As I can only speak for myself, but I found it surprising because platforming games / family games don't generally win GOTY all that often. Of the six nominations, I personally had only played Astro Bot (which I like / think is fine, but it's not my personal GOTY), Shadow of the Erdtree (which I adore but disagree with it being nominated seeing as how it's DLC), and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (which I don't like). I believe Lee wanted Metaphor or Balatro to win, I have no idea what Emu, Greedy, and Jack wanted to win (probably Balatro). My own personal GOTY is Sniper Killer by Black Eyed Priest and Puppet Combo. Also in regards to "highest rated game of the year" - it's tied with Erdtree and Metaphor on Metacritic.
@@Saber0307 Astro Bot is ahead on Metacritic because it has a ton more critic reviews (139 vs Elden Rings 70 and Metaphors 56) and a much higher User Score (9.2 vs Elden Rings 8.1 and Metaphors 8.8). Plus a platformer won two years ago in It Takes Two. We're back in the era of the platformer and I'm living for it! Thank you for mentioning Sniper Killer though, I've never heard of it and it looks amazing!
It Takes Two had the indie novelty thing going on - I haven't played it, but I definitely would like to. I'm certainly a fan of platforming games, and would love to see more 3D platformers / mascot platformers. I've been longing for Microsoft to do something with the Banjo-Kazooie IP for years now. Maybe with the Activision acquisition they can liberate Vicarious Visions from the Call of Duty mines and have them take a crack at it. Just normally I wouldn't expect Astro Bot to win. Like I said - it's good, just not my personal GOTY preference. Please do! Most of the stuff by Puppet Combo and Black Eyed Priest is a lot of fun, especially if you're into horror, games with a retro / PS1 aesthetic, and stuff reminiscent of 80s schlock. From Black Eyed Priest I'd specifically recommend Bloodwash and Night at the Gates of Hell, and from Puppet Combo I'd recommend Murder House. They're all usually pretty short, and overall really entertaining.
@jamesb7924 also Night At The Gates of Hell comes with The Booty Creek Cheek Freak, which is wonderful: ruclips.net/video/rSsX_faO7O4/видео.htmlsi=ONuuAy9A8DWbgbKU
Similarly, "I can't even" when people comment "bad take" or "l take" without adding any context or providing a counterpoint. Everybody's free to disagree with me or the people I heckled the Game Awards with and I'd love to engage in a discussion, but basic posts like this indicate to me that you dropped your clown shoes.
@@Saber0307 you're coming off as petty. Like this was just a random comment and you immediately responded. It's cringe. I didn't get to wear my clown shoes, the store said you bought them all.
1. I happen to be at my computer. 2. I posted my response a half an hour after you posted your comment. 3. There's nothing "petty" about seeing "so many bad takes" from somebody who doesn't specify what they're referring to, and responding about how mentioning that not adding specifics when saying "bad take" is pretty lame / doesn't really foster a conversation. You literally could be referring to anything. 4. Additionally, by *your own logic*, you would be the one who is petty seeing as how you directly responded to my comment within 3 minutes.
hi, one of the hecklers here. i can only assume that you're young and one of two things happened here: 1) you're butthurt about an opinion one of us had because people like you associate differing opinions with an attack on your character. part of being an adult includes accepting that people are going to have tastes and opinions that are worlds apart from your own. furthermore, as Saber said previously, making comments that provide nothing further than "L take" is not providing any sort of discussion, which leads me to believe that you're not articulate enough to do so. which is fine, but maybe refrain from making "random comments" like these if you're not prepared to back anything up in case someone decides to engage you, because it only makes you look foolish. 2) you didn't actually watch the video and decided to comment some braindead nonsense on a video from a smaller channel, because you think you're owning a smaller content creator. quick question: would you post this kind of comment on a channel with 1mil subs? probably not, because you'd get torn to shreds by dozens (if not hundreds) of other people who aren't afraid to call clown behavior like this out. either way, thanks for watching the video and for commenting so many times -- it helps with engagement and in turn will pump this video into more algorithms :)
From Emu, who was one of the two people in VC who saw Challengers: My thoughts on Challengers (for context, the prose is intentionally purple to make fun of the pretentious fuckwits who creamed themselves over that piece of shit), copy/pasted here for posterity: Challengers was absolutely remarkable in its incompetence. Clocking in at 2 hours and 11 minutes, it was truly the longest movie I've ever seen in my life. For a film sold on two things - sex and tennis - it was stunningly unsexy and the tennis mired down in shockingly poor cinematography and drowned out by incessant europop tripe stolen from the dumpster behind a grimy German discotheque. It's framed around a tennis match between two former friends, locked in a heated race to the bottom for least likable film protagonist of all time. On one side, we have declining tennis star, living a life of luxury and acting liked a kicked puppy at every possible opportunity. On the other, a poor, childish douchebag who the script asserts repeatedly is charming and the performance refutes. But neither can win this race, because the woman for whose affections they compete for makes them both look like shining ideals of humanity. Zendaya gives an absolute tour-de-farts performance as the flakey, manipulative creature that the film seems to want us to empathize with. A ghoul captured in soft focus and angelic lighting, for whom the camera tries desperately to lend an air of wicked sexuality with constant slow motion and bizarre variable framerates, and succeeds only in creating unbearable lacunae in which the mind may contemplate the existential implications of wasting its limited time consuming this meandering dumpster fire of a film. I could go on, but this is already too much time wasted thinking about this year's Razzie lock. 1/10 stars, and only because it gets half a point for a single charming scene that manages to squeeze in one good laugh, and achieves some of the bisexual tension the movie was marketed on.

it's really baffling that the game awards managed to let an ai generated cat game into the announcements
every year i hope there will be something with atomic runner and mischief makers, and every year i walk away disappointed 😞
I thought I was the only one who disliked Challengers
"Whaaaat?" "Surprising" "I don't agree with that one" when the highest rated game of the year and beloved game by gamers wins GotY lmao

Helldivers 2 doesn’t have loot boxes
Yeah, I know - it's a joke about the state of the industry.
So many bad takes i can't even
not specifying what takes are bad or mentioning what you disagree with while just saying "bad take" is particularly silly
