waaay taller than the Destined One and that puts a lot of unfair pressure on women's body image. The Violet Spider literally has 8 legs! /s
They probably gave up on the first boss, I did for half an hour to calm down then I tryed again an kicked his ass. They obviously just quit and called it a shit game. 🙄
Fun fact: IGN reported there were no female characters in BM Wukong. Yet, starting from Chapter 3, all the gorgeous female characters began appearing. You wonder who rated a game without playing even half of it?
@@Vaporwave_Z, all those journos rate a game and don't even play it. Yesterday I saw Dexerto rating Diablo IV 100, and the highest rate from players is 3.1 on Xbox. A little deviating, isn't it?
Game Science sold 20 million copies already. They're laughing to the bank. Game Science doesn't give a rat's ass about GOTY award in the West. BMW is already GOTY in China.
But they should. Eastern companies these days are the only ones making good, non forced DEI woke games, same with the very good looking and upcoming Phantom Blade Zero. They need to, if needed they have to sue those fu*ks. Losing on a potentially winning game, would massively widen their audience even more in the west.
There’s no way in hell they’ll acknowledge Black Myth Wukong, Stellar Blade or The First Descendant. Just like Godzilla Minus One wasn’t acknowledged in the awards show. Foreign products are embarrassing the hell out of the American entertainment industry so you know they won’t win a single award. They might give them a nomination to appease us, but we know they’re going to get screwed over and we’re going to be there to call out their bullshit.
I beg to differ. Since this is not xbox and you’re not forced to update or purchase game twice just to play on a second ps5.

@@michealfunickrr3717 DLC is never a new game by itself. SotE isn't a standalone experience, it's an expansion of Elden Ring. It'd be the same as stating Aftermath is a new MK game.
Now that I think about it, I think Doom Eternal was snubbed at the awards intentionallly, like what's happening with Wukong and Space Marine 2 now, and Hogwarts Legacy last year, I remember the journalists foaming at the mouth at the "mortally challenged" jokes, and other such jokes, but we didn't imagine they would be this petty back then, we know better now tho
unfortunately its been more or less confirmed some of these outlets get massive cash injections BC their "not allowed to fail" Like this is some sort of gotcha move to gamers?
I listen to a podcast that features two ex game journalists, and whilst they are a little woke, they explain that a lot of publishers still think the mainstream game journo industry has a lot of swing so still use and I imagine fund them with advertising dollars etc.
Is anyone surprised by this? It's a good game, one that refused to "westernize" itself and isn"t worshipping their "virtuous" world views. Now some "inclusive" people are even trying to downplay this game's sucess by using the argument that most of the sales are from china therefore it shouldn't count. Isn't it interesting that where the sales are from SUDDENLY matters here even though, unless i'm wrong, it NEVER did before?
YEP. I remember See one article about the Last of Us 2, they would always mention the sales of that game as to refute many people's negative comments about the game. Like "Those of you who don't like this game are a minority, just look at the sales." and Now we have a double standard to measure BM wukongSells. "10 Million Copies in Just 3 Days? ! well...Because most of the sales come from China..." Like what? The Chinese gamers not considered gamers? sales in China not counted in sales? BS Double Standards bro...
Fun fact: IGN reported there were no female characters in BM Wukong. Yet, starting from Chapter 3, all the gorgeous female characters began appearing. You wonder who rated a game without playing even half of it?
I enjoyed the Elden Ring DLC so much, and the feelings I got after beating Bayle and the final boss (cause spoilers) are second to none. But DLC should not be counted as a whole "game", Wukong is my pick thus far for GOTY, and it's absolutely disgraceful as to how mainstream western game media has treated it in its lifespan. I hope it wins by a landslide to send a message.
The GOTY franchise everywhere is another gaming casualty of the Woke Cultists approach to games they don't like. Last year it was Hogwarts Legacy and this year it's Black Myth Wukong. Hardly a surprise, is it?
Hogwarts was a snoozefest tho.. it was never going to win game of the year lol.. why is it so hard to believe that some people just don't like what you like? Lol The fromsoft, souls likes are literally all the same with different cosmetics anyway..
not a surprise, even with the viewer's choice, they still need to set their own biased agenda I'd be more surprised about the people who actually find IGN trustworthy ngl and don't know about all the shit at that cesspool
Ikr, they have different voting categories already, the "elite" votes being worth more than the "peasants" votes, and they still messed with the players votes, these guys smh....
The most I can tolerate is that, if BMW doesn't win, either Stellar Blade or Metaphor Refantazio do. Anything else is clearly a scam, especially FF VII Flopped Rebirth.
I have managed to make it into my forties without ever reading IGN. All I know about them is when I google questions about games they are the worse source, can’t get to the answer because of all the ads and filler. Worthless.
GameScience probably doesn't give too much crap (maybe a little) about a US based game awards with their 20Million + Sales and $ in their pocket. They know as well as you know who the real winner is
So this is not a diversity or quality issue in games, this is pure western politics. They want to get rid of Chinese games, just like they did with TikTok and Huawei. This is disgusting.
I remember a while back when it was…Vanguard and the new modern Battlefield, they hadn’t released yet and Vanguard had 5 full stars on the store while Battlefield had 1 star. The manipulation that takes place is ridiculous. Gaming companies need to be held accountable as hard as they hold people accountable for saying shit on game chat.
It wouldn’t be the first time it was rigged. Last year’s best selling game, Hogwarts Legacy, didn’t get nominated for a single thing at the Game Awards
Game of the year from IGN means nothing. The only thing that matters is if a game makes money or not. That’s how real gamers actually vote. With their money.
Probably they will give the GOTY to Dragon Age(nda): Gaylguard, they are just waiting for the release. They need to make this to prove to anyone "DEI worth". Will be the greatest irony of all time in gaming. The "GAYT" will be the game that will bury the dev into bankrupt, or someoone still believe BioWare will survive after this mega-flop? But, my opinion, outlet's GOTY is like Oscar... They never give to the movie that's deserve, but in the end, what's matter it's the audience liking and paying for the product... To me, Stellar Blade is the unquestionable GOTY.
@@noone12748 Yeah. Agenda is the playbook since back them. But now players have more honest youtubers and influencers support to make their own choices, and we can trust on them.
@@glenmcl Glad you like it! Was my first impression of the game, "That's not Dragon Age!! It's purely Dragon Agenda!!!" Sad to see one of my favorite franchises being destroyed, but, we need to rise the head and be merciless with this kind of ideology and their defenders, no matter how we loved that game in the past.
Fans should just get together and fund a proper award from users to developers of Black Myth Wukong. The true reward and acknowledgement by players that this is truly the game of the year.
The whole gaming community needs to stop watching their videos. I don’t know anyone that has anything good to say about IGN these days yet they still rack up millions of views. After countless terrible reviews, the hit piece on BMW was the last straw for me. I refuse to watch any of their videos now. If you want to watch reviews or game trailers. Watch them on the smaller channels
I miss the times, where gaming wasn´t mainstream. It was was fun hobby, but now everbody tries to sell you overpriced garbage and to find the gems is much harder.
IGN did dirty things when people fall asleep. guess what, the other side of the Earth just finished work and witnessed it all. 😅They even live streamed IGN's actions on social media 🤣You can never cheat all the players around the world.
Where is Stellar Blade, Wukong, and Space Marine 2? And wow, finding tons of votes after hours that come out of nowhere? Sounds kinda like another voting thing that happened a few years ago..
Daily reminder: IGN didn't see any women in Wukong, which proves they didn't even play it.
